CARDOZO CLEARS HIS FAMILY NAME

Justice Was Hurt Grievously by Unjust Criticism Aimed at Father. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Behind the senate’s confirmation of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo of New York to the United States supreme court lies a human story of a son’s twenty-year fight to clear the family name of criticism heaped upon it in an era of story political passions. The newest member-to-be of the highest tribunal is a son of the late Albert Cardozo, supreme court judge in New York for many years. During investigation of the Tweed ring in the seventies, the elder Cardozo was required to consider many legal matters arising from that scandal. Popular indignation ran high, and the father was assailed frequently and bitterly by political enemies. The son, a sensitive youngster, felt these criticisms deeply as he grew to manhood and began practice of law. He lived an aloof life, passipg from the law court to his study in almost religious routine. The lines and pallor of his face reflect his devotion to Blackstone by day and candles by night. He took

as his province the rich but remote fields of law, literature, history, economics and, above all, philosophy. Though the bar a.nd society clamored for his presence as he rose to national fame, he shunned gregarious paths and kept to his books. He never married. There was no outward sign of the burden he bore. But when it was suggested in 1912 that he run for the New York supreme court he shook his head. He refused for the simple reason that it might revive forgotten feuds about his father. When he was prevailed on to accept, it was because it was a way—his only way—of clearing the Cardozo name forever. Only a few friends knew the sacrificial nature of his ambition.

tion after officers announced they had obtained confessions substantiating a which they had thought incredible. Those held were Mrs. Ella Hopkins, 50, widow of Lafaytte Hopkins, half-breed Indian, who died last year; Dr. Leslie Ofner and James De Milio. A year ago Mrs. Hopkins sold a house to Wiliam Lambert, who operated an oil station next door. Last September she wrote him, offering a $2,000 profit if he would sell the house back to her. She wanted it, she said, because “it was my husband's ancestral home designed for his spirit to roam forever.” She declared she had sold the place only because her husband's spirit annoyed her aged mother. Later Mrs. Hopkins warned the dead man’s curse lay on those in the house and would bring death to them. Three weeks ago Lambert’s oil station was bombed. He went to the Secret Six, business men’s

crime fighting organization, and gave them the letters. Police questioned Mrs. Hopkins, and today announced she had confessed she negotiated for the bombing through Dr. Ofner. Authorities said Dr. Ofner had confessed acting as her agent. They quoted him as naming De Milio as the bomber. De Milio denied bombing the place, but admitted he was nearby the night the station was bombed. Dr. Ofner said, states attorneys announced, that he was paid $360 in installments by Mrs. Hopkins. Mrs. Hopkins was said to have been left a fortune of $250,000 by her husband. 120 Attend Institute , Midwinter institute of Merritt Place Methodist church, with the Rev. C. B.

Court Justice Aaron J. Levy to be rechristened and in his plea, referred tp his name as "un-Amer-ican.” Justice Levy at first denied the petition, then made Cohen Conason, after the "un-American phrase” was stricken from the plea. Said Justice Levy: “It is doubly strange that the petitioner, who intends to dwell in the select New England circles, should desire to conceal his aristocratic Old Testament origin.” The Cohen tnat was. the Conason that is, intends to go to Harvard, he said.
