Statesmen Real
and Near.
BY Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON, Jan. EFF a man
knew just a few hours in advance
what the United States supreme court
is going to decide in ~ important
case. he might invest a small capital
in stock margins and clean up a for
tune.
All that prevents a man from doing
this IS the fact that he does not know
the decision in advance
One of the noteworthy things about
the supreme court is that through all
the years it has been in operation not
more than three or four decisions
have got out through a leak
That few leaks have occurred in
dicates number of things. One is
that the young men who have served
as secretaries 10 the nine justices
have been persons Of a high degree
of fidelity. Another is that the JUS
tees are not only learned in the law
but are human enough to know
human nature else they could not
have picked so many temptation
proof secretaries To the secretary
10 supreme court justice one
should have an ethical code that is
100 per cent efficient. Some times
IL is difficult to select the man that
has just that equipment.
Another possible leak would be at
the printing establishment where the
supreme court decisions are placed
IN type preparatory TO making them
public. This work is not done at the
government printing Office but at a
private plant and at the same plant
ever since printed decisions became
the rule. SO carefully and cautiously
is the word handled that never once
has suspicion been directed against
this printshop.
The last supreme court decision
supposed 10 have got out ahead OF
schedule was that in the famous
Northern Securities case. At that time
justices secretary was under sus-
picion.
About the only other leaks that
have occurred in the history OF the
supreme court were back in the
Cleveland administration one was
the decision on the cOnstitutionality
OF the income tax law. Then there
was the case of the city OF Chicago
against the Illinois Central railroad 10

handed down. This led to converse
ton about cases to be decided, and
the secretary remarked that the city
of Chicago would win the suit.
The next day, when the young
brokers' apprentice was writing down
the quotations. he came to the figures
on Illinois Central stock.
Turning to a customer standing be-
side him, he remarked:
Il don't suppose that stock will be
quite so valuable after the supreme
court decision is handed down"
The customer began to question
him as to what he knew. and did not
try to conceal that he was keenly in
terested, for he owned a lot of Illinois
Central stock. After satisfying him
selft that he had picked up a tip he
could rely on, the customer began t.
sell his Illinois Central holdings.
The morning after that a New Yorl
paper had the full text of what pur
ported to be the supreme cOur
opinion in the Illinois Central cas-
and instead of being against the rail
road il was in the roads favor. As il
came out in due course, the text OF
the decision was bona fide, but unfOr-
tunately for the paper it was only
dissenting opinion.
Naturally the man who had sold
most Of his Illinois Central stock was
greatly excited and went TO the brOk-
ers young man to ask if he had been
made the victim of a Joke The
brokers' young man insisted that the
paper must be mistaken and prom
ised to ask his secretary friend about
the case again to make sure.
Meanwhile the price of the stocE
had gone up, for there were many
buyers When the man had received
the tip from the brokers' emplOye
and disposed Of the rest of his stock
he did so at a figure that netted him
thousands of dollars profit
one day recently the brokers' young
man, now a financier, was telling the
story, and when he had finished
friend asked him
What did you get out of it? Did
the man ever settle u fortune on yOu
for your tip?"
NO" replied the fnancier, IN
didn't do that. but he handed me tn
first 25-cent cigar / ever smoked"
And there was another angle TO tn
story. The correspondent for one
the Chicago papers saw the report
the New York paper that the Illinoi
Central case would be decided il
favor of the railroad. He learned
that Associate Justice Field would
pTODaDly Iedu the utSIsioii. % he
went up 10 Justice Fields house on
some pretext and remarked TO him:
Il see one of the New York papers
has the full text Of the decision in
which the Illinois Central wins that
lake front case"
Field was an impulsive man and
his nervous system. because of all
health. was easily wrought up. SO
before he realized what he was say
ING he exclaimed.
Does the paper say that Well.
they're going TO be beautifully
fooled"
So the correspondent felt justified
in announcing in his paper that the
railroad would lose its case. And thus
the people Of Chicago knew what was
the decision would be some days be-
fore it was handed down bv the su-
preme court
