News and Couriar. Washington, November 115.? 1 would not be a great surprise her wen President Roosevelt to nam John (!. Capers as the successor o Judge Louis K. MoComas, of th Court of Appeals of Mie District o Columbia, who died a few days ago. When Mr. Capers returned t< "Washington this morning from Nov \ York, where he had been on import ant business, he learned for the lirs lime that hi* name was being wi.lel; used in criincetion with tin1 vacancy lli> stated that he was not an nppli cant lor that ollice, and did not. ex peel to be: iliat he prnferred to re turn to the practice of law in Wash ington as soon as he was relieved o the duties of the ollice of commission er of internal revenue. Notwithstanding this statement i is believed the president has him ii mind in connectioi^witih the vacancy and the appointment may go 1? bin unless a fight should be made b; i members o,f the Washington bar, sonn of wh<?m think that an older resi dent and one more closely idenlifiet with the District generally should re efive the appointment. Il is ii'.nlerMood that at the tiin< .Mr. Capers was appointed to the olTici of commissioner of internal revenu' lie was given to understand by tin president that the be.dowing of tin eommissionershio upon him was part ly 'because of the fact that hv had no | had square deal when relieved o the duties of district attorney ii South Carolina. Coming directly afte ^ his throw-down bv the de| :irtnieit o justice, it appeared to be a cotnpleti vindication for Mr. Capers. Tf tb< judgeship goes to him il will '?. sti. further evidence of the fact that 'In presiden' desires to ?'ii?l t w lati vc wroii" wes inflicted upon him whci be was dislodged from the distric attorney's ollice, and in recogniliot of his services to the "Republican par t ty as the national cotnmil'leeman fron p-.

I I lydrophnbia also presents aiolltei r\ illuslration of what modern scienci V can <lo.
