BELIEF PREVAILS
JUSTICE DAY WILL
LEAVE HIGH POST
Requirements of New Place
Said to Be Too Heavy for
Continuance.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, Oct. lathe be-
lief prevailed in semi-off1cial circles to-
day that Associate Justice William r.
Day of the United States Supreme
Court will send letter of resignation
to President Harding in the near flu
ture, possibly within the next ten
days.
Justice Day, it was reported, has
definitely made up his mind that his
duties as umpire in the settlement of
war claims with Germany will be of
such magnitude as to require his en-
tire time. The probability that his
work as umpire will necessitate a trip
abroad is said to have influenced him
finally against making an effort to re-
main on the bench while acting in his
new capacity.
