W. H. TAFT SEEN AS
NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE
CF SUPREME COURT
By DAVID LAWRENCE
WASHINGTON, May 19.—Who
will be the next Chief Justice of the
United States?
The death of Chief Justice
White hastens the consideration ot
a problem that President Harding
did not expect to tackle until the
end of the present term of the su
preme court when it was generally
assumed that Mr. White would retire.
For many months it has been ac
cepted that the end of this term ot
court would see not only the retire
ment of a chief justice but other
members of he court of advanced
age. President Harding, from the be
ginning. has hoped that he would be
able to appoint former Senator
George B. Sutherland, of Utah, who
was his constant adviser during tne
campaign and whose judicial ability
is uneQuestioned.
Another hope which Mr. Harding
has had was that an opportunity
.Would present itself thereby he could
honor fbrmer President Taft with la
place on the highest bench of the
land. To appoint both Mr. Taft and
Mr. Sutherland w’ould require two
vacancies and it is not improbable
that President Harding will delay ap
pointing a successor to the chief jus
tice until after the close ot this
term of court so that he can make
two appointments at one time.
Difficulty in Way
The difficulty about appointing
former Senator Sutherland to the
chief justiceship is the fact that he
was born in England. It has never
been customary for any but a native
Amreican to .occupy the position
though, of course, Senator Sutherland
like the late. Secretary Lane and for
mer Secretary of Labor Wilson, spent
so little of their youth under the
British flag that they never were
rgearded as anything but 100 per
cent Americans.
While George''Sutherland, there
fore, is likely to become an asso
ciate justice some day, the chances
are that he will not be made chief
justice. That place probably will go
to fotmer President Taft if it goes
to anyone not now on the bench.
The difficulty about elevating the
present members of the court is
that the. Republicans are too ad
vanced ir age and the younger jus
tices are Democrats. The next chief
justice will be a Republican.
The movement to appoint former
President Taft to become the head
of the supreme court has been
spontaneous ever since it became
known that Chief Justice White
would retire. There has been no
exerting of pressure, no atempt to
line up political influence of any
kind—it has been a simple expres
sion tha' has come in many infor
mal ways to President Harding
that the appointment of Mr. Taft
would be popular with the country.
Taft’s Decisions Noteworthy.
Ever since Mr. Taft entered pub
lic life, his intimate friends have
said that he was happiest on tne
bt itch. As a federal judge in Ohio
lie was not only popular but ns
decisions were noteworthy. On his
reiitemenf from the presidency,
Mr Taft became the head of the
war Irbor board and won the con
fidence of labor by his fairness md
imp rtiality. In the league of na
tions controversy, he clung ten
aciously to the wing of the Re
publican party which favored co
operation with Europe as against
absolute isolation. He won praise
from the Democratic press for his
stand alongside President Wilson
when the latter was making an ac
tive fight for the league of na
tions.
Os course Washington already is
full of gossip concerning the possi
bility that Secretary of State
Charles Evans Hughes may be giv
en the chief justiceship. This has
proceeded from the notion that Mr,
Hughes gave up a lucrative practice
and consented to get into the public
service again because of an expecta
tion that he would not be expected
to remain secretary of state through
out the administration, but would go
back on the bench when a vacancy
occurred.
. Anyone who knows Mr Hughes,
of course, doesn’t believe that he
took the port-folio of secretary of
state with any such expectation but
simply because he felt it a duty to
help in a crisis in foreign policy. He
has done his job so well and Mr
Harding leans so heavily upon him
that the idea of promoting him at
this time to the bench can be dis
missed at once as out of the ques
tion. To take out of the depart
ment of state one who is formulat
ing the nation’s foreign policy would
only open anew for Mr. Harding the
sores of factionalism in congress and
cause trouble at a time when things
are slowly, but surely being smooth
ed out.
