Denver, Aug. 21.-The second annu-

ton Of Attorneys General opened IN
the court Of appealsrcom at the state
capitol here Thursday morning witn
representatives from more than nall
the states Of the Union present.
Herbert s. Hadley OF Missouri, pres
ident Of the association, made the op-
euing address, his subject being The
Results Of AAttTrust Litigation"
Among other things, Mr.. Hadley said:
'The Judge who cannot see the stan
dard Oil company Of New Jersey n
the Standard on company and cannot
see through both Of these legal nc
tions to the real owners and the real
Offenders, John D. Rockefeller, II. II.
Rogers, John Arehbold and others, Is
either blinded by prejudice or has an
unfortunate disposition to obscure the
merits Of controversy by strained
and irrelevant teehnicalhies.
"To assert that men may, by the
organization Of q puppet corporation,
escape the proper measure Of punish
ment for their wrong doing" he said,
.ls to give to the legal fiction Of the
corporation greater rights, privileges
and immunities than those which be-
long to natural persons"
"The New Question OF States
Rights" was the subject Of a paper
read by Thomas W. Martin, assistant
Encouragement Of Alabama, at the
afternoon session.
Mr.. Martin discussed the rights Of
states in controversies with railroads
and the decision Of the United States
supreme court in the case Of Edward
7. Young, March 20, 1908, against the
state Of Alabama. He contended that
the supreme court went further in the
decision Of the great constitutional
question there decided than It had
ever gone before, and be believed that
Il would in time recede from this pQ-
sition. This opinion, he said, might
prevent the state from being repre-
sented in its own courts by its own
chief law officer upon issues invoiv'
ing the constitutional validity Of the
states enaetments. This would give
the federal court jurisdiction to en-
Join a states attorney from inforeins

The discussion Of the paper was LED
By W. E. Mullen, attorneygeneral Of
Wyoming, who suggested that legis
