Additional Information received

Justice Strong, OF the United
States Supreme Court, will retire
from the bench before the fret Of
January and Justice Swayne in
tends to retire as soon as Str0ng's
successor shall have been confirm
ed by the Senate. They are both
eligible for retirement on full pay,

have served ten years. They can.
not both leave the bench at, the

constitutional quorum of the Su-
preme Court, which ia six Of the
total nine, because Justices Clifford
and Hunt are each physically, II
not, also, mentally, unable to per-
form any judicial labor. Although
permanently disabled, neither
Clifford nor Hunt 10 willing to re-
sign, the first having long ago de.
clared that he would not retire un-
less he could be succeeded by =
Democrat, and Hunt being not yet
eligible to retirement with pay. II
they do not resign, or II Justice
Hunt Is not provided for by q spe-
ciai act Of Congress, there is some
probability that law will be
passed providing for the appoint.
ment Of two additional members Of
the Supreme Court, whose places
should not be filled until the total
number lie reduced again to nine.
This would give the Court Its full
complement of membership, both
before and after the death or re.
tirement Of Clifford and Hunt. It
is practically certain that ex.Sena.
tor Stanley Matthews will succeed
Justice Swayne, and 1t Is for this
reas0n that he has withdrawn from
the contest for the Ohio Senator
