List of Candidates for the Appoint- ment—Court Acting Deliberately— The Possible Selection. “Either we will appoint a warden of the jail tomorrow or the executions set for Thursday next at the jail will be postponed until the office is filled,” said Chief Justice Bingham to The Star reporter today. “I do not think, however, that there will be any need to suspend the hangings,” the chief justice added, “as it is more than likely we will have agreed upon a warden.” Chief Justice Binghem had been asked if, failing to select a warden, the deputy would be empowered to act as such. There- fere it is evident from his reply that there is no such intention. District Attorney Davis states that the statute only nan.es a warden to have the care of the jail, and that even admitting that there is a Ceputy, the latter cannot act in the absence of the other. “There can be no deputy when the head is away,” sententiously remarked Mr. Da- vis. The need of a warden to carry out the death senterce in the case of murderers Strather and Smith Thursday next there- tere is practically forcing an_ immediate appointment by the justices. The matier will come before the Supreme Court about 11 o'clock tomorrow, and it 1s believed the new warden’s nzme will be announced shertly after the noor recess. Incrensing Interest. Constantly increasing interest in the ap- pointment is being shown at the city hall. Representative Landis of Indiana, accom- panied by his candidate, Captain Harris, called upon Justice McComas and Chief Justice Bingham today. Mr. Austin Herr also presented his application, indorsed by a number of influential citizens. “Captain” James McDevitt, the well- known detective, also presented his own claims to several of the justices, with whom he is personally acquainted. . General S. S. Yoder, former sergeant-at- arms of the House, submitted his applica- tion to the chief justice. Another candidat2 is Frank W. Miller, a real estate dealer, with an office on 15th strect. Deputy James Springman, the guard, is being pushed by high influence in the district attorney's office, and his favor- able record fs of value. Crier W. C. Carroll of Criminal Court No. 2, also, would like the place and is regarded with favor by some of the Supreme Court. Deputy Warden Russ’ right to the place by virtue of civil service reform is admit- ted by all the other candidat but it is not likely, judging frcm conversations with those who make the appointment, that he will be honored, although his fine qualities and efficiency are the subj of commen- datory remarks. Perry Carson is seeking the office, and is a persistent caller upon the chief justice. Chief Justice's View. In another talk with The Star reporter Chief Justice Bingham said: “We have been moving slowly in the mat- ter, as we regard the Office as of great im- portance. We want a good man to fill it. The trouble is that the salary is too small. A good man should get $3,5 only an act of Congress can increase it. c Few applica- a ‘The office may not be given to an applicant. If we can think of a good man we will ask him to accept our offer, even if he has never thought of applying. “I do not think Former Marshal Rans- dell 1s interested in the matter; at least, I have had no talk with him. The justices are most anxious to appoint a wise, hu- mane, intelligent man, and there is need for us to go slow. No, the question of home rule has never been considered, nor ed as a home-rule have always been selected, with- out regard to their le; residcnee, and we shall follow that rule in this instance. The force now at the is an excellent one. Few changes a and then only for the gccd of the ice. Some have been there thirty ye: The new warden will be appointed for four full years.” Power of the Court. mad ‘The law invests the Supreme Court of the District with authority to appoint the warden or to remove him whenever the public interest requires it. The term of service is four years, and the 'y $1,800 per annum. No fees or other emoluments are allowed him. Before entering upon his duties the warden must give a bond to the United States in the penal sum of $5,000. ‘The warden fs given exclusive supervision and control of the jail, and is held account- able for the safekeeping of all the prison- ers. He has the power to appoint all the subordinate officers, guards and employes, subject to the approval of the chief justice. His report is made annually, in November, to the Secretary of the Interior. The rules for the government and discipline of the Jail are prescribed by the court. > NO WARRANTS PROCURED. Officers Not Ready to Test the Liquor Law. So far as could be ascertained today the police have not yet sworn out warrants for alleged violators of the law prohibiting the sale of liquor to soldiers or volunteers which was published in yesterday's St: ‘The publication in The Star of the probable action ef the police in the matter fright- ened many of the saloon keepers, and the thirsty soldiers from Camp Alger found last night that there was some trouble to be encountered in getting quid refreshments. This law, of course, applies only to the District of Columbia, and not to Jackson City and Rosslyn, across the river. One prominent saloon keeper, speaking to a Star reporter this morning, said he had refused to serve soldiers who had called at his place this morning to get drinks. The law may be gcod or it may. not, he sail, but he objected to taking any chances of og Henty Books for boys, entirely new cially for cyclists. lines—many new titles never sold before for leas than $1.50. 24 ti- tles, " beautifully bound. as 2 val.

Mr. Frank Madigan, representing the Na- tional Capital Brewing Company, speaking to a Star reporter today, said he felt cer- tain that the act of 1861 had been repealed by that of 1893. When the act of 1893 was pending before the committees of Congress the whole question of the liquor traffic was discussed, and the law says to whom the dealers shall and shall not sell, In framing the act, he says, Congress took cognizance of the law prohibiting the sale of liquor in the mile limit and put in a_ repealing clause. He says he thinks that if Congress intended to hold the law of 1861 intact they would have said 60, as they did in case of the mile limit law. In conclusion he said he is ready to defend any dealer against whom complaint is made. —_+—_—_ Accomplished. From Puck.
