SHIPPING IS TIED UP|RACE FOR JUDGEsHIP
Several Prominent Barristers of Vir-
ginia Are Candidates For Harri-
sons Place.

Richmond, Feb. 17.-Although the
Governors mail has been heavy with
letters of recommendation since it
became known that Judge George NJ
Harrison would retire from the Sn-
preme Court bench on March l, the
great gathering of the clans for the
purpose of impressing the Governor
with the virtues of the several
aspirants for the impending vacancy
will not take place until Monday. BY
that time, Governor Stuart, who is
absent on business in New York, will
be back at his desk.
Private Secretary Forward, yes
terday made engagements for Joseph
A. Glasgow, representing the Au-
gusta bar, and Greenlee D. Letc:ier,
of Lexington, representing the Rock
bridge bar, to meet the Governor at
l o'clock Monday afternoon. Beth
will come with delegations indorsing
Judge Henry W. Holt, of Staunton.
At the same hour, W. S. Copeland,
of Newport News, is scheduled to re-
port with the Endorsement Of Judge
Holt by the citizens and bar of the
peninsula.
In official circles, the belief
strengthened yesterday that the race
has practically narrowed down to
Judge Holt and Richard Evelyn Byrd.
former Speaker of the House OF
Delegates. Nevertheless strong IN
dorsements for Judge T. N. Haas,
of Rockingham, came yesterday from
the bar associations of Rockingham
and Page counties. The bars of Lunen-
berg and Nottoway have given their
Endorsement to Judge R. G. Southall
of Amelia.
The lawyers of Scott county have
ioined in recommending the appoint
ment of Mr.. Byrd, as have also many
prominent men in the business and
political life of the State. Among
these is Delegate R. H. Willis, OF
Roanoke, majority leacer OF the
House of Delegates at the last ses-
sion.
So far, only one Virginia member
Of Congress-Representative Harrl-
sen. of the Seventh District-has
made known any preference Mr..
Harrison has given his Endorsement
to Mr.. Byrd, as has also former Re
James Hay, who is now
, member of the United States Court
of Claims.
The report became current yester-
day that United States Senators Mar
I'm and Swanson, as well as Repre-
sentative Flood, of the Tenth District
are supporting the candidacy OF
1udoe Holt. No expression has come
from Congressman Jones, Glass and
Montague. and it is not believed tha'
tbov will take hand in the contest
Representative Flood is a brother-ln-
law of Mr.. Byrd.

SHORTAGE OF COAL.
Serious Conditions Expected in Capt.
tai City Shortly.

Serious Conditions Expected IN eap'-
tai City Shortly.
Washington is face to face again
with \ serious coal shortage. 1t has
already become acute to many house
holders and owners OF flat buildings.
Inquiry yesterday. however, failed to
confirm the report that many OF the
large office buildings are improperly
heated. At dozen of the biggest
It was said that they were still OBJ
tanning coal, yet only few have any
assurance that they are going 70 con-
tinue to get it.
The small coal dealers also are SUI
fcrinr. Some of them have no coal,
and see no prospect Of getting It..
more fortunate dealers are getting
from 80 to 30 per cent Of their nor
NAL supply. If winte,' has finished
its career the city will ,scape suffer
ing, dealers said. If, or the other
hand. artic weather again invades
Washington, there will be serious
situation.
Failure Of rail lines to make deliv-
cry, and shortage of labor at the
mines, are ascribed as causes for the
shortage There is no promise OF
improvement, and coal men believed
yesterday that any change woulu be
for the worse. "
The governor is getting all the
coal it needs, it was said at the office
of purchasing agents but schools
which have been affected by coal
shortage for months see no relief ir
sight.

BRIDGE UNSAFE.

Aoueduct Declared Apt to Fan any
Time.
The old Aqueduct Bridge spanning
the Potomac at Georgetown Is hkely
to 90 down any minute.
This was the unqualified OPINION
EXPRESSED last night by Lieut.. Col. T.
A. F. F1agler, U. S. A., engineer ofl-
Ger in charge of Washington water
ways.
The peril will be vastly increased,
says Col. Flagler, as soon as the ice
thaws and breaks up. and sweeps
down the river, jamming against the
tottering piers of the antique struc-
ture.
This heightened peril is likely tc
arise before the fall of darkness TO-
night, as the Weather Bureau las;
night. at the end Of a relatively warm
dav announced that it would be still
warmer today.
"Fully year ago." said Col. Flag
ler. 'I reported to the War Depart
ment and to the District Commits
sioners that the bridge was structu
rally weak and unsafe and recon-
mended that it would be advisat.e tC
stop traffic over it:
"The Potomac above the bridge j:
clogged with ice. AS it begins t
thaw the bridge will be likely to g'
down at almost any minute.
GAS soon as this thaw commence
traffic over the bridge, in my opinion
should be stopped, but this is matte
that comes solely under the jurisdic
tion of the District Commissioners.

Lead Prices Soaring

New York, June 15.-War demands,
which, long ago virtually swept the
market bare of spot copper, are rapid
ly diminishing the market supplies OF
silver and lead. Bar silver rose to
n cents an ounce to-day, an advance
of 2 1-8 cents over the price of the
early part of the month and within
two cents of the extreme price OF
last February. Quotations for lead
varied. some producers asking IL IL
cents a pound. the highest price for
80 years, although IL cents was quot
ed by the more extensive dealers.
The entrance of the United States
into the war has given additional inn
petus to the inquiry for all the baser
metals, it is said in trade circles. but
lead has been among the last to feel
the effect of this stimulus.
Demand for ssilver has become
more acute because various foreign
countries which previously contribu-
ted their quota of the metal to the
European markets are no longer oper-
ating their mines. An increased
supply of silver has recently come
out of the Mexican mines but the de-
mand for the metal for war purposes
is still in excess of supply.

EuREMs MAIL SERVICE
Letter From Postal Department
Superintendent Covering This
District That Speaks For
Itself

The SENTINEL recently published
an article showing up the poor mail
service given the people of Eureka,
although the Postal Department was
paying for service on two routes in
order to try and arrange for the de-
livery of the mail from Palisade to
Eureka in from 6 to 8 hours by the
train, as against a 33 hour schedule
by the stage route. While the mails
under this arrangement were ar
irving here an hour or Sc before the
time set by the Postal Department
for the closing of our local post Of
fice-6 o'clock p. mat intervals
they arrived a little later. and the
SENTINEL suggested that these hours
be changed to give the public its mail
without a delay of some 16 hours. as
had been the procedure when the
mail arrived after 5 p. m. The peo-
pie of this community are only served
with a mail three times each week,
and when these mails were still fur
Their delayed in their distribution and
delivery another 16 hours, with two
people employed by the Postal De-
partment to serve this small COM
munity, the SENTINEL gave publicity
to the conditions existing in. our To-
cal post office and suggested that the
Postal Department change the hours
to better accommodate the public.
A marked copy of the SENTINEL con-
tanning this article was sent to the
Second Assistant Postmaster General
at Washington. and the following
letter from the Superintendent OF
the postal division covering this dis
trict makes plain the fact that the
heads of the Postal Department are
not at fault in providing a just and
fair postal service for the people OF
this section.
