LAWYERS MEET
 NEXT AT SARATOGA
Several Good Speeches Made
 At the Annual Dinner
JUDGE TOWNSEND SPEAKS
He Answers Mir. LittlefieId's Denun- citation of the Supreme Courts De- clsion on the Porto RIcan
 cases-AbIe Argument.

Denver, Col. August 2a.-The executive committee of the National Bar Associa- tion this afternoon decided that the next meeting of the association shall be held at Saratoga. August q, 2S and 9. 1902.
 At the annual dinner tonight a large number of toasts were responded to.
 The most notable response was by Judge William K. Townsend of the United States district court, New Haven. Conn, who originally decided tho Porto Rican tariff cases. the decision of which by the Supreme Court has caused much comment. He said:
 MT. Chairman, was greatly interest ed yesterday in the satirical, though forcibie. address of the eminent gentle man from Maine. I honor his courage, ability and independence, but sir, I iis- tened in vain throughout the entire ad- dress for any statement of law or fact to support his assertions that the de- cision of the Supreme Court was con- trary to precedent and authority. From the time of the Louisiana purchase in 1903 to the treaty of Spain in 1888, the treaty-malxing power of the government has exercised the right to deal as 1t saw fit with the status of the inhabitants of ceded territory, and as Mir. Justice Brown says in his opinion, the statutes passed in pursuance of the Louisiana purchase show the view of Congress that a discrimination in favor of foreign ves- sells trading with the ports of a newly acquired territory is no violation of the clause of the constitution that declares that no preference shall be given to the ports of one State over those of another. The same practical construction was put upon the constitution in the case of the purchase of Florida and in the annex ation of Hawaii
 An old Precedent.
 ''Now. gentlemen, one hundred years ago the Supreme Court of the United States said that contemporaneous con- struction, especially when long acquiesced In, was very strong, If not controlling with reference to provisions of the con- stttution Chief Justice Marshal express ly left open the question whether any act of Congres was necessary to incorpor- at the inhabitants of newly acquired ter ritory. For 100 years we have acted upon the theory that such an act of Congress was necessary; that the imposition of dif- ferent rates of duty was not in violation of the constitution, and in our civil war we stamped out the heresy that the con- stftution followed the flag.
 And so, gentlemen, rejoice in this great decision of the Supreme Court that the framers of the constitution must not have intended that this country should come forth born as cripple into the fam fly of nations. but that she should pos- sess all the essential attributes of sover- eighty which would enable her to govern her possession according to the best in- terests of the American people, and sub ject to only those prohibitive provisions of the constitutions which guarantee pro- lection against the interference with na- tional rights"
