I WASHINGTON. Ian. ~ - The
Nomination of Senator Kenyon to-day
TO the Federal Bench came rs u sur
prise. 1t was known that the Iowa
Senator had been offered an app, Mt
ment as Federal Judge IN his own
State some months ago, tut at that
time he declined. II was bcIl"VCu that
this definitely closed the matter, but
1t develops that the President had
never given up hope Of inducing him
to take a place on the bench lie WAS
nominated to-day as Judge OF the
Eighth judicial Circuit and couiirmod
by unanimous consent in open session
of the Senate, which is frequently
done where Senators are nominated
for Presidential appointments,
The appointment removes the man
usually considered the head of the
farm bloc in the Senate, and oLc Of
the most militant insurgents on the
Republican side. Kenyon has been in
the Senate since 1911. He came into
prominence i'll the successful fight ho
made to oust William Lorimer Of Hi
nois from the Senate ten years ago
when fraud was proved in his Glec-
Con. Kenyon has never been amen
able to party discipline where prin
ciples were involved, and he has been
recognized as one of the big minds
of the Senate.
1t has been his ambition for d life
time to go on the Federal Bench, his
friends say. AS young man he
made a reputation in Iowa as Judge
of one of the inferior courts.
The real significance of the ap-
pointment. in view of the lack Of
harmony between Kenyon and the
Administration, is the desire of the
President to weed out the recalcitrant
Senators and restore a semblanCe of
Old Guard control of the Republican
side.
Kenyon would not place himself
under the imputation of quitting the
Eewberry fight for Federal appoint
ment, and before casting his vote
against Newberry, lie delivered ii
scathing Indictment of the Repuhb-
can majority which he predicted
would seat the Michigan Senator.
AFTER to-day" he said with scorn,
mo one can ever lower the dignity
of the Senate"
His friends believe that Kenyon y
unwillingness to serve in body
whero a majority of his own party
voted for whitewash such as was
given Newberry caused him to ra-
consider his refusal Of the Federal
judicial appointment.
The President also made oVertures
TO Senator Borah, another thorn in
the side of the Republican majority,
a short time ago, it is learned, offer
ing, according to one report, to put
q, measures in the hands
- of Borah and thus give him the off,
cial leadership on the Republican side.
"You have a great personal follow
ing in the country" the President is
reported to have said to Borah,
whereupon the Idaho insurgcnt re-
piled:
Eyes, and it is precisely because J
pursue an independent course and
hold aloof from commitments OF this
kind that have following"
This terminated the interview.
Many "regulars' on the Republican
side are jubilant over Kenyon's reSiG
nation, as they believe it il the be-
ginning of the end of the farm bloc
which has been 80 militant in the
Senate in blocking Administration
policies.

Miss Wilbur was a local taxi
driver until this year, the Chief Of
Police DENIES refused TO sign her
chauffeur's license. She, however,
was determined 10 drive, and
started a free taxi service. How
ever, when finding this a failure.
she moved to ST. Johns and giving
that place as her residence, secured
a chauffeur's license from the con-
stable.
Miss Wilbur operated a taxi
there but a few days when she re-
turned 10 her home, at Owosso,
and resumed operations.
She was at once reported 10 the
chief of police OF Owosso, and
later to the secretary Of state.

panied by a special officer We'd

The secretary in the meantime
called up the constable at St.
Johns and obtained Miss Wilbur's
statements, that she made to OBJ
tain a chauffeur's license in that
village. Upon Miss Wilbur's and
the officers return TO the secre-
tary Of states office, Mr.. DeLand
informed her that her license must
be returned and that its record
would be stricken from the books
of the state. Because of the false
