HOOVER ACTS SOON
ON SANFORD POST
Expected to Name Successor
to Bench Within Two or
Three Weeks.

There is reason to feel that Presi-
dent Hoover will not wait for the ex-
piration of the 80 days period of off,
cial mourning for the late William
Howard Taft, to appoint a successor
to the late Justice Edward Terry San
ford of the United States Supreme
Court.
1t is known that the President will
give his attention to this important
judicial appointment within the next
day or so, and although he has no in
tention to act in any haste, it is be-
lieved he win reach decision and will
be in a position to announce his APP
pointment to this high court within the
next two or three weeks.
WIN Confer With Hughes.
The Presidents first step in this con-
nection will be to confer with Charles
Evans Hughes, the new Chief Justice,
who returned to Washington today from
Justice Sanford's funeral in Knoxville,
Tenn, and with Attorney General
Mitchell. The latter has been confined
in GARFIELD Hospital for the past few
days because of trouble with his right
IOOJs Dub IlC TCluIucu 10 Ills nome To-
day and 1t is understood that he is
scheduled for a conference with Mr..
Hoover at the White House tonight or
tomorrow morning.
More than unusual interest is mani
Testing itself already in the filling of
this place. Already there is some
speculation as to the Presidents posi-
BILE selection. Some of this speculation
centerS about the question as to whether
the President will want liberal rather
than q so-called conservative and
whether he will give the place to a
Democrat and whether he will seek
some one from the South in order that
that section will not lose representation
by the death of Justice Sanford.
Several Names Mentioned.
At this early date several names OF
illustriouS jurors and lawyers have been
mentioned in connection with this SUI
pren1e Court appointment. Among these
are Judge w. s. Kenyon of Iowa, for
mer Senator, and now q member of the
eighth Federal Circuit Court; Judge
John j. Parker of Charlotte, N. c., now
a member of the fourth Judicial Circuit
Court Of Appeals, and John w. Davis OF
New York.
Judge Xenophon Hicks, now a men,
Der of the United State Circuit Court
Of Appeals, was put forward yesterday

RESCUE OF 81 MEN
Desperate Fight by Firemen
Leads All but Two From
Burning Mine.
BY the Associated Press.

STEUBENVILLE; Ohio, March IL
Cheated of all but two victims among
the 80 men trapped in the smoke-fllled
tunnels, flames Tapped stubbornly away
today in the depths Of the Wolf Run
mine of the Warner collieries near
Amsterdam, rs miles from here.
Sparks from the electric trolley pole
of train started confiagration which
for hours threatened major mine
disaster, but heroic rescue squads, pick
ing their way through tongues Of flames
springing from timbers and coal,
brought every man but two safely to
the surface.
Paul Borkowski, IS, died soon after
he was brought OUT He suffered from
asthma and could not survive the chok-
ing coal fumes he had breathed. The
body of Jack PewoSki, 81, was found
Two Rescuers Collapse.
Another miner, George Altman, was
severely burned on the; feet, legs and
hips while daShing across a barrier OF
fire. Two rescuers, Sidney Wales and
Arnold Horton, inspectors of the mine,
collapsed from exhaustion after tramp
ing for miles to search for workmen.
The 81 others cut of by the blaze
were brought out unframed, although
20 of them owed their lives to the des-
perste work of the Steubenville Fire De-
partment and mine rescue squads.
About q dozen of them were uncon-
SctouS from the intense heat and smoke
when carried to the surface, but most
of them were able to walk to their
nearby homes after they had been re-
vived. Company officials announced at
midnight that every man had been &C
counted for.
The fire broke out about 1000 feet
back from the main entrance shaft yes
terday afternoon, and telephone COM
munication to the mines was destroyed.
Prevented Blockade.
The Steubenville Fire Department
made 25-mile run and began pumping
water just in time to save the weak
ened timberS from allowing dirt and
shale to slide in and block the trapped
men. About 70 men were threatened,
the rest having been able to escape or
were brought out before the flames
could cut them OF.
For a time it seemed that the FIRE
would be the victor, but five hours later
it was checked sufficiently that res
cuers, wearing gas masks, crept through
and brought out 10 men, exhausted and
gasping for air. 1t was believed the
trapped men lived because fresh air had
constantly been pumped through an
overcast chute.
The rescue was made barely in time,
for less than three hours later the flames
again gained Roadway and, Fire Chief
Edward Green of Steubenville said he
feared it would be impossible TO save
the mine from destruction. Shifts of
firemen were kept at their posts all
night.

 Washington thought $10000 toe much to pay for Lopez's release when he was still a raw recruit SC far as big league ability was con- cerned, but he went up fast, by way Of Jacksonville and Atlanta before coming under the wing of the Robins of Brooklyn.
 So far as Wilbert Robinson, the rotund Robin pilot, was concerned. Lopez was still that Cuban what'@ his name" as late as this spring 1T the Dodger camp at Clearwater, but later Robbie found no difficulty To- eating Lopez in the regular lineup His hitting gained him the first string job this season and his all- around work forced Robinson to substitute the youngster for the veteran Hank DeBerry, long the special y-mate of Dazzy Vance.
 It wouldn't be baseball if the ex- perts did not have something to worry about or some mystery to unravel. The Great Hornsby Mys- tery has been solved by the reve- lation of his break with Joe Mo Carthy and selection to replace Joe as the manager of the Cubs in 1881. Now, the problem is what will Mccarthy do?
 The Cubs won their first pen nant in a dozen years under Me Carthy, but twice, in late season, they begged down after gaining five or six game leads in the stretch. The head of the House of Wrigley wants a worlds championship and believes Hornsby can duplicate his winning work in St. Louis in 1926
