SENATOR WAGNER
URGES CARDOz0
President Told of New York
Jurist's Qualifications for
Supreme Bench.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Chief Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo of
the Court Of Appeals Of New York was
today recommended to President Hoover
by Senator Wagner of New York for ap-
pointment to the Supreme Court Of the
United States to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Associate Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Senator Wagner said that Justice
Cardozo was an outstanding jurist in
the country today and that because of
his great ability the President should
forget geographical lines in making the
appointment TO the Supreme Court.
New York already has been represented
by two members Of the court. Chief
Justice Hughes and Associate Justice
Stone.
Cardoza Unaware of Visit.
The New York Senator said that his
| visit to the President today to recon-
mend Chief Justice Cardozo was with
out the knowledge Of the Chief Justice
He said that Chief Justice Cardozo was
| most scholarly man and that his
| pieces OF jurisprudence.
AS he was leaving the White House
Senator Wagner said he believed that
the President still had an open mind
regarding the appointment to the
| Supreme Court. He added, however
that he believed too, the President
would make an early appointment and
realizing the need of filling this i'm
portant position, as quickly as possible
President Hoover denied himself tc
callers this morning on his official list
until II 80 o'clock, and it was believed
| he was giving attention to the question
of filling the Supreme Court vacancy
Attorney General Mitchell, who also
has been mentioned as a possible ap-
pointee to the Supreme Court, was a
caller at the White House yesterday.
Politics Is Question.
One of the questions before the
President is whether he will appoint a
| Republican or Democrat to the Su-
preme Court. The makeup Of the
| court has been six Republicans and
three Democrats. The retiring Justice
Holmes is Republican If the Presi-
dent should appoint Democrat it Is
| reported that he may turn to Newton
! D. Baker Of Cleveland, Ohio, Secretary
of War in the Wilson administration
Other Democrats mentioned in connec-
| ton with the appointment are John w.
Davis of West Virginia and New York,
Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana
and Senator Bratton Of New Mexico.
Attorney General Mitchell also is a
| Democrat from Minnesota.
| The Southeastern States at present
are not represented in the membership
of the court. Virginia Republicans arc
suggesting that the President might
well appoint Associate Justice Groner
of the Court of Appeals of the District
Of Columbia. Justice Groner is recog-
nized as an able judge and was practi-
cally drafted to take the seat on the
bench in the District Of Columbia.
If the President should look to Massa.
chuSettS for a successor to Justice
Holmes, it was suggested today that he
might select Chief Justice Rugg Of the
Supreme Court of that State. The
name Of former President Calvin Cool
idge also was drawn into the discussion
of possible appointees but the impress.
sion prevailed that Mr.. Coolidge pre-.
fers to remain in private life.

January 14-Former Queen Sophie Of
Greece. sister of former Kaiser Wilhelm
Of Germany, who died here last night
at the age Of 81, will be buried al
Florence, Italy beside her husband, the
late King Constantine.
The former Queen, who was married
to King Constantine in Athens in 1889
had been i'll for a long time, but or
last Monday she suddenly grew worse.
Members of the Greek royal family
who were at her bedside when she died
included her children, former King
George II, former Queen Helen Of Ru-
mania, Prince Paul and Princesses
Irene and Catherine.
After the death Of King Constantine
at Palermo in 1929 Queen Sophie took
up her residence at Florence, where she
remained until last November when
she came here to consult a specialist.
Born in Potsdam In 1870.
Former Queen Sophie of Greece was
born in PotSdam June IA, 1870, fourth
child of Emperor Frederick III and his
consort, Victoria, Princess Royal OF

Her youth conceded with the rise OF
the German Empire, and when she
went as a radiant young bride of ls
to Athens to become Queen Of the
HelleneS October 81, 1889, her brother
William II, had just taken the reins
of state.
AS the first prince of Greek reign
ing dynasty, born IN modern times on
Greek soil and reared in the Greek
Orthodox faith, Constantine embodied
the national aspirations of the Greek
people
A crack steamship was chartered to
convey the wedding party from Venice
to the Piraeus, and the wedding feStivi-
ties, to which all the royal and semi
royal houses in Europe were hidden

After the birth of Crown Prince
George in 1890, Queen Sophie embraced
the Greek Orthodox faith, thereby in
curing her brother Williams displeas-
ure, and it took some years before they
we're reconciled.
The Kaiser appointed his sister chief
of cavalry regiment, but according to
the memoirs of Baron Won ReiSchach,
chief equerry to the court, she never
took to the saddle, unlike here sisters
Victoria and Margaret who were both
horsewomen.

will initiate a demand for cancellation
The present policy is based on the
situation as 1t now stands, it was ex-

the situation will be changed. Italy
however, will do nothing more than tc

MILAN, January 14.-Italy's policy

Gated today through the medium of an
editorial in the Popolo DItalia by
Premier Mussolini calling on Europe to
cancel reparations demands and assur-
ing that. in such a case, the United

torial said "the United States would
not have the courage to insist" on pay

The editorial, the second in three
days in which II Duce has outlined
Italian policies, was not signed but, like
the former one was definitely known
to have been written by him 1t was
spread prominently across the first page
