Uses and Abuses.
Mr.. Charles D. Thompson Makes a
, Powerful Plea forsan In
dependent Court of
Appeals.


Once. year the members of the Hud-
son County Bar get together not osten-
sibly to discuss legal points. but to dis
cuss a good dinner But even then they
cannot refrain from talking shop, and
consequently on the toast list on these
occasions their beloved subject law takes
the pas.
Such was the case last night when
the lawyers met in the Hotel Washing
ton. The toast list bristled with @egali-
ties and even on the menu appeared, by
a pleasing fiction, something with which
the Imperial Counselor Justinian was sup
posed to regale himself when not dab
bling in his famous code.
The dinner was set for half-past six,
but it was seven before Mr.. Gilbert Col
Inns, President of the Bar Association,
led the procession into the long room
where a most appetizing dinner was
spread. Mr. Collins had on his right Mr..
S. c. T. Dodd, general counsel of the
Standard OIL Company, ex-Judge John
