Washington Newspaper Men May At
tend the Sessions.

Washington, D. c., Dec 17-The
supreme court of the United States
abolished yesterday. one more of the
solemn restrictions with which it has
in that past hedged about its dignity
Newspaper correspondents may now
attend court in their professional ca
paciiies A notice was posted yester-
day in each Of the two press galleries
that, beginning with the merger hear
ing today a bench would be reserved
for newspaper men. Up to this morn
ing it was an ATTRACTION of the rules
TO make note Of any decision or OF
any proceedings before the court Any
man thoughtless enough to be caught
with a pencil and paper taking notes
in the supreme court of the United
States was sternly warned to desist,
and bad a man been rash enough to
persist in defiance Of the courts order,
no man may imagine what would have
happened to him. 4
This order of the court has always
been intensely annoying to newspaper
men Every Monday when the court
meets at noon It's decisions and its
orders are read, and newspaper men
have been eager to send to their pa.
pers bulletins announcing the news.
Heretofore they have always bsel
compelled to wait until they GOULD
copy the abstracts of opinions and ord
ers in the Office of the clerk of the
court. Now, however, they can, II
their ears are acute enough To hear
the decisions as read by the justices.
send out the news as fast as they can.
with due regard for the decorum Of
the court, get out Of the chamber and
into the telegraph Office.
1t is only within the last few years
that the supreme court has abandoned
another cherished tradition, that at
torneys addressing the court should
be attired in decorous black. Several
years ago. John Wise. one Of New
York's greatest lawyers, appeared be
fore the court in jaunty suit Of gray
The court was evidently panied, and
after a moments deliberation, Mr..
Wise was notified through the marshal
of the court that it was the custom OF
all attorneys to wear black when ap
pearing before it. Mr. Wise had nc
black clothes with him, but the mar
shal of the court found a remedy. He
borrowed a long black Prince Alber
coat from someoad.and Mr.. Wise, OF
donning it, found that it came down SC
low that when he stood before th'
court, the justices could not look ovei
the table far enough to see the small
remnant of the gray trousers tha
showed beneath the coat. AS the pro
prieties were thus observed, Mr.. Wis
made his argument and eventual,
won the case.
The court is gradually abandoning
these rules. 1t was announced a shor
time ago that statements addresse'
to the court would be received whel
written on typewriters. another limo
walton, against which the court he'll
out long time. The solemn gowns o
the justices probably never will b
abolished. nor the quaint formula wit
which the session Of the court Is open
ed every day.
