William A. Porteous had an eventfui
day on the date of the reading Of Presi-
dent Wilson's message in the House OF
Representatives-and it is safe to Say
that Mr.. Porteous was the only man sit
ting in the midst of the senators. repre-
sentatives and cabinet officers assembled
in the House who had not the right to
be there. However, he sat there and lis
tened as if he really belonged.
Mr. Porteous came up from New Or
leans to be presented to the Supreme
Court of the United States. He is the
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company in New Orleans, also a
lawyer: and was admitted to practice
before the Supreme Court on the day
the President read his message.

And he has a sister who comes to see
