' i.wmwuu THE WASHINGTON TIMES. SATURDAY, NOVEIMBER 10; 1917. '4 ILLOIY, TERM ENDING, HY REMAIN ON BENCH B BIU, PRICE. The six-year term of Judge Alex ander K. Uullovrnjr. or the Police Court, will expire December. 21 next, and the preiuraptlon ! that he will be riven another term by President Wilson, At the Department of Jus tice, upon the recommendations of which the President usually acts In the majority of Judicial appoint ments. It was said today that the matter of fllllne this District position when the -vacancy occurs has not been considered there. It Is taken for granted amonc mem. btra of the bar of Washington that there will be a number of candidates for the place, although Judge Mul lowny will be strongly supported for another term by many of the best known members of the legal profes Ion. Peculiar Situation. .A peculiar situation has existed for many months as to Judge James Pugh, of the same court. Judge Pugb'J original six-year term expired March 0, 1918, and his friends counted upon his receiving- another appointment. The filling of the position dragged along for a number of months until the Bth of last April, when President Wilson, upon the recommendation of Attorney General Gregory, nominated rtobert TV. llardison, of Kentucky. Jfr. Rardison's nomination was con firmed by the Senate April 11, last. The White House and Department of Justice received letters stating that Mr. Hardlson was seriously ill and would not be able to assume the duties of the position for same time. . ... i,iti uwwuauuu la iuw.v Mi. Itardlaon bun heen ttnnpnvln" mnA will be able to take the oath of oftlce and ' It upon the police bench about the I Judge 'Parch Holds Over. Judge Pugh has held over pending1 the arrival of his successor and will continue to do so, although tempting offers hare been made him to resume i private practice. He is- held In high esteem by court officials and attor neys practicing before him. The law has meant something to him beyond cola application of the strict word lag. It has a human side, as he looks at It. The coming cession of Congress is xpeeted to provide two new justices for the Supreme Court bench of the District, that being Imperatively nec essary to dispose of the accumulated work before that court. There are cases on the docket that ought to hava been decided two years ago, but could not be reached because of the pressure of more Important cases. The Senate has recognized tne need of two additional justices by passing a bill providing them, but the House at the last session held to Its deter mination to enact no legislation be yond that providing for the war. Rep resentative Edwin Y Webb of North Carolina, chairman of the House Ju diciary Committee, fully understood the urgent need of the extra tude-ea. and sought to have the House make thla need special, but could get no action. He will push the bill at the beginning of the next session. Mr. Webb's name has been promi nently mentioned for a Judgeship in the District, and the President Is raid to regard him favorably. "Connie" Srme Wants to Flakt. Conrad Syme, corporation counsel for the District of Columbia, Is be lieved to hae been practically slated for a District Judicial appointment for t long time and Ills friends are count ing upon his being named to one of the positions to be created by Con gress. It ill not be necessary for Sim to make a fight for the honor if hs should want it owing to the power ful backing he would get without ask ing for It Mr Syme. however. Is not thinking about a Judicial appointment right now. The-truth la that his mind Is running toward getting a commission in the army to serve his country. The big scrap appeals to him. He wants to be In the thick of It. He has not been In position to seek an army appointment. He has represented the District in the Important utility hearings of the last eighteen months. Intended to ob tain a correct valuation of District utilities and proper rates for service to the people of the District. Some of these hearings have not been com Dieted, and Mr Syme will shortlr id. pear In the District courts to oppose the suit of the I'otomac Electric Light Company, to prevent the lowering of lta electric light rates to eonumers of the District, as ordered by the Utilities Commission His services to the District are exceptionally valu. able now and for some time to come. TJiererore ho must postpone his wishes to go Into the army. One of Mr Srme's sons Is In West Point and soon will enter the army. Another Is In the Virginia Military Institute, fitting himself for a mill tary career, and be. too, will offer his services to his country- WHAT NEXT? lOonTriabl: 11T: JofcT.XcCc-rssiraJ I UWerliuw W.WKra.einAtWaJrftUrnt.M. --tVSTM .

GUESTS TON IGHT AT FOOD SHOW DRUG RUNNER NOW SLAYER OF YOUNG BOTDTON, Ya., Nor. 10. The mys tery surrounding the assault and mur der at a lonely farmhouse near here of Mrs. Thomas L. Walker, a bride of a few days, has been deepened by the release of W. It. Smelly, cousin and former sweetheart of the woman, who was at first charged with the murder. Smelly established a complete alibi nhen arraigned esterday and was given his liberty. He was many miles away from the scene when the crime Is said to have been committed. Armed posses are today searching for suspects and with the sustaining or tile atioi by smelly, more credence Is placed In a statement made by the young woman just before her death that she had been attacked by a big niacK man. uecause ox statements said to have been made by Smelly oeiore ure marriage or mi sweet heart to another man, little interest was shown In the woman'a dying statement. Smelly sent flowers to be placed on the woman'a grave and showed grief at tne funeral. He was shortly af terward taken Into custody by the police. Sheriff Peals and Commonwealth Attorney Baskerville have taken charge of the Investigation, but they do not Intimate that arrests are probable at a near future date. ADVERTISEMENT.
