BAR SHUNS OPEN - DRY LAW ACTIN Prohibition Question to Stay in Committee’s Hands Another Year. By the Assoclated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn.,, October 24— Profibition, placed on the front door- step of the American Bar Agsociation by the wet wing of the organizatior, probably will remain there for another year at least under care of the Volun- tary Committee of Lawyers, Inc. Leaders of the committee said yester- day the association was not yet ready to vote on repeal of the cighteenth amendment and the anti-Volstead or- anization, which led successful fights fore the bars of New York City, Bos- ton and Philadelphia, will do missionary work in the South and West before making a concerted campaign in the eeneral association. Simon Tells of Germany. ‘The committee established headquar- ters here, and its members were getting expressions from the lawyers of the general association. Cards signifying disapproval of the amendment were be- ing signed by members of the bar in large numbers, it was stated, and while prohibition is not on the records of the general association it is on the tongues of a majority of the members How Germany, its palaces empty, its armies defeated, swayed between bol- shevism and a limited democracy in the dark night after the war and found strength in its judiciary was described last night by Dr. Walter Simon, retired chief justice of the Supreme Court of Germany, former Prussian premier and minister of foreign affairs and acting President of the German republic until :)he election of President von Hinden- urg. The German courts, Dr. Simon ex- plained, were able to suffer the travail of the revolution and survive because the Teutons—strangely enough—adopted a Gallic constitution and followed the garlntlplu of government advocated by lontesquieu. High Courts Saved Nation, The judiclary found itself without authority when the empire crumbled, he said, but the high courts saved the Nation and the new government by cut- ting procedure with one militant stroke and holding that the de facto - ment had power to make laws, binding the administration and the judiciary. Guenry E. Newlin, president of the association, pledged the bar to protect the public against “unlawful enforce- ment of the law, to wipe out a serious biot upon the administration of justice and to restore constitutional rights of the people.” In his annual address he sent a mes- sage to the White House with the cheer- ing approval of the lawyers in the state- ment that the bar would back President Hoover in grappling with “the alarming disobedience of law, the abuses of law enforcement and the growth of or- ganized crime.” He advocated universal compulsory jury service, and termed the modern jury trial “a sorry exhibition of what is supposed to be the best practical mode of justice yet devised by man.” . sl Will Excavate 0ld Palace.
