the Supreme Court is not a very
imposing room. 1t is about seventy.
five feet long by forty-fve feet
wide, and it is as high as it is wide.
Although fire is sometimes burn
ing in big fireplace, one could
hardly call it cheerful room. 1t
is not room for merriment, and
few people care to remain IN it
any longer than they have to. The
dignifed men on the bench are
very we'll paid for 8 eending the
greater part of the year here, since
the Chief Justice receives fifteen
thousand dollars year, and all
the associate judges are paid
fourteen thousand five hundred
dollars per year. They can "get
along" very we'll on these salaries,
although Washington is an expen-
sive city in which to live, and a
Supreme Court judge is expected
to live in manner harmonizing
with his high position. 1t fire.
quently happens, however, that
the Supreme Court judges are men
of large wealth, and it does not
often happen that judge of the
Supreme Court has nothing but
his salary upon which to live.
Naturally enough, certain strict
laws of etiquette are observed
during the sessions of this court.
In no other branch of the United
States will one find closer OBJ
servance of certain rules of eti-
quette. When the judges enter
the room at the opening of the
court, the crier calls out sono.
rous!y: "The Honora ble Chief
Justice and the Associate Justices
of the Supreme court of the
United States"
Of course every one in the room
must rise the moment the justices
appear, and all remain standing
until the black-gowned dignitaries
are seated. Then the voice of the
crier is again lifted up in the loud
announcement: "Oyez, oyez, oyez!

In the years of long ago the
judges of the Supreme Court all
wore wigs. Some of the extremely
democratic people of that day OBJ,
jected to the wigs and even to the
gowns as savoring too much of the
customs of the English court.
Thomas Jefferson in particular
was decidedly opposed to both
gowns and wigs. Finally the wigs
were discarded, but from the sit

1890 down to the present time the
judges have worn gowns.

first Chief Justice was John Jay.
1t is name written large in our
American history. Justice Jay
did not adhere to his right to re-
main on the bench of the Supreme
Court the remainder of his life.
He resigned to run for the Office
of Governor of New York. A Su.

" by vote Of AZ to 10 the
senate last night rushed through the
revenue bill, with amendments,
providing retaliatory measures for
interference with American COM
merce and American ttlailS.1 r. -
The bill, one of the most drastic
ever passed by anrAmerican house!
has caused the most intense alarm
among representatives of the En-
tente in Washington, who point out
that it constitutes an "act of non-in-
tsrcourse and as such the prelimi-
Larry of a great trade war" T.
The bill also creates a tariff COM
mission, with six members at sal
airy of 81 500 each. and wide powers
in dealing with the tariff and similar
questions. .,'.' ,''..
Retaliation Measures
Among the other retaliation meas
tires contained in the amendments
to the bill is one prohibiting the i'm
portation of goods from any coun,
try which forbids the importation OF
goods legally made in the United
States. This is admittedly aimed at
The Alliedblacklist, which bars goods
and dealing with German firms or
firms Which have German connec,
tons.
By the amendments to the revenue
bill, the United States government
is launching vigorous counter-blow
to the interference by the Entente
Allies with American trade and
commerce.
Amendments Adopted
The senate. yesterday adopted
amendments to the bill which are of
observation-disclosures and import
ance. They authorize the President
during any war in which the United
States is not engaged, not to clear
vessels discriminating against Am
erican shippers.
The President is empowered to
authorize orders Withholding privi-
legeS from ships of such nations as
are withholding from American
ships privileges accorded the YES
sells or shippers of other nations.
Placing the power of the United
States behind the proposed law,
there is a provision authorizing the
President to use the army and navy
if necessary to prevent the departure
of offending vessels or vessels of
nations discriminating against Am
erican trade. ~
May Deny Use of Mail !
The President is authorized to
deny the use of the mails, express,
telegraph, wireless and cables to citis
zenS and subjects of nations not ac-
cording Americans all the facilities
of commerce, including anhamper-

This provision, it is declared, is
aimed particularly against, British
interference with American mails.

and implication Of the amendments.
