LAWYERS OF NEBRASKA MEET | Tiird Anrual Cenvention of State Bar| Ast0o.ati'n Begins Werk, REPORTS OF COMMITTEES COME FIRST roram Includes Number of Papers | on Live Legal Toples, Reception and Smoker and Big Ban. anet at the Close. The numerical strength of the supreme court was the dominant consideration in yesterday's session of the Nebraska State Bar association, which is now in third an- nual assembly. President 8. P. Davidson gave it considerable attention in his ad- | dress and the committee on leglelation af- | fecting the profession dealt with it at even | greater length. Mr. McIntosh of that com- mittes submitted a resolution for a bill leaving the jurisdiction of the supreme eourt as it now is, buf leaving to the legl lature the number of judges and their sa ries, this to be done by an amendment to the constitution. Judge J. B. Letton of Fairbury opposed further attempt at secur- ing constitutional amendment and argued for a constitutional convention. Finally his motion (hat It be dealared the sense of the association that the prement legislature should prepare for a constitutional conven- tion prevailed. President Davideon's Address. Yesterday's scssion opened at 2:30 with the address of President Davidson, which was in part as follows Two years the docket of the sa- prema court the state was 80 large 1 w0 rapldly Increasing that the judges | overwhelmed with the work before | the deluys Incldent to the condition | of the docket were producing in many | cuses an absolute denial of justice, and | the practice of the jaw was becoming un- settled and dlsorganized. Through your | recommendation and the persistent f‘fa rts of your committees n temporary expedient was resorted to. A commission of nine members was authorigzed and appointed. It I8 true that the able commission that was appointed has so effectively alded the | court that the docket of that court is almost clear, and the court and the pro- fession can now hope that the old busi- | nhess will soon be entirely disposed of. This expedient that was adopted by reason of the force of circumstances, while it has proven to have been effective, was and is not entirely satisfactory to either the bar or the court Sam: Lo in the way of | an lncre the namber of the judges | of the supreme court is urgently deman: It is cvigent that the oniy permanent re- lef from an overcrowded docket can only | come from an Jucrease ln the number of | the judges of the supreme court. Whether | this cun be best accomplished by the sub- mimion of an amendment making euch | provision, or callllng a constitutional con- vention that will be authorized to propose an entire reorganization of the court, and propose other mu-h needed changes in our consiitution for the people under your lead t rmine. But the pres- ent, uptil pefmanent reifof can be obtained, It kcems 1o me to be wise to continue the present commission or provide for commission of a smaller namber of com- missioners to continue to assist the court, To Curb Anarchy.

D. McHugh, 8s chairman, stated that the committea on law reform considered that the committee on legisla- tion affecting the profession had sufMciently covered the ground and therefore had no report to make, sislation Affee Profession. In presenting the report of the commit- tee of legtslation affecting the profession, Chairman R. W. Breckenridge said In part: The temporary expedient of a supreme cqurt commission has worked excellently: largely because of the endorsement given the plan by this assoclation. A commission of nine was provided by the session of the Jegisiature which convened two years ago. The court was fortunate In the selection of the commissioners and except that thoy have all had at least twice as much to do a8 they should have had in justice to them- selves and the litigants of this state, their work has been of & very high standard and the majority of the ~reported opinions emunating from the various members of the commission are equal to those of any court and are far superior to much of the Nebraska case law Wwhich present members of the court have occasionally followed, | but, while following it. have apologized for | doliig €0.

ENJOY SMOKER IN EVENING McIntosh Reads Papér on “Power of Congress to Regulate Corporations.” nt It was through the blue haze from many rich Havanas that the visiting delegates to the annual meeting of the State Bar asso- clation saw Omaha on their first night herc. They were the guests of the Omaha Bar as- sociation at a smoker given In the parlors of the Commercial club, and the matural | afnity of all legal minds found just the proper flavor In the mellowing smoke to make the evening a social success. Not all the delegates had yet arrived, but thoso who were in town were glad of it, and those who were not will be sorry for it when they hear today what they missed. The sole set speech of the evening was by J. H. MeIntosh, whese subject was, “The Power of Congress to Regulate Industrial Corporations.” The paper treated the sub- ject exhaustively, each point being rein- forced by citations from federal court de- cisions. The conclusions of the speaker | upon the points at lssue were: From the very nature of the thing there 1s not, mor can be, any connection what- ever between Interstaie commerce and tho form of the corporate organization, the scope of the corporate Tights, powers, rivileges or purposes of & corporation lormed for or engaged In the production of articles that may become the subjects of interstate trade; there is not, nor can be, any connection’ whatever between inter- state commerce and the property owned or controlled by a corporation engaged In production, or the means employed by it in acquiring property, or the place, or the extent, or the methods of its productive operations. Tnder the commerce clause of the con- stitution, then, cosgress cannot by direct legislation regulate industrial corporatioas in respect to their capitalization, their in- vestments, the motives that inflvence them or in any manner superyise or control thelr productive operations. These are not com- merce. ‘Their corporate franchises are de- rived from the states, which had an un- bounded right tosgrant them. What uses they shall make of these franchises, or ends accomplished. under them, the states that granted them wiay say, Bt congress. When, however, & corporation hAs monopo- lized the production and sale of & public necessity, congress may, for thé public §ood, limit the price charged In interstate trade. As & result of this discussion I cannot but conclude that the powers of congress o regulate industrial corporations are con- fined within narrow limits. Broadly speak ing, congress seems to be powerless directly to regulate or restrict the organization of industrial corporations, to lmit their cap- fzation, to inquire Lito or interfere with | nvestments or to question the mo- {ves or 1o control (he methods