More obvious signs pointing to the younger
Senator Bob La Toilette as the heir apparent are
not widely accepted by political elite. Neither
is the wholly wild Lewis rumor.
La Toilette Political Asset
Bob and John just do not fit the Roosevelt
carpet slippers, although they wear ones of SINH
lar hue. La Toilette has been off the Roosevelt
reservation as much as on. He is good political
asset to the President. but many Of their views,
particularly on money do not coincide. There
are big things in store for him at the White
House. but not the 1910 nomination.

Black case before the Supreme Court. AS a re-
suit, Blacks name has not been mentioned before
the Court yet. Even the page boys know that
Chief Justice Hughes was fully aware of what
Lawyer Patrick Henry Kelly was up to. The
squelching of Patrick Henry, they say, was per-
formed by Mr.. Hughes in order to avoid a scene,
which all the Justices, including Black, had
feared would develop.
Not "Fine Print" Lawyers
Incidentally, neither Kelly nor the other chal-
lenger of Blacks right, Albert Levitt is the kind
of a "fine print" lawyer Mr.. Roosevelt is always
deriding. Kelly has argued before the Court in
some very good cases.
The general run Of expert legal opinion, pri-
vately expressed, is that Kelly and Levitt prob
ably are right, yet few expect Black to be kicked
off the bench.
Any Representative who voted for the judges

"emoluments" Of Supreme Court Justices, and
therefore, is technically debarred from appoint

that.
But the question is technical and also does
not present the best possible case (because Black
voted to increase the retirement allowance and
not the salaryJ Furthermore. the way it was
presented to the Court involves deep legal
question Of how the Court itself may legally

SUBWAY PLAN.
IN D. C. CIRCLES.
To Aid Pedestrians
In Traffic Areas

A series of underpasses for pedes-
trians to eliminate traffic hazards
at circles and congested intersec.
tions, was suggested today by Sen
ator Augustine Lonergan, CD, Of
Conn.,, as one solution for the Dis.
trict'S serious vehicular problem.
Senator Lonergan, who has
made a study Of safety devices for
traffic handling during the last
session Of the Congress, indicated
he would draw up the proper legis-
lation at the next session Of the
Congress to provide the safeguards
which he deems necessary for
proper traffic control.
VAN DUZER IN ACCORD
While the Senator has not con-
fined himself in his study to the
District problems, alone, he is sug-
gesting the construction Of the
underpasses might go a long way
toward solving the Districts
problem.
He has completed recently con-
ference with Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer who is
heartily in accord with the recon-
mendationS.
Senator Lonergan called par
ticular attention to the pedestrian
traffic at the circles. He pointed
out the signal lights that are now
in operation provide excellent di-
rection for the handling of vehicu-
lar traffic, but leave much to be de-
sired on behalf of the person who
walks.
