WASHING GTON, Feb. 26.--Politi- < : sli Isgilttfisigg Btitt'sa' itself in the unexpected when it played it's spot illumination on Henry L. Stimson as possible dean of the Hoover cab inet.
 Lawyer, soldier, War Secretary, revolution subduer and insular chief executive, the New Yorker has a wide range of public activities and accomplishments to his CT d t. There is little about his record, however, to suggest the state de- partment portfolio as his destiny
 Yet there is this to be said of Henry Stimson. Any man who could plunge into New York City life in 1901 as a $15 law clerk and emerge a decade later as Secretary of War, surrendering lucrative private practice, is a man to be reckoned with all the time.
 Between times, the quiet man. nered, scholarly looking Stimson had developed his law clerkship into membership in the firm of Root & Clarke, headed by Elihu Root. He had become a Federal District Attorney and driven to ruthless conclusion such widely re- membered cases as the sugar re- bate trials and the Morse case.
 He had been Republican nomi- nee for Governor and had been beaten by Dix, Theodore Roosevelt figuring in that campaign. He had met and won the respect of Taft, which brought him the War portfolio in 1911.
 Disappears
 To a large degree, Stimson dis appeared from the theatre of pub lie events when his Cabinet serv- ice ended. His largest public ef- fort nationally in this period was touring the middle west in. behalf of the military and naval prepared ness campaign of 1916.
 Stimson said of himself, wher the United States entered the war that having talked such lot about battle, he ought to do g little fighting. He tried to, as ar enlisted man. But a former War Secretary was denied admission to the ranks as too old. That drove him to a commission as colonel o1 an artillery regiment, and thus ne served in France.
 In Lime Light
 The determination of President Coolidge to send Stimson to settle the Nicaraguan row in 1927 was en- tirely unexpected. It has never been disclosed just how his name came up in connection with Nica- ragua.
 Having been assigned the Gen. tral American job, however, Stim- son moved with speed and ended the civil war within week. Yet that was not a diplomatic tri- umph, administration critics in the Senate have held Stimson told both sides to stop fighting and disarm, pending an American SUI peryised presidential election. And to back that up, he told the liber- als to take their choice, disarm ol be tsisarmed by Uncle Sans Ma

LAWYERS ASPIRE
TO SEATSAT HAGUE
Election of Legal Advisers of
Foreign Offices to World
Court Bench Discussed. !.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
GENEVA, March 22.-There was some
concern in League OF Nations circles
today as to whether legal advisers OF
foreign Offices should be elected to the
bench of the World Court.
It was believed here that Sir Cecil
Hurst of England, Henri Fromageot OF
France and Frederic Gaus of Germany.
juridical counselors to their respective
governments, all aspire to Hague judge
ships.
The prevailing view is that their gov
eminent connections should not debar
their election to the court, although
1t Is admitted that the choice of three
men who helped draft the Locarno
treaty might create the impression
among smaller powers that there was
too pronounced greater power" gov
ernmental tinge to the World Court.
Although none OF the three nave been
judges the opinion at Geneva is that
all are qualified to serve on the bench
on account Of their exceptional knowl-
edge of international law.
Inasmuch as Viscount Finlay of Eng
land and DR.. Andre Weiss Of France,
both Judges on the World Court bench,
died recently the League Assembly and
Council in September must elect their
successors.
The League today asked that all ma
tional groups make nominations. IL Is
believed the English and French Will
submit Sir Cecil and M. Fromageot
Herr Gaus Is expected to be q candidate
when the new election OF the entire
bench occurs In 1890.

scendant of Judge Samuel Hunting ton, . former governor of Connecti- cut and . signer of the Declaration of Independence.
 Walter Huntington was . hand home young man known aa the Sheik" In his high school days. At the time of his death, As was . junior at Harvard universtty-a gay. popular boy. not given to despon- dency, and only recently iuterested in girls.
 He came home from Harvard to spend . few days. taking train from Cambridge on Saturday after noon. His family reports that he did not arrive home until Monday. however. and Sunday is unaccounted for.
 On Tuesday evening, he left his home after 8 dinner for . walk with his friend. Burdett Williams. According to Williams, they strolled along the village. stopped at ! store and bought some candy and cigar cites. and Williams left Huntington at his home about l0:3o.
 Was Called From Home
 From this time on. the mystery begins and the stories differ. His mother says he called to her. sayinE: -"I am going out for . minute. to the drug store. I have just had . telephone call" She said she thought nothing of 1t and went to bed. The next morning his body. tidily ar- ranged. was found at 6:30 by farm laborer in . swampy field along the village 'lover's lane"
 His topcoat was spattered with blood. A bullet from .s2 calibre gun had entered the left temple and with no powder burns. Huntington was right-handed. The elected shell was found IF inches from his head, but most painstaking search failed to reveal the weapon.
 A woman's handkerchief. satur- ated with blood, was found in the youths pocket. Apparently death had not come immediately. and he or someone else had used it to wipe away the blood.
 Huntington had not been robbed. Cigarette stubs near the body furnished sketchy clue. Two brands were represented; one bore the finger prints of the dead man, the other those of a girl whose identity may be known to police. Despite all of these indications oi murder. authorities at first chung tc the theory of suicide. Later it wal hinted that this was done to assuaEs the fears of suspects.
 The family insisted they had gone to bed the night of the murder, and had heard nothing. Neighbors tell of four figures silhouetted on the Huntington porch the night of the murder-long after the family had retired. They tell of a girls voice, crying hysterically.

