 meeting of the territorial bar associa ton in Phoenix in the election of Al torney Leroy Anderson as vice pres ident of the association. Attorne, Anderson was also appointed chair man of the legislative committee of the association. The secretary wa, instructed to invite all members O, the bar throughout the territory to submit to the committee any proposed changes or corrections in the territori al statutes they may see ft. It was the conccnsus of opinion of the disci pies of Blackstone present at the meet ing that there are number of contra dictory laws on the statute books which should be remcded by legisla ton.
 Attorney Anderson and his commit. tee will compile the various suggestions received from his fellow members of the bar and submit the same to the | Legislature. It is believed that the suggestions received will lead to the introduction of a number of bills with the view of remedying tae defects.
 Attorney Anderson, Attorney Gen. eral F. $. Clark and former District Attorney R. F. Morrison arrived homo yesterday morning from Phoenix, where they were present at the first two days sessions of this term of the Supreme Court and the annual ban quet of the territorial bar association. |. By far the most enthusiastic ban. quct the Arizona Bar Association ever had was held Monday night a the Hotel Adams. About sixty attorneys from all over the territory were pres ent. which is larger number than ever attended by any previous ban. quet.
 The program of after.dinner speak. ing was indeed a feast of reason and a flow of soul. Lawyers. as a class, are public speakers and when they come together over the banquet board, something usually happens. Many a merry jest was sprung. Following are the toasts responded to;
 "Arizona and Single Statehood, |" Governor Kibbey; "Thc Judiciary and the State Constitution" Chief Justice Kent; "Reminiscences, Ben Good rich: "The Beneh,' l.. II. Chalmers: "Don 'ts for Constitution Makers" Leroy Anderson; "The Lawyer as 2 Citizen" Frank o. Smith; "The Eter- nal Feminine" J. T. Norton; "The Ethics of the Practice of Criminal Law" George Prudy Bullard.
 The annual meeting of the associa- ton was held yesterday after the con. cluson of the morning session of the supreme court. George !. Stoneman of Globe was chosen president, sue. ceeding John Mason Ross of Prescott. MT. Stoneman was the retiring vice president, it being custom of the or ganiZation to have man serve one year as vice president and year as president. That means that Leroy Anderson of Prescott will be elected president year hence. for at the meeting he was made vice president. Secretary Paul k. Ingles and Treasur- CT F.. w. Lewis, both of Phoenix, were chosen to succeed themselves.
 The association declared in favor of n law by the next legislature, increas ing the salaries Of district and circuit judges; also for law making the re. quiremenis for admission to the bar in Arizona less probibitive. It is now the law that before a man is admitted to the bar he must have worked in some lawyers office for A term of years.
 Leroy Anderson, Walter Bennett and Selim Franklin were appointed as ca committee to look after the interests of Arizona lawyers at the next legis- lature.
