SENATETO PASS ON HOOVER NOMINEES FOR COURT POSTS Hitz, Groner and Aukam Suc cessors to Be Named After Confirmations. PROCTOR IS FAVORED TO FILL PLACE OF HITZ Five Persons Loom as Possible Ap- pointees to Eastern Virginia Distriet Tribunal. President Hoover tomorrow will send to the Senate for confirmation the nominations of Justices William Hitz of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and D. Lawrence Groner of the United States Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, to be ‘members of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, and of Judge George C. Aukam for another tetm on the Municipal Court of this The elevation of Justices Hitz of this city and Groner of Norfolk, Va., %o the Court of Appeals in Washington comes as no surprise. This was fore- cast in The Star several weeks ago. The places on the Court of Appeals to which they are being appointed are additional ones, having been created by an act of Congress a year 8go. Successors Are Suggested. Successors to these two PFederal jus- tices in their present positions will not be appointed by the President until the latter have been confirmed by the Senate. A number of these have been sug- gested for both the District Supreme Court place being vacated by Justice Hitz and the Virginia bench being va- cated by Judge Groner. It is under- stood that James M. Proctor, a local attorney, stands at the top of the list of those being considered by the Presi- dent to succeed Justice Hitz. He has been strongly recommended by the local Bar Association, the local Republican organizations as well as numerous indi- vidual lawyers, business men and citi- zens. Among those being considered for Justice Groner’s place are Luther B. Wade of Norfolk, J. Barton Philips, United States commissioner of Alexan- .: Robert H. Talley of Rich- mond, Braden Vandevanter of Norfolk and H. H. Rumble of the same city. Originally Named by Roosevelt. Judge Aukam’s re-appointment to the ‘Municipal Court is understood to be in recognition of his long and satisfactory Tecord there. Judge Aukam was origin- ally appointed to the court by President Roosevelt in 1909 when it was organ- ized. Judge Nathan Caton whose first term on the Municipal Court bench will ex- pire on February 6, is expected to be re-appointed when that time comes. 1t ls understood the gflpu&mflhe?zdox Justice is especially ple: Wi udge Oatcn’s record and will unhesitatingly recommend to the President his appoint- mens, for another term. Mr. Caton has been suggested for appointment to the District Supreme Court but it is be- lieved that his youth, eliminates him from serious consideration at this time. Judge Ca'on is 32 years old.

Several scores of members of the Racquet Club and dinner guests sat quietly throughout a fire in the kitchen of the club's quarters at 1135 Sixteenth street early last night while firemen battied the blaze. The flames were confined to the grease ventilator and chimney, but members of No. 1 Engine and No. 2 Truck Companies played water on the blaze for more than an hour before it was completely extinguished A rumber of diners and club mem- bers lotering in the lobby showed no signs of alarm when the fire engines arrived at th club with walling sirens and ronchalantly watched the firemen go_sbout their tasks. Pire officials said the blaze was caused by an overheated coal range beneath the ventilator and estimated the damage at approximately $100.

CHEST HAS DEFICIT OF 21822 WIT INCREASED NEED Falling Off of 1930 Pledge Payments Raises Difficulty for New Campaign. SURPLUS AND INAUGURAL FUNDS LACK THIS YEAR Work Crisis Means $200,000 to $250,000 More Required, Says Director. ‘The Community Chest closed the year with a deficit of $21,842.80, due to the falling off in payments of 1930 pledges during the latter part of December, Elwood Street, director of the Chest, announced yesterday. It looked as though the Chest would collect enough to meet its 1930 budgets to its agencies until the payments fell off sharply dur- ing the last few days of the 3 “There is still time to make these payments before the coming campaign,” Mr. Street said, “and the money is doubly needed at this time. We should be able to eliminate the deficit before the coming campaign and at the same time our organizations, which are con- ducted on the calendar year, must have money for their needs during the first month, before the campaign money comes in. $100,000 Surplus Last Year. “Last year the Community Chest had $100,000 surplus, left over from the 1929 Top: Justice William Hitz of the Dis- trict Supreme Court, who will be ap- pointed to the Court of Appeals.

TWO GROUPS HOL SETTLE A SUICIDE Poison Obtained for Cleaning Braid Declared Cause of Death. ‘The death of Lieut. Bruce Settle, 32-year-old White House naval aide, who was found dead last Monday at the Washington Navy Yard, was pro- nounced a suicide yesterday by two investigating bodles. One verdict was returned by a nav: board of inquiry and the other coroner’s jury ~impanel by Coroner Joseph D. Rogers. Poison Held Self-Administered. His death was attributed to self-ad- ministered poison, secured at the Navy Yard under the pretext of wanting it to_clean clothes. Detective Sergt. John W. Wise told the coroner’s jury that as & result of an investigation he belleved Lieut. Settle was driving the automobile which ran through a safety zone at Connecticut avenue and Tilden street last Sunday, injuring four persons. Millard M. DeNeale, Navy Yard chemist, told the jury he gave Lieut. Settle a four-ounce bottle of the poison fluid when the officer said he wanted to use it in cleaning the gold braid on his trousers. He said Lieut. Settle was in good spirits at that time, about an hour before he was found dead. The board, headed by Capt. P. W. Foote and convened by Capt. Claude C. Bloch, commandant of the Washing- ton Navy Yard, reached this official opinion: Death Held Misconduct. “The board, from a view of the body and from the evidence before it, iden- tified the body as that of Bruce Settle, late lieutenant, U. S. Navy, and is of the opinion that Bruce Settle, late lleutenant, U. S. Navy, died, at about 12 o'clock noon, on December 29, 1930, at the U. 8. Navy Yard, Washington, D. C.. while on duty at that station, by reason of cyanide poisoning, due to self-administration of poison, and that his death occurred not in the line of duty and was the result of his own| misconduct, sald misconduct being sul- cide while of a sane mind.” The Navy Department made the find- ings of the board public, after they had been forwarded by Captain Bloch. The board did not concern itself with Il'hy Lieut. Settle committed suicide. HEART ATTACK IS FATAL | TO MAN PLAYING CARDS Russell James Brooks, 73-year-old re- tired Virginia farmer of 4315 Eighth street, died suddenly of an acute heart attack last night as he sat at a family card-party table at the home of Thomas J. Jones, a friend, 209 Rhode Island avenue northeast. According to his son, Harold Brooks, who also was a guest at the Jones home, the first hand of a four-table game of 500 had just been played when Mr. Brooks was stricken. A physician mm:lunced the elderly man dead on his arrival. campaign. This was used at the begin- ning of the year to supply Chest orga- nizations with funds, and was not re- placed, as we falled to reach our goal. Our Budget Committee foresaw the un- employment situation and |provided, through family welfare organizations, to meet it, and this took every penny that had been subscribed, even had we made full collections. The failure of & few at the present time to complete their payments left the Chest with a deficit. “In the meantime, the unemployment situation has become worse. Our family | o i relief organizations will require more money to meet the demands caused by increased unemployment and the natu- ral growth of the city. Allowing for the fact that we will not receive the $50,000 Inaugural Committee gift this year and that our $100,000 surplus was used last year, it can be readily seen that the Chest must raise from $200,000 to $250,000 more than was raised last year if the welfare needs of Washington are to be adequately met.

Nobody knows where they all went, as no records were kept in any one place as to their new destinations. A careful survey by The Star, however, has disclosed the new business addresses of 102 out of the 169 who lelt Centcr Market. Several are out of busingss or not yet re-established.
