CLASSIC Holds
CHANCE FOR
BENCH

President Coolidse's appointment
of Henry III. Classic to- be : justice
of the District Supreme Court ap.
peared today to have about an even
chance of confirmation by the Sem
ate.
No serious opposition to Classic
developed yesterday in a hearing
before the Senate judiciary subcom-
mittee, to which the appointment
was referred. but The story of his at
tack on another lawyer 10 years
ago seemed to impress at least one
member of the subcommittee that
Classic lacks judicial tempera-
ment.
Recites Old Quarrel
The story was told to the com
mittee by William G. Sullivan, the
attorney whom Classic attacked.
The two had been opposing law
yers in a condemnation case when
Classic enraged, grabbed Sullivan
around the neck and attempted to
throttle him. Classic later apollo
gized after Sullivan had brought
suit.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
subcommittee, indicated that he was
not much impressed by the inn
portance of the 10.year old Incl.
dent.
Senator Neeley of West Virginia,
showed considerable interest, how
ever, and remarked that the story
showed an unjudicial temperament
on Classics part
Several times during the hearing
Borah asked If anyone wanted to
testify about any unprofessional
conduct by Grassie, but no such evi.
dence was offered.
The witnesses supporting Classic
outnumbered those against him two
to one and all the friendly witnesses
lauded his legal ability highly.
Eyesight Raped
The only mention of Classics
career on the Tariff Commission was
made by George C. Sullivan,
brother of the other Sullivan.
Sullivan said that Classics con.
duct then indicated that he lacked
that fine sense of propriety which
Is so essential"
Another objection to Classic
which was mentioned several times
during the hearing, was his defec.
tive eyesight.
Senator Neeley said he had been
Informed that Classic would be un.
able to see a witness from the
judges bench. George Sullivan
testified that the prospective judge
could not see more than four or five
feet in front of him

Knockout Ended Duel
Between Rival Hares

An English naturalist describes a
duel which he witnessed in the NOON
light between two hares, the cause
OF their dissension being a third,
which was female that went on nib
bling grass during the encounter with
out paying the least attention to the
contest. The battlers were facing each
other in a real fighting attitude, their
forepaws held in front looking like
human lists Standing on their launch
es these two fighters went all out.
They boxed in fine style, their little
fists" darling in and out like flashes.
Some blows were cleverly parted,
others went we'll home, and as they
fought footwork was not absent, for
they circled round, but always faced
each other. One lost his balance and
sprang lightly aside, to be instantly
followed up, and the punching was re-
newed. Apart from the soft noise of
the blows going home there was no
sound. The end came quickly. It
was almost a knockout, but am afraid
our rules would have put it down as
a foul. One hare slipped down, land
ed on all four feet, and quick as light
ming his opponent turned and gave
him kick that landed him many
yards away.

This Fortune Teller
Out of the Ordinary

"Of course | don't believe in fortune
tellers and all that bunk but | went
to him just out of curiosity. Betty
swears by him. She says he told her
things about herself that even she
didn't know. SO / went to him Just
out of curiosity. Well, my dear, he
said | had the most extraordinary
crystal. He'd never seen a crystal as
extraordinary as mine He said my
aura just glistened with fame and for
tune. He said that | would make
wonderful writer. Yes, he said he saw
pens in my crystal And I'm going to
travel. Maybe not this year but next
year or the year after. He didn't say
exactly where | was going but he dis
tinctly saw train or boat In my
crystal. And listen to this, DEAR He
said | was going to marry tallish,
sort of dark man with grayish- brown
eyes. Isn't that a perfect description
of Fred? He isn't exactly tall, but he
is more dark than light and his eyes
are more gray than blue. I'm sure he
means Fred. He said we'd be mar
ried next summer or the winter after
that. It's really quite remarkable the
things he tells you. OF course, I don't
really believe in fortune tellers and
l know it's all foolish, but he's awfully
good and you must go to him-just
out of curiosity.-Kansas City Times.

Black Cats and Evil
Linked in All Ages

That verdict rendered against q
Lynn (Mass.) woman charged, among
other things, with having undertaken
by her formulas "to still crying babies
and fighting cats with equal ease,"
calls up chapter in the lore Of pop
ular beliefs to which every age con-
tributes new material. And for sheer
interest it is the pugilistic felines, not
the lachrymose infants, which take the
cake. That black cats portend evil is
delusion that goes back to the most
ancient times; so, white or black, they
have everywhere been the material for
all sorts of superstitions. In the Or
lent cats have knowledge of the fu-
ture ascribed to them, along with a
sensitiveness which can penetrate in
to things dark for the eye of man.
When the cat tears at cushions or car
pets it is believed to be raising the
wind. There is sure to be changing
weather if it sneezes, and a frost may
be looked for when the animal sits
with its back to the fire.
