JUSTICE REBUKES
ACCUSING LAWYER
Attorney Bacon of New York Is
Checked During Argument
in Supreme Court

WAS -INGTON, Dec. 2.-Declaring
that under the last two adminlstra-
tions it had been necessary, in order
to "be a great soldier, to bow to the
scepter and be a lickspittle, Alexan-
der II. Bacon. an attorney of New
York, today stirred the supreme court
of the United States.
With some Indignation, Associate
Justice White interrupted the lawyer
with an objection to what he termed
aspersions on a coordinate branch of
the government. Mr.. Bacon withdrew
his statements with apologies.
The attorney was arguing that the
courts of the District of Columbia had
erred in refusing to compel the war
department officials to bring. into
court for examination the records in
the case of Second Lieutenant Wins
lo-- Hart Reeves, artillery corps, and
to reinstate him.
REFLECTION ON JURIsTS
Mr.. Bacon claimed Reeves had suf-
fered from nervous exhaustion while
serving in the Philippines, and that
his physical condition entitled him to
retirement on three-fourths pay, In
stead, through the efforts of alleged
enemies in the war department, it was
claimed by Mr.. Bacon that Reeves
Hdu peeh uislillsseo Win OiiiS ol0
years pay.
In this day of Imperialism" said
Mr.. Bacon, "it seems to be a feeling
even among judges that the president
of the United States can do anything.
The time was when an officer would
spurn the idea of promotion through
his wife's influence Things have
changed now
In d brief filed in the court in the
case, Mr. Bacon said that Lieut..
Reeves dismissal would be blot up
on the fair name of military justice.
IF such methods are to prevail"
said he, "every officer will feel that
his commission is unsafe in the hands
of an unscrupulous department, and
that fattery and subserviency are
more potent protection to d commits
sion than efficiency in the line of
duty"

TAFT CONSIDERS JUDICIAL
JOBS; SAYS MIND is OPEN
Several Suggested for Supreme
and Commerce Courts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-President
Taft having his message out of the
way, today began final consideration
of appointments to the supreme court
and to the court of commerce.
The president declares that all re-
ports as to states are mere guesswork.
and he is still of an open mind and
would listen to the claims of several
scores of candidates. Today he talked
with several senator's and representa-
tives. His most extended judiciary
conference was with Circuit Judge
Sanborn of St Paul. Judge Sanborn
has been considered as supreme court
timber. but has been eliminated from
consideration because of his partici-
patton in the Standard Oil decision.
Mr.. Taft also talked with Former
Attorney General Griggs of New Jer-
sey. Associate Justice Swayze and
Chief Justice Gummere of the New
Jersey supreme court and Chancellor
Pitney were discussed.

that had been settled by arbitration,
the speaker said it was inconceivable
that any question could arise impossi-
BILE of such solution
Mr.. Reid offered a toast to the mayor

warmly for their hospitality. He said
that every American officer realized
what such an entertainment in the
historic hail Of the first city of the

and Stripes and Union Jack together
might mean, and would never forget
that they were twin flags representing
Cne race.

of Hyman Wiener. the supposed muir
derer of Policeman Barnett, is not on
