SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1912. Present: MR. JUSTICE MCKENNA, MR. JUSTICE HOLMES, MR. JUSTICE LURTON, MR. JUSTICE Hughes, MR. JUSTICE Van Devanter, and MR. JUSTIce Lamar. Mr. Justice McKenna said: "I will say to the gentlemen of the Bar that the Chief Justice is detained at home, and I will read a statement prepared by him: 666 'MRS. DAY, wife of MR. JUSTICE DAY, died on Friday afternoon at their home in Canton, Ohio. "When we assembled for the commencement of the term, MR. JUSTICE DAY was absent, and we learned that he was prevented from coming by the illness of MRS. DAY. We soon came further to know the serious character of that illness and the ever-present dread which existed that any moment it might terminate fatally. Indeed, during the time which has elapsed our sympathy has gone out to our brother in the cruel and relentless anguish with which he has been incessantly encompassed, ending in the dread bereavement which has come to him. ""The funeral services take place at Canton this afternoon. Were it possible, we should attend the ceremonies in a body, and to enable us to do so would adjourn for the day. Unable to be present, however, we shall yet in spirit be there. As a manifestation of our participation in spirit in the ceremonies, and as a mark of our sorrow and affection for the living and respect and tenderness for the memory of the dead, we shall transact no business today, but will adjourn until to-morrow morning. Adjourned until to-morrow at 12 o'clock. xxix TABLE OF CONTENTS. TABLE OF CASES REPORTED. Acme Harvester Company v.
