In 1928 the first addition to the
building was made possible by the
bequest of Mrs. Alfred r. Quaiffe,
who was president of the Board of
Managers for 10 years. Eleven bed
rooms, baths and diet kitchen
were added, and the regular kitchen
and dining room were expanded.
The big house on Newton street
doesn't seem at all like charitable
institution. With its spacious draw
ing rooms and reception halls, its
cheerful decorations and pleasant
bedrooms, it's more like a club.

OF whether there is vacancy.
He recited the development in the
case of the late William E. Humph-
rey, whose resignation from the
Federal Trade Commission was
asked for by the President in 1898.
Mr.. Humphrey challenged the Pres
ldentS authority to remove men,
bers of the commission under the
wording Of the law and took the
question to court. While the matter
was pending Mr.. Humphrey died in
1884, but Senator Bridges declared
the Supreme Court later upheld the
former Federal Trade, Commits
sioner.
Any action the Senate takes now to
fill the vacancy may prejudice the
pending Morgan court case, the Sen
ator said.
Senator Norris replied by predict
ing the pending court case undoubt-
edly will be appealed and may not
be decided finally for a year or two.
If the Senate does not fill the vac
ancy, he declared. You have struck
death blow at T. v. A." The Sen
ate's action in confirming success

on the final decision of the court in
that case and no one made that
contention then, he said.

In his memorandum opinion,
handed down shortly after noon to-

II therefore, direct that before
further proceedings be taken, a rule
be served on Mclean, returnable
before me following substantially the
procedure set forth in section 378,
sea-, Of Title "a OF the Code, ap-
prising him of the pending proceed

to be determined by the court at the
present time and directing him to
make known any claims OF defense
he might have. I further direct
that copy Of such rule be served
on the officer in charge of the insti-
tuition where he now is. The near
est relatives are already before the
court. If at the termination of the
time set forth in the rule, Mclean
has not personally appeared or an
