Mr.. Cleveland made his appearance ct
the capitol about noon, accompanied by
his legal ASSOCIATED, Messrs. DeGrAy and
Semmes. As soon as his presence in the
court room became known Democratic
congressman, in groups OF two, three
and i've, ignored the colored usher at the
court room door and pressed into the
aRcred precincts of the bar and paid their
respects to their recognized leader. The
space reserved for casual visitors was also
crowded to Its fullest capacity, and the
hun OF conversation was so loud that the
orier OF the court was obliged to rap for
silence. The dignified chisf justice AID
hio associate did not appear to be as much
annoyed by the unusual proceedings in
the court room as did the ooloted guar
dian Of the Inner door. MIR. Cleveland
endured the ovation for few minutes
and then Withdrew to the Office OF the
HSCAdthAy Vi Iut DCuALb, Nh6E6 bEult-
cratic and Republican Eenators called
upon him and paid their respects.
To-day Was the last day of the present
term to hear arguments, and the menu
bors OF the court were disposed to facil-
itate business as much IS possible in
order that the ex President might be
heard. His case is No. 329 on the
docket, and 1t involves the question of
zh al. d.
aued by the city Of New Orleans shall be
redeemed. The first case called for
argument to-day was 1926, involving q
question OF insurance. Under the rules
OF the court four hours is allowed for
argument. A youthtul-looking Oincin-
natl lawyer opened the case and seemed
inclined to take advantage OF the dis
tinguished audience which the express.
ident had drawn to deliver spresd-saglo
address. When he had proceeded about
an hour whispered consultation among
the judges took place, and they decided
to stop him. The chief Justice then au-
nauDoed that the court did / care to
hear further argument in the case, as the
facts were SO clear that the deoigion Of
the lower court would have to be con-
fined.
