Washington, Oct 16.-Associate JUS
tice John M. Harlan, senior member
of the supreme court of the United
States, died at his home here, follow
ing brief illness of bronchitis, which
developed complications.
He sat on the bench when the Oc-
tober term of court opened last Mon
day, but on Tuesday was confined to
his home with a cold which gradually
grew worse.
The aged jurist won extraordinary
fame last spring when he dissented
from the remainder of the highest
court in the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust decisions, asserting that his as
sociates were amending the law by
reading the word reasonable" into
the Sherman antitrust law.
Harlan served thirty-four years on
the bench, which with one exception
is the longest term in the history of
the country.
The death of Justice Harlan gives
President Taft the duty of selecting
his fifth appointee to the supreme
bench, which will make majority on
the bench of men selected by Taft. In
addition he elevated Associate Justice
White to the position of chief justice
which in reality makes six appoint
ments by President Taft. The court
is composed of nine members.
