come to me In reference 10 the recent artces III inc
daily press in which there were msstaternen's' ana
which have placed me and the Executive Commit

ton before the public, wish to say, frst, that the
snac,al meeting of the Executive Committee OF the
association on Wednesday night. May 49, was not
called for the purpose OF turning down Alexander
Schwalbach; second that the said meeting was not
called 70 order at $50 o'clock sharp but that 1t was
S:42 o'clock before the call was made; thrd that
eleven members OF the Executive Committee voted
unanimously on the question Of changing the place
of the semi-annua meeting from Alexander Sch"a-
bach's bicycle hall to the Riding and Driving Club
seven being quorum; fourth that politics and per-
sonal feeling had nothing to do with the calling OF
this meeting; fifth. that the reporters VINO nave

present until the meeting was over; SIXTH that
when the Executive Committee accepted Mr. Schwai-
hachs offer of his bicycle hall II had no idea that II
could get the Riding and DRIVING oluo lot .ne

WATERS SCATHING WORDS
Regarding the Lawyers Practising ia
San Francisco
Careful Observation Shows the Bay Bar to
Represent the Sodom and Gomorrah
of the Profession

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-"San
Francisco is the Sodom and Gomorrah
of the legal profession" This is the
scathing Indictment presented by By
ron Waters, claim adjuster of the South
ern Pacific, of the legal profession of
San Francisco.
The claims adjuster was discussing
with a Chronicle reporter his action of
the previous day in presenting c. NJ.
Jennings to the supreme court for dis
barment. The accused lawyer had sug-
suggested that the proceedings had been
taken against him because of his per-
sistency in pressing against the railroad
company the Robinson suits involving
$500 900, and had declared that a trap
might have been set for him to down
him.
IF Jennings swears to any such
thing I will send him to prison de-
clared Waters. He surrendered the pa
pers surreptitiously obtained from my
office, but it was not under promise
made or implied that the matter would
be dropped He did so under my stern
command.
There are about 1000 or 1900 lawyers
in San Francisco. Among them are a
percentage of high minded, honorable
men, but there is also large percentage
who are shysters and scoundrels. Every
year two hundred or more young men
are turned out of the law colleges or
attorneys offices to make their living.
They have a few books and, possibly.
enough money to get along a few
months. They are turned out, however,
among this set of hyenas of whom have
been telling you, and most of them
must either adopt the methods of those
shysters or starYe to death
I'm the case of which we are speaking
I did not submit the matter to the San
Francisco Bar association, nor do / in
tend to take such action in similar cases
in the future. ! have heard that the Bar
association resolves itself into a town
meeting and whitewashes its offenders
against the law and against simple die
tates of honor. | am ashamed to say
it, but there are members of the pro-
fession of the law in San Francisco
who would not hesitate to commit any
crime from burglary to petit larceny
There are high minded, distinguished
and learned firms and others who are
not above the employment of capper;
and the use of other dishonorable means
IN their desire to grab more business for
themselves. l have observed the prac-
tlce of the law here since 1891, and | am
convinced that San Francisco is the Sod

THE SOCIALISTS IN SESSION
They Keep Order Long Enough to Adopt
Reports
The Workingman's Only Hope Lies In Prompt
Alliance With the Great Socialist.
ic Movement

LONDON. July S1.-At the session to-
day of the international Socialist labor
and trades union congress at st. Mar
tins town hail. NJ Valiant the French
Socialist deputy, was chairman. and
Matthew Mcguire, the leading delegate
of the Socialist labor party of theUnited
States, was vice-chairman.
The congress adopted the report of the
committee on education and physical
development, favoring a government
system of public education extending
from the kindergarten to the university
and including physical. scientific, arts
tic and technical subjects to be genuine
ly accessible to every one by freedom
from fees and public maintenance of the
scholars. The report prohibits the en-
ployment of children under eighteen
years of age in night work or in work in
volving labor over twenty-four hours
weekly.
DR.. James Kier- Hardie argued that
whatever expense the maintenance of
scholars be their university education
would be it would be followed by COM
pensation in the dimnution in the num-
Der of criminals.
A discussion of the abolition of the
standing army and the substitution for
them of international arbitration was
then discussed at length. Many of the
delegates opposed the abolition of
standing armies, claiming that it would
place the proletariat more in the power
of the upper classes.
The report of the commission was
passed in favor of the abolition of the
standing armies and the establishment
of national citizens force and in ia
vor of the establishment of tribunal of
arbitration whose decision should be
final and whose duties it should be to
regulate disputes between nations, add
ing that the request of war or peace
should rest with the people where the
governments refuse to accept the award
of the tribunal ofy arbitration, and also
protesting against secret societies, de-
clarng that the workingman can only
obtain the objects enumerated by gain
ing control of the legislation and ally
ing themselves with the international
Sociallstic movement.