FEAR MISSISSIPPI
 BREAkLEVEES
Glsat AnIistJ Pdt h ksahdy
 --KMlsd Appsls .Sds

Memphis, Tenn. May c2.-uS@ Greatest anxiety over possible levee breaks in the Mississippi river and its tributaries today was felt at Hickman, Ky, and Nounds Land- ing, Miss. Government and civil en- gineers fought to hold the streams back from home and farm lands.
 Workers at Hickman tried to solve | peculiar problem by filling . zap between an old and new levee with water from the stream they wers fighting. They planned to form . cushion" of water between the two levee lines, increasing the chance that the river would be de- feated.
 Several river commission boats stood by ready to aid if the levee should % out and in any case to provide shelter and supplies for the men working there.
 The memory of. the disastrous break in 1s57 at Mounds Landing caused those in charge of the levees to place every man available at work. They had . promise from Washington that federal ruling preventing the employment of state convicts on the levees would be sus- pended if m emergency of sum- ct4nt proportions arose. River com snissaon engineers insisted that such aa emergency did not exist. A break at Mounds Levee probably would flood 0rssnville and the delta farm lands of that section.
 Forecasters at New Orleans pre- dicted rising stages for the lower Mississippi in June. The forecasts in- creased the crests- expected from Watcher to the Gulf. The predicted New Orleans stage was between :0.s and 2l.6 feet.
 Tho tributary Red river. the pre- dictiens said, would rise below Shreveport until the end of the month. The Red rtver has flooded approximately 10000 acres in Ar- kansas, doing the mest of its dam age in Little River, Hcmpstead and Miller counties. The Bankhead high way was under water near Texarkana, where the river has ceased its rise.
 Another tributary. the always troubleeome St. Francis again threatened in Missouri. The passage of two days with no break since the crevasss near Kennett led engineers to believe that further danger would be averted unless new rises fore cast prove too much for the badly strained levees. E6tinates of the ares under water along the St. Francis varied from 2S.ooo to 10000 acres.

ture when 1t WAS alleged that Ken- neiy and Huntington had been enemies and that Remedy had been forbidden to enter the house while Huntington was at home. but that while he was at school Kennelly's auto frequently was parked in front of the Huntington home. and that he had the freedom of the house.
 Investigation disclosed that the dead mans elder brother also had quarreled often and heatediy with Walter. Clark Huntington was re- vealed n . rather strange youth. who seldom stirred from the house, and who spent his time sewing. and often was seen cooking and engaging in domestic pursuits that usually fall to women.
 Then came tales of young Hunt inEton's recent conversion to the cult Of Buchmanism and that he had. with other young men and women, confessed various sex ex- periences. There were hints that the confessionals had been too realistic to suit jealous husbands and male l relatives of the women converts. Thus, jealousy might have entered as a motive for the slaying. Pas sionate unsigned letters from . girl were found in his possession.
 His Family Is Secludcd
 Imemdiately after Huntihgtons death, his sister and his brother mo- tored to Harvard and removed all his belongings. The family had made themselves inaccessible, and have refused to see anyone except detectives. They stick to their story that they heard nothing on the night of the boys death. Claire Kennedy has been unable to prove his alibi that he was in bed in Windsor at the time the shot was fired.
 Meanwhile, the whole town h wild with excitement. At this slight in- sight into the home life of . family that has always been aloof from the townspeople, and independent be- cause of it's wealth and position, they are consumed with a desire for more revelations. and. particularly, jus l tice,

 A death has occurred here that is unexplained. Walter Huntington, Harvard student and son of q wealthy, aristocratic family. was shot and killed. He may conceiva- bly have died by his own hand, but he almost certainly was murdered.

Yet the motive is shrouded in a con- fusion of other mysterious elements that involve strange feuds. a hidden domestic drama, religious cult. mysterious visitors and neurotic types that would furnish a study for Freud.