Mischief-Makers Active
Mischief-makers, particularly those
who do not like the influence in for
eign policy which Mr. Hughes is
exerting, have been whispering that
Mr. Hughes is a potential candidate
for the presidency. They cannot
base such an idea on anything tangi
ble for Mr. Hughes doesn’t talk about
his own future to anybody. Indeed
Washington correspondents recall
how for months he kept everybody
absolutely in doubt whether he would
accept tli© presidential nomination in
1916 and nobody can say he did a
thing to bring about that nomina
tion.
Nevertheless the political minded
have been saying that Mr. Harding
will have a contender in 1924 for re
nomination and that Mr. Hughes
ought to be appointed to the bench
so as not to be a factor. Curiously
enough, politicians interpreted the
appointment of Mr. Hughes to the
supreme court by Mr. Taft as a step ,
that would remove The then popular
'governor of New York as an impor
tant contender for the nomination tn
1912, but however, that may be, 1924
is a long ways off and, except for
the folks in congress who think and
dream politics all the time the con
test of 1924 has no bearing whatso
<ever on the situation today.
Mr. Hughes will be retained as
secretary of state because he is es
sential to the success of the Harding
administration. Mr. Sutherland will
be appointed an associate justice in
due time because President Harding
believes he is of the virile type of,
American whose legal ability en
titles him to the place. Forcer Pres
ident Taft will be made chief just
ice if President Harding decides to
name a man outside of the present
membership of the court. Mr. Taft
himself, at one time intended to put
a newcomer—Charles Evans Hughes
—at the head of the court, but chang
ed his mind at the last minute and
promoted Associate Justice White,
while appointing MrrHughes to be
come an associate, justice.

■ANT TAKEN FOR
DEATH CART DRIVER
NEW YORK, May 19. —A federal*
warrant was issued today for Giusep
pi de Filippo, Bayonne truck man, de
tained as a Wall street bomb plot
suspect, charging him with having
attempted to destroy the United
States assay offices
The warrant was issued by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock, on
complaint of Charles H. Scully, head
of the department of justice head
quarters in this city, who said De Fil
ippo had been identified by several
persons as the driver of the death
cart that figured in the explosion.
At the same time the police an
nounced that Thomas Smith, a re
tired fireman, who several weeks ago
identified Tito Lfgi, a Scranton sus
pect, as a man he had seen talking
to the driver of the death cart, had
told them De Filippo looked like the
driver.
It was learned from the New Y'ork
police that Raymond Clarke, a con
struction foreman, wab one of the
witnesses taken to Bayonne today
when De Filippo was lined up for
identification after his arrest on sus
picion. there last night.
Clarke failed to identify De Filip
po as the man who he claimed ran
up to him shortly after the explo
sion crying: “My God, that was my
wagon.”
Identification of deFilippo as the
bomb wagon driver by three men
was “positive” and the department of
justice has no doubt it has the right
man this time, it was announced at
the department’s headquarters here.
Two department officials went to
Newark to confer with federal at
torneys regarding bringing the pris
oner to New York.
Peach Spraying
This Week Urged
' FORT VALLEY. Ga.. May 19.
Growers should not fail to make an
application of arsenate of lead and
self-boiled lime-sulphur or 80-5-15
dust to Hiley peaches during the
week May 16-21, according to gov
ernment experts here. According to
the life history ot' the curculio it is
quite probable they will become ac
tive again on Hileys during the next
:'ew -weeks. Consequently, it is ex
tremely advisable to make an appli
cation of spray to that variety im
mediately. This is the last applica
tion to Hileys unless a great deal of
rain and cloudy weather occurs be
tween r.ow and the ripening period
which would make it necessary to
apply an application of self-boiled
4 ime-sulphur alone, or 80-5-15 dust,
about ten days to two weeks before
harvest.
Growers are advised not to spray
Georgia Belles or Elbertas at the
same time as recommended for Hil
eys. Georgia Belles should not re
ceive the next application of arsen
ate of lead and self-boiled lime-sul
phur until the week of May 30-June
4. Elbertas will need the applica
tion during the week June 6—ll.