of their productive operations. Nof apparently can Congress do any of these by indirection. In short, under the distribution of the powers Of government agreed upon between the United States and the states and the peo- ple thereof, it would eeem, the hand of Songress cannot reach these corporations at Wl until their transactions either become interstate commerce, or directly and imme- diately affect it On this great question, however, upon which there is so much diversity of well matured opinion, the supreme court alone can speak with authority. The people are much concerned to know what can be done and what cannot. A As yet, che Shermaa Jaw his not been fully developed. There are those that belleve its provisions, if faitntully enforced, would furnish full're- liet. The bilf lutely introduced in congress by Senator Hoar, if it should become a law. covers the whole case; and If sustained by the court, cannot but prove a val measure for regulating these corporations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. §—When the senate met today a house bill was passed amend- ing the international revenue la allowing all distilled spirits now in bonded ware- houses, or which may hereafter be pro- duced and deposited therein, the same al- lowance for loss or leakage and evaporation | which now exists on distilled spirits de posited prior to Jamuary 1. 1899, A blll was also passed authorizing the secretary of the Interfor to prescribe rules and regulations for the procurement of timber and stone for domestic and In- dustrial purposes in the Indian Territory. Oppones Free Coal. Mr. Aldrich (R. I.) then addressed the senate on the question of removing the duty on coal He began by stating that such a plan would not afford the reliof sought. It infringed the rights of the house with respect to revenue bille, The attempt to afford relief, sald Mr. Aldrich, through a method that would open a discussion here as to the constitutional rights of the senate and the constitutional prerogative of the house that would out- last the coal famine is not a profitable method of securing results. Mr. Aldrich recited the facts relating to the coal tariff, saying that in 1894, when the democrats were in control of the sen- ate, the house sent the Wilson bill to the senate with coal free of duty. The demo- cratic finance committes and the democratic | nenate with the exception of Mr. Hill of New York, voted t& put a duty of 40 cents a ton on coal, although they had the power to admit coal free of duty. Turning to the democratic side and speaking with considerable emphaste, Mr. Aldrich said You have always been In favor of fre coal when your opinions were of no value to the country: on the day when you could glve the country free coal you deliberately and unanimously voted the other way. It therefore comes with Il grace for senators to criticise the action of the senate in 1507 in view of the action taken in 1894, Mr. Aldrich eaid\the high price of fuel in the country now was not due to the present tarifr. Cleveland Urged It. Mr. Vest (Mo.) replying, said Mr. Aldrich remarks could be read between the lines. He simply was opposed to the resolution. He sald it was an open secret how the rate of 40 cents & ton was put on coal in the Wil- son bill; that there were five democratic senators opposed to the bill who were in | position to dictate what should be placed in the bill and that their votes were needed to pass the measure. President Cleveland, he eald, had urged freo coal on congress. ““We were held up,” sald Mr. Vest, “to use plain vernacular, and told it we dared to put free coal in the bill it would be défeated. A com- promise therefore was effected on the basis of 40 cents a ton. “What does it matter how anybody voted in 18947 he inquired. “Is that an answer to the poor, freezing people now who de- mand immediate reliet?’ He referred to his former statement that the rates in the Difigley bill were made s high to render possible the negotiation of reci- procity agreements and sald {t was based on information he belleved to be true. In support of this allegation he read an editorfal from a Washington paper reter- ring to a private conversation in which Mr. Dingley was declared to have made the statewent. Mr. Hale (Me.) characterized the article as a remarkable statement. t was never made in Mr. Dingley's life- he said. And then, speaking of the Dingley bill, declared it “a great, mag- nificent andmunicifent gift to the American people in the cause of protection and pros- perity.” Mr. Hoar (Mass) declared that such resolutions as that under discussion were futile In securing the objects sought and contended that all legislation sffecting revenue should originate in the house. Mr, Vest ex'ained his action In offering a resolution instead of a bill, saying he felt sure a bill, after its reference to a com- mittee, would never be reported. His ob- ject was to attention to the condition of tha country. Roverting to his statement concerning the object of placing the rates so high in the Dingley bill, he read a letter from the editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin, saying the statement attributed to Mr. Dingley was made to a writer on the staff of that paper in March, 1897 g Hale Defends Dingley. Mr. Hale entered into a defense of Mr. Dingley, saying the statement attributed to him was radically opposed to all his utter- ances and involved the charge of insin- cerity. The debate was cut short by Mr. Quay (Pa.) demanding the regular ord.r and the resolution went over, to come up on the next iegislative day. The statehood bill then taken up and Mr. Nelson (Minn.) continued his remarks begun on Monday. He had not concluded when, at 4 o'clock, by unanimous consent, the senate considered unobjected bills on the calendar. The following were passed: Granting additional lands adjacent to the site of the University of Montana to the university; to authorize, settle and com- promise certain litigation pending o the circult court for the western district of in which the eastern band of Cherokee Indigns are involved; to re- divide the district of Alaska into three re cording and judicial divisions. The bill providing for the retirement of Captain R, P. Hobson brought forth a pro- test from Mr. Cockrell (Mo.), who thought congress should not be made a court of ap- peals to hear applications from officers after they had been declared fit for sctive service. Mr. Morgan (Ala) characterized it is an exceptional case and sald he did not in- tend that Captain Hobson's reputation or character shou!d be damaged by any objec- tion against him. Bills also were passed as follows: For the reliet of certain enlisted men in the navy; to provide for the purchase of a site and the erection of a public building thereon at Shamokin, Pa. (the bill carries an appropriation of $100,000); to provide for a bridge across Rainy river in Minge- sota.
