Motion to Bar Justice
First Business
Of High Court

UN.s) The first business Of
the Supreme Court when it opens
its fall term Monday may be the
motion of a former Federal Judge
to prevent the accrediting to the
high bench of its newest member,
Justice Hugo L. Black.
Albert Levitt, the former Judge,
is said to be determined to pro-
coed with his move to GUST Black
from the court.
INELIGBMITY CHARGED
Levitt's argument, if he is per-
mitted to be heard by the court,
will charge:
/. That, inasmuch as retired
Justice Willis Van Devanter is
held, under the Levitt argument,
to be on nothing more than 8
leave of absence, no vacancy on
the court exists.
2. That the leave Of absence
with pay which Justice Van De-
vanter is enjoying under the
Summers Law, is really no more
than an emolument, tantamount
to an increase in privilege Of the
office, and that, since Black, as
Senator, voted for the Sum-
ners Law, he cannot be ap-
pointed, under law, to the SUI
preme Court until 1899, when his
term as Senator would have ex-
pired.
TO CITE NEW RULE
While constitutional lawyers
pondered the possibility Of Levitt
being able to convince the Court
he should be heard, 1t was stated
in an article copyrighted by the
Washington Herald that tn e
former Federal judge would ap-
peal under a rule Of the court
never before invoked. Its exact
language follows:
This court considers the
former practice Of the court Of
Kings Bench and Chancery, in
England, as affording outlines for
the practice Of this court in mat
tiers not covered by its rules or de-
cisions, or the laws Of Congress.
BORAH'S AID LIMITED
The English court of the Kings
Bench, which in 1873 became and
remains the Kings Bench division
of the high court Of justice, was
qualified under the old English
common law to hear any citizen
on an original motion involving
the integrity Of the court or a
matter of great Importance to the
country.
Levitt reasons that Blacks ap-
pointment is unconstitutional, and
therefore both attacks the in
tegrity of the court, and becomes
a matter of prime import to the
United States.
It was reliably reported that
Levitt was aided in preparation
of his brief. which is being kept
secret, by Senators Borah and
Burke, both able constitutional
lawyers.

ed by a comparison with the records of both Crosby and Wilby High Schools, where the enrolment figures during the past few years have shown @ decline. It was indi. cated that the training received in Leavenworth Is of great assistance even to students who leave after their second year and enter the local factories. Commissioner Mar. tin Tehan reported that these Leavenworth pupils have Q great advantage over others, since they are familiar with machinery and tools.
 Chairman Walsh reported that a new building would cost the city somewhere in the neighborhood Of 3 million dollars, and this would be unnecessary since there are many schools with vacant seats which could be filled. He said that the pupils of Clark School might even be sent to the Crosby building until such time as accommodation can be made for them elsewhere

A. J. Hinkleman, speaking for the Union, declared that local banks were to blame for the situation, de- claring that the banks foreclosed on many homes during the depres- sion and are now charging excess Sive rentals.
 The Unions petition was endorsed by the Waterbury Newspaper Guild, which sent a communication to the Aldermen calling for the appoint ment of an Investigating committee to look into the rent problem.
 The aldermen referred the petition to Q committee consisting of Cor poration Counsel Charles s. O'Con- nor, Aldermen George Guilfoile, Charles sciullo, Edward Fitzgerald, George Kingston and William Loeffler.
 The Board adopted, without de- bate, a new city ordinance which gives the police superintendent wide

powers over moving pictures and public exhibitions. It calls for pay ment of Q license fee of $5, and provides Sor investigation by the police chief of the nature of the performance to be given. He may refuse to issue the permit If he be- lieves that the performance will cause breach of the peace or other violation of the law.
 The Brass Workers Union opposed adoption of the ordinance on the ground that 1t gives censorship powers to the head of the police de- partment. Alderman George Gull foile said that validit of the ord- inance would probably be tested in the courts.
 A committee was appointed to hold hearings on two petitions for & change in the zoning laws for property near the French Manufac-

Technical School To Have Full Use Of
 Croft, Clark Bldgs
Crowded Conditions Called to Attention of Board; Action Immediate Grammar School Pupils May Be
 Transported Elsewhere; Transfers Cause Action

Elimination of crowded condi- tions at Leavenworth High School was voted at Q meeting of the Board of Education yesterday aft ernoon, when the local technical school was granted use of the en. tire building on South Elm and School streets, formerly used as Margaret Croft and Clark Cram mar Schools. The additional ses- sion and trade rooms will also serve to give Leavenworth an op- portunity to expand for many years to come.
 Superintendent of Schools, pr. Thomas J. Condon, compared en- rollment figures of few years ago with those of today stunning the commission by this presentation of the actual need for larger quarters.
 John J. Walsh, Chairman of the Board, said that something must be done as soon as possible and referred the situation to the com- mittee on buildings, requesting that immediate action be taken. Chair man Walsh said he did not believe that the present building should be enlarged, since there are adequate centrally located facilities for the pupils Of Clark School. If In the event 1t is necessary to secure more claSsroorns, we have them and can transfer these children In husses," he said. We have plenty of room, plenty of desks and sta- tionery, and If we can't find class rooms enough in one place, we can use several"
 The action of the board followed severe criticism on the part of parents of Leavenworth students who became indignant to learn that they were forced, through lack of facilities, to change from the South Elm street building over to Crosby two and three times each morning. Last week upon one occasion stu- dents of five classes refused to leave the building in a heavy rain- storm and were allowed to miss several classes, which was consid- cred to be a wise and sympathetic move on the part of the directors
 WASA ttllS SAtuhtAOn Wh0 pEVuBtN before the meeting, Commissioner Burton II. Walker asked If the same problem had not occurred In the past and what had been done to remedy 1t then. Superintendent Condon answered that 1t had beer 0 problem growing in volume foi several years. Chairman Walsh stated that he recalled presenting diplomas to Q class of six Leaven. worth graduates only e few years ago. while the present enrolment Is greater than i,200.
 Superintendent Condon said that the increase was perhaps due tc state legislation which requires a young boy or girl to remain kI school until he or she has reached the age of 16. This law formerly read that 6 student could leave school and 90 to work when IA, therefore, the high school enroll. ment for the first two years Is at Its highest point in years and will continue to grow year after year.
 Leavenworth is favored by these students. said Dr. Condon, because they prefer vocational training to the academic courses. This Is prov

CHICAGO MAN IS SUIT PLAINTIFF.
Local Resident Accused of Agreement Violation in
 $lO,OOO Action

Violation of an agreement be- tween employer and employe con- stituted basis of a suit for $i0,000 damages, being heard today in the superior court by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson. .,.
 George s. May, of Chicago is suing Emerson K. Young, of Water bury, claiming that the latter by leaving his employ to work for Q client of the plaintiff abused an agreement made when the defend- ant was hired by the Chicago man.
 The plaintiff claims that MT. Young entered his employ in July, 1885, and remained so employed un- til thirteen months later when he went to work for the Waterbury Buckle Company, formerly client of MT. May. The result of this, the plaintiff alleges, was to create competitive condition which was un- favorable to the paintiff's business.

As the result of the special ser vice held in the L. U.
