THE U. S. SUPREME COURT
Mr. White Not Sworn in as Q Justice
Today.
A Large Attendance In Anticipation
of That Event-seVerni Important
Decisions Handed Down.

The stuffy room of the Supreme Court
was crowded beyond its capacity at noon
today with people who expected to witness
the installation of new justice. Within
the railing sat several senatorial colleagues
of Senator White who had not learned Of
his decision to remain in the Senate for a
time. Most Of the spectators beyond the
railing were ladies, whose costumes were
becoming, and lent a touch of unwonted
color to the court room. There was much
disappointment manifested in their faces
when the justices filed into court, but seven
in number, Senator White failing to ap-
pear, and Justice Jackson. who is In Flori-
da for his health, being also absent. long
list of decisions in cases which had been
heard before the spring recess was announc-
ed, and before the end most of the visitors
had dropped out

put to unlawful use, and Justices Field and
Brewer concurred with him.
me claim or the Northern racine rail-
road to control of the tide lands and harbor
line along its land grants in the state Of
Washington, near Tacoma, was denied by
the Supreme Court today In a decision In
the case Of Presser and others against
the Northern Pacific. Justice Gray, who
delivered the opinion held the question to
be whether the charter giving land grants
to the railroad authorized 1t to monopolize
the harbor. The court held that every state
has the right to define its harbor lines and
hnildinO hon a M
eral system is necessary, and private par
ties could not be permitted to control
persons Of lines. The Injunction against
the harbor commissioners asked for was
denied, as against the public policy, the
lower court was sustained and the suit dis
missed.

remarked that the socialists would perhaps

The retort of the minister Of war was
greeted by loud cries of dissent on the part
of the socialists.
Continuing, Gen. Won Scheliendorf said
that discussion In the reichstag regarding
the alleged cruelty shown by army officers
toward private soldiers would be useless, as
the military authorities had the greatest in

argument Of counsel on the rule granted
by the court and returnable today requir-
Ing Robert Adrian. president of the demo-
cratic senate. and Maurice A. Rogers,

by what authority they are acting as pre-
siding officers of the rival senates. All of
the counsel expressed their satisfaction
with having the supreme court pass upon
the case finally.
MIR. McCarter of counsel for Mr.. Rogers
suggested that as counsel had but little op-
portunity to consult ii would save time
to defer the argument until they had con-
suited.
The court thought this a good sugges-
ton, but subsequently, owing to the un-
certainty of the time the argument would
occupy. it was decided to begin the ar
gument on Thursday morning.

This bill was passed by the House Deem

ing to add after the end of the bill as pass
ed by the House an amendment which
would obviate the difficulty. So that the
last clause of the bill will read as follows
THE entire cost of said connections shall
be paid from the current appropria lions
respectively for the extension of the sewer
and water supply systems and shall be as
sessed against the abutting property and
collected in like manner as assessments
which are levied under the compulsory rer-
nit system; the sum so collected shall be

Senator Allison today presented the
memorial of a number of property holders

against leave being given to any railroad
company to lay rails across Thomas Circle
in the line Of NJ street or Massachusetts

car tracks In two separate lines around the
circle and the converging there of traffic
up and down 14th street already renders
this location very dangerous to foot pas
sengers. To add cross line Of tracks
would be to intensity that danger to a de-
gree not to be tolerated" The petition Is
