According to the Washington Star,
the ••whlsjterlng gallery” of the United
States Supreme court has beeu elim
inated. It waa Chief Justice White
who called It a “ whispering gallery.“
In a letter to Elliott Woods, auperta-
dent of the t-apltol he said:
‘T he sltuatlou Is at times almost
unhenrble, a result which will be read
ily appreciated when It la understood
that from one end of the rostrum to
the other there ex if t a what may be
described as a whispering gallery, by
which speech In the most modulated
tone is magnified and carried from
one end of the bench to the other, so
that a statement by one Judge at one
end to his uelghhor la magnified and
spoken Into the ear of a member of
the court at the other end."
The acoustic properties of the Su
preme courtroom have been very bad
since 1902, when the roof of the cen
tral portion o f the capitol was fire
proofed and the ceilings of the statu
ary ball and the present Supreme
courtroom were fireproofed.
The
character of the material used made
the surface sound-reflecting. The Su
preme court baa had e greet deal of
troublo from that time with the re
flection of round from the spherical
celling.
This defect has now been

was crowded to capacity, and several
police officers were stationed about

At an Impressive moment, while the
defendant was on the witness stand,
a commotion was heard at one of. the
courtroom doors. Into the midst of
the nervous spectators walked a
large colored woman who carried In
one hand a formidable-looking rifle.
Policemen and detectives seized her
and rushed her Into an outside room,
where they began examining the

annoyed because a tree In tbe neigh

tree was the property of some Jesuit
fathers, on whom M. Clemenceau
called, politely explaining that hls at
titude to the church was unchanged,
hut lie would regard It as a jiersonal
favor If the Jesuit fathers would cut
down the tree, "because It prevents me
from seeing the heavens.” The Jesuit
father who received him was very
courteous and was much flattered hy

the offending tree should he speedily
