NAMED AS JUDGE
BY THE PRESIDENT
Congressman Hay Is Appointed to
Position in Order to Get
Rid Of Him.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Presf-
dent Wilson today nominated Con-
gresham James Hay, Of Madison,
Virginia, to be judge on the United
States court of claims.
Congressman Hay, veteran mem
her of the house, is chairman OF the
military committee whose much crit
icized federalized militia bill furnish
ed the frame work for the present
army reorganization plan. Accept
ance Of the position and his retire
ment from congress is expected to
be announced at once.
For several months 1t has been re-
ported in congressional circles that
the administration was trying to find
a place for Hay. Many of his policies
have not agreed with those OF the
president. When the army bill was
in the making, Hay, Secretary of War
Garrison and the president became
involved in a three cornered fight
over the provisions OF the bill. Hay
was a small army man. Hay demand
ed that the militia provisions should
be embodied, while Garrison and the
president stood for citizen sol
diery.
Feeling between Hay and Garrison
became very bitter and when it ap-
neared the president could not force
a volunteer army idea through con-
eress because of Hays opposition,
Garrison resigned.

Axe Murder Suspect.

RED OAK, Iowa, July 15.-The
Montgomery grand jury got down to
business here today, examining the
evidence against William Mansfield.
brought here from Kansas City, Kan.
sas, charged with the Villisca axe
murders of four years ago,
1t is expected that there is enough
evidence to keep the jury busy It'll
Friday, when Mansfield will have his
preliminary hearing and be defended
by his Kansas City attorney. R. H
Thorpe, a restaurant man from Shen
andoah, was here today and identified
Mansfield as the man he saw the
morning after the murder, boarding
I, train at Clarinda. This man said he
had walked from Villisca. If this is
substantiated, it will break down
Mansfield's alibi. Mrs. Vina Thomp-
kins, of Marshalltown, is on her way
here to testify that she heard three
men in the woods plotting the murder
of the Moore family a short time be-
fore the killing.
