The Bar Association of the District of Columbia held a memorial service at 3 o'clock this afternoon for twenty- iwo of its members who have died since 1916, Members of the bench and Dbar crowded the courtroom in the «Court of Appeals building and listened to eulogies of the dead lawyers. Addresses were made by Justice A. A. Hoehling of the District Supreme Court, and Attorney Roger J. White- gord. James M. Beck, solicitor general of the United States, was expected to speak but was prevented by iliness from attending. Henry W. Sohon, president of the Bar Association, presided, and George C. Gertman was secretary. The ar- rangements were in the hands of a committee comprising Joseph A. Burkart, chairman; Alexander I, By Jonry E.- Davis, Jesse C. Adkins, George H. Lamar and United States Attorney Peyton Gordon. The list of the departed lawyers in- cluded: John D. Coughlan, Joh Daish, William F. Mattingl son Willlams, Edward L. Ridout, Conway Robinson, Jame; Iayden, Alan O. Clephaue, Danie Baker, Samuel Maddox, William Henry Dennis, A. E. L. Leckie, H. B. F. Mac- farland, ¥. Walter Brandenburg, James Francis Smith, Thomas C. Tay- lor, Edward Newman, Joseph J. Darlington, Evans Browne, B. F. Leighton and Mason N. Richardson. “This meeting has been called by the Bar Association of the District of Columbia in memory of its deceased members, and to me has been given nhe privilege,” said Justice Hoehling, “of paying the tribute of respect of the court to those whose names and useful and honorable professional scrvice we are proud to honor. “In giving expression to the tender and loviag re; H.

IHis preparation and study of the case upport or de- fense of which he appears is of the kreatest assistance to the judge is called upon to determine and decide the questions involved, with some, or pessibly all, of which questions the individual judge, theretofore, may not have had occasion to acquaint himself particularly or full; , Attorney Aid to Court. “And thus it is that the attorney is a distinct aid to the court in the ad- ministration of justice; and the meas- ure of that aid is in direct propor- tion to the integrity, learning, ability and experience of the attorney en- gaged in the particular cause. “The list of the former but now de- ceased members of the bar, in mem- ory of whom the members of both bench and bar are here gathered, is, indeed, a roll of honor. Every name inscribed thereon brings to the mind of each of us a life honorably spent in the great profession of the law and a success honorably attained; to each the bench is indebted as ha ing been of real service and aid in the administration of the work of the court.” Justice Hoehling expressed regret that time did not permit him to dwell on the lifework of the individual law- yers whose memory was being honored and sald it was his good fortune to have known them all. They did their work, he asserted, “honorably, up- rightly and well, and their names give an added luster to the ever-increasing r-;ll of honor of the deceased members of our bar.” Attorney Whiteford, speaking the Jament of the fellow lawyers-for the sald they honored their de- parted brothers “not because of the Joyal light in which they lived, but we Joved them for their practice of fidel- ity, for the exemplification of the daily virtues, and for the constancy of their Sriendship. Mr. Whiteford declared the associa- tion with the departed to plant in our lives the their virtues, and, throu comifg zenerations, the forces of their lives will be felt. Character survives, goodness lives and love is immortal. The speaker grouped the deceased lawyers into three classes, the elder men, the middle-aged ones and the iullnsel' lawyers. Of the_first class e singled out Joseph J. Darlington, to whom he paid a special tribute and whose memory, he said, would be for- ever green. He described him as “typical of human virtue, radiating courtesy and good humor, God-fearing ing and almost divinely patient,” and asserted that “above his intellectual gifts, above all he attained, rises his | integrity, like some great mountain yeak, and there it stands, firm as the earth beneath, pure as the stars above.” Passing to the younger men, the Epeaker referred to Alan O. Clephane, the first member of the bar to die in the war. Of Lieut. Clephane he said his life and character were “brighter cven than the glint of the gold star, representative of h ce.” for in him was exemplified the patriotic urge %o necessary in the life of the ideal lawyer. Included in the third classification ¢ the speaker was the name of Hen- ¥ B. F. Macfarland, former District “Who can forget,” he , “the earnest application to civic welfare and political duty manifest: in the life of Henry B. F. Macfarland At the sacrifice of personal gain and yprofessional employment he devote: 1he best years of his life to the wel- ‘are of our community, and muny of ur civic advantages are a monument Mr. Whiteford also paid tribute to the other deceased members of the assoclation and declared that each had left to the present-day lawyer u‘t?me qualification worthy of emula- I room.
