MORE QUEER ANTICS
ROOSEVELT SLlGHTS THE SU-
PREME COURT AT STATE
DINNER.
Members Of judicial Body I'll Treated
at White House Dinner in
Their Honor.
JUDGES ARE RED HOT OVER 1T,

Washington. Jan. 25.-Chief Justice
Fuller and the associate justices of
the United States supreme court are
angry over the way in which they
were treated at ,Ae White House last
Friday night. The occasion was the
second presidential reception, which
was given ostensibly in honor Of the
judiciary. By all the rules of etiquette
and courtesy, the supreme court
should have precedence over all other
guests, particularly at the judicial re-
ception. But when Chief Justice Full
Ter and his associates, together with
their families, assembled in the red
room of the executive mansion at 9
o'clock they found the diplomatic ccrps
there ahead of them
When the doors of the blue room
in which the receiving party stood,
was thrown open Chief Justice Fuller
moved to take his place at the head
of the line. followed by Mrs. Fuller
ard the other members of the court
The distinguished jurists were met oy
Major McCawley of the United States
Marine corps, the presidents aid. who
calmly Informed Justice Fuller that ne
would have to wait until the members
of the diplomatic corps had passed
thTGIJCh n1
but the major continued obdurate AS
the diplomats present included practi-
cally every ambassador and minister
in Washington as we'll as secretaries
of legations and ether attaches, it was
a full half-hcur before Chief Justice
Fuller could proceed into the blue
room.
Meantime the judicial party discuss
ed the situation Indignantly. Every
body agreed that it was disgraceful,
and Major McCawley received dress
ing down from Chief Justice Fuller
and Justice Harlan that he will prob
ably never forget. Justice Harlan tow
cred menacingly. head and shoulders
above the presidents aid He said
that never in all his experiences at
the capital had he been subjected to
such humiliation. Chief Justice Full
Ter wanted to know when McCawley
had been appointed social director at
the White House that he should give
the diplomatic corps precedence over
the supreme court, especially at a re-
ception in hcnor of the latter.
When the judicial party finally pass
ed down the receiving line they were
angry and disgusted and Immediately
aftelward left the White House. Now
the presidents friends are trying to
explain mast nights blunder, but the
jurists refuse to be placated They
feel sure that McCawley acted under
orders from his superiors. Secretary
Loeb and President Roosevelt, and
therefore held them responsible for the
treatme ent accorded them at the exec
utive mansion. 1t will probably be
many long day before the United
States supreme court again honOrs the
White House with its presence.
