1910 J. Sup. Ct. U.S. 1 (1910-1911)

handle is hein.journals/joscus25 and id is 1 raw text is: 1 SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1910. The court met pursuant to law. Present: Mr. Justice Harlan, Mr. Justice White, Mr. Justice McKenna, Mr. Justice Holmes, Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice Lurton, and Mr. Justice Hughes. Mr. Justice Harlan, Presiding Justice, said: Gentlemen of the Bar: Since the last term the Honorable Charles Evans Hughes has been appointed an associate justice of this court to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Justice Brewer. Mr. Hughes is present and prepared to take the required oath of office. The court extends a most cordial welcome to the new member. The clerk will read his commission and administer the oath. The clerk then read the commission and Mr. Hughes took the oath of office and was escorted by the marshal to his seat on the bench. Mr. Justice Harlan continued: Gentlemen of the Bar: Since its last session this court has sus- tained a very great loss. The earthly career of the Chief Justice has been closed by death. This sad event occurred on the 4th day of July of the present year at his summer residence, after nearly twenty- three years of continuous and distinguished service on this bench. He met the final summons with that calmness of spirit and compo- sure of mind that marked his whole life. From his early manhood he walked in the good way, uprightly before God and his fellow-men, and passed from this life into the life beyond the grave in the con- fident belief, I doubt not, that the Maker and Ruler of the Earth ordereth all things aright. This court, indeed the nation, will miss him, but the memory of his stainless life will ever remain with his countrymen as a priceless heritage. The regular call of the docket will be commenced to-morrow. No formal business will be transacted by the court to-day. All motions and applications noticed for to-day will then be heard. The Presiding Justice then announced that, out of respect for the late Chief Justice, the court would now adjourn until to-morrow at the usual hour. Adjourned until to-morrow at 12 o'clock. 61824-10-1
