MEMORY OF TAFT
HONORED BY MANY
Ex-Secretary Root Among
Speakers at Gathering in
Historic Court Room.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
In the historic room where for nine
years he presided as Chief Justice Of
the United States, a distinguished audi
ence gathered yesterday to honor the
memory of William Howard Taft
The meeting, called by the bar of the
court and presided over by George w
Wickersham, Attorney General under
President Taft, was addressed by Elihu
Root, who was Secretary Of State in the
Taft Cabinet; Circuit Judge Arthur c.
DeniSon of Grand Rapids, Mich, who
had been closely associated with the
late Chief Justice in cleaning UP the
docketS of the Federal courts; former
Senator william Cabell Bruce of Mary
and William Marshall Bullitt Of Louis
vile, KY.
Justice Sanford EulOgi1ed.
Immediately following the ceremonies
Associate Justice Edward Terry Sanford
who died within a few hours of his dis
tinguiShed chief, was eulogized by
Chauncey G. Parker Of the United
States Shipping Board, William l.
Frierson of Chattanooga, Tenn, for
merly Solicitor General, and Charles N.

Mrs. Taft was present, as were MEM
bers of the family of the late Justice
Sanford. In the audience were Secre-
tary Stimson, Attorney General
Mitchell, Solicitor General Thacher, a
number of Federal judges and many
members of the bar
Essentially . Judge.
Root ascribed Mr.. Taft's failure DO
litically to the fact that he essentially
was a judge, swayed by his deep sense
of responsibility, insisting on all occa-
sions on carefully considering all prob
lens confronting him, and reaching
his decisions without political considera-
tions. In his defeat for reelection, Mr.
Taft presented the extraordinary spec
tacle, Root said, of deep relief in escap-
ing from the White House and its
duties as President.
He really loved the people," the dis
tinguished jurist continued, land his
heart was warm toward every man
woman and child. One could not know
him without being his friend and lov-
ing him"
