herself. To all intents and purposes,

TAFT MAY Be
Chief JUSTICE
Former President Mentioned to
Succeed Edward Douglass
White-0ther Possibilities.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.
International News Service.


For the first time in eleven years
the great office of the Chief Justice
ship Of the United States Supreme
Court stood vacant today.
The death of Edward Douglass
White, the venerable Chief, who has
presided over the court since 1910,
brought to the surface today the un-
dercurrent of talk ana speculation
that has been going on in Washing
ton for weeks as to his possible sue
cessor.
TAFT MAY BE SUCCESSOR.
The name most frequently heard in
connection with the succession is that
of william Howard Taft, who as
President in 1910 elevated Justice
Whitesto the chiefship. Long before
the death of the venerable jurist J..
was widely reported that he had in
tended resigning in order to pave thu
way for the appointment of Mr.. Taft
who had so signally honored him in
1910. Whether these reports werc
true probably will never be known
now. ~.
fTlenuS OF the IOTIneF fTcslueUt
have represented him as being de-
sirous of bench appointment The
former President has had a long and
distinguished legal career. as well Ms
a political career, and there is ne
public office to which he can aspire
with the dignity that becomes u
former President, except that of the
bench. Close friends of the former
President are authority for the state
ment that, tired of the game OF
partisan politics and having nothing
to look forward to, Mr.. Taft is now
willing to retire to the quiet dignity
OF the bench to view from that Sc
cluded sanctuary the years that re-
main to him.
HUGHES A POSSIBILITY.
During the Harding Cabinet picking
days IL was generally reported that
Charles Evans Hughes now the Sccre-
tary of State, was a candidate for
the Supreme Bench instead of the
Cabinet. 1t was also widely report
cd that even should Governor Hughes
accept Cabinet post, IL W. m'I be
with the understanding that he
would relinquish IL at the frs. va
cancy on the bench.
This talk. however. has almost en-
tirely disappeared since Mr.. Hughes
entered the Government service again
and became SO immersed In the Inn
portant duties OF the State Depart
ment. II Is generally believed M
Washington that Secretary Hughes
will continue to handle the foreign
arairs OF the administration.
Since 1915 the Supreme Court has
been composed of Ave Republicans
and four Democrats. The death Of
Chief Justice White, a southern Dem
ocrat, reduces the Democratic rep
resentatiop to three, and this fact
is regarded as the most potent factor
against the selection OF Mr.. Taft to
NIL the vacancy, as bis appointment
would give the Republicans two
to one representation.
Other names heard today In con-
nection with the vacancy now exist
ing included that of former Sena tor
George Sutherland OF Utah. Republi-
can, who was one of Mr.. Hardings
few really close advisers during the
campaign. and Senator John Knight
Shields. Democrat of Tennessee.

PARIS, May 10 "A bitter attack
was launched against the BRAND

LLOYD GEORGE BLAMED.
Opinion was advanced in parliamen-
tary circles that Lloyd George de-
liberately put the Franco British al
lance in the balance. believing that
Premier BRAND would not dare to
risk a complete rupture. because of
{ the situation in Germany and believ-
ing that the French prime minister
would back down.
The French foreign office confirms
reports that members OF the German
Reichswehr have been captured by Po-
lish insurgents near kandrzyn. French
officials declared that these captures
proved that German troops continue
to enter upper Silesia." The officials
refused to say what, IL any action,
France would take in retaliation.

This is the morning after. The

owe one hundred and forty times

fence of other tourist sections is that
the best time to work for summer
tourist business is during the preced-
ing winter. And our best advertise
ment at all times is to tell the truth
about the interesting things we are
doing as we'll as about the interest
ing things to be seen. Not all tour
lists are primarily sight-seers. Many
of them will become citizens and
home-makers. Properly correlated
and harmonious effort by our diff

lines will accomplish much that is de-
sirable."
