Supreme Court Justice Retires

BOSTON. July 1.-Justics Brandeis.
Of the United States Supreme Court.
has rendered his resignation from the
executive committee Of the American
Jewish Relief Organisation and 'the
Jewish Congress-. In explanation his
secretary. Jacob de HAAS. said the JUS
tees judicial duties prevented him
from giving the necessary time to the
work Of the committees.
Mr. DE Haas said that report that
Justice Brandeis was considering re-
tirement from all Hebrew activities was
incorrect. and that he still retained In
terest In various organizations.
The Justice started yesterday for .
vacation OF ten days. leaving instruc-
uons that he was not to be disturbed
meanwhile by telephone calls, according
Justice Brandeis, It 10 said, considers
that 1t would be unwise for him in
future to expose himself and his high
offlce to the sort of criticism with which
he met at the Hotel Aston recently. It
was recalled that at that meeting one
person called at Justice Brandeis. In a
dersive tone, There are higher things
than the Supreme Court Of the United
states" whereupon the Justice left the
meeting amid Kisses.
Justice Brandeis has been one Of the
most enthuiastic workers for the well
fare of the Hebrews In this country.
He has been an active advocate Of the
Zionist movement. He was a delegate
OF the Jewish Congress committee and
chairman OF the provisional committee
OF seventy appointed by the Jewish
Conference In PHILADELPHIA last March,

a man yesterday in the Shrewsbury

Samuel Harding. thirty-fve. of
Newark. went swimming OF Grevely
Point. and was not far from the shore
when he threw UP his hands and called
for help. A number Of persons. among
them some strong swimmers. were on
the beach. and two or three young men
ran toward the water with tho inten-
ton Of going to the rescue.
But some one shouted: Sharks! A
sharks got him! Don't go in; there are

The neighborhood has been so
worked up over recent killings by sharks
that this was the first thing some
thought Of. 30 the young men saw
Harding go down three times without
offering him any aid.
About twenty minutes later his body
was brought up by an oysterman's
rake. 1t was not marked. so the shark

President Decides United States
Has Not Sufficient Facts for
Basis Of Protest.
INQUIRY IS DECIDED UPON
Reiterated That This Country
will Take Vigorous Stand to
Protect American Firms.

The Cabinet today decided to with
hold the promised announcement of the
United States Governments policy on
the British blacklist.
II 10 understood the President de-
cided. after discussion with his Cabi-
net advisers. that the United States did
not have sufficient facts on which to
base diplomatic protest to Great Britain
at this time.
An inquiry, has been made Of the
British Government for facts regarding
the operation Of the blacklist. The Ad-
ministration may await these facts be-
fore taking action.
It was reiterated today. however.
that the United States will take a vigor-
Gus stand In opposition to the applica-
ltton of the blacklist to American firms
and corporations. as soon as sufficient
facts are obtained.
Acting Secretary of State Polk took
to the Cabinet meeting today a mass
OF Information gathered as to the OPP
GRAFTON of the blacklist and its efrects
upon American commerce.
Mails Issue Is Acute.
Diplomatic controversies between the
United States and Great Britain &C.
.cupied most Of the time at the Cabi-
net meeting given over to discussion of
foreign affairs. Besides the blacklist.
the mails issue is acute.
A. to the blacklist. 1t has virtually
been decided that no steps shall be taken
until diplomatic remedies have been ap'
piled. The State Department will first

that the British government. while II
may have a legal right to regulate the

blacklist.
Try to Avoid Trade War.
Two alternative courses have been sag
Sested II diplomacy fails. One is Join,
action with the Scandinavian countries
and the Netherlands looking toward OBJ
tanning relief from the restrictive opera
lions Of the blacklist. Proffers Of such
joint acton oil eady have been tentative
1y made by European neutrals. The
other course suggested is to enact re-
,taliatory legislation. At the present time
tho White House and State Department
are opposed to retaliation, as that NIGH
precipitate a trade war that would at

No further step Is contemplated in the

interference with American mails. Las
