The Ambassador to Great Britain,
Charles Gates Dawes, like the Speaker

in London, played by orchestras in tbs

he became Vice President would have

AS Ambassador to Great Britain it is a

The docks, located at the end of
Third street, Wayne street, CaSs avenue

Shipments are made daily at 7 am,
1890 am. and noon. Gangs of armed
men take possession of the docks at
these times, preventing Workmen from
Venturing too near. The contraband is
quickly loaded into automobiles and
rushed away by armed guards, it is said.
Disclosure of these successful at
tempts to break through the augmented

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
room known as the senate clerks Of

of the court. There it remained until
1908, but during one period of its his

When the repairs were completed the

toll to find that it had been placed on
the basement floor underneath the SEN
ate chamber-surely a good example
of subordinating the judiciary to the
legislative!
It 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 206 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 1871, 1t was then provided with
quarters temporarily prepared for it's
use in the less-ruined part of the north
wing of the Capitol, which had been
burned by the British, place said to

This Mr.. Caldwell, who was serving
as clerk of the Supreme court at this
exciting period of its history was an
interesting character. He was named

of Confederation from 1871 to 1855.
Boudinot was also one Of the first law
yers admitted to practice before the
Supreme court when it was established
in 1871. OF Caldwell's history, John
cfaggetr Proctor, writing in the yvayls

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 secluded apart

balls, which passed through her body,
and she instantly expired.

Although the Supreme court during
its long history has more or less wan
dered about from place to place with
no permanent home of it's own, the
recent move to give it one was not
the first. AS early as 1896, a commit
tee of the house of representatives re-
ported that "a building for the jul
dietary was among the objects yet to
be accomplished" indicating that it
recognized the need for providing this
important branch of the government
with home. 1t has often been said
that congress set a record for slow
ness in regard to erecting the WASH
ington monument. That monument
was authorized by joint resolution
passed in 1899, but nearly half CEN
fury passed before the corner stone
was laid, and it took 81 years longer
to complete the structure as we see
it today. However, congress- record
in regard to Supreme court build
ing beats even that, for it has taken
our legislators exactly 1873 years to
get around to providing permanent
home for the greatest and most pow
erful tribunal in all the world.
