Chief Justice Fuller Calls a Halt on
Presidents Spelling.
Tells Solicitor He Must Use the Old
Supreme Court Used in Briefs.

Chief Justice Fuller, OF the United
States Supreme Court rendered informal
ly from the bench yesterday morning
an opinion" that Knocked the spelling
reform silly Incidentally Solicitor Gen
eral Hoyt, of the Department of Justice,
was put In "a very embarrassing position
in trying to defend President Roosevelt
as the champion of the reform. and vet
not to offend the Chief Justice.
The incident came up at the close Of
an argument the Solicitor General was
making in the case Of the United States
against Theodore Dalcour, involving the
possession of thousands of acres of land
in Florida
Turning to Mr.. Hoyts brief. the Chief
Justice inquired, with much dignity:
Does this purport to be a correct quo
tation from the opinion Of Justice Brad
ley?'
For a minute Mr.. Hoyt was perplexed.
Then the Chief Justice called his atten-
tion to a certain page and certain line
where appeared in bold type that looked
to the solicitor to be six inches tall the
word thru
For the next few minutes Mr. Hoyt
explained that. while in order to comply
with executive order the department had
been spelling according 10 the reform
method, as far as the body Of its briefs
were concerned. that it had endeavOred
10 have the quotations printed as they
are spelled in the opinions. The Chief
Justice nodded in affirmation. Mr.. Hoyt
continued that that Government Printing
Office changed the spelling of this par
ticular word, and persisted in spelling 1t
that way. although il has been sent back
for correction He assured the court that
this would be the last time in which the
spelling of an opinion by the SuDreme
Court Of the United States would be al
tered by the depar; nent-
This seemed satisfactory to the court
and the argument by other counsel was
then heard.
