COURT HONORS MEMORY
Of JAMES H. M'KENNEY
Chief Justice Whites Com
ment on Late Clerks Life
and Character.

In making the announcement yesterday
Of the appointment of James d. Maher as
clerk of the Supreme Court of the United
States, Chief Justice White spoke in high
terms of the life and character of the late
James II. Mckenney, for many years the
clerk of the court.
'In entering the order appointing clerk
because of the death of Mr.. McKenney,
the court is unwilling to let the occasion
pass without making some note on its
records of the character Of the services
rendered by Mr.. McKenney to the court
and the country for so long time, and
also without expressing for permanent
the court feel at the loss which has been
occasioned by the death Of, Mr.. Mcken-
ney.
Began Service In 1858.
Mr. Nick pney became connected with
the work of the court as far back as
1858. first as junior clerk, then as act
ing deputy. then. when the statute au-
thorized it, as the deputy clerk; and
finally. in 1880, upon the death of Mr..
Middleton. he became clerk of the court
During all the long period of more
than fifty years. with diligence. with
fidelity. and. with honor. he. served the
court and the country" The consolation
at his loss to the court and the country
is this: That no one can look over the
period of time during which he served
and consider the grave subjects with
which the court dealt during that time,
and with reference to which the clerk
was called upon within his sphere Of duty
to act and deny that the effect OF
those services so faithfully rendered re-
douned to the benfit of the people of
the country and to the preservation of
our constitutional system of government
which remains as the safeguard of every
right and the guaranty of the liberties OF
ALL
Heritage to Family.
THE consolation of those united to
aim by ties of kindred and personal af-
lection is that they have the heritage OF
a long. virtuous and well spent life which,
if contemplated In the. light of faith,
brings to them the assurance that its
rectitude finds place on the minutes OF
that court of everlasting and infinite
power to which all human conduct must
come for ultimate judgment; and that
that record affords ground for faith to
believe that the one whose loss they de-
plore is gone to his everlasting reward %

Stones Thrown, Is Charge.

According to a number of street car
crews. the boys have been troublesome
for some time. Two of them were
charged with throwing stones. one motor
man complaining of being hit in the
back with a stone, and it was testified
that some cars had been struck by the
missiles.
The boy WHO struck the motorman has
been twice convicted of stealing. and the
judge, despairing of accomplishing any
good by placing the boy on probation,
turned him over to the care of the board
of children's guardians. The other lad,
who was charged with throwing stones
had never been in court before, and
Judge Lati,ner placed him on probation
for an indefinite period. One of the boys
who was charged with jumping on and
off cars and with using vile language to
the conductors and motormen of the cars
was similarly dealt with.

Other Boys Acquitted.

With one exception, the other boys were
acquitted of the charges against them
Judge Latimer explained to them that he
had not a doubt in his mind that they
were members of the gang and were
as guilty as the others. but was forced to
dismiss the charges because the evidence
he had before him was not sufficient to
convict them. He warned the boys that
the gang" would have to be broken up
and lectured all of them on the lives they
had been leading
The last boy of the seven, not. Yet ten
years old, had been staying away from
home two and three nights at a time, his
father said, and he confessed that the
MANAGEMENT of the lad was beyond his
control. Judge Latimer excluded every
ore from his Office and had heart-to-
heart talk with this boy, after which he
was paroled in his fathers custody, who
promised the judge to place the boy in an
institution.

the judge conducted the hearing, and got

William II. Chapman. Ga years
old. of Denver, arrived in Detroit,
Monday afternoon, and announced 10
County Clerk Farrell and Secretary
Fitzgerald, in the mayors office. that
he had completed 35,000-mile walk
which he began May 81. 1911, and
would stay in Detroit until repre-
sentative OF the Western Stockmen' g
association gives him $50, 900 for his
feat Meanwhile, would some kind
citizen donate 80 cents for nights
lodging? Thank you.
Chapman says he used TO be a
rancher in Wyoming. At the stock
mems show In Denver, two years ago,
he says that seven men started on a
35,000-mile hike, a bet having been
made and purse put up by some
who said the walk was impossible OF
accomplishment before March 81,
1913. Chapman ended his Journey,
he claimed. by 66-mile walk from
Flint in 10 hours, which must be adj
mitted as some travelling even on
horseback Chapman says he has
averaged between 80 and 50 miles a
day. and Is confident that someone
will meet him with $4,000
