TO INVESTIGATE JUDGE M,YNARD's COURSE
The enthusiastic meeting Of the Bar Association Oh
Tuesday evening discussed where ever TWO or
moro lawyers met yesterday. The representative chdr
acter OF the meeting especially commented on
and IL was remarked that seldom in the history OF inc
association had many well-known members OF 'he
New York Bar attended of It's meetings. Nhch
such James G. Carter Frederic H. 'ouuti''
Elilnl Root ex-1udge Noah Davis Francis VI scott
Henry r. Beekman. Everett y. Wheeler Austen IT,
Fox Wheeler H. Peckham and score Of Others VINO
might be mentioned all turn out on night and take
an active interest in tne proceedings the matter nndcr
discussion naturally becomes more important 'hdh ~
wOud be at regular meeting when company -
lawyers of ordinary learning and Prominence was
present.. For these reasons, that 50 many men
who are in the front ranks OF the bar OF this city were
present, the few TammaDy henchmen WHO tr9ed !"
throw dscrcdt on the whole proceeding In al attempt
TO turn the meeting into q political one, elehaiN
failed and these same small fry were efectually sup
pressed by men Of such prominence that IN" pfOceS>
must have been a painful one to The VICTIMS lNy
sGurmed around under the cutting sarcasm OF MI
Coudert and when the meeting was over thcF so"i
dsappeartd from the rooms Of the association Instead
of waiting to discuss the matters brought up al ile
meeting, as most Of the members did Lawyers d.
cussed the meeting among themselves yesterday, but
they did not care TO say anything for publication uhil
after the next meeting Of the association wheh u'e
special committee which the president of the a'Socia

There was also much speculation as to the makeup
Of this committee. The work Of this committee VIII

port as TO what facts they find, at meeting OF the as
ISOLATION 10 be held the evening OF March ~ buy
they will also have 10 advise a. TO what ACTON small
be taken by the association. In View OF tins, MI
Pecklam has not been ha>ty in deciding who Is 10 BE-
on the committee and he said Yesterday that he would
not reach a decision until to-day. The committee Will
not receive any Instructions from him, and its WORK
Will be entirely free and independent.
Mr. Pcckham said yesterday, when asked what the
committee would naturally do first that the natural
course OF an ordinary investigation could hardly be hell
10 apply to the Investigation In question: such step
has not been taken against a judge by the Bar A.
ISOLATION since the time OF the Tweed ring. Then
two Judges who had been mixed up in The tlnevcy
and swindleS Of that period were ihpcached