Frequent discing of orchards, par
ticularly under the trees near the
tree trunk, is especially urged to de
stroy the curculio in the pupa' stage.
Reaent observations show that 45
per cent of the “worms” in the soil
have passed to the pupa, stage and
will soon be emerging as adult cur
culio beetles. Frequent discing de
stroys or disturbs the pupa cells and
prevents the insect from developing.
The curculio and brown rot are be
ing very satisfactorily controlled to
date in the Georgia peach belt, and
growers are urged to vigorously con
tinue the tight against these pests
until the battle is won at the har
vest of late varieties.
Crooks Are Caught

‘Money Making’ Mill
KINGSTON. N. Y. Two New

Ulster county farmer how to make
United States currency with a ma

in on the demonstrators unawares.
The police found SSO in genuine
money in the'machine, which, the
farmer was told, was manufactured
in the creature’s “innards.” The
New York salesmen, who said they
were Frank Bauman, 515 East Eigh
ty-fifth street, and Anton Pearlman,
643 East Ninth street, are under ar
rest. Sam Astalos lacks the ma

MISS ELIZABETH BERTHA
SMITH. IN SOME OF HER DIVING
POSTURES.
WASHINGTON.—“J f you’d be
healthy, happy and wise—swim.”
That’s the advice of Miss Elizabeth
Bertha Smith, who attributes her
Venus de Milo form, keen mind and
joyous disposition to swimming.
“To remain happily vigorous, one
must become normally tired physical
ly every day.” says Miss Smith.
“Swimming does this better than any
other sport—keeping mind and body
free from corroding poisons.”
When Miss Smith starts her div
ing stunts all others in the pool stop
to watch. She makes the “swan,”
“jackknife,” “hand stand” and “run
ning come back” dives look easy.
The latter is the most difficult of
all dives. A complete backward turn
is made in air and the diver strikes
the water head first.
An amateur, she excels in high and
fancy diving and the 40-yard dash.
She also swims the 60, 110 and 220-
yard distances in fast time.
Champion of District
Miss Smith is in the early twenties,
is employed in tfie state department
offices and holds the all-rountb div
ing and swimming championships of
the District of Columbia.
The shares the paddling cham
pionship of the Delawarc-Chesa
peake division of the American Ca
noe association.
She is an expert horsewoman and
won tennis honors at Northwestern
university and basketball honors in
Florida.
“I engage in athletics for the fun
of it,” she says. “I have pride in
winning events, but that is secon
dary. Too many girls hold aloof
from sports because they cannot ex
cel. That’s a foolish way of punish
ing one’s self.
"Exercise keeps a girl’s thoughts
from a morbid trend —and goodness
knows there are many ‘flappers’ to
day who need their thoughts diverted
to wholesome channels.”
Says Japs and British
Not Lined Against U. S.
CHICAGO, May 19. —Sir Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador to the
United States, in a speech here last
night, branded as false rumors that
England and are allied against
the peace of the United States. He
expressed himself in favor of reduc
tion of armaments throughout the
world but said that “at the present
time no nation could alone disarm
and be secure.”
Ho pleaded for co-operation be
tween Great Britain and the United
States “for the peace of the world”
and for “an international agreement
between business men not govern
mentally supervised.” This, the am
bassador said, would help pull the
world "from the economic slough in
whiclj it has found itself.”

SCIENCE HUMIS FOR
BURIED TREASURE
BERKELEY*. Cal.— Modern science
has «one on the trail of that ever
alluring will o’ the wisp—buried
treasure.
Probably the most dramatic hunt
for treasure trove in modern times
is on.
Linking it with the gripping old
tales of fiction is the .character, of
the lone prospector, picking his way
through desert hills in the Impe
rial Valley, there to stumble upon
that good friend of all treasure
tales—the time-faded papers, pre
served in a roll of animal skin.
But right there all connection
with age-old traditions comes to an
end. and the tal/e swings into its
modern path at the University of
California here with Professor Her
bert E. Bolton, of the department
of history, as chief character.
