OF the American Bar Association decided
that women are not eligible for member
ship in the association, under the pres
ent constitution. This decision was

the constitution which will make the
women eligible. The feature of the
morning session today was an address
by Congressman Charles E. Littlefield,
q. Maine, on THE Insular Cases" These
cases. he said, considered in the man

Denver, Aug. 2:..-The twenty fourth
annual meeting of the American Bar
Association opened with large at
tendance of members, and the par
quette and galleries of the Tabor grand
opera house were filled with visitors.
| Admission was by ticket, and the de-
mand for tickets was great. The i'm
portant feature of the morning session
was the address by President Edmund
Wetmore, of New York, reviewing the
important changes in the statute laws
of the nation. President Wetmore in
the opening address discussed the more
important legislation of the several
states under the following classical
ton: Corporations and trusts, labor,
taxation municipal ownership, cleo
tons, the administration of the law,
the civil and criminal and newly Gre
ated offences education, the laws re-
lating to marriage and the laws upon
miscellaneous subjects. for the regula-
ton of matters affecting public
health, morals or welfare. Corpora
lions and trusts he said, continue to
occupy much legislative attention. He
said: The incorporation of COM
pany in the state solely for the pur-
pose of doing business elsewhere is not
generally looked upon with favor in the
| states where they are intended to OPP
crate, and there is tendency to ex-
act, as far as possible, the same guar
antees and extend the same control
over foreign corporations as over those
i chartered by the state where they do
business, and even to hold the foreign
/ corporation to stricter accountable
ity. Mr.. Wetmore also said: THE
subject of trusts has entered into the
political issues that divide parties in
the country. Time and experience will
doubtless, show the expediency of mod
|ifying much of the legislation that has
4 been had upon this difficult subject
II 1t is striking fact, however, that
while thirty states of the union have

Il the same period the amount of capital
and labor employed in the form of con-
solidated incorporation, to which that
name is usually given, has, in those
4 very states, steadily, and even enor-
mously increased, which would seen
to show that without trenching upon
