Supreme Court Vacancy.

President Wilson and Attorney Cen
eral Gregory have had several con-
ferences recently about the vacancy IN
the Supreme Court Of the United States
and President Wilson is believed to be
nearly ready to make a nomination to
the Senate. In some quarters it was
thought the selection might be finally
made this afternoon or tonight, be-
fore the departure of the President for
New York, but if this is not done the
nomination Will go over until after the
return of the President from the west.
Frederick Lehman of st. Louis, who
was solicitor general in the Taft ad-
ministration, although democrat. was
today regarded standing the best
chance of being selected unless the
President at the last minute concludes
to yield to the strong sentimental and
professional demand for William H.
Taft. Friends of Mr.. Taft, who is in
no sense candidate for the place,
represent him as highly pleased with
the expressions Of friendship for him
that have been so widespread
All the candidates are before the
President and delegations have ceased
to call at the White House in behalf
of favorite Jurists and lawyers; In
other words. the President has heard
all that is to be said and his decision
is the last step.
Goes to New York Tonight.
President Wilson, who will have lit
| tie time around the White House from
now until February 4, worked hard
| today to clear up pending work. To-
night he leaves for New York to make
the first of his preparedness speeches
tomorrow. He will be in Washington
gain Friday. but only for a short time.
and will then depart for the west on
his first tour. taking in the states of
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Wisconsin,. Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
President Wilson decided today to
make brief platform speeches at Wau-
kegan, ILL.,: Kenosha, Wis: Iowa City,
| Iowa: Lawrence, Kan: Racine, Wis,
and East st. Louis during his middle
| western trip. He has been invited to
| speak at many other towns along his
route, but acceptance depends upon the
| train schedules. 1t was indicated that
| while he will devote himself princi-
paliy to the preparedness issue, he will
also discuss other questions pending in
! Congress.

Serbs to Keep Up Fight.

PARIS, January 26.-The Corfu corre-
spondent of the Petit Parisien has had
an interview on the island with Nikola
Pachitch. the Serbian premier. and
quotes him as saying:
"The retreat of our troops from AL
bania to Corfu is far from completed.
Those who suffered most will soon be
sent to places where they Will be cared
for, reorganiZed aid rearmed. AS for
the others. if they are kept supplied
you may be sure they will continue
the campaign in Albania with vigor.
Surprises for the Enemy.
"They will give the enemy some un-
pleasant surprises. for in Albania the
roads and paths can be defended by
small numbers of men. and it is simply
a question of transports and supplies
and you alone, the allies, can solve the
problem.
Give US enough to eat and We shall
hold on and we shall fight. 1 am GER
tain that with you and by your aid we
shall triumph. 1 repeat that we are
absolutely sure that the allies will tri-
umph, and our one wish is to be able
to contribute t, the great victory"

Would Reserve q. S. Rights.

AS a condition of independence the
President would be empowered to re-
serve by definite agreement with the
new government lands and rights
necessary for naval bases, coaling sta
tions and other property required for
military purposes in the islands.
The amendment would further pro-
vide that. if at any time prior to the
expiration of four years. the President
should fnd that proper steps had not
been taken to establish an Independent
government. "or if he should find it ex-
pedient for reasons affecting the well
fare of the Filipinos themselves or the
international relations of the United
States" or if he should be unable to
negotiate agreements for protection of
American property the President would
be authorized to delay recognition of
Philippine independence until a new
American Congress could further con-
slider the case.

SUCCESS OF COMPULSlON
HANGING IN THE BALANCE
President of Conference Assails Bill
Now Pending in the House
of Lords.
FEARS FOR FUTURE VOICED
To Be Hard and Bad World" for
Labor, Speaker Asserts, When
the Present War Has
Been Ended.

