Stone, appointed Chief Justice. They have presented their respective commissions and have taken the oaths prescribed by law. It is ordered that their commissions be recorded and that their oaths be filed." The CHIEF JUSTICE said: "With profound sorrow I announce the death last evening of Louis Dembitz Brandeis. For nearly twenty-three years he was in active service as an Associate Justice of this Court, and from February 13, 1939, when he exercised his right of retirement, until his death, he was a retired Justice of this Court. "Learned in the law, with wide experience in the practice of his profession, he brought to the service of the Court and of his country rare sagacity and wisdom, prophetic vision, and an influence which derived power from the integrity of his character and his ardent attachment to the highest interests of the Court as the implement of government under a written constitution. His death brings to a close a career of high distinction and a life of tireless devotion to the public good. "The funeral service will be private. There will be a public memorial service at a time and place to be later announced. "As a mark of respect to Justice Brandeis' memory the Court will adjourn without transacting further business. "The papers upon all motions now ready for submission be filed with the Clerk and will receive the attention of the Court. may "To enable the Court to consider in conference and make appropriate disposition of the great number of petitions for certiorari and other applications which have been filed during the summer, the recess of the Court will be continued until Monday, October 13. The Court will now adjourn." Ace Patents Corp., Chicago Coin Machine Co. v.. 637, 705 A. G. Reeves Steel Construction Co. v. Weiss...... 677 A. H. Belo Corp., Fleming v... 601 Alabama v.
