His associates said he had planned to leave the court at that time but was persuaded to continue temp- ' orarily. A native of Wyoming, Van Devanter all his life was fond of the outdoor life. In recent years he 1 had purchased a farm near the* small, old Maryland town of Ellicott City and there he had passed much of his time. His friends believed that he purchased the farm with a view to retiring there and anticipated that he would spend much of his time in the quiet rural retreat now that his decision to quit the court finally has been made. Friends of the white-haired justice said that he had been contemplating retirement for the last two or three years and had definitely made up his mind to do so when congress adopted the lawproviding for retirement on full pay. Van Devanter felt, however, that he should not relinquish his duties in the supreme tribunal until the present term of court was completed. He expects —if called upon—to i >

receive assignments and to perI form his duties on one of the circuit benches, working intermittent-, ■ ly at the direction of the chief jusi tice and hopes thus to continue of service to his country for many years to come. , Van Devanter will continue to I live at his apartment house home in Washington and on his farm in Howard county, Md. He will spend i I most of this summer on the farm. and then will go to the Seigniory club iu Canada. The date of retirement will per- j mit Van Devanter to vote on the; validity of old age pensions, but there was some speculation wheth-. er he would do so inasmuch as his , vote might control the validity or invalidity of the law. | Van Devanter was on the bench! yesterday but read no opinions. Some attention was called to the fact that he had failed to partici-j pate in a decision upholding the, validity of the Louisiana chain store tax law. Justice Harlan F. Stone, a liberal member of the court, also failed to participate in this decision. No announcement was made at the time as to the reasons these two urists did not act. It often happens, however, that a member fails to do so because of some disqualification which he thinks might make it advisable for him not to vote. Van Devanter received his first appointment to the federal judiciary from President Theodore Roosevelt, when he was named to the eighth circuit court of appeals.

It was while on this bench that he , wrote the opinion holding the great Standard Oil combine a violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. On January 3, 1911, President j ' William Howard Taft named Van ' Devanter to the Supreme Court, ] : which approved his Standard Oil decision after he ascended the, ' bench.
