LIBERAL TREND IS INDICATED BY HIGHESHOURT Two Changes in Personnel by Hoover Brings Turn From Conservatism. TSi/ Bcrippi-Hownrd Wctcxpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, May 22.-A new lineup on the supreme court under which that tribunal has seemed to make a more liberal interpretation of the law has resulted from the two changes in its personnel made by President Herbert Hoover. Previous to Hoover’s appointment of Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes and Associate Justice O. J. Roberts, the court had a majority which usually held to strict and conservative lines in its exposition of the constitution and of the laws enacted thereunder. But in many important cases during the present term the majority has been inclined to apply the fundamental law to changing conditions with a greater appreciation of modern day problems. Record Proves Surprise While the court, as now constituted, can not be labelled definitely “liberal” or “progressive,” its concent of the Constitution has taken greater account of social, economic and industrial advancement. Moreover, it has upheld the lights of the states more than did the previous majority, which showed a strong sympathy with centralized government. The former majority consisted of the late Chief Justice Taft, the late Justice Sanford, Justice Van Devanteer, Justice Butler, Justice Sutherland and justice Mcßeynolds. The new majority consists of Justice Holmes, Brandeis and Stone, always famous dissenters, and the newcomers, Hughes and Roberts. This development follows fierce attacks on the conservatism of the court and of Hughes at the time of the latter’s appointment. Many progressive senators who fought the chief justice, and who succeeded in keeping Judge John J. Parker off the supreme bench, have been surprised at the court’s record. Court Work Speeded Up Hughes, so far, has belied their fears, while Roberts, who got the place withheld from Parker, has

Legion Hero

J

It was the centenary anniversary of France’s famous Foreign Legion, and toasts were drunk to General Rollet, inspector of the Legion, famed as former commander of the First regiment at Sidi-bel-Abbes. Here you see him, bemedaled and military in bearing, as he addressed his fellow Legionnaires at their ceremonies in Paris.

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. Negro Is Held to Grand Jury for Breaking in Store. Ben King, Negro, 734 Indiana avenue, and Robert Prather, 347 South State avenue, charged with the robbery of a north side dry goods store last week, Thursday were bound over to the grand jury on auto banditry and robbery counts, j The action was taken by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer, who ! set King’s bond at $3,000 and Prather’s at $5,000. more than lived up to expectations. Several opinions handed down this week saw a lineup of 8 to 1 and 7 to 2 while in one highly contro- j versial matter the court was unani- I mous in favor of a broad construction of the state’s taxing power. Hughes also has speeded up the court work. In the Ohio gas case the court heard arguments and acted in less than a month—a record for recent years. Th chief justice holds regular conferences, and has impressed on his associates the desirability of uncongested calendars.
