Attorney General Philander C. Knox reports that the bill he prepared at the request of John James Jenkins has gone to the House. Knox does not believe the President should continue to consider the man he mentioned for the judgeship, probably referring to an opening on the United States Supreme Court. The justice Knox consulted now strongly inclines to the Canton man.
