The first step toward Senate con-
firmation Of Owen j. Roberts as an
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
was taken today with action by the
judiciary committee to refer the nomi-
nation to a subcommittee.
Little difficulty in obtaining con-
firmation was expected, but the sub
committee will go thoroughly into any
complaints.
The judiciary chairman, Norris of
Nebraska, and others outside the fold
Of the Republican regulars predicted
early and favorable action.
Senator Sheppard of Texas. a dry.
who had indicated opposition to Rob-
ertS because of 1923 speech by him,
said today he was satisfied with the
explanation that had been made for
the nominee.
Roberts had been quoted as criticizing
the eighteenth amendment, but 1t was
explained that he was discussing legal
point involved.
Sheppard Withholds Stand.
Sheppard said he wanted ''to wait
until the committee disposes of the
nomination before taking a stand on
1t, but I will not oppose him unless 1t
Is shown that he is prejudiced against
the law"
The nomination was Endorsed in a
telegram received today by Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania from DR.. Homer

1ntendent of the Pennsylvania Anti

Reed said he had received informal
assurances from other dry groups in

erts.

corporation viewpoint when he is sur

ness" Senator Norris said, "but Roberts

Norris said the committee would act
immediately" on its recommendation,
Senator Walsh Of Montana, assistant
Democratic leader and dry, also said
he saw no reason why Roberts should
not be confirmed promptly,
Senators Simmons and Overman, the
two Democratic North Carolina Sena-
tors who supported so strongly the re-
Jected nomination Of Judge John j.
Parker, refrained from taking any po-
sition. Both said they wanted the SUBJ

Norris said mo single protest" has

declared, when asked for information,

Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader, said he had no doubt
that the Roberts nomination would be
confirmed.
The same Senators who considered
the Parker nomination were named as
the Roberts ubcommittee-Borah Re-
publican, Idaho; Hebert, Republican,
Rhode Island. and Overman, Democrat,
North Carolina.
While the North Carolina Senator
headed the Parker subcommittee, Borah

Stokes, colored, 800 block of Third

and it undoubtedly would have been
serious If there hadn't been an assist
ant district attorney at Police Court
who recognized the quality Of such a
conscience.
Stokes was strolling through the
streets of southeast Washington on a
balmy day last week, and as the endless
procession of automobiles filed past
him, he was seized with desire to take
a ride. The desire was so strong within
him that he didn't quite realize what
he was doing when he stepped in a
shiny car at Sixth and E streets and
pulled away from the curb.
AS Stokes drove toward his home, he
thought about what he had just done.
The pain to his conscience became so
excruciating that he decided to make
amends for the evil deed. He turned
