McKenna took his seat on the bench Of
the supreme court of the United States
yesterday as an associate justice. The
official ceremony inducing him into
this important office consumed less than
four minutes, and was simple in the
extreme. He walked into the court
room, bringing up the rear of the pro-
cession of justices. He, like all the
other members of the court, wore a

mony was very simple, consisting of
the taking of the oath, and at its con-
clusion the new justice took his seat

Washington, June Steps have
been taken by which it is expected
chat Lieut.. Carranza, who has conduct
ed the Spanish spy system from Mon
lreal with his associate, Senior DuBosc,
former first secretary Of the Spanish
legation here will be expelled from
Canada and within the next few days
unless they adopt their own means OF
leaving before an International question
is raised as to their presence in Can
ada. The CarranZa letter, detailing his
spy system. was communicated to the
British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. together with all other informa-
ton bearing on the operations OF the
Spanish officials in Canada. The am
bassador was quick to act in the mat
ter. and without waiting the slow pro-
cess of the mail he cabled the entire
matter to the foreign office. No doubt
is entertained as to the speedy action
of the authorities in London, now that
a specific case has been made out
against the Spanish officials in Can
ida
Aside from the official action Of the
British government, it is quite likely
that the Canadian officials will take
come action against Carranza and Du-
Bose under the Canadian statutes
