Searching for Men to Take
Places of Holmes, Dawes
And to Fill Boards
By JOHN F. CHESTER
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. P)
President Hoover today set out upon
a major ninnhunt. seeking to round
out a list of ten diplomats, financiers
and men of legal mind to fill as many
existing and probable vacancies.
Faced with a suddenly swelling
number of high posts aV -ady unten
anted or about to be'..:, j vacant the
president has dozer" ; names before
him. Others today .ere plnced upon
his desk. Their bifting will requise
weeks and perhaps months.
Talk centered principally In the
cnpital upon a successor to Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes of the su
preme court who resigned yesterday.
It formed an undertone for the con
tinuing praise of him as the grand old
man of American jurisprudence.
Within the White House there was
much discussion of a successor to
Ambassador Dawes in London and at
the Geneva arms conference: of some
one to take Ambassador Forbes' place
in Tokio; of a follower for Governor
Theodore Roosevelt in Porto Rico; of
a new member of the Radio commis
sion. There was search, too. for men to
fill at least four prospective director
ships in the proposed $2,000,000,000
reconstruction corporation. The pres
ident hopes to have them chosen by
the time congress approves the plnn.
New names constantly entered the
talk today of a successor to Justice
Holmes. One was that of Federal
Judge Curtis Dwight Wilbur, former
secretary of the navy, brother of Sec
retary Wilbur of the interior depart
ment, and now upon the circuit bench
in California.
There wns equally prominent spec
ulation upon Attorney General Mit
chell, the democratic member of the
president's cnbinet: Newton D. Baker,
of Ohio, possible democratic presiden
tial candidate; Chief Justice Benja
min N. Cardoso of the New 5"ork
stnte court of appeals, often mention
ed as of supreme court timber; and
Federal Judge Willinm S. Kenyon. of
lown, a member of the Wickershnm
commission.
In the sennte cloakroom conversa
tion the names of Senators Walsh of
Montana, and Bratton of New Mexico,
both democrats, recurred.
Henry P. Fletcher, former choir
iman of the tariff commission and be
fore that ambassador to Italy, often
in mentioned as a successor to Dnwes
at the Court of St. James. Others
suggested ore Frederick W. Peck, re
publican national committeeman from
lihodo Island, and Willinm Butler of
Massachusetts, former chairman of
the republican national committee.
Weather -
ml A kt-WILL'
in the second place, the successful
predictions, which, as just explained,
must be numerous, produce a more
lasting Impression thnn those that are
unsuccessful.
The onlr possible check npon self
delusion in this respect is to write
down dnv by day the prediction and
the actual weather and nt the end of a
month or a venr to count the number
of successes. The process Is earnestly
recommended to persons who still
retain more or less faith in the alma
nacs. ,
It mlcht be well enough to leave In
the almanacs the weather forecasts
provided every almanac maker would
have the prace to append to his pages
thj following frank avowal, which ap
peared in Gabriel Frendo's Almanak
and Prognostication for 1"!I:
'Thou hast my guess at dnily weather
Here pre-ent in thr view.
Mv credit shnll not lie thereon
That every word I" true:
Tet some to please I t! ought It best
To shew my minde among the reste.
TOMORROW: 'Tbs year without
summer.''

Budget Allowances for
Year, He States
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 13. (U.R) The
board of control order regarding use
of automobiles on state business out
side of regular business hours and
on Sundays will stand without altera
tion and amendment. Governor Meier
declared today.
Any case In which It Is impractical
to comply with the restrictions for
bidding the use of ears before 8
o'clock In the morning or after 6!
o'clock in the afternoon or on Satur-j
day afternoon or holidays Is ade
quately covered by the "emergency"
clause in the order, the governor
said.
"I don't care to hear any com
plaint or criticism of the order," the
executive declared when several let
ters from department bends dealing
with the order were presented to the
board of control.
No Parties on State
"The order is an economy measure
and will save thousands of dollars
to the state. If auy department finds
that it is necessary to use a state
automobile on regular business out
side regular hours all that is neces
sary is to file a Btntement covering
the situation with the control board.
"There Is no intention or desire
on the part of any one to hamper
the work of any state department or
institution. All that we want to do
is to eliminate some of the abuses
which wo know have grown up
about the use of state owned cars
such as week-end parties and the
like."

islation, the veteran cabinet member
of three republican administrations
snid:
"We are In the midst of a grave

"Tills Inst objective is of paramount

CHANGE IS SURPRISE

Ellsha Large became mayor of Eu

nation of H. E. Wilder Tuesday night
at a special meeting of the council.
Wilder resigned to take the position
of building Inspector after the council
refused to confirm the appointment of
K. W. Rundlett.
The cause of the resignation was
Mr. Wilder's belief that ba could no
longer afford the mayor's position. He
urged the council to retain Rundlett
and resubmitted his name for the
building post. The council asked the
mayor to take Rnndlett's job, after
first finding the .former Inspector a
position with the water board aa In
spector at the filtration plant.
Request Is Unusual
The request that Mr. Wilder take
tho building job was a new develop
ment which happened to the former
mayor when he found that his nomi
nee, Rundlett, would not be consid
ered by the council, The name of Gra
hum Smith was suggested to the coun

The office of building Inspector
