Asserting that the court’s censure had affected him more deeply than any other happening in his professional life, Samuel Untermyer, New York attorney, asked the Supreme Court yesterday to move from its record criticism of his conduct in a bankruptcy case recently decided. A decision handed down January 2 by Chief Justice Taft arraigned Unter- myer for what the court declared to be a demand by the lawyer for $70,000 of the fees paid to the Pittsburgh law firm of Weil & Thorp. Untermyer today asked the court to permit him or coun- sel to appear in defense of his profes- sional honor and he expressed a hope that in any event the court would mod- ify its censure of him. All the proceedings in the case in the lower courts, had won for him, he said, only expressions of commendation. “I'm only appealing to the court as a member of its bar,” Untermyer's pe- tition read, “to reconsider such portions of the opinion as question my ethical standards and condemn me for a breach of professional ethics of which I am wholly innocent.” BOSWELL CONVICTED OF LIQUOR CHARGES Three Co-Defendants With Former Tllinois Prosecutor Found Guilty—Fourth Freed.

While they may be desirable and worthy as visitors to Washington, if the tourist camp were inot there, these guests probably would | patronize some of the moderately priced hotels of the city. This matter is one Hotel Men's Association.” Several of the hotel men present sug- gested that something ought to be done about putting the lid on.“hot weather” publicity emanating - from Washington. Statements that Washington is a hot city during the Summer, Fritz said, un- doubtedly tend to keep business away from the city: “We don't like to have | such information spread throughout the country,” he protested. “There are other cities just as hot as Washington.” The meeting was presided over by Hugh P. Neason, chief clerk of the May- flower Hotel. Following the business meeting the Greeters were joined by members of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, of which Mrs. Julia Kracher of the Wil- lard is president.

Money for the survey, she said, was secured chiefly from the home-serving and home-equipping in- dustries, the largest contributors being the National Electric Light Association, the American Gas Association and the the utilities, however, she said, utilities were used by the federation. 1 | | “The motives of the federation in this work were singly purposed,” she ington” was made by Aaron J.

NEW YORK, January 26.—A severed telephone wire that prevented broad- | casting of a speech by Charles Evans Hughes was today the subject of an inquiry by radio officials, who believed it cut with malicious intent. Mr. Hughes spoke before the Bronx Bar Association and severely arraigned the dishonorable and unprofessional elements of the New York bar. The speech was prepared well in advance | and conjecture was that a copy of it might have fallen into the hands of some one inimical to the efforts being made by the association to purge thi profession. John Elwood, director of radio sta- tion WMCA, said he would demand a police investigation. He expressed cer- tainty that the wires had been cut | maliciously. Mr. Hughes praised the efforts that have been made to punish “ambulance chasers” and asserted that “to commer- cialize the bar, to introduce’ the methods of solicitation, of mass production, of trading on the opportunities for litiga- tion is inevitably to encourage frauds and perjuries and to destrav the sense of the personal, fiduciary relatfon which | protects both the client and the court.” He declared there is reason to fear “that many are coming to the bar who 1 are unfitted to appreciate the require- ments of professional duty,” while other well-meaning young practioners | are corrupted by the example of older { Jawyers who thrive on dishonorable and | unprofessional practices. i FIVE | DOCTORS ARRESTED ON WHISKY CHARGES Accused of Violating Prescription Section of Prohibition Law.
