DAVIS MAY SUCCEED
HUGHES ON BENCH
President Wilson Said to Prefer
Solicitor General for the Place.

Washington, June IL Selection OF a
successor TO Charles Z. Hughes in
the Supreme Court already is being
considered by President Wilson. Attor-
ney General Gregory probably will be
called into a conference in a day or
two, and the appointment may be made
within two weeks.
Although the Supreme Court ad-
jorned to-day until October, Depart
ment of Justice officials are anxious
that a new justice be appointed quickly,
so that he can give consideration dur
ing the summer months to cases now
pending. This is considered almost i'm
perative. Justice McReynolds is barred
from consideration of several Of the
most important cases because he took
part in presenting them to the court as
Attorney General.
The President, it is understood,
would like to appoint John W. Davis,
Solicitor General, but may be deferred
from doing so because Mr.. Davis pre-
pared a number Of cases now pending
for the Department of Justice Several
messages urging the appointment Of
ex-President Taft have been received,
but the President is expected TO name
a Democrat, since the court now has
five Republicans and three Democrats.

heads of the church, which one member
did not hesitate to call scandal, has
become public through Edmund J. Tins

against the church, it is expected that

of the church.

ORPET PROSECUTION
GIVEN SERIOUS BLOW
Chum of Murdered Girl, State
Witness, Changes Testimony.


Chicago, June r. Josephine Davis,
expected 10 be the stAr witness for the
state in the trial of viii II. Orpet for
the murder of Marian Lambert, her
chum, to-day took the stand at the call
of the defence and dealt the prosecu-
tion what is regarded as a serious blow.
Miss Davis had testified at the Coro-
ner's inquest and before the grand jury
that the Lambert girl on the day OF
her death appeared TO be happy, and
this was expected by the prosecution
20 refute the suicide theory advanced
by the defence. To- day, however. she
testified that Marian was not always
in good spirits. and that she had Sc
oret sorrow.
States Attorney Dady was asked II
he would take any action toward OBJ
tanning an indictment OF the witness
for perjury.
IL am not sure" he said 81 may
take action against somebody else"
His remark is construed as limiting
that there have been influences at work
on witnesses for the state, and signih-
canoe is added to this by the disclosure
to-day that three other witnesses had

where Orpet was a student, 10 testify.
They are Charles Hassinger, who ad-
mitted he sold a two-ounce bottle TO

Thus without the Withdrawals for
