 A remarkable tribute to the legal abilities of Day Kimhall. son of Mr. and Mrs. Marcus M. kimhall of Bark Meadow House. pamfret. was paid 10 the young lawyer recently by Frank W.

 Praise For Opinion
 Mr Grinnells tribute to Mr. Kim ball came as an illustration of the ex- cellent work of the Harvard Law School. He said q know of no bet ter single illustration Of the current work of the faculty and students than the note on The Limits of Legal Tol- eration' by Day kimball in the liar ward Law Review for January. 1920. kimball. then a student in the school. disagreed with Prof Chafee in regard to the decision of the Supreme Court Of the United States in the Abrams case, and he stated his views in the note referred to- If the members of the association will read the majority opinion in the Abrams case and then read kimball's note. I think they will agree that he produced more con vincine opinion than seven judges of the Supreme Court of the United States were able to produce in that ease. As long as the Harvard Law faculty can excite their students to disagree with them as to produce snd law writing of that standard the school will be maintain ing it. highest traditions"

BROOKHART VOTE
TO Be CAST TODAY
Senate to Decide Iowa Con.
test With Pressure Evil
dent in Many Sections.

The Senate will render its verdict
before adjournment this afternoon as
TO whether Senator Brookhart of
Iowa won the election in his State or
whether he should be unseated in
favor of Daniel f. Steck. the Demo
cratic contestant. Those who have
neen following the proceedings for Il
week predict the outcome will hinge
on u few votes.
Should Senator Brookhart be un-
seated in favor of Steck, his Demo
cratic opponent at the 1924 elections,
he will become q candidate in the
June primaries in Iowa against Sen
ator Albert E. Cummins for the Re
publican senatorial nomination.
After a week of debate, the result
remains in doubt despite the 10-to-1
vote of the elections committee to
unseat him. Both sides claim victory,
but meantime have conceded the eX-
treme closeness of the contest by dis
cussion as to how Vice President
Dawes would vote in the event Of
deadlock.
Neither Senator Brookhart nor his
colleague. Senator Cummins, will vote.
Senator CumminS was excused from
casting his ballot by the Senate at
his own request. He stated that be-
cause OF CIRCUMSTANCES Well hloWH
to all the Senators. he did not desire
to participate either In the debate or
the balloting.
While Senators have been engaged
in deep discussion Of the law and the
facts in the case they have been sub
-jected to undercurTents of pressure
from many sources. Admittedly, this
pressure will increase as the hour for
the vote approaches. and this. Of it
self. has added to the uncertainty of
the outcome.
Meeting at noon the Senate resumed
discussion Of the contest, with Sena-
tors limited to Is minutes each after
3 o'clock. The vote will be taken at
5 o'clock under an unanimous consent
agreement.
