He turned his attention at once to their food and found that they were getting full rations of meat and were drinking water from a stream near by. He issued orders to cut down the amount of meat agd to increase greatly the quantity ol Quaker Oats fed to the men. cult The appointment of Governor Hughes to the Supreme bench. It is known, would give the president great pleasure, and it is generally conceded that if he realized there was a slight chance of Governor Hughes accepting the place it would he offered him tt once Slight Not Tempt Him. The Hughes selection Is not In shape to be reckoned with definitely as yet. His friends :’reely assert that nothing short of the chief justiceship would tempt him at the present. The president would feel doubly satisfied in giving the appointment to Governor Hughes, in that the Second Judicial circuit, which contains the State of New York, at present has no repre sentative on the Supreme bench, and there is a loud clamor from New York for an appointee on Ihe bench to take the place of the late Justice Peck- Lam. In the meantime, it is understood that President Taft is quietly sizing up one of the c’reult judges in the Eighth judicial district, from which Justice Brewer hailed. He is said :c have dscovered in Judge Vandevents* ihe ideal timber for the place he Is expecting to fill. In age qualification —he Is just 50—In experience, achieve ment and geographical location, he is admitted to bo a selection well worth while, and reports are becomln quite persis’ent to the effect that Judge Vatideventer, stands extremely close to the appointment. Van Deventer was virtually the au thor of the circuit court opinion in tho Northern Securities case, having been assigned to write It by his fellow- judges. Although the decision brougiit hint fame, it appears he had plenty of that commodity to go on previously. As a territorial judge in Wyoming he hud his first service on the bench at the age of 29. He was the first chief justice of Wyoming when that com monwealth was admit’ed to state hood. He tesigned to accept a pos'- t : on as counsel for ono of the big western corporations. Came to Washington. Hard times in the west in 1892 and 1893 brought him to Washington as an applicant for the position of soli- citor-general under Attorney General McKenna in McKinley’s cabinet. In sistence on the part of President Mc Kinley and Secretary Bliss caused him to take the position of assistant at torney general for the interior depart ment. When the Eighth Judicial cir cuit, comprising territory extending fom Canada to Mexico was given a fourth judge, in 1902, ihe commission for this Judgeship was given to Van Deventer by President Roosevelt. President Taft Is being urged to give recognition to the extensive E gh'tb circuit, from which theme em anates much business and which It is contended is in need of a representa tive on the Supreme bench to faclll- the many important cases which corre from thero. Van Deven'er’s fel-] low Judges, Messrs. Sanborn and ; Hook, also have been urged for the appointment front this circuit. In addition to these, the president has; a long list of names which have been sent in front other localities. To Attend the Meeting of State Body.

The members of the Amerlcus bar have heard nothing ns yet from their petition to Judge Speer, requesting tho appointment of a referee in bank ruptcy for this county. Judge Speer acknowledged the re ceipt of the petition, gave an Intlma- tion that ho hoped It would be posst hie for him to gratify the wishes of the har, out nothing further has been heard from him. It Is well known that the Judge has been busily engaged In court matters, and has also been absent on the trip to Chicago whore he delivered a memor ial address on Jefferson’s birthday, 30 the bar has not lost hope that It will yet receive a favorable answer to Its request. clal event. It is probable that the dinner will be held at the armory hall, some time In the first week in May, and that It will be made an even more atract- Ive event than Its predecessors. It Is not known as yet who will do the catering for the occasion. The ladles In charge of this Americas Hospital have had charge of the din ners In the past and it Is not Improb able that they will be entrusted with the spread this year.
