NEW JUDGES UP TO STATE
SENATE TO CONVENE JUNE 27
GOVERNOR DENNEY ISSUES
PROCLAMATION FOR SESSION
Senator Josiah o. WOlcOtt Will be
Considered for Chancellor Despite
The Opposition Aroused


The State Senate will convene in
special session at 1890 o'clock on
Monday, June 27, to act on confrma-
tion of Governor Denney's judiciary
appointments and any other appoint
ments made by him since the Legisla-
ture adjourned. The proclamation
calling the special session of the Sen
ate which has been issued by the gov
enor explains the purpose as follows:
"To confirm appointments which will
be made to the Office of the chancellor,
chief justice and associate judges,
which are vacant, and also to confirm
other appointments made by me since
the General Assembly adjourned on
May 1, A. D., 1927
Whether or not Governor Denney
will send to the Senate on June 2T
the same names for the judiciary as
he stated in May he would appoint
has not been intimated by the COVER
nor, so far as can be learned. Those
whom he announced in May he would
appoint are:
Chief Justice, James Pennewill, re-
appointed.
Chancellor, United States Senator
Josiah Wolcott, to succeed Chancellor
Charles M. Curtis.
Associate Justice, Kent county, Will
liam Watson Harrington, to succeed
William H. Boyce.
Associate Justice, Sussex county
Smyrna times., 1921-06-22

Charles Sudler Richards, to succeed
Henry c. Conrad.
The terms of Judges Herbert L.
Rice and I. Bayard Heisel do not ex-
pire at this time.
Chancellor Curtis when asked
whether he would continue to perform
the duties of his office until his sue
.eessor is duly qualified, the chancellor
made the following statement:
"Some of the powers and duties of
the Chancellor are to grant immediate
relief to protect, temporarily at least,
right which would otherwise be lost,
and some of these powers cannot be
exercised by any other judicial officer
in this State or elsewhere. Yesterday
such a case was presented, and an
other less urgent, but one where delay
may cause loss of rights or remedy,
has been begun today.
"It is, therefore, of the highest i'm
portance that the office of Chancellor
should continue to function, a condi-
tion which does not necessarily exist
as to the judges of the other courts.
After carefully considering the pro-
visions of the constitution, including
the amendment adopted at the last
regular session Of the General Assem-
bly,, have decided, on my own re-
sonsibility entirely, that though my
term has expired l still hold, under
the Constitution, my Office until my
successor shall be duly qualified; but
1 shall act only in cases where there
is urgent need of relief, such as by in
| junction, receiverships, and the like
before the Senate shall convene. By
so doing 1 believe 1 am acting for the
best interests of the State, and will
not be stepping beyond the limitations
of the Constitution as reasonably con
strued."
Chief Justice Pennewill and judge
Boyce when seen in Dover Thusrda!
said they prefer not to express an!
lopinion as to their judicial status.

RESORT Is CLOSED
BY JUSTICE WRIT:
NO PROSECUTIONS

The alleged disorderly house at
302 Third avenue, Moline. was
practically cleaned up Saturday
afternoon by a constable armed
with . justice court writ. When
this fact was learned by the police
prosecution in the case against A.
s. johnson and six others was
dropped.
This is the place where Sylves-
ter Smith, Rock Island negro, was
shot by policeman as he was
leaping from q second-story win
dow last Friday night. Smith was
placed under arrest charged with
burglary, but it is probable that
the case will be dropped, as the po-
lice are inclined to believe the ne
gro's story regarding the place.
The execution at the hands Of
the constable was caused by john
sons failure to pay a debt. The
execution left him practically strip
ped Of his belongings and 1t is be-
lieved by the police that he will
leave Moline. His charge Of being
a keeper Of q disorderly house still
stands, but has been continued for
ten days. johnson was released
ON his own recognizance.

Chicago, Feb. Z. - Wheat prices
declined today after . show Of
frmness from the outset Initial
appearance Of strength was due to
active buying on the part Of = house
with norfhWestern connections, but
when this demand was satisfied the
market underwent . material sag.

tition from Argentina, Australia
and India export sales could no
longer be depended upon for the
maintenance Of domestic values.
Opening prices, which varied from
unchanged figures to lie higher,
with March 1.57A to LIS, and May
1.47A to 1.4s, were followed by
slight further gains and then by .
setback all around to well below
Saturdays finish.
Rallies failed to last. 1t was
said India sold 100000 Bushels to
Italy cheaper than the wheat could
be obtained I'M the United States.
Predictions Of business with
Greece proved mythical. The close
was unsettled, 2hc to- 2xc net

$1.54X, and May $1.44A to $1.45.

ply total led later to additional
weakness. The close was nervous.
