Appoint ment of .Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille brandt, now an assistant attorney general, to the vacancy in the federal court for northern California, is un derstood to be under consideration by President Coolidge. Mrs. Willebrandt, who has been in charge of prohibition cases in t he department of justice, called on Mr. Coolidge today and although uo offi cial announcement was made , there were indications that her nomina tion as the first woman to sit as a federal judge might go to the capitol j shortly.
