(By International News Scryic-)
Washington. Oct. 1.-William
Howard Taft. tho new Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States will open the Is21-22 term
of the court here on Monday.
Chief Justice Taft succeeds in
office the late Edward Douglas
White. of Louisiana. nho died last
May. Two months later Presidsnt
Harding appointed Taft to the va
cancy, the third Ohioan to become
Chief Justice. The appointment
was confirmed Immediately by the
Senate. but owing to tho close OF
the last term of court and the ad-
journment over the summer months
Chief Justice TAFT has nevcr pre-
sided over the court
Early in the approaching tcrm of
court memorial services will be held
for the late Chief Justice White. The
Supreme Court will appoint a day
for the services. Members OF tho
Supreme Court bar and of the Amer
lean Bar Association will euloslzc
Chief Justice White and responses
will be made by tho new Chief JUS
tice and Associate Justices Of the
Supreme Court.
John Jay, of New York, was first
Chief Justice OF the United States
Supreme Court, receiving his copfir-
nation by the Senate September 26,
1888. The Supreme Court was or
ganized in New York City on Feb
ruary /. 1890. In its early days the
Supreme Court held frequent short
terms, often four = year, because OF
lack of business brought before it.
In recent years because of tho
crush of business the court has held
single term a year, Beginning in
October and ending early the fol-
lowing June, with Il few short re-
cesseS during the term to permit
preparation OF decisions and opip-
ions.
In the 131 years Of its existence
no emergency has forced the Su-
premc Court to the calling or hold
ing of an extraordinary term. In
its early days the frequent terms OF
the court kept it in readiness to re-
ceive any case of great importance,
and in latter days the long annual
terms have rendered unnecessary any
special session.
