Present: Mr. Justice Harlan, Mr. Justice White, Mr. Justice McKenna, Mr. Justice Holmes, Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice Lurton, and Mr. Justice Hughes. Mr. Justice Harlan, Presiding Justice, said: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Since the last term the Honorable Charles Evans Hughes has been appointed an associate justice of this court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Justice Brewer. Mr. Hughes is present and prepared to take the required oath of office. The court extends a most cordial welcome to the new member. The clerk will read his commission and administer the oath." The clerk then read the commission and Mr. Hughes took the oath of office and was escorted by the marshal to his seat on the bench. Mr. Justice Harlan continued: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Since its last session this court has sus- tained a very great loss. The earthly career of the Chief Justice has been closed by death. This sad event occurred on the 4th day of Juty of the present year at his summer residence, after nearly twenty- three years of continuous and distinguished service on this bench. He met the final summons with that calmness of spirit and compo- sure of mind that marked his whole life. From his early manhood he walked in the good way, uprightly before God and his fellow-men, and passed from this life into the life be}T ond the grave in the con- fident belief, I doubt not, that the Maker and Ruler of the Earth ordereth all things aright.

He was a Republican party leader in a strongly Democratic state who advocated unpopular and even radical policies with irritating directness and honesty, and with little interest in compromise. He was one of the first and most vigorous opponents of the prohibition amend­ ment to the u. s. Constitution. He attempted to develop trade with Russia during the early post-revolutionary years, and early recommended partial recognition of the new government.

What are Legacy Finding Aids? The following document is a legacy finding aid – a guide which has not been updated recently. Information may be outdated, such as the Historical Society’s contact information or exact box numbers for contents’ location within the collection. Legacy finding aids are a product of their times; language and terms may not reflect the Historical Society’s commitment to culturally sensitive and anti-racist language.

Wood Processed Date: April 2016 [Finding Aid last updated April 12, 2016] Clarence Bussey Hewes was born in Jeanerette, Louisiana, on February 1, 1890, to Harry Bartram and Nellie Bussey Hewes. The family also included Clarence’s two sisters, Amy (later Mrs. Robert Edmund Floweree) and Florence (later Mrs. Arthur Breese Griswold). Harry Hewes, a native of Texas, had come to Louisiana in the 1880s and made a fortune developing the local lumber industry. According to articles found in the scrapbooks, the Hewes were descended from a North Carolina family that included Joseph Hewes of Edenton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence who organized the first American naval force. Hewes attended the Dixon Academy in Covington, Louisiana; the University of Virginia (LL.B., 1914); and Tulane University (Bachelor of Laws in Civil Law, 1915). He came to Washington, D.C., in 1916, and in 1917-1918 served as private secretary to the Honorable Charles C. McChord, one of the commissioners heading the Interstate Commerce Commission. On February 10, 1919, he began a career at the Department of State, assigned as Third Secretary at the U.S. Legation in Panama. He then served at the U.S. embassies or legations in the Netherlands (1920-1922), and Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala (1922-1924), before being assigned as First Secretary at the embassy in Peking, China. He remained in China until 1930 when he was designated First Secretary at the embassy in Berlin, Germany.