Into the office of Professor Bol
ton there came the other day John
Mayeroff, a. young prospector, with
a record of more disappointments
than successes to hi.s history. Maye
roff brought with him three faded
and torn pieces of document. Time
had made almost illegible the writ
ing—al] done in Spanish—and the
crude chart that one of. the bits of
paper bore.
“I was prospectin’ down in the
Imperial Valley, way down in the
southeastern end of California, when
I found thisj thing underneath a
big rock.” the prospector
simply. “I took it to the village of
Pothole and some fellows translat
ed it and said it was a chart to
some buried treasure.”
Mayeroff was skeptical. Fate had
fooled him too often. He had been
told that Prof. Bolton was one of
the foremost experts on early Span
ish exploration in the world, so he
had come to him.
And right there and then science
went on the trail of buried treas
ure.
YVith all the equipment of a. great
university laboratory at his com
mand, the professor went to work.
The photomicrograph, the chemistry
room, the microscope and other tools
of thg scientist were brought into
play and soon the writings were
deciphered.
At the end Professor Bolton an
nounced the documents to contain
one of the most interesting tales
that had ever come to his atten
tion. Even though no treasure is
found, he declared the papers to be
of inestimable historic value.
So Mayeroff is back in the south
eastern end of California today, with
a party of friends, hunting for land
marks pointed out on the chart and
eagerly seeking “enough gold to
weigh down the backs of sixty horses
and mules.”
And behind him at the univer
sity is a thrilling story of the early
fifties of the Sixteenth century
which tells of- a lost expedition which
set sail from Spain in 1553 and
traveled through North America: of
how the party fell in with some
Frenchmen who were lost and with
out supplies; of how the two par
ties combined and, in pursuing their
explorations, discovered
wealth.
Sixty horses and mules were
loaded down with gold and silver
from the mine, and the expedition
resumed its march. An encounter
with Indians followed which result
ed in every member of the party
being slain, but not until the treas
ure was buried and minute direc
tions for its recovery and the loca
tion of the mine written and buried
under a rock.
Professor Bolton declares there is
no question of doubt as to the gen
uineness of the documents; they are
written in old Spanish on Sixteenth
century paper and bear every proof
of genuineness.
Japan to Negotiate
Troop Withdrawal

Asahi declared today.
Cure for Boasting
The engineer, says an exchange,
had become tired of the boastful
talk he heard from* the other engine
drivers at his bearding house. One
evening he began: “This morning I
went over to see a new machine
we’ve got at our place, and it’s as
tonishing how it works.”
“And how does it work?” asked
he.
"Well.” was the reply, “by means
of a pedal attachment a fulcrumed
lever converts a vertical reciprocat
ing motion into a circular move
ment. The principal part of the
machine is a huge disk that revolves
in a vertical plane. Power is ap
plied through the axis of the disk,
and work is done on the periphery,
and the hardest steel by mere im
pact may be reduced to any shape.”
“What is this wonderful ma
chine?”
“A grindstone,” was the reply.—
Engineering.

SOLDIER FROM GEORGIA
MAKES DESPERATE TRY
AT PRISON ESCAPE
NEW YORK.—Military authorities
on Governor’s island believe a whole
sale attempt at escape on the part
of more than 200 prisoners was
frustrated when Private Lee Jenkins,
22 years old, apparently the ring
leader in the plot, fell nearly 100
feet through the iron door leading
to the the ancient building.
Jenkins, who is from Thomasville,
Ga., and who had been sentenced to
five years’ imprisonment for rob
bing a soldier at Camp Dix, was to
be transferred to Fort Leavenworth,
Kans. He had sawed through one
of the bars in a heavy iron door
leading to the circular stairway that
leads to the roof of the old castle.
By bending the bar he made room
enough to allow a man of ordinary
build to slip through. The prisoners
at Castle William are not locked In
their cells until 8:30 o’clock at night.
