(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, June 12.-selection
of a successor to Charles e. Hughes on
the supreme court already is being con-
sidered by President Wilson. Attorney
General Gregory probably will be called
into conference in day or two, and the
appointment may be made within the
next two weeks.
Although the supreme court adjourns
today until October, department of JUS

justice be appointed quickly so that he
can give consideration during the sum-
mer months to cases pending. This is
considered almost imperative in view of
the fact that Justice McReynolds is bar
red from participation in consideration
of several of the most important cases
because he took part in presenting them
to the court as attorney general.
1t is understood that the president
would like to appoint John w. Davis,
solicitor general, but may be deferred
from doing so because Mr.. Davis pre-

to the Democratic national convention
which left hero for st. Louis today on
three trains by as many different rail-
roads. They expect to arrive in the con-
vention city early tomorrow afternoon.
The majority of the three parties is
composed of Tammany enthusiasts
many of whom have not missed attend
ing a Democratic national convention
for years. As compared with the num-
Der of men Tammany sent to the Bal
timore convention four years ago the
Tammany colors at st. Louis will be
small for there were about 1000 at Bal

Those who left here on an Erie train

Charles W. Culkin commanded another

Pennsylvania railroad. while Thomas

on this old man who was indicted in
New York for using the mails to defraud

That was last June. He came by way

never knew that the quaint patriarch
who spent the long days painting sea
scapes from the deck was a combination

Esaacson spent two days in Atlanta
before he took himself to prison. To a
Journal reporter, who accompanied him
to the gate in the great white wall, he
bade an affecting farewell. Tears rolled
down his cheeks, he clutched his side
with his hand, he could scarcely speak.
THAT is the sunset of my life,' he
cried dramatically, as a last beam struck
through the barred windows on his face.
II am dying-dytng.
1t was sheer melodrama, perhaps, but
melodrama ennobled by the pitiful fig
ure the little old man made, so broken
and old and far from home.
The reporter did not see Esaacson
again until Sunday year and a day.
The honor prisoner came out smiling
where he went in with tears; he walked
swiftly along the walk where once he
tottered: he was cheerful, almost gay.

freedom, quoting verse after verse of
