Appointment in Attorney
Generals Place
MUST GET NEW MAN

pointed to the court from the At
.torney Generalship q years ago by
GPresident Mckinley.
While Mr.. Stone will not leave
the Department of Justice until his
nomination is confirmed by the
Senate, usually in such cases mat
ter of routine, thought must be
given Immediately by Mr.. Coolidge
to the appointment of successor.
All indications of an official nature

any preliminary conclusion but i'm
mediately after the new appointment
of Mr.. Stone was announced, a dozen
names were being mentioned in con-
nection' with the office.
Among these were some of those
mentioned at the time Mr.. Coolidge
was seeking a successor to Mr..
Daugherty, including Arthur Rugg,
chief justice of the Massachusetts
supreme court; Judge Frank S.
Dietrich of Idaho and Charles b.
Warren, former ambassador to Jap
an, and joint head Of the special
American commission to Mexico.
The immediate speculation also
included the possibility of James
M. Beck, now solicitor-general, ard
who will become acting Attorney
General on the retirement of Mr..
Stone and Of the transfer of Curtis
d. Wilbur, former chief justice Of
1 the supreme court of California,
from the Secretaryship of the Navy
to the Department Of Justice.

share with Mrs. Ross the distinction

North Dakotas biennial session of the legislature opened
today high in the state capitol and will continue for
60 days, the legislature adournng March 6.
The 10th Legislative assembly got under way with the
future conjecture-with much talk of harmony
all sides and little idea of just what may develop in the
sion.
Control of the House apparently rested with the Nom
parsans, with the Independents having paper majority
of in the Senate and Governor Soe holding veto
the session. There is possibility of duplication of

considerable wrangng and passage of the ewest number
