wonderful facilities for the transmission inis sion slon of news and gossip from the capital to the remotest town that for anyone to become famous or infamous in Washl agton is to gain national distinction or notoriety who has not heard of boss bos shepard belva A lockwood and dr mary marv if any one protests against the tripling of these names I 1 will say that it is only for the sake of argument the great street grader the fantastic female in pantaloons and the woman lawyer have nothing in common except in the fact that they are conspicuous characters the sketching of congressional stars and telling the most trivial things about them has been a little overdone and I 1 propose to write about a few famous female personages who are as consistent in their inconsistencies as blaine bayard cox or butler mrs belva A lockwood by her persistent knocking at the doors of congress for vor admission to the supreme court of the united states has become somewhat famous namous throughout the country there is some difference of opinion as to her ability as a lawyer but she is certainly a ready and und enfa enna effective active speaker excelling perhaps like many lawyers in what may be called sentimental law she is shrewd and successful in the management of her cases and whatever advantage she may take of the opposition she is a little unique in that she has not been known to take advantage of her clients the late bill which passed the house of beare senta benta tives to permit female practitioners titio ners to appear at the bar of the supreme court was waa dorher for iler

involving the bill which passed the house in her favor has failed to pass the senate but not it would seemy seem from opposition of that body the learned judiciary committee of lof the senate assumed a that an enabling act was not necessary since the court itself had exclusive jurisdiction in the matter this view of the senate would seem to involve a deadlock dead lock ona on a nice question between the highest judicial and ind highest legislative body in the land forshen for when mrs lockwood li applied for admission at the bar of the supreme court two years ago one of the reasons for refusal as given in the opinion of chief justice walte was that there had been no legislation for the admission of women mrs airs lockwood li Is now in the fifth year of her practice and has all the
