IN AS HEAD OF
SUPREME COURT
By HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. p. W.P)-
Charles Evans Hughes became the
eleventh chief justice of the United
States in brief but dignificd cerc-
mony today.
The supreme court, of which lie
became the head, inducted him into
office by administering two oaths,
one in closed session with only the
black robed justices present and the
ether in the crowded courtroom in
the senate wing of the capitol.
Resignation of Chief Justice Viii
liam Howard Taft, chief of the
court for nearly nine years, was an.
nounced from the bench when the
court convened at noon. While the
energetic new 'h;ef Justice was be-
ing sworn, Mr.. Taft lay seriously
i'll in his Wyoming avenue home. Mr..
Taft dropped his court work be-
cause of a breakdown early in Jan.
uary and informally resigned three
weeks ago today. The new chief
Justice will be 6S in April. Taft is
Mr. Hughes .ook the constitution
al oath of allegiance, the same as
that taken by al federal office hold
crs, in the little robing-room across
the corridor from the supreme court
bar, he held np his hand and took
the judicial oa'h, pledging equal
justice to the utmost of his ability
in his new and lifetime position
regarded by many as possessing
more potential power in some res
poets than the Presidency which Mr..
Hughes missed " a single states
electoral vote in 1916.
Neither oath was taken on a Bi-
bic. AS is customary in federal
courts, Mr.. Hughes raised his right
hand, read each oath to the end and
then signed the oath for the court
