TAFT SUGGESTED
AS Chief JUSTICE
OF UNITED STATES
NO DEFINITE INDICATION
Secretary Hughes Might Be
Favorably Considered for the
Place Were it Not For the
Fact That He is Busy With
Foreign Policy of the Coun-
try.

Washington, May 19.-The choice
of a successor to Edward Douglas
White as chief justice of the United
States was one Of the most widely
discussed matters in the capitol to-
day.
Although the speculation centered
chiefly about the name of former
President Mr.. Howard Taft there
were many indications that President
Harding was far from a decision in
the matter.
One of the first suggestions to
come to the surface in private dis
cussion was among members of Sen
himself by insisting when he was the
years should be appointed chief JUS
tice.
Another name suggested is that of
Secretary Hughes of the State de-
partment a member of the court un-
til he retired in 1916 to accept the
Republican nomination for president.
Since Mr.. Hughes selection for the
stat port folio the story has persist
ed that he might become head of the
court in case of a vacancy but there
has never been any tangible evidence
of the truth of the story.
One circumstance which now gen.
orally is suggested as a barrier is the
prominent part already assume by
Hughes as secretary of state in view
of the important phases through
which this country's relation to for
eign affairs are now passing. There is
the general inclination not to change
secretary of state as the new admin
| istration is finding it's way in the
development of it's foreign policy.

A Frontier LINE
German Troops Will Not Be
Tolerated in Silesia by
France.

Paris, May 19.-France insists on
the assistance of the Supreme Coun-
Gil in drawing the frontier line be-
tween Germany and Poland in upper
Silesia Premier BRAND declared last
night upon receiving newspaper cor
respondents.
He reiterated the statement he
made to newspaper men last Sat
urday when answering address of
Prime Minister Lloyd George before
the House of Commons on Friday
he declared invasion of Silesia by
German troops would not be toler-
ated by France.
Premier BRAND said he did not
see the desirability of meeting Lloyd
George before all documents relating
to the Silesian problem had been re-
ceived by the inter-allied commission
at Oppeln.
Brands statement may have been
slicited by declarations made by
Lloyd George in London yesterday
in which he asserted the Silesian
question must be settled by the allies
and not by Adelbert Korfanty Polish
insurgent leader who recently has
taken over virtually all of upper Sill

OVER EDLSON'S QUESTIONS

Holyoke, Mass, May 17.--Thomas
Edison may have thought that his
QUESTIONABLE written for college men

ed to the police FOR. protection. He
said he had a book, valued at ST.
OOO, 900 in which he had written the
answers to Edison's queries; and that
