The auxiliary ketch Shark, in which
the well-known novelist, Jack London.
essayed a round-the- world voyage
from San Frasncico, has been sold
and converted into an island trader.
The Shark, although only a small
vessel, cost Mr.. London close on
$4,000 to build and fit out. The vessel
had just been begun when the earth
quake visited San Francisco, and
more than one builder had a hand in
her construction. She was serviceably
If not mxuriously, equipped, and she
reached the Solomon Islands, when
the cruise had to be abandoned owing
to health reasons. Subsequently, the
vessel was taken to Sydney and she
arrived there on March 8, 1909.

Continued from Page One.

that several of the chief justices have
entered upon their duties at times
when new questions of the gravest
Importance confronted the country.
In the time of Marshall who be came
chief justice in 1901, the great pro-
blem was the construction of the con-
stitution, and his decisions shaped the
course of the republic. 1t developed
upon Marshall to place in effect the
intentions of those who made the con-
stitutiop. Some of the men who as
sisted in the construction of that great
instrument differed with the judge as
to what the intention of the construc-
tors had been but it was Marshalls
opinion that counted.
1t was Marshall VINO first asserted
the right of the supreme court to de-
clare invalid acts of congress that In
the opinion of the court were in con-
fiict with the constitution. He created
the American system of jurisprudence
and assured the permanency of a gov
ernment that until his time was ali ex-
pertinent.
Roger b. Taney, of Maryland, be-
came chief justice in 1896, time
when the country was about to ex-
perience wonderful development.
Railroads had begun to succeed wagon
transportation, coal mines were being
developed on a large scale and public
works of Importance were placed un-
der way. He was the author of the
Dred Scott decision which became
burning issue.
A court order by a chief Justice is
practically final but one issued by
Toney was an exception to the rule,
perhaps the only case in which
chief justice was ever overruled. A
man was arrested on the charge of
treason in Baltimore, where the oper-
alton of the writs of habeas corpus
had been suspended by the army. The
facts were submitted to Taney, who
issued an order that the prisoner be
produced In court The officer in com
mand refused to surrender the man
