Bismarck’s River Transporta- tion Facilities Appeal to Manager Thatcher FREE SITE IS PREREQUISITE!

No action was taken but Union leaders said the proposal would be considered. It was indicated that a free site and a subscription to the Union's stock or bonds might be made @ prerequisite to such a location. M. ‘W. Thatcher, general manager, said Bismarck has an advantage in that it is the only large city in the state with both rail and river transporta- tion facilities. Union leaders at the breakfast were Mr. Thatcher, of the terminal association, D, L. O'Connor, president of the terminal association, and C. C. Talbptt, president of the North Da- kota union.

May 8—(?)— Robert T. Jones, Jr. and the Prince of Wales today finished all square in an 18 hole golf match with Sir Philip Sassoon and Harrison R. John- ston, of St. Paul.

The prince, who knows a good golf- er when he sees one, chose another great American player for a partner last year, pairing with Walter Haven against Sir Philip Sassoon and Au- brey “Boomer, British professional. ‘The prince and Sir Walter were vic- torious, one up. f “What I like about the prince's. game,” said Walter afterward, “is his keenness and the clean way he hits the ball. He may hit a little over hard at times, but he watches the effect of each ghot and tries to better it.” HOOVER SILENT OVER SENATE'S REJECTION OF CAROLINA JURIST Confers With Senator Watson on Appointment to Vacant Supreme Court Post Washington, May 8.—()—President, Hoover continued today to maintain his silence upon the rejection by the senate of Judge John J. Parker for the supreme court. Shortly after the president reached his office, Vice President: Curtis called and discussed the situation. It was said at the white house that no decision had yet been reached wheth- er any statement would be made by the president at this time. It was in- dicated, however, that nothing would be said today. President Hoover is expected at the capitol to undertake immediately cols sideration of another appointment to the vacant post on the supreme court bench, with a view of sending it to the senate in time to obtain confirmation at this session. From some quarters it has been suggested to the president, that he withhold comment upon the Parker case until the new nomina- tion is sent to the senate. The president canvassed the situa- tion at a breakfast conference with Senator Watson, of Indiana, the Re- publican leader. Those now under consideration for the vacancy include Judges Arba 8. Vani Valkenburgh of Missouri, Wil- liam 8. Kenyon of Iowa, and John H. Cotteral, Oklahoma. The names of Fenton Whitlock Booth, of Illinois, chief justice of the federal court of claims, and Robert 8. von Moschizker, chief justice of the Pennsylvania supreme court, have been mentioned. Also one before the president is Newton D. Baker of Ohio, Prestdent Wilson's secretary of war, and John W. Davis, the Democratic presidential nominee in 1924, but sen- ate leaders appear convinced a Re- Publican will be ‘named. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor last night termed the senate’s action “a victory for justice, righteousness and human rights.” A dispatch from Raleigh, North Carolina, late last night said that a movement has begun to persuade Judge Parker to become a candidate for the senate in the elections of next fall. The legal period for filing such an intention has expired. This diffi- culty might be obviated by having the nominee of the Republican primary resign with the executive committee then naming Parker in his place.
