: : SUPREME COURT OE THE UNITED STATES. Monday, October 12, 1914. The Court met pursuant to law. Present: The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice McKenna, Mr. Justice Hohnes, Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice Hughes, Mr. Justice Van Devanter, Mr. Justice Lamar, and Mr. Justice McKeynolds. The Chief Justice said " It gives me pain to say that since the court adjourned at the end of the last term it has come to pass that the nation may no longer enjoy the fruitful and beneficent results to arise from the continued enlightened and devoted discharge by Mr. Justica^Lurton of his public duties. He died at Atlantic City on thd^ dm day of July. In addition to the sorrow which they share with their country- men at so great a loss, the members of the Court have suffered the pang caused by the severance of the close personal ties which bound them to Mr. Justice Lurton ; ties the strength of which can not be fully appreciated without understanding how completely his attain- ments and his lovable traits of personal character commanded the respect and drew to him the warm affection of those who had the privilege of being associated with him in the performance of his judicial duties. "In the month of August the Hon. James Clark McKeynolds was appointed an Associate Justice of this court, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Justice Lurton, and on the 3d day of September the oath of office required by section 1756 of the Revised Statutes was administered to Mr. McKeynolds by the Chief Justice. The new Justice is present to-day, and before he takes his seat the Clerk will read the commission and will administer to him the oath pointed out by section 257 of the Judicial Code; that is, the judicial oath." The Clerk then read the commission, and Mr. McKeynolds took the oath of office, and was escorted by the Marshal to his seat on the Bench. The Chief Justice continued " To enable the members of the court to pay their respects in a body to the President, as has been the usage from the beginning, the court will adjourn to-day without transacting business until the 65349—14—1 ; usual hour to-morrow. All motions, therefore, which are noticed for to-day will stand over until to-morrow, Avhen the call of the docket will be begun. Before adjourning to-day, however, applications for admission to the bar will be entertained, as well as any other formal motion which may be disposed of as a matter of course," Mr. Solicitor General Davis presented the Hon. Thomas Watt Gregory, Attorney General of the United States, and it was ordered that his commission be recorded. Warren Grice, of Hawkensville, Ga. Hugh H. Brown, of Tonapah, ; Nev. ; M.
