justices Holmes and Brandeis dis
sent"
The recollection Of that phrase, per
netuated through his IS years on the
S,Inreme Court bench, might bring a
chllckle today from Justice Louis DEM
bitz Brandeis on his 18th birthday. :.
When the court nowadays leaves lts
lasting impress on questions WHICH
bring out fundamental differences OF
opinion, he finds himself oftentimes
with the majority.
Changes which followed the deaths
of Chief Justice Taft and Justice San
ford brought the new alignment. II
was shown in such cases as the Indiana
chain store tax and the Minnesota press
suppression law.
Uneasy lawyers who face the bench
where the nine black-robed justices slt
look upon Brandeis as a model where
attitude toward counsel is concerned
He has pulled many floundering bar
rister out of legal pit by a softly
worded question.
The Minnesota case, however, brought
out some of the views which BrandelS
has carried with him since he grad
uated from Harvard Law School.
Defense Of the Press.
His tone was sharp and his mass OF
iron-gray hair seemed to lift itself
higher as he questioned counsel for the
State. They were defending what he
| considered an encroachment upon the
| freedom Of the press. Court attaches
looked at one another with surprise as
the jurjst spoke.
The decision against the State n
that suit found Justices Van Devanter
Sutherland, Butler and McReynolds
objecting in vain to the majority
opinion.
His liberal outlook-his opponents
call it radical-waS we'll known when
Brandeis was named to the bench by
President Wilson in 1916.
A Senate group opposed his confir-
maticn for several months Various
reasons were given, among them that
temperament. Wilson defended his
choice. Brandeis' friends answered his
critics by saying the opposition feared
his social philosophy was: The rich are
too rich, the poor too poor
That might have stated his beliefs
in part. He has expressed them time
after time since in cases involving the
rights of labor, freedom of expression
the liberties of citizens and rate in
creaseS involving public utilities.
Many Social Contacts.
Isolated to some extent as all the
justices are by his Office. he has more
social contacts than NEST of his COL
pleagues. He cares little for formal So
ciety but those invited to his home find
the humor there that rarely expresses
itself upon the bench.
Each justice has his individual STYLE
OF delivering opinions Brandeis is q

several hours earlier. The brother,

Eustice, together with Nelson Patton

MRS. M'LEAN ASKS
LATWA DECREE BAN
Wife of Publisher Seeks In
junction to ForestaII
Divorce in Riga.

Charging that her husband, Edward
Beale Mclean, publisher of the Wash
ington Post, has fed the Jurisdiction OF
the United States ito evade and avoid
the penalties prescribed for the trans
portation in interstate commerce OF a
woman for immoral purposes" and to
deprive her and her three children Of
the support directed by the District
Supreme Court, Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean, 1920 Massachusetts avenue, to-
day asked the court to enjoin Mclean
from seeking or prosecuting a divorce
action against her at Riga, Latvia.
Chief Justice Wheat took the applica-
ton for the injunction under advise
ment.
Mrs. Mclean tells the court that
her husband started divorce action in
Mexico against her, charging incom-
patability, and Justice Jesse G. Ad-
kins on her petition, granted an in
junction against Mclean, and the case
in Mexico has been halted and remains
undetermined.
Plot Is Alleged.
The wife charges that in January,
1881, Mclean plotted with Rose Douras
Van Cleve, formerly Rose Davies Of
California, to establish residence in
Mexico so that he could institute a suit
against his wife, and following the in
junction returned to California and
later brought the woman to his home
at Friendship, on Wisconsin avenue.
After the wife last month had filed
a suit for a limited divorce against
Mclean, she AYERS, he fled to Virginia
to evade service, where he was joined
by Miss Davies, and journey to New
York, where he contracted bills total
ing $1,000 for coats and lingerie to
equip her for European trip.
The wife says Mclean paid the eX-
penSes of the woman to Europ and
cabled her 81 900 on the voyage. He
met her in Paris, it is alleged, and now
is with her in Riga, where he has en-
ployed counsel and is said TO be seeking
a divorce from his wife.
Doesn't Know Rights.
Mrs. Mclean tells the court that I'M
der the maintenance decree awarded
her and the children by the court, she
has received only $30,496.89 and that
there remains due $109.000. During
time Mclean has received from the es-
tate of his father, $45, 1853, the wife
says.
Unless granted an injunction. Mrs.
Mclean says her interest under the
maintenance decree will be irreparably
injured in the event that a divorce be
granted in Latvia. She says she does
not know what rights she has under
the Latvian law and is not able to
travel the many thousands OF miles to
that place to defend her interests.

Latvia Slips Knot for $l.5O-GrOunds
Easy to Find There.
RIGA, November 13 (P).-Riga is fast
becoming the Reno of Europe.
Wives who feel that their style is
cramped and restless husbands are
focking here from all over the Cont
nent to get the knot slipped for about
$3.50, which is all the Latvian court
charges.
The Latvian law presumes that there
is no longer any desire for a continu-
ance of married life on the part of a
couple who have lived apart for Pc
riod Of three years o. more.
Either Can Get Decree.
In such circumstances either party is
permitted to claim a divorce without
the other party'S consent.
Ignorance by one party of the where
abouts of the other partner in the mat
rimonial enterprise is sufficient ground
for divorce.
And the law Of Latvia also grants di-
vorce by mutual consent-With some
what wistful proviso that the couple
shall, after a period Of two months, APP
pear in person before the president of
the court. ne OTeSlQcIlG ItleIl Hldhto
an earnest appeal that they should
make up, and Il they don't see it that
way he shrugs and pronounces them
divorced
The most important" case recently
was the decision of the Court of APP
peals to reject the appeal made by the
wife of Max Reinhardt, the theatrical
producer, against the divorce granted
to him earlier this year.
Gossip Follows Arrivals.
Gossip like Reno's now follows the
arrival of any interesting foreigner who
takes up residence here. A famous
French composer and foreign princess
are Wintering herewith that in mind,
run1or reports.
Older Riga has a charming medieval
appearance, but the newer city Is
strictly modern.
Needless to say, the money and the
excitement added to the Baltic sea-
ports life are welcomed. There is even
the suggestion that minister for
foreign affairs of the heart should be
appointed.
