The * < J charter given by Klug .lames I J t to what was known as the Lon- * t don company, under whose aus- , ' pices Jamestown and the later ' t Virginia settlements were found- t * ed, designated that this colony * t should extend '200 miles north t J and 200 miles south of Old J t Fol nt Comfort and stretch west- t J ward to the sea. Under the reign ' * ol Charles II lt was considered \ I J such an Important colony that lt * j * was called the fourth dominion t , of bis empire, that is, England, * J Scotland, Ireland and Virginia, t * From this Virginia was often ' ' called thc Old Dominion.

Washington, May 19.-The cholee of a successor to Edward Douglass White as Chief Justice of tho United States was one of the most widely discussed subjects to-day in official circles of tho capital. Although tho sp?culation centered chioily about tho natue of former President Wil liam Howard Taft, ibero wore many indications that President Harding was far from a decision and might lind the selection a difficult ono. One of tho first suggestions to cotna to tho surface in private dis cussions of the subject among mom bo rs of tho Senate, which must, con firm the nomination, was thal Mr. Taft bad disqualified himself by In sisting, when bo was Chief Execu tlvOi that no man over sixty yon rs of age should over be appointed to the, highest court. Mr. Taft will bo Ol in Sop tom ber. All indications pointed IO consld ot a bio delay in making the appoint ment.

Mr. Taft is known lo have boen long under consideration by Pres ident Harding as a possible Chief Justice, The former President bas several times declared that one of his groat regrets was thal fortune had cast his service in tho executive chair and not in the judicial branch of the government, and many of his friends already have started lo bring influence lo bear to have him ap pointed to the vacant Chief Justice ship.

Creoden, of (?oorge town University, administered the last sacrament during tho early eve ning a. :1 members of the immediate family wero summoned to the bed side. Death was said to be duo directly to complications which developed af ter the operation. Justice McKenna and others of Mr. White's associates ju tho Su premo Court called at tho hospital when it became known that his con dition was serious, but did not enter the room, as the Chief Justice was unconscious.
