KLETT DIDN'T WANT IT

Senator George P. Mclean has let tt he known that his action in reeom- .saending that Major John Buckley Of Union be appointed U. s. attorney for the Connecticut district came after he had received the assurance of George W. Klett of New Britain that he was not a candidate for the position and had not been esndi- date for more than year" - From this 1t is clear that klett -didn't want the position he once was ,crediting with desiring and 1t there fore went to Buckley, 1t being assum- cd that the latter will be confirmed by the president.
 Buckley's public life dates from 1909. when he was elected to the Aeuse of representatives and was the youngest member in it. He be- ran ''rising'' in influence and prestige aad became protege of J. Henry Roraback, organization leader. He was chairman of the house judiciary committee in the last session of the legislature, this being regarded as embodying the leadership of the house.
 <, Klett, a member of the Republican 1tate committee. lives in a city that formerly was regarded as safely Re- -publican by to 1: but twice in suc-
 cession 1t has elected Mayor Paon- sessa, running on the Democratic tic- -ket. This was no fault of Klett's and
 in spite of the turn of the political wheel it is stated in organization cir
 cles that he could have obtained the
 sppcsntment as federal attorney had
 he wished 1t. and had he not been
 opposed by Alcorn.
 Being federal attorney in the state is an honor. but private law practice
 appears to be more important even to those who are thus singled out. Major Buckley states that he will
 continue his private law practice ras a mode of bringing home the
 bacon it's more reliable than depend- ing upon a political appointment.

MARS ATMOSPHERE
 IS MUCH LIGHTER
Could Not Support Such Life as
 We Have
Rv The Associated Press.

By The Associated fress'
 Bourges, France, Aug. 2e. - The air of Mars is altogether too light and too rare to support such animal life as we have on the earth, the Rev. Thomas Moreux, director of the Bourgcs Observatory, declared to- day, reporting on observations or the nlanet he had made on Saturday through his telescope Of S2o oiame- ters. .....-
 Conditions for his observation were fairly good, he said, and his we" was better than any attained durins the recent observations by British astronomers. It also was apparent. ly more satisfactory than the report ed observations of other FEench as- tronomers who had been watching the planet during the period of It's relative nearness to the earth.
 Marvellous Vision Obtained
 Rev. Moreux asserted that his vis- ion of Mars on Saturday had been marvellous but added that climatic conditions on the planet produced haze which had obscured many well known typographical features ai- though in general permitting good sight of the planets outline as II had already been reported by preVi- ous observers.
 What the eye can affirm as a re- suit of the observations" the as- tronomer continued. lis that the layer of air surrounding the planet Is highly rarefied and that It could not support highly organized anl- nal life such as dogs or even mice.
 "If there are animals there, they must be a very low state of litts me vegetation there must resemble our moss and lichen."
 Rev. Moreux said the weather on Mars, where spring is now at Us height. is as had as that on earth and that the Martions if they exist will have the same cold and nasty summer which the inhabitants Of the earth have endured this year. tThis obviously refers to this summer Tn France.)
 Temperature G5 or 70 Above He added that he wanted to cor rect some erroneous comments on the probable temperature there Tor atmospheric conditions. declaring:
 Although tho thermometer on Mars might register about } degrees above zero Fahrenheit In the shade vet fully exposed to the sun it prob ably would show something like "a or 70 degrees above zero and wonlh be favorable 10 a vegetation which dreu its moisture only from the at- mosphere."
