MAY TENDER JUOGESH|P

Dean al Washington and Lee Law
school Mentioned As Probable Sue
tr~~or TO Judge Harrison
HIS APPOINTMENT WOULD

Although He Notified Governor stuart
several Days Ago He Would Not
he Candidate. 1t Is Believed Seat
win BE offered Him

That Martin r, Burks. lean OF the
law school of Washington and Lee
university. may he rendered the seat
on the supreme court of appeals to
be made vacant by the retirement OF
Judge G. NJ, Harrison on March /
was mentioned in political circles yes
terday. Nothing TO indicate this has
come from Governor Stuart. and when
asked as to the Developments in the
pending appointment. he said there
were no new turns.
Although the governor has main
tained a sphinx-like silence regarding
the contest for the seat on the SUI
pren.e bench. and consequently no
one knows just how he is leaning,
those who breathe the political at
mosphere consta ntly say that the con-
test has narrowed down to one point.
Either Richard Evelyn Byrd. of Win
chester. who has been strongly sup
ported in the contest. will be named
TO succeed Judge Harrison. or Cover
nor Stuart will tender the place to
Mr.. Burks
Did Not Want once
Several days ago Mr.. Burks. through
Judge Hutton and Attorney s. A. An
derson. notified Governor Stuart that
he did not wish In enter the race for
the judgeship. Since then he has been
busiIy engaged with the code revision
commission. of which he Is mem
ber and has taken no part whatever
in the contest.
MIR. Burks has long been regarded
as a lawyer OF high attainment and
has been mentioned as excellent ma
terial for the supreme bench, 1t is
understood that he is sixty-siX years
old, and on that account would have
only four years in which 10 serve on
the bench II he would retire at sew
enty as allowed by the pension stat
ute. He is, however. a man OF con-
siderable physical activity. and would
be taken to be much younger than
he actually is.
4 scholar on the Bench.
The appointment of Mr.. .Burks TO
the supreme bench would meet with
great favor by those who have long
contended that the court needed the
service of an academic lawyer. When
Professor W. Minor Lille, OF the Uni
versitv OF Virginia. was candidate
for the bench in 1915 and was de-
tea.ed bv Judge +. W. Sims. his can
didacy was supported by those who
wanted to see scholar on the bench.
The candidacy OF Mr.. Lille IN the pres
ept fight could not be considered on
account of the geographical sections
of the state.