Just before 8 o’clock, while it was
still light, Jenkins obtained seven
blankets, the extra ones evidently be
ing contributed by other prisoners
who were “in” on the plan to es
cape. Jenkins knotted the blankets
together and tied the end to one ot
the old cannons on top of the fort.
He started to lower himself, evi
dently intending to drop the inter
vening distance when he had gone as
far as the blankets would carry him.
The knot in the second blanket
from the top was insecurely tied
and the improvised line parted. Jen
kins alighted on the stones at the
foot of the castle, close to the wa
ter’s edge, broke his nose and suf
fered other injuries from which it
was at first thought he w’ould die.
Jenkins’ fall ended any further at
tempts to escape that may liaA’e
been contemplated by prisoners.
How the prisoner obtained the saw
with which he severed the iron bar
and how he managed to carry on
the work without being discovered
by sentries were matters of mystery
to the authorities yesterday. If he
had succeeded in reaching the shore
without detection the prisoner could
only have made good his escape by
swimming from the island. Castle
William has been the scene of many
attempted escapes since its use as
a prison, but for sheer audacity ap
parently none has eqflaled Jenkins’
effort.
HDUSEMAfPROBE
GOVERNOR'S BOOK
MACON, Ga., May 19. —Thorough
investigation of alleged conditions in
Georgia as published in a pamphlet
issued by Governor Hugh Dorsey,
with reference to his charges con
cerning lynchings, peonage and law
lessness, will be made by a commit
tee of the house of representatives
when the assembly convenes in At
lanta next month, if a resolution
which will be introduced by Repre
sentative Ben J. Fowler, of Bibb
county, is adopted.
In the preamble to the resolution,
Mr. Fowler declares that the charges
of the governor should be investi
gated. and if found to be true, that
the judges or peace officers guilty
should be punished and that ade
quate laws should be enacted to pre
vent such conditions. The represen
tative also declares that if the
charges are riot true, that the gover
nor should be impeached.
The resolution calls for the ap
pointment of a committee of nine
members with full powers to make
an investigation, summoning such
witnesses as it sees fit to call.
Power of Settlement
Is Tendered to Davis;
See End of Marine War
WASHINGTON, May 19.—Decision
of representatives of thd seamen,
marine engineers and radio operators
to place full power in the hands of
Secretary Davis to effect a settle
ment for them with ship owners and
the United States shipping board in
the marine wage controversy was re
garded as offering a definite prospect
today for termination of the dispute.
The decision was reached at a con
ference here last night between the
union heads ar I the labor secretary,
at which it was also agreed that they
w’ould present to him today tentative
agreements involving wage reduc
tions, new working conditions and
ove-rtime scales.
As a basis for negotiating a set
tlement of the dispute, Secretary
Davis planned to present these new
proposals today to shipping board
and other government officials, with
indications that Secretary Hoover
probably would be among those call
ed into conference. It is understood
that the proposals will provide for a
basic 15 per cent wage reduction, as
demanded by ship owners and the
board, but that upward revision In
overtime scales and working condi
tions would make the reductions ac
tually range from 10 to 12 1-2 per
cent. While the cooks and stewards
were not represented at last night’s
conference, it is believed that an
agreement in their case would quick
ly follow a sttlement with the other
unions.
Wireless Telephone
Over Atlantic Ocean
Praised by Marconi
LONDON.—Signor Marconi, inven
tor of wireless, pins his faith to
trans-Atlantic telephonic communica
tion by wireless, instead of by cable,
despite the recent successful experi
ment in America connecting Cuba
with the mainland in ja telephone
circuit evtending 5,000 miles.
“I still think,” he said, “that the
only satisfactory method of tele
phoning across the Atlantic is by
wireless. At present we can only
do a short distance by cable
phone—from London to Paris is as
far as we can do now Tn attempts
to communicate with Spain we have
failed. Up to 100 or 200 miles of
cable it works. With 1,000 miles or
more of cable it won’t work.
