Washington, Oct. 14.—Associate
Justice John M. Harlan, oldest mem
ber of the supreme court of the XJnit-
ed States, for years conspicuously in
Kentucky politics, once candidate,‘for
the republican nomination for vice
president of the United States, a fore
most constitutional authority and
prominent in the councils of the
Presbyterian church, died at his home
in this city today. He was 78 years
old last June.
Justice Harlan had been ill with
acute broncihitis less than a week.
He sat on the bench last Monday
when thee ourt heard arguments on
the so-called anthracite coal trust
case. The following morning Chief
Justice W’'hite announced that Justice
Harlan was “slightly ill” and yester
day asked attorneys to consider that
Justice Marian was sitting in their
cases although not physically present.
Justice Harlan, however, was in a
much more serious condition than his
colleagues in the court realized. De
spite his advanced age, he was robust
and ordinarily enjoyed the best, of
health. He was rarely absent from
the bench an attack of infiuenza a
few years ago being almost the only
illness from which he had suffered
for a long period.
The sudden death of Associate Jus
tice Brewer very much afjected. Jus-
■feummer of 191%* also was ag reat
shock to the venerable jurist.
Justicc Harlan continued to per
form his share of the work of the
court. His great ambition was to
serve until next June, when he would
have exceeded the service of any oth
er man who ever sat on that bench.
As it was his service was longer
than that of any other justice ex
cept Chief Justice Marshall and Asso
ciate Justice Stephen J. Field.
Mr. Field’s was the longest ser-

days; Mr. Marshall’s 34 years
