BY H. D. WHEELER. To all practical and far-reaching intents and purposes the Bist am hual meeting the American Bar association has ended The one great material object of the present session was attained ast night when after a bitter struggle in the auditorium of the Washington hotel here, the asso- ciation of the greatest trained legal minds of the na pledged iteelf unreservedly to a fight for the poor man, for legislation that will force the millionatre criminal to stand jequal before the law with the wretch: petty thief. Five big, br men, men who have established their right to stand in the first rank of their profession, led that fight last night. They were F. W. Lehman, of St. Louis, Roscoe Pound, of Chicago, Everett P. Wheeler, of New York city, and Samuel C. Eastman, of | Concord, N. Ho | Lawe Are Assailed. With a committee report whose words fell like the blows of a trip- hammer, they assailed before the association the laws that permit the rich to procure immunity from justice year after yeat, through in- tricate chnical trickery in the courts, and demanded that the as sociation pledge itself to use its influence to the end that congress may pass laws prohibiting appeals and retriais on technical error in civil cases, and limiting the juris- diction of the supreme court of the United States by prohibiting the issue of writs of error and habeas corpus returnable to the supreme court unless 4 justice of the high- est tribunal shall certify that there is probable cause to believe that there has been « miscarriage of ustice Spectacte Is Inspiring. The struggie for these principles in the New Washington hotei last night was a spectacle as Inspiring as it Was unexpected to the great major of the spectators. ‘Bhey were fighting stubbornly in the oper inst a sentiment which two y¥ * ago branded the words of Pound, then uttered in an ad- dress now embodied in a commit tee report, as anarchistic and dan- kerous Time and again, when the tide of sentiment was turned against him by the thundering eloquence of such men as E. H. Farrar, of Baton Rouge, and Judge Thomas O'Day, of Portland, Ore., Lehman, backed by Pound and white-haired Everett Wheeler, of New York, fought back erimly, determinedly, for his prin- ciples. Time and again Lehman, his great frame rising above the excited crowd that ked the auditorium, his face scarlet, his voice a hoarse whisper, his big fist rising and fall- ing with the rhythm of a sledge hammer, drove the radical convic- tions of his committee home, stirred his hearers into repeated bursts of applause until, with a final effort, he placed the American Bar asso- ciation on record—for the poor man Of Tremendous Importance. | That was what last night's meet- ing meant. That was why what transpired assumed tremendous {m- portance. Two years ago Roscoe Pound, then of Lincoln, Neb., now of Chicag lared before the aw sociation that the one great cause for the dangerous and popular dis- satisfaction with the administra- tion of justice, is the unnecessary delay in our courts. He did not spare the supreme court of the United States, asserting that the al on technical error, the suing for writs of error on grounds that showed no miscarriage of justice, must abolished. His v e met by a storm of pre ad dared to criti « the erning the high- est tribuna the land, to point weaknesses in the supreme t of United States.
