N ESPECIAL TO the rrttoRAA,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Will
John w. Davis, solicitor general of
the United States and one OF West
Virginia's foremost citizens, be ap-
pointed to the bench Of the United
States Supreme Court to all the va
cancy created by the death of Justice
Lamar?
That is a question that all West
virginians in Washington are ask
ing and a great many others who are
not West Virginians. In all the fig
uring and calculating going on over
who is likely to receive this big ap-
pointment, 1t is significant that So
licitor General Davis's name is never
omitted.
The reasons for this are that an
intimacy has grown up between Presi-
dent Wilson and the man from West
Virginia, founded on mutual high
regard. The president is known to
have more than once spoken in the
most complimentary manner Of the
Intellectual attainments Of the solicit
tor general, emphasizing especially
his respect for Mr.. Davis's legal abtl-
ity. 1t has been expected right along
that, should the opportunity offer it.
self to the president to elevate Davis
to a higher position he would gladly
take advantage of it. The public's
idea Of 1t was that Mr.. Davis stood
IN an enviable position with the
president to get promotion either to
the supreme court bench or to the
cabinet.
MANY things will figure in making
an appointment of this magnitude,
and nobody knows what the Presl-
dent will do, and one mans guess Is
as good as another. In the lost the
name Of Solicitor Davis always tig-
ures. as has been stated, in a prefer
entail position along with the names

NEW YORK. Helen Keller, the

them all, however, by her sense OF
humor. She detests pity and unless
she can meet interviewers on an equal
basis she prefers not to be inter-
viewed.
one interviewer, more bold than
the others. inquired why Miss Keller
was not married. The blind deaf
girl replied naively: Because no one
has asked me-" She then described
her ideal. He must, first of all be a
Socialist and next he must be hand
some. (voice-impossible.) He must
also have a strong voice.
She said frankly that she believed
that everyone should marry and when
the right man comes she will marry
him. Miss Keller was with her life
long teacher, Mrs. John Macy. Those
who saw here were surprised at her
healthy appearance. She is not frag-
lie by any means, but well proper
toned and has ruddy cheeks.
She delights very much in going
about New York. She likes the sub
way, the elevated, the theaters and
the brightness and laughter of the
cafes.

WEST VIRGINIA
TAKES PART IN
/ CAPITAL NEWS

legal mainstay of the organization In
West Virginia, and had charge Of the
first prosecution Of Judge Dayton on
charged. which. after the fullest in
vestigation, failed to be proved to the
satisfaction OF either the subcommit-
tee Of the House Judiciary or the
full committee itself. Upon receipt
of the telegram from their chief the
men who were left here In charge OF
work at this end packed up and de-
parted for Charleston.
Since the present Congress con-
vened these men have been applying
the pressure on members of the
House judiciary committee to get the
Dayton case re-opened, but they made
practically no Roadway. 1t was ap-
parent from the first that the new
committee Of this new congress
showed no inclination to vote to con-
slider the Dayton case again so soon
after 1t was fully considered and in
vestigated by the committee Of the
last Congress. 1t was a foregone
conclusion that sooner or later the
prosecution would realize that there
was nothing doing in the way OF
opening up the Dayton case and
would call 1t off. The end, however,
came sooner than expected.
Whether the prosecution Of Judge
Dayton by the labor unionists is per-
manently closed or not remains to be
seen. That It has been finally and
fully finished so far as this Congress
is concerned-or the present session,
at least-is an opinion that is virtual
ly unanimously expressed by those
who have been in close and intimate
touch with the proceedings.
Announcement was made by the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion today that on February l COM
petitive examination, for men only,
will be held for appointment as In
vestigator in cooperative organiza-
ton in the office of markets and ru-
raj organizations, department OF
agriculture. Tho salary is from
$2,25O to $2,750 a year.
On February 2, a competitive exam
nation will be held TO establish list
OF eligibles for appointment as dep
uty shipping commissioner in the of
fees of the United States shipping
commissioners throughout the United
States at 5000 year.
To fill a vacancy in the navy yard
at Boston an examination will be held
February 2 for physical metallurgist.
The salary is from 81 TO Sc day,

airy Q and tor positions as trained

KINDNESS SAVES MONEY.
Mr.. Karnes of Humane Society Points
Out That it VIII be Money Saved
to Carefully Tend Horses.

.These are the days when humanity
to animals is money in the pockets of
owners of horses as well as contribute
ing to the comfort OF the animals. -
said James Karnes, superintendent of
the Kenosha Humane society, today.
"Unless drivers use the utmost care.
and unless the horses are sharp shod.
horses will slip and fall when glare
of ice freezes over pavements, and
broken legs may result.
eff horse does get down in the
street with ice all about him, do not
let him wear himself out and possibly
hurt himself by struggling to raise him
self to the sound of shouts or the lash
Of whip. Instead, unhitch the horse
from the wagon and lay a blanket
where his feet will strike it when he
attempts to rise and he will be able to
get up with much less danger to his
safety.
Then if the place is particularly
icy and he has big load, put down a
piece of old carpet or blanket brought
for the purpose and let the horse get
his foothold on this when he attempts
to move the load, and it will be per.
fectly astonishing to see how much
more easily he will be able to start
| it,
Another thing that Mr.. Karnes eau.
tions horse owners about in this wealth.
er is in regard to putting them in the
barn.
He says that if their legs are rubbed
down and dried, and the rest of the
body rubbed dry before they are left
in the stall it may make the difference
between a well and a sick horse the
next morning. He recommends rubber
| blankets for horses who must be out in
| the rain in cold weather. These ami
mails are susceptible to cold and to
pneumonia if they are subjected to
lengthy exposure when their bodies are
wet.

TIMLIN ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY
Present Member of the Supreme Court
Announces that He Will Seek a
Ratification

hG-6lGCG1Ous
w. FL. Tim1in Of Milwaukee on Tues
day announced he would be candidate
to succeed himself as associate justice
of the Wisconsin supreme court at the
election next April. He gave out the
following signed statement:
"After making due allowances for
the self-deception common in such cases,
it seems to me there is a practically
unanimous demand that / become a
candidate at the ensuing judicial cleo
tion to succeed myself as associate jus
tice of the supreme court. That is to
say, the demand is as unanimous as
such things ever become. Moved by
grateful appreciation of this mark of
confidence and esteem, I do consent to
become a candidate for that office at
the coming judicial election.
Attorney General w. G. Owen on
Tuesday reiterated his previous state
ment that he would not be candidate
if Justice Timlin sought reelection.
The term is for ten years and the po-
sition pays $1,000 year. Judge Bel
den of Racine has been mentioned as a
candidate.
It is probable that the formal an
nouncement of Justice Timlil that he
will be candidate for reelection will
result in the withdrawal of Judge Bel
den from the race.
