Included in the number arrested was J. E. Taylor, secretary and treasurer of the company. A warrant for the arrest of James Mills, president of the firm, was sworn out later by prohibition of- ficlals. Mills is in a Boston hospital. ‘All were charged with manufacture of dllegal beer. The raid was led by Robert D. Ford, deputy prohibition commissioner for the ‘Maryland district, and a score of agents ook part. They seized 300 cases of al- leged high-test beer in the $400,000 | plant. The brewing company has been ,operating under a Federal permit for he manufacture of cereal beverages @and near beer, and was under $50,000 bond to the Government.

C. Bench THE SUNDAY STA WASHINGTON, D. C., NOVEMBER 22 1931—PART ONE. NEW JUSTICE 1S SEVENTH BORN IN DISTRICT. BY EDWIN MELVIN WILLIAMS, Author “History of the Suifltmzycourt of the District of Columbia.” OMORROW, Daniel W.| O'Donoghue, & native Wash- ingtonian who has reached dis- | tinction at the Washington bar, will be sworn in lh_\' thle‘{ JUS‘r eat as an associate justice of the S“L’\I;;reme Court of the District of | Columbia, succeeding the late Justice Siddons. So many Washingtonians have been | appointed recently to the bench of the Supreme Court that to some it will seem but the normal course for the President to lool;] on:y blemk‘mg :’:c.s:sl- ington lawyers when it becomes - sasrey to fill vacancies on the bench of the local Supreme Court. But such, in | fact, has not been the practice. As & matter of fact, in the 68 years that the Supreme Court has existed, only six native Washingtonians have sat upon | its bench. Justice O'Donoghue will make the seventh. President Lincoln set an unfortunate precedent, for Washingtonians, when he chose the original bench, in 1863. He went to Ohio for a chief-justice, and of the three associate justices, one was from New York and one from Delaware, He did recognize Washing- ton to an extent by appointing to the fourth judgeship the only Alegandrian who had voted Republican in 1860; and this Alexandria lawyer, in consequence, had had to hurry across the Potomac when Virginia decided to secede. But the Senate did not confirm this ap- pointment, and Lincoln had to m Justice Wylie's appointment a recess one. Lawyers Boycott Court. Weighty national reasons governed the President and the Senate in thus passing over the local bar, in abolish- ing the old Circuit Court and consti- tuting the Supreme Court. The coun- try was then in the throes of civil war, and the situation in Washington was difficult, an unmistakable undercur- rent of Southern sympathy having ex- isted in some Washington groups. Lincoln considered it “of the utmost importance that there should be a court in the National Capital com- posed of judges of national reputation, with positive and strong convictions in accord with the policies of the adminis- tration on all questions then disturbing the country.”” The justices were re- quired to take the so-called “iron-clad™ oath; so also were “all proctors, solicit- ors, attorneys and counsellors,” before admittance to the bar of that court. Many Washington lawyers were dis- gruntled and discouraged. They con- sidered that “politics had had too posi- tive a part in the reorganization” of D. ourts. At least two prominent lawyers, James M. Carlisle and William J. Stone, resented so keenly this slight- ing of Washington lawyers that they refused to ‘grwtlce before the new court, “in e composition of which eligible members of the local bar had been ignored.” Politics Affect Selections. Since that time Washington has had many eligible lawyers, but the Presi- dents, in filling vacancies on the bench of the local Supreme Couft, since 1863, have obviously, to some extent, been in- fluenced by litical considerations.

Seven- teen, however, have been appointed from Washington practice, so it would seem that the local bar has not been forgotten. But only seven of these have been what might be termed full ‘Washingtonians, that is, natives of the National Capital. Justice A. B. Hag- ner was the first. He was the son of Peter Hagner, who came in with the Government from Philadelphia in 1800. The family has been here ever since, | prominent in all generations. The | second was Justice W. 8. Cox, who was | born in the same year as Hagner, 1826. ‘They were elevated to the bench in the | same year, 1879, also. Ten years passed before another native Washingtonian reached _the bench. Then, in 1889, Andrew Coyle Bradley, of a great lawyer family re- siding in Washington since 1800, was appointed. Next was Willlam Hitz, ap- pointed by President Wilson in 1916. Eleven years later, Peyton Gordon, of good record as district attorney of his native city, was appointed, and the sixth Washingtonian elevated was James M. Proctor. 0’Donoghue Esteemed Here. In the selection of “Daniel W. O’Donoghue, who will take his seat to- morrow, President Hoover has appoint- ed one of the most generally esteemed ‘members of the Washington bar of his generation. ‘The O'Donoghue family has lived in Washington since 1856. During the Civil War Martin O’'Donoghue was in the ranks of a Washington unit, and later he was numbered among the responsible merchants of the National Capital. He reared a large family, in- cluding Martin J,, who went into holy 5-Year Guarantee Free Estimates Pot. 3886 orders; John A, who died in 1920, after many rs of medical practice and medical teaching in Washington; and Daniel W., whose worth as a lawyer is now recagnized by his elevation to the bench. Justice O'Donoghue was born here on October 15, 1876, and for more than 30 years he has been a member of the Washington bar. At Georgetown Uni- versity he gained the A. B. degree in 1897. He gained his A. M. in the next year and in 1899 he earned his doc- torate, Ph. D, and also his law de- gree, LL. B. The major law degree, LL. M., came to him in 1900 and 20 years later, in recognition of his dis- tinction as a lawyer and his excellence as a teacher of law, Georgetown Uni- versity conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. Dr. Donoghue has practiced law here since 1900 and since 1904 has been a member of the faculty of the law school of Georgetown University. In 1925 he was president of the Bar As- sociation of the District of Columbia. His practice has made him known far and wide and some distinct honors have come to him from distant cities. For instance, the city of Boston hon- ored him this year by inviting him to be the orator of the day at its anni- versary celebration of the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the city of Wash- ington honored him this year when he, with four other esteemed Wash- ingtonians, was given extra judicial au- thority to hear the sensational Staples case. e e WOMAN PHYSICIAN SUPPORTS PANTAGES Doubts Eunice Pringle “Forcibly Attacked,” Dr. Hannah J. Beatty Testifies. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, November. 21.—Tes- timony of a woman physician that she did not believe Eunice Pringle had been forcibly attacked by Alexander Pantages is in the record of the second trial of the theater magnate on crim- inal assault sharges. Dr. Hannah J. Beatty, former physi- cian for the Juvenile Court here, said yesterday she examined the dancer, then 17 years old, on the morning after the latter emerged screaming from Pantages' office in August, 1929. Her testimony, based on the examination, disagreed with the girl's story. Under questioning by the State, how- ever, Dr. Beatty admitted she could not tell whether the dancer had been mis- treated the day before the examination. Dr. Beatty sald she is now connected with a New Jersey State institution for women. The State attempted to show that her testimony differed in some respects from a statement she was rep- resented as having made to the dis- trict attorney’s office shortly after in- ception of the case. The State began its rebuttal with the understanding that the defense may produce its final witness, a physician, Monday.