BRISTOL. England. January
20, 1880 p.m.-The representa-
tives OF more than 100000 MEM
bers OF trades unions met here
today to decide the attitude o!
organized labor toward the war,
and. in particular, compulsory
military service.
The conference is regarded as
the most important of its kind
ever held in England.
The session OF the conference
will last three days. and it prom
ises to be a momentous one N
the annals OF the movement.
Fate Depends on Labor.
The compulsory military service bill
having passed the house of commons
and encountered little opposition in tlN
house of lords. the outcome of the long
campaign on this issue will depend
largely on the attitude of organized
labor.
Although great opposition to com
pulsion developed at the London labor
conference, it is believed this feeling
has died down to a considerable ex-
tent since that time
Early in the proceedings an attack on
the compulsory service bill was made
by the president of the conference.
William Anderson. member of parlia-
ment for the Attercliffe division of
C|t-
posed the bill in parliament. declared
that it did not redeem the pledge of
Premier Asquith regarding compui-
'.No form of words can offer immunity
from danger" he said. We cannot
have forced military service without
the risk of forced industrial service.
An attempt to use this weapon to
coerce trades unionists will lead to
great bitterness and end in failure"
Mr.. Anderson said there was danger
in Great Britain's attempting the inn
possible" by seeking to be simultane-
ously a great naval. great military
and a great industrial power. He said
the world would be different after the
war, adding: 1T will be hard and a
bad world for labor unless labor takes
a hand in shaping it,
Horrifed by ATROCITIES"
The first resolution was moved by
James Sexton, on behalf of the National
Union of Dock Workers. The resolu-
ton expresses "the horror of the con-
ference at the atrocities committed by
Germany and her allies" and pledges
the conference to assist the govern
ment az far as possible to prosecute the
war successfully.
Mr. Sexton said he was opposed 10
militarism but that the war must be
won.
If Germany wins. he continued.
nothing else on God $ earth matters
Ramsay Macdonald labor member OF
ma arliament, appealed for liberation. He
denrecated such a controversial reso-
luton. which. he said. was calculated
to interfere with labor's previous COM
radesbip and unity in fighting a COM
mon enemy Mr.. SeXton's motion was
adopted by card vote of ..5o2.eoo
against 6O2 900.

Clarke Refuses to Talk.

Senator Clarke of Arkansas. who op-
posed the shipping bill last year. fight
ing it hard, had half an hours talk
with the President during which the
President suggested that he would be
glad to see the Arkansas senator join
the supporters of the administration
on this legislation. Mr.. Clarke would
not talk about his visit on leaving the
White House.
The President is understood to have
pointed out to Senator Clarke and the
other callers that a number of the
features of the bill to which they have
heretofore objected have been elimi-
mated. notably government ownership,
also telling them that the adminstra-
ton is strongly committed to this leg
islation and hopes that it may become
law through the united work of the
democratic forces IN Congress.

Course of Procedure.

that not later than four years. nor less
than two years, after the meeting of the
Filipino legislature to be created by the
pending bill the President should with
draw from the Philippines the sovereignty
of the United States and proclaim the in
dependence of the Filipino people. provided
at the time he should find that proper
steps had been taken in the islands to
secure by peaceful means an independent
Philippine government. republican in
form. stable in character and prepared
to enter into such binding agreements
with the United States as the President
may deem necessary for the protection of
recognized rights and interests of Ameri
cans and other nationals in the islands

sured the President that the House will
not delay an early adjournment and
will soon get to work upon revenue

dumping act. The President has been
led to expect long debates and delays
in the Senate over natioral defense.
shipping, tariff and revenue bills.
The conference with Mr.. Kitchin es
pecially related to the shipping bill.
Mr.. kitchin, majority leader. has
before him copy of the Alexander bill
and promised the President to study it
carefully. Mr.. Alexander has already
talked with Mr.. kitchin about the pro-
visions of the bill. and Mr.. Kitchin is
1t is understood the bill will carry an
authorization for the expenditure of
between s40,000.000 and S50.00O.000 for
the purchase of ships, a bond issue to
furnish the money.
The fact that the President today
made personal appeals to leading dem
ocrats to stand by the administration
on the shipping bill shows, it is said,
that he is going to shove the bill
along and try to obtain action upon it
rush Of Congress and again releSated
to the rear.
With Senator Simmons. who had been
summoned for a conference, the Presi-
dent discussed the shipping bill, the
proposed tariff board and the Philip

these might be gotten out of the way
as speedily as possible.

Mr.. Wilson Confers With
Former RecaIcitrant Demo-
Gratis in Congress.
EXECUTIVE TO STAND BY
SHIPPING BILL TO END
Representatives Kitchin and Fitz-
gerald and Senator Clarke Urged
to Back Administration Plans.

President Wilson today put in
several hours of diligent work
urging former recalcitrant demo-
Gratis of Senate and House to
support the shipping bill which
the administration proposes to
stand BY to the limit at this ses-
sion OF Congress. and talking with
these same men about pushing
legislation generally so that Con-
gress may get through its labors
as early as possible.
Representatives Kitchin and Fitzger-
aid. who were not friends of the last
shipping bill. and Senator Clarke of
Arkansas. who bitterly fought the
measure in the Senate, were personally
urged by the President to cooperate
with the administration forces in
showing the measure along. Mr.. Kitchin
thinks he may be able to aid the Pres
dent; Mr.. Fitzgerald, who has not read
the Alexander bill. which the admin
istration is supporting. says he cannot
say what he will do until he knows
what the bill contains, and Mr. Clarke
did not make any promise as to what
he will do.
