A REVIEW OF THE FIELD eee ee The ist of October, the day on which it was some time ago reported that a suc- cessor to District Attorney Henry E. Davis would be appointed, has passed without the appointment being made, and the general impression about the city hall is that Mr. Davis will not be relieved until after Con- gress meets. Indeed, there.are many at- torneys and court officiats who believe that dt is by no means improbable that the President will allow Mr. Davis to serve the usual term of four years. In this connection it may be stated that the impression at the city hall is no less general that Register of Wills J. Nota Mc- Gill will be permitted by the President to serve a term of four years. Mr. McGill's successor, it is quite generally believed, will be his predecessor, Levi P. Wright. Of course, no one doubts that Marshal Albert A. Wilson will remain in office un- til his term of four years expires, early next January, and, while it would appear that Mr. Hahn of Ohio will be his suc- cessor, about every man ins the District, republicans and democrats alike, hope and a great many believe that Col. M. M. Parker will be the next United States mar- shal of the District. Quict Fight in Progress. On the presumption that District Attor- ney Davis’ successor will be named soon after Congress meets a quiet but none the less determined fight is being made for the place. By common consent ex-Gov- ernor Alphonso Hart, formerly of Ohio, but for a number of years a resident here or in the immediate vicinity of Washington, is regarded as the leading applicart. It is stated on the best of authority that the President has virtually told Governor Hart that he shall . ucceed Mr. Davis if he can secure the indorsement of the District bench and bar. The governor's friends say that he will secure such an indorse- ment, the friends of the other candidates, of course, denying that he can. Another original Ohio man who ts con- sidered a formidable candidate is Mr. Thos. C. Taylor, the brother of Representative Taylor of Ohio. Mr. Taylor has practiced long and successfully here, and whia he is not making an active contest for the place, he is regarded at the city hall as being very much in the race. Mr. Charles Maurice Smith is another man who is looked upon as having an excellent chance. He is a native of Virginia, but has lived and practiced law here for more than twenty years. His friends claim that he is a thoroughly ecuipped man, and that he will be more strongly indorsed by the local bench and bar than will a:y of the other candidates. Mr. E. H. Thomas is understood to be willing to succeed Mr. Davis, and his friends assert that with Gov. Hart out of the way he will be appcinted. He is one of the younger members of the bar, a na- tive of the District, and is regarded as an excellent lawyer. Mr. Ashley M. Gould, another young and accomplished member of the bar, is also spoken of for the place. The Police Judgeship. The repcrted claim of the friends of Po- lice Court Judge Ivory G. Kimball that he has no opperent in his application for re- appointmert is rot by any means admitted by the friends of Justice of the Peace John H. O'Donnell. Indeed, ’Squire O’Don- nell’s friends say that not only has Judge Kimball an opponent, but also one who will beat him for reappointment. That one, the squire’s friends of course say, is John H. O’Donrell. Speaking to a Star reporter this after- noon, a member of the bar who claims to know, said: “Why, my dear, sir, that man O'Donnell has the strongest possible backing for Judge Kimball's place. Behind him he has the Secretary of State, Senators Hanna and Feraker, and every other republican mem- ber of the Ohio ccngressional delegation. Besides that, another member of the cabi- net, a most influential one, by the way, has assured O'Donnell that his support for the place can be relied on whenever neces- sary. “[ am also informed that Attorney Gen- eral McKenna is very favorably impressed with ‘Squire O'Donnell, and it is claimed that he will recommend his appointment when Judge Kimball's term of six years expires, early next December. "Squire O'Donnell cam here from Ohio about fif- teen or twenty years ago, I am told, and after engaging in mercantile business for several years studied law. 2 “He graduated from the National Uni- versity Law School and was appointed justice of the peace in September, 1892, by President Harrison, being reappointed by President Cleveland. There Are Others. Judge Kimball and ‘Squire O'Donnell are not expected to be the only candidates for the Police Court bench, and a lively fight for the place is looked for. Those who be- lieve that Gcv. Hart will fail to succeed District Attoraey Davis, suggest him as Judge Kimball’s successor. Mr. C. M. Smith is also pointed to as a man who would make an excellent Police Court judge. ——— Favorite Line to Baltimore Is the Pennsylvania railroad. Round trip tickets next Surday only $1.—Advt. Eas BALL PLAYERS DRAFTED. Minor League Stars Wanted by Na- tional League a. « President Young of the National League has been notified of the following drafts from the minor leagues by the big organi- zation: Washington takes Seybold and Hannivan of the Lancaster, Pa., club; Frank Cobb of Pawtucket and William Donovan of Waterbury. Brooklyn takes Barnes of Milwaukee; Clevelard, Esterquert of Rockford, Il; Chicago, Woods of Springfield, Mass., and Myers of Toledo; Boston, Atherton of Wilkesbarre and Kiester of Patterson; Phil- adelphia, Frick and Piatt of Dayton. ‘An interesting little story hinges on the drafting of Seybold ard Hannivan from the Lancaster club by Mr. Wagner. Char- ley Snyder has been umpiring all season in the Atlantic League an has been watching the two men all season. He held a con- ference with Mr. Scanion, the old-time magnate, and they concluded to recommend these two players to the Washington man- agement. Mr. Wagner told The Star rep- resentative that he was taking tiese men solely on the recommendation of Messrs. Snyder and Scanlon, and the laiter are perfectly willing to bear che responsibility. Snyder tays Seybold is a wonderful fielder and bitter and that his only defect ig that he is not as fast as the best on his feet, although he is not slow. Hanrivan at third, Snyder says, outranks Elberfield as a hitter and sprinter and ts his equal as a fielder. Should these predictions turn out right Mr. Wagner can consider him- self in great luck. —_—_-—__ ‘ Columbia Athletic Club Tennin.
