The Alabama State Bar Association met in its twenty-eighth annual ses- sion yesterday morning in the ball Of the House of Representatives with lawyers present from all Alabama.
 The features of the day were the ad- dresses of Hon. John w. Judd of Ten nessee. who spoke on the "Fourteenth Amendment; Its History and Evolu- tion," and Judge William l.. Cham bers of Washington, who spoke on 'The Ministry of the Lawyer" The speech of Judge Judd was a masterful and lucid discussion of a subject that lawyers find something new in every year they practice. He was listened to atteEtively by over 15o lawyers and throng of ladies and laymen. Judge Chambers was eloquent and forceful in discussing his subject.
 The address of Judge Thomas R. Roulhac. President of the Association. was another feature of the days ses- sion. Judge Roulhac discussed forci- bly some of the more important topics of today and his address was thor oughly appreciated by his audience.
 In striking contrast with the heated and argumentative sessions of last year, was the meeting of the lawyers yesterday. There was absolutely no argument on any single point. Ihe papers were read and enjoyed but there was no debate. The lawyers were as lively, however. as crowd of school boys on an outing It was representative body of lawyers that assembled in Montgomery yesterday The flower of the brilliant bar of the State was there and one could hardly imagine that the men who were yes terday shaking hands, joking and smoking, were the dignified barristers who may have been a week before battling with each other in $1o,ooo cause.
 Judge Judd's Reception.
 The reception given Judge Judd was most cordial. Judge Judd was well known by all the Alabamians as a lawyer. In person, he looks just about like what one would expect of a man named Judd from Tennessee, the typi- cal Southern lawyer. Large. round, with frank face and powerful voice. graceful gestures and forceful deliv- cry he made a fine impression.
 At the close of his address he was unanimously voted an honorary mem Der of the Association.
 Judge Chambers was at home In Montgomery, having practiced law here some time ago. His reception was cordial and his friends noted his good health with great pleasure
