proximately sixty cases. Included
in this docket are two murder
cases.
The criminal docket also CON.
tains numerous cases Of violation
Of the liquor laws.
Two hundred citizens and tax
payers are included in the list
from which the. grand jurors and
members of the petit juries are
chosen. This list is now being
selected in q conference between
Judge Fillmore Beall, Clerk Of the
Court s. D. Hall and members OF
the bar. These Jurors, In pur,
suance Of recent act of the Mary.

Whether any women will be selected
remains to be seen. When zoe
citizens and many others interested
in the proceedings OF the court
assemble at the county seat April
Q, the proverbial political bee is
going to buzz and buzz lively.
On account of the fact that the
political complexion of the seventh
judicial circuit is decidedly repub
lican. the indications point to q
lively contest for nominations
among aspirants belonging to the
grand old party. Three judges are

extended by legislative enactment
so as to make the election Of their
successors occur this fall. These
judges are elected for a term OF
fifteen years each. They receive
$4,000 per year and when they
reach the age of seventy are re
tired on two-thirds pay.
May Become Judge.
Much has been said concerning the
desire of Congressman Sydney E
Mudd, Of La Plata, Charles county
who represents the fifth Congress
siona1 district of Maryland, to be
come q judge of the seventh judi
| cial circuit. The writer happens t.
know that the Congressman has
been far from a well man for two
or three years and that he is now
in California seeking to recuperatt
his shattered health. So far as Il
known no definite statement has
been made by the Congressman con
corning his candidacy for nomina
ton for judge. It Is reasonable Il
assume that Mr.. Mudd would mo-
object to adjoining the ermine fol
q continuous service of fifteeY
years in preference to representing
the people OF the fifth Congress
sional district which involves {
strenuous campaign every tw1
years to hold his seat in Congress
But should Congressman Mud,
decide to reIinquish his ambition t
further serve the people OF the FiftI
Maryland district and become q car
didate for judicial honors. he is &c
ing to have some opposition. Thi
opposition will come from not onl

German reports, on the contrary, in

have been heart and soul with their

Officials here have been at a loss
to understand repeated declarations
from French official sources that no
mediation will be accepted from
America at this time. Not since M.
Poincare rejected Mr.. Hughes sug-
gestion of an international economic
commission to fix Germany's ability

the slightest suggestion on the part
Of this Government of wish to me-

Rhineland and Ruhr blockade more

is intimated that the first move
toward mediation is much more
likely to emanate from that quarter.

It is understood, however, that a
delegation representing American
concerns whose interests have been
adversely affected by tariff restric-
ton imposed by the French and
Belgians In the occupied districts,
is about to make representations to
the State Department in this con-

representations will doubtless de-
