Justice Harlan DiSSentS
From Eight Others

WASHINGTON. May 16.-The old
est member OF the supreme court OF
the United States. both in years and
III point OF service-Jonn Marshall
Harlan, or Kentucky, stands in a class
oy himself today, as the most progress
sive member or Americas highest
judicial tribunal. He will be IS years
old June l and has served as an as.
sociate justice of the supreme court
for 80 years.
With yigor most extraordinary for
man OF MS age. Harlan took his
stand in opposition TO the other eight
members OF the court and contended
that no concessions should be allowed
monopolies; that the decision In the
lower court in the case OF the Stand.
ard Oil Co. should be confirmed with
out amendment.
Harlan denounced in bitter terms
the action of the chief justice and the
other associate justices in declaring
that restraint OF trade" must be "un-
reasonable" TO come within the mean
ing OF the antitrust law. He declared
that the court was legislating. not in
terpreting the law.
The aged Jurtst has been in falling
health. despite his robust appearance,
for many months. The action OF Presi-
dent Taft in elevating Justice White
over Harlan's head to be his chief.
was a severe blow 10 the old mans
pride. but he has held up well. Mrs.
Harlan, but a few years his junior.
who watches him at all times OF
strain, sat in front seat during his
recital When the fiery eyes OF the
justice met the gentle CLEAN OF ad-
miration and pride which his wife
gave him, he took courage against his
odds and there was a little play OF
tense heart interest in the highest
court

ROGERS, Ark. May 16.-Riches are
coming TO E. r. Cotton. who for sew
eral years has lived here and sup

land holder. After his death divi-
sion OF the property was made be
tw cen his daughter and two sons. In
doing this a tract of land, now the
town site or Forman, Ark, was over
looked by the heirs. When the rail-
road was built through the town 1t
took on a new lease OF life and now

tuted. and after pending several years

heirs. OF whom z. X. Cotton Is one.
Cotton believes the land 10 be worth
$3.50 900. and his share will amount
TO $500, 900.
