Senator James Hamilton -Lewis blew , blithely 'Into Washington ami out . again a4, few days ago, leaving behind ' him a political Item of .considerable Interest. : John W. Kern, senator from Indiana,, administration leader in the ', senate, said Lewis,-may be the sue cessor .of ,. J udgs Grosscup on the United -States circuit court xf appeals bench hi the district embracing Illinois and Indiana. : Inasmuch' as Senator .Lewis doubtless will have influence In - the selection of the man for this place , and since Kern himself has the con- fldenoe of the president, if Kern wants ' the place it seems likely he will get -; It although he says positively he does ' ' not. ' His small son's continual 111 health has . made the Indiana senator anxious to be nearer borne. Is one reason given for Kern's willingness to . forsake active political llf ( for the bench. Chances are, Indiana's strenuous i politics have finally begun to wear on s the "old war horse," as Hoosler Demo ; 1 crat affectionately term. bim. Kern led one hopeless fight after another in Indiana, the senatorshlp being his first . tangible reward. He will retain his Beat there only after another fight for It, In7 spite of the fact that be Is prob , 'ably the moat popular man In Indiana . public iffe today..

The Question of a successor : to Kern, - should he leave the senate, opens MP a big question, gome time ago when If was believed ' that his colleague, ' . Senator Shively, was at the point of death, the report gained circulation that Governor Ralston- was prepared to nam Tom Taggert to fill the place r- pending an election.! Governor Ral . ston's-ldentlty as a Taggart man made the story, seem probable. : The rumor died with Senator Shively's gain In health, but it paved the way (or re- , , newed speculation in case Kern re- ' tires. .

DANIELS CHE RISHES PLAN OF NAVY THAT; CAN SUPPORT SELF Secretary Would Have Gov ernment Build Own Ships, Armor and Supplies, , By . Bond P. Geddes. - Washington, D. d, June 30. (TJ. P.) A "self supportlpg navy, making its own battleships, ; torpedo boats, -- sub marines, torpedoes, projectiles.! armor plate, powder and all war supplies, is the ideal of Secretary . of the Navy Daniels. ' : . r- Today ' he outlined to me bis hopes of a naval Utopia He believes it is not only possible but probable that, with proper financial 'assistance and approval from congress, realization of bis plans may be reached before the end of the present' administration. . ' "Of course we never expect to manu facture all of our own materials fo the -navy; we will probably always buy a ' certain amount of supplies needed, but it is my hope that the navy will be ejuipped to make in part all of the supplies- it uses, Secretary Daniels : "By manufacturing1 our own ' sup plies we are not only largely inde pendent of private manufacturers, avoid being- heid up' in prices, but also destroy the incentive of privato manu facturing; Interests : to bring-' pressure upon congress for large appropriations in the interest of the private profit It is Secretary Daniels', Idea that if the naVy is equipped to make its own supplies, private manufacturers will not, . when - congress comes : to ap propriating t money for them, feel that es a matter of course the' contracts will be let to them. It would then be uncertain . whether the 'money .would be Spent - in government navy ' yards or private manufacturing plants. -The "hounding" of congress for large ap propriations would .. then be largely avoided ,t - ' - , Cm of -Powder Cljed.

' -"By making all of our own supplies we will in the same way be able to ascertain ; Just -what . they cost and Just what profit private manufacturers are making; - on supplies sold to ,the navy." . Secretary Daniels said his plans did not embrace a "government monopoly" in making navy suppU es. similar to those v of foreign nations. He, merely proposes that the navy . make part . of each and ever article " Important to its sustenance. . - . .'- "Soon we shall have sufficient capa city -,in , our own jpowdor plants," he said.!.
