H|Tz TO Be NAMED
TO APPEALS BENCH
President to Send Nominal
ton to Senate This After
noon or Monday.
Continued From First Page.)


District Supreme Court. The Attorney
General has had considerable time to
consider this and is understood to be
ready to make his recommendation to
the President. He is awaiting the time
when Justice Hitz will be confirmed for
his appointment to the Court of APP
peals.
Proctor Recommended by Bar.
Previously when Justice Hitz' nominal
ton was decided upon, James M. Proc
tor, local attorney, is understood to
have been recommended by the Attor-
ney General for appointment to Justice
HitZ' place. Mr.. Proctor was recon-
mended to the Attorney General by the
District Bar Association and the local
Republican organizations as well as a
number of local individuals.
There have been number of names
under consideration for Justice Hitz'
place and indications at the White
House today were that Mr.. Proctor stood
at the top of the list of two or three
who have been most seriously consid-
cred by the Attorney General. Others
who have been seriously considered are
Frederick dc. Faust.
Native Of Washington.
Justice Hitz is a native of Washing
ton, having been born April 81, 1871.
He took his law course here and was
admitted to the bar December 20, 1899.
He later became member of the law
firm of McKenney, Flannery & Hitz,
remaining there until his appointment
of ~
Supreme Court, where he took the oath
of office November %, 1916.
He has presided in all the branches
of the court, but had gained prominence
from his service in the criminal courts.
He presided over the trial of Harry F.
Sinclair, New York oil magnate, for
contempt of the United States Senate
and sentenced the oil man to serve
three months in jail and to pay fine
of $500. Later he presided at the trial
of Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of
the Interior, charged with accepting a
bride of 100000 from Edward L.
sentenced Fall to pay fine Of $1,000
and to serve one year in Jail. Fall is at
liberty on appeal from that decision.
Presided at Doheny Trial.
Justice Hitz was on the bench at
the trial of Doheny on an indictment
for giving the 100000 bride to Fall,
but a jury eXonerated Doheny on his
testimony that the money was merely
loan to an old friend.
The elevation of Justice IIitz will
establish precedent for the promotion
of justice of the Supreme Court to
place on the Court of Appeals. Jus
tice Louis E. McComas served on both
benches. but he had resigned from
the Supreme Court and had served a
term in the United States Senate from
Maryland before his designation to the
Court of Appeals bench.

such move would be welcomed by the

After these questions by Mr.. Davis,
