HEN Charles Evans Hughes
takes his place on the Unit
ed States supreme court
bench on Oct 10 h will be
the youngest member , of the court.
Governor Hughes Is forty-eight years
old. and the youngest member next to
him, Justice Moody, Is eight years bis
senior. Of the other members of our
highest judicial tribunal Chief Justice
Fuller and Justice Harlan are each
seventy-seven, or nearly thirty : years
older than . Hughes. , Justice Holmes Is
slxty-nlne, Justice McKeuna sixty-seven,
.Justice Lurtou slxty-slx, Justice
White slxty-flye and Justice Day sixty-one.
The average ago of the Jus
tices, including Hughes, will thus be
a trifle over slxty-flve years, or sev
enteen years older than the governor
himself. ; Justice ; Hughes . will, have
twenty-two years to serve before he
reaches the age of voluntary retlre
raect, and If hn lives to the age of
Marshall, Tiuey, Field and others of
the great justices of the past he will
be on the bench over thirty years, or
till very nearly the middle of the
twentieth century, .
Should Justice Moody recover his
heulth aud take his place at the be
ginning of the October term of court
there will be a full bench for the first
time in more than' a year. Owing to
Moody's illness and the deaths of Jus
tices reckham and Brewer the Court
has met during the. present season
often with only seven members and
sometimes with only six.
Tho supreme court that convenes in
October will be a distinguished body
Wide from Its own peculiar fame.
Among Its members will be three for
mer cabinet officers, McKenna, pny
and Moody; one former United States
senator. White; one noted law writer
and , chief Justlqe of the Mflssaclau
setts court, Holmes; one circuit judge"
that served with President Taft, Lur
ton; one former governor of the Em
pire State and presidential possibility;
Hughes, and two white haired jurists
who have gained fame through long
service in the supreme court Itself,
Fuller and. Harlan. Geographically
there will be two members from Mas
sachusetts and one each from New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennes
see,' Louisiana and California. Po
litically the court will , stand six Re
publicans and three Democrats. Two
of the. Justices, White and Lurton,
were soldiers In the Confederate army,
and two more, Harlan and Holmes,
fought in the Union army..
' Graduated at Thirteen.
. Governor Hughes is a son of a Bap
tist minister. From the time of his
birth in Glens Falls, N. I on April
11, 1802. until his father was called to
New York city from Newark, N. J
about .twelve years later, the family
was more or less on the move. ' His
mother had been a schoolteacher be
fore her marriage, and, realizing the
disadvantages that a child labors un
der In getting an education first at this
school and then at that, she decided to
teach the boy JjerSfLlf."

In the one year that he went to pub
lic school In Newark and' during his
brief public school career in New York,
ending with his graduation at the age
of thirteen,, he showed a proficiency
beyond hlj years In mathematics and
a" memory for flares that proved as
tonishing to his teachers.' ; While at
Colgate university (then Madison) and
later on at Browu univ arslty, where he
graduated in 1881, ho was frequently
Interpreter of higher mathemntlcs for
his fellow students. ;-'
Governor Hughes took pp the study
of law while a student at Brown uni
versity. r After leaving Brown Mr.
Hughes ' became . a teacher at Delhi,
N. Y, and between the hours when he
was teaching Greek and mathematics
studied law at an ofSce there. As a
clerk he took particular delight In Illu
minating the accounts of obscuration
that fell to his lot, and in the early
years of his practice it Was frequently
his habit to seek amusement in solv
ing mathematical rebuses aud puzzles
and In inventing and solving problems.
After a year at Delhi Mr. Hughes
decided that the only proper place to
study law was at a law school, and he
entered the Columbia Law school in
1882 at the age of twenty. Two yeas
later he was graduated, taking a fel
lowship In his senior year, which en
titled him to conduct a quiz for three
yenrs at a salary of $500 a year. This
was of great assistance to the embryo
lawyer,' just at the threshold of his ca
reer, and he also conducted a private
quiz" on his own account at the same
time while he was getting started in a
law otBce. ' . ;
Mr. Hughes first had a desk in the
law office of General Stewart L. Wood
ford, who' was then United States at
torney, and a short time later entered
the law office of Chamberlain, Carter
& Hornblower of New York city.
HARL$ E.HUGHES
His Pint Case,
While a clerk with this firm Mr.
Hughes got his .'first case and after
twelve months of hard work woo a de
cision, but no great financial reward.
It was shortly after this, to 1887, that
he became a member of the firm which
was then known as Carter, Hughes &
Cravath.
Mr. Hughes had always had a strong
Inclination toward teaching, and In
1891 he became a member of the law
faculty of Cornell university, remain
ing there for. two years.. He then re
entered the law firm and In 1905 be
came the active head, Mr. Carter hav
ing died, of Hughes, Rounds & Bchur
man. - ,:;, ,v, ;
It was in this same year, that Mr.
Hughes first came . prominently into
the public eye, when he was made
counsel for the legislative commission
that investigated the cost 'of gaa la
New York city. The idea of accepting
the position did not appeal; to Mr.
Hughes, as he had always kept to' a
strictly private pracUce'. :
- In thla gas investigation Hughes set
a new standard for work of the kind.
His grasp of technical detail was amaa
ing to the specially trained men who
represented the gas companies, and his
ability to extract facts . essential to
the commission was extraordinary.
: ' Famed as aa Investigator,
So tboroush vas bis work in the gas
investigation that he was generally re
garded as the only candidate when the
Arrastronj. com rate Ion,, niet. to choose
counsel for the insurance Investiga
tion., Mr. Hughes conducted the In
vestigation of tbe lusurnnce companies!
with thesaiiie esactitude'of detail that
had characterized his work in the gas
investigation and left the state stag
gered by the results accomplished.
By the time Mr. Hughes had con
ducted the gas and insurance investi
gations his fame as an investigator
had spread abroad, and Attorney Gen
eral Moody appointed him counsel for
tne rederal investigation Into the busi
ness of the coal carrying railroads
with ' relation to" their ownership of
coal properties. The appointment was
offered to. Mr. Hughes and Alexander
Simpson, Jr., and this work was as
thorough as that of Mr. Hughes in the
gas and Insurance Investigations. Then
came the uominutlon that led to Mr.
nughes'.elettion us governor of New
York in 190(1.
Mr. Hughes, gets his powers of en
durance primarily from an ancestry
of Welsh, Scotch and Irish. Ills fa
ther came of Welsh and Scotch stock
and his mother of Scotch and Irish.
He has developed the heritage, how
ever, by the practice of a theory In
which he is a firm believer. He holds
that under the right conditions a man
cannot overwork his brain, lie says a
well organized and developed brain Is
like the muscle of a highly trained
athlete, which Is only bettered by con
stant hnrd work. "Exercise the brain"
is one of his maxims,, and he lives up
to it. ' '