“Wireless telephony, of course, has
not yet been developed to the sama
extent as the wire telephone but it is
being rapidly improved. We have not
done anything 'ike 5,000 miles ffiu*
far. We have spoken successmully
from ondon to Rome and we have got
words through to America, but not
in a comme-cial or pracHcal way.
At present thee- are certain disturb
ances of the waves in space, the
cause of which has not yet been dis-
Inflated
“Whatever has happened to all
of you people?” complained the
tourist. “Why, last year, when I
came here, you were all so nice and
friendly, and now everybody’s too
proud to speak!”
The oldest . inhabitant solved the
problem.
“Well, yer see, mister, it’s jest
village pride. Bill Smith, ’e found
a guidebook wot fell out o’ a motor
car, an’ now we know that Winyel’s
gravel hit’s a precipice, t’ old duck

TREASURY TO ASSIST
FARMERS IN GETTING
LONG-TERM CREDITS
•WAStIINGTON, May 19.—Legis
lation to enable banks to extend long
er term credits to farmers and live
stock men will get the support of
the treasury, Secretary Mellon said
today.
Measures of this, sort have been
Introduced, but are now being re
written. It is probable that Secre
tary Mellon will approve publicly
a proposal to aid the farmer as soon
as it is put in the form he favors.
Under present legislation bank
members of the federal reserve sys
tem cannot loan on paper running
longer than six months. This has
worked hardship on live stock rais
ers and farmers who have been
caught in the slump and are unable
to meet their paper running for that
length of time.
The new proposal would allow the
acceptance of paper running for as
long as two years, thus giving the
producers a longer time in which to
right their aaffirs.
Secretary Mellon believes that the
new plan can be put into effect with
out injury to the federal reserve
banks.
“Brother Isaiah”
Restores Speech and
Sight in Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 19.
Before a crowd of approximately 10,-
000 people "Brother Isaiah.” the New
Orleans w’idely known divine healer,
ministered to the halt, the lame and
the blind at a meeting in Confeder
ate park here Wednesday evening,
“Brother Isaiah," wearing a long
flowing white robe, spoke for about
an hour before demonstrating his
power.
Florence Giles, a deaf mute, was
the first cure effected, and tears
streamed down her face as the real
ization that she could hear and
speak swept over her. Exclama
tions of “Glory to God!” were heard
throughout the crowd, which had
been more or less skeptical in the
beginning. A two-year-old baby of
Mrs. M. L. Rawley, of Green Cove 1
Springs, who had been blind from
birth, was then treated. The child
had been unable to distinguish light
from darkness, and following the
treatment pointed to an electric light,
then reached out its hands\for a red
shawl waved before it. The healer
stated that the sight would gradu
ally return. The demonstrations con
tinued far after midnight Thursday
morning, and two more meetings
were held during the day.
Legion Moves to Aid.
Widows and Orphans
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Amer
ican Legion is determined to make
a fight in the sixty-seventh congress
to obtain vocational education for
widows and orphans of men killed in
France, according to John Thomas
Taylor, vice chairman of the legion’s
■national legislative committee.
Vocational education for widows
and orphans of all ex-service men
who died overseas during the war
was provided iii the Kenyon bill
passed by the United States senate
at the last session of congress. The
same bill, introduced by Representa
tive Fess, of Ohio, In the house did
not pass, but was favorably report
ed by the house committee on educa
tion, with, however, the provision for
vocational education for widows and
orphans stricken out. Senator Ken
yon has reintroduced his bill, with
the widow and orphan education fea
ture included; the American Legion
is backing the Kenyon bill.
-There are approximately 14,000
widows and 18,000 orphans of Amer
ica’s dead. If the government were
to provide vocational education for
all of them, the cost would be $122,-
000,000, an estimate based upon the
present cost of vocational education,
as -given by the federal board for vo
cational education, which is $125 a
month per man for maintenance and
$35 per month for books, equipment,
tuition and incidentals.
