SOUTH AFRICA STIRRED OVER
JUDGE SOLOMON’S VERDICT
IN NATIVE KILLING
Johannesburg (J. T. A.).—Public
opinion in South Africa is greatly
stirred over the verdict of a Jewish
judge in the case of a farmer who
flogged to death a native. Judge Saul
Solomon sentenced the farmer, Jack
Nafte, a Jew, to ten years imprison
ment at hard labor and ten lashes.
Important political developments
may be the result of the case. It is
said to be the first case when a white
man in South Africa received so strin
gent a sentence for the killing of a
native. The nationalist press violently
attacks Judge Solomon, accusing him
of being a negro-phile. A review of
the case was ordered by the Minister
of Justice because lashes were never
before ordered for a white prisoner.
At the order of General Hertzog, the
lashing was postponed, pending the
review.

PRESIDENT DECLINES TO NAME
MAURICE BLOCH U. S. DIS
TRICT JUDGE
New York (J. T. A.).—Although
strong endorsements have been made
for Maurice Bloch, minority leader
in the New York State Senate, as one
of the three United States district
judges in the southern district of New
York, judgeships created by an act of
Congress at the last session, the Pres
ident, it was indicated, is not inclined
to name Mr. Bloch, according to a re
port from Washington to the New
York “Evening World.”
The President, it was stated, pre
fers Francis G. Caffey, Democrat. Mr.
Caffey, who is a former United States
District Attorney under the appoint
ment of President Wilson, was named
by President Coolidge, together with
Lloyd P. Stryker and John M. Wool-
sey, Republicans, but these appoint
ments were not confirmed by the Sen
ate at the last session.
It was indicated, however, that the
New York Senators would support
the appointment of Mr. Caffey, al
though they are disappointed that
they could not obtain the nomination
of Mr. Bloch.
