Mr.. CaldwelTs mother was one Of

British soldier. His father, Rev. James
Caldwell of Elizabethtown, N. j., was
chaplain to the Jersey brigade and as
sistant commissary general from 1777
to 1879. Just prior to the killing of
Mrs. Caldwell her husband moved from
Elizabethtown to Connecticut Farms
for safety. What ensued was told by
his granddaughter, Miss Halle L.
Wright, as follows:
when the British troops passed
through the Farms, Mrs. Caldwell. with
her maid, retired to a secluded apart

Although the Supreme court during

no permanent home of its own, the

Babe Herman Says He'll
Ask 100000 Salary

Floyd G. (Babe) Herman, Brooklyn
slugger, leading National league slug
ger, has made it known that he is
prepared to ask the Robins manage
ment for 100000 for his next seasons
work.
The illustrious 400 hitter has it fig
ured this way: If Babe Ruth can ask
a hundred grand for his next seasons
stipend why can't he? If member
of a Bronx team. can expect that much
compensation. why not representa-
tive of Flatbush?"
The answer seems to be that the
McKeeverE bbets interests can't be-
gin to pay. what Colonel. Rupert with
his prosperous Yankees can.
This Babe, however. suffers from
no inferiority completes. He is pre-
pared to point out that he will outhit
the Babe 80 points any year. that he
can hit ball as far.as well as often
er, and that the only reason he doesn't
make as many home runs is because
he hits slashing liners to left and Gen.
ter instead of nulling pop flies into
nearby right-feld stands.
Nevertheless. the belief prevails
that Herman will be lucky to get a
quarter of what he plans TO demand.
1t is reported that Lou Gehrig gets
$4,000 year and no one will gain
say the Brooklyn Babe in his conten-
ton that if Lou is worth that kind
of money to the Yankees he is worth
at least as much to the Robins,

ert Hanson Harrison, of Maryland,

five days after he had been confirmed,
to become chancellor of his state.
James Iredell was appointed to Judge
HarrisOn's place. He was from North
Carolina and was the youngest mem

eight years old. Another appointee to
the bench was John Rutledge, of South
Carolina, who, however, never attend

resigned to become chief justice of his
state. His place was filled by the APP
pointment of Thomas Johnson, of
Maryland.
When the government was moved to
the new Capital on the Potomac, the
Supreme court remained in Philadel-
phia until August, 1900. And it was
not until February 2, 1901, that it
finally put in an appearance at WASH
ington. Arriving there, the court was
given temporary accommodations on
the first floor of the Capitol in

fee and now occupied by the marshal
of the court. There it remained until
1903, but during one period of it's his
tory, while repairs were being made
to the Capitol, this solemn body held
its meetings in Washington tavern.
When the repairs were completed the
Supreme court returned to the Capt.
tOl to find that it had been placed on
the basement floor underneath the SEN
ate chamber-surely good example
of subordinating the judiciary to the
legislative!
1t was still occupying this room
when the war of 1872 broke out and
when the British army arrived in
Washington, Elias BOudinot Caldwell,
clerk of the court, took the court rec
ords to his home at zoe Pennsylvania
avenue, Southeast, for safekeeping.
There, in this house, which is still
standing, the court held its sessions
until it moved back into the Capitol
in 1917. 1t was then provided with
quarters temporarily prepared for its
use in the less-ruined part of the north
wing of the Capitol, which had been
burned by the British, place said to

building program for the National
Capital includes a magnificent struc-
ture for the United States Supreme
court, the site for it has been selected
and a commission has been created to
provide plans for the building.
AS every school boy knows, our gov
eminent has three branches-legiSla-
tive, executive and judicial. each pre-
sumably of equal Importance. 1t
seems curious, therefore, that through
out the 1873 years of our nations his
tory one of those three should be
something of a "step-siSter," at least
so far as its having home common
surate with its dignity and Importance
is concerned. The executive branch
has always had its White House,
standing in solitary state as the SYM
Dol of its honor of housing the one
man who is the head of all of our
government activities, the President.
For most of those 1873 years the Iegis-
lative branch has had its great-domed
Capitol large enough to take care of
the growing needs. of the increasing
membership of congress. But the Su-
preme court, the judiciary branch Of
our government, has never had place
in which it could feel the pride of sole
possession. 1t has always been a ten
ant in the home of the legislative
branch, and the latter has sometimes
been very grudging landlord.
But now the Supreme court is TO
move out of that sometime inhos-
pitable home and set up housekeeping
for itself in a new home which will
be as distinctive as the White House
and the Capitol and will proclaim in
its cleaning white walls the power
that resides within. The new build
ing will stand near the Capitol so that
congress and the Supreme court will
still be neighbors. The site for the
new hall Of justice has been chosen
after a long controversy in which
Chief Justice Taft has been the victor.
To win that victory he had to over
Come the objections of some of the
members of the court itself and of
congress to any removal of the court
from the present quarters. But when
the bill to create the commission for
planning the new building was passed
by congress, the last obstacle was re-
moved and the new home of the Su-
preme court will rise where the chief
justice has desired it to be, on the
plaza east of the Capitol and flanking
the congressional library.
The first meeting of the Supreme
court after the new republic was es-
tablished took place in New York city,
which was then the Capital of the ma
ton. The meeting place was in the
Royal Exchange building at the foot
of Broad street, and the date was Feb
ruary l, 1890. 1t continued to meet
there until the Capital was moved to
Philadelphia. Then in February. 1891.
the chief justice opened court in the
City Hall building next to Independ-
ence hall.
Most of us remember from our
school histories who were the first
men to hold the important executive
positions in the new government, but
how many of us know who were the
first justices of the Supreme court,
those men upon whom involved the
duty of interpreting the first laws
passed for the guidance of the new
nation? The first court, as appointed
by President Washington, consisted of
