JUSTIGES TEXCH STRIE LESSON Three Supreme Court Jurists,' Past Retirement Age, Still Carrying On. BY WILLIAM H. DOHERTY, Assoctated Press Staff Writer, ! Young men who aspire to quick | wealth so they may retire at an early . age and enjoy the fruits of their labors | may obtain & lesson in service from | three men on the Government pay roll, all over 70 years of age, who need oniy say the word to be retired at their pres- | ent salaries of $20,000 a year. The three are Associate Justices Holmes, Van Devanter and Brandels of | the United States Supreme Court.; Holding appointments for life, appar- | ently all intend to die in harness, so. absorbed are they in the work of the Nation’s highest bench, for there is no indication that any of them is even considering retirement from his fre- quently arduous position. Chief Justice Taft passed his seven- tieth birthday nearly two years ago, but fails by reason of another restriction to qualify for full-pay retirement. ~Ten years' continuous service as a Federal judge is required preceding the seven- tieth birthday, so the head of the bench will not be eligible until July 7, 1931, the tenth anniversary of his appoint- ment. Every Chief Justice since John Mar- shall to Taft has died in office, proving their appreciation of the position, and of these only Salmon P. Chase failed to reach the age of 70. The longevity apparently guaranteed to all who achieve the eminence is shown by the fact that the 10 Chief Justices in the history of the court have averaged 14| HENRY MILLER. years in that post. 7 Search of tm records discloses that the instances also are few of associat> justices relinquishing _thelr positions while their health remained, and only two ex-justices now are living. They are Charles Evans Hughes, who resigned | to run for the presidency against Wood- row Wilson, and John H. Clarke, ap- pointed to succeed Hughes, who Té-| signed in 1822 to devote his efforts to | the Non-Partisan Association for the | League of Nations. Bench, has 27 years of service in Qhr‘ Federal judiciary to his credit, all spent on the highest court. For 20 years prior | to his appointment he was a justice of | the Massachusetts Supreme Court, in- O endeilt Hounes; now ! 88/1ths {cludlng three years as chief justice. oldest man ever to sit on the Supreme Next in point of service is Willis Van THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929. JURISTS OFFER LESSON IN SERVICE HARRIS ¢ EWING Three veteran members of the Su- preme Court who could step down any day and receive pay of $20,000 annual- Iy for life—the same as they draw for active service, but who choose rather to remain on the benth with the labor in entails. Upper, left to right: Justice | Holmes and Justice Van Deyanter. Lower: Justice Brandels. Devanter of Cheyenne, Wyo., who was 70 years old in April of this year. He was appointed judge of the Eighth Fed- eral Circuit in 1903 and since 1911 has served on the Supreme Court. Justice McReynolds, next in_senlority, 1s iacl- igible for retirement despite his 15 years on the Supreme Court, as he is but 67 years old. / Following hl{ln is tMl:‘hwl:d 3.! thel:-;io who posses the uf a _life- time vacation at 3;3,%00 annually, Louis D. Brandeis. Like Holmes, a Bay Stat- er, he is noted for his association with that jurist in numerous important dis- senting opinions. None of the other four in the order they ascend the bench—Justices Suth- erland, Butler, Sanford and Stone—has reached the retirement age, and only one, Justice Sanford, has the required 10 years in the Federal judicial scrvice. Attend Church by Law. Golfers, picnickers, Sunday autoists would be out of luck if an old Englisk law were in force today. The act of uniformity, 1552, required: All persons, except those dissenting from the worship or doctrines of the Church of England and usually attend- ing some place of worship not belong- ing to the Church of England, are, if they have no lawful or reasonable ex- cuse for ahsence, to endeavor to at- tend thelr parish church or accustomed chapel, or, if reasonably prevented from so doing, some other place where the divine service of the Church of Eng- land is performed, on all Sundays and other days ordained and used to be kept as holy days, and to abide therc orderly and soberly during the time of common prayer, preaching or other divine service there performed. Failure to observe this law renders the offending “parishioner or inhabit- ant of & parish” who is not legally ex- empt from attendance at divine service on Sundays and holy days “liable in proceedings taken against him in the ecclesiastical courts to be censured for the offense, admonished as to its at- tendance in the future, and to be con demned in the costs of the proceed- ings.” .

ORDER ALLOWS ELECTRIC COMPANY TO CONTINUE Judge Amends Restraint So It Will Not Interfere With Ordinary Business. ‘The ordinary operations of the busi- ness of the Penn Improvement and Elec- tric Co., at 911 Seventh street are not affected by the temporary restraining order granted by Justice Alfred A. Wheat at the request of Willlam H. Smith, who claimed that Simon 8. Freedman, his wife, Selma, and his brother. Isaac J. Freedman, had formed the company and transferred certain assets in an alleged effort to prevent Smith from collecting a judgment for $1,000 damages awarded him in the Municipal Court against Simon 8. Freedman. At the request of counsel for the cor- poration Justice Wheat yesterday modi- fied the temporary restraining order to show that nothing in the order shall in- terfere with the ordinary operations of the company. Abner Slegel, attorney for Smith, consented to the modification of the order of the coust. . CHICAGO HOODLUM DEAD. Companion of Slain Man Flees ‘When Doctor Examines Body.
