JUDGE POWELL
URGES HIGHER
LAW ETHICS
Jurist, Addressing Students, Says
Many an Innocent Man Is
TriCked Into Conviction.

Scouting the idea that all lawyers
are liars" and declaring it is seldom
that a member of the bar is half as
dishonest as his client, Judge Arthur
G. Powell late of the Court of APP
peaIs, made a plea at the opening of
the Atlanta Law School for a higher
standard of ethics in the legal pro-
tession.
Nearly a hundred young men just
entering the law school, as well as a
large number of last years graduates,
heard Judge Powell, who was intro
duced as the only man who has been
given an honorary degree by the At
lanta Law School. Dean Hamilton
presided at the exercises.
Judge Powell outlined the maxims
which might be adopted with profit
by young lawyers.
Preserve your ideals and retain
your self-respect," he said. IF you're
out for making money then stay out
of the legal profession; have the con-
viction always that you are in the
right; when you get into a case which
you find is not meritorious get out Of
it as quickly as possible; and no
matter how attractive a woman may
be, don't let her inveigIe you into
taking a case which is unworthy of
the profession.
81 have seen a mans honest testi-
mOny completely turned around by
the questions fired at him by an at
torney," continued Judge Powell land
by the tricks Of INSCRIPTIONS law
yers evidence has time and again
been put into such a false light that
the public as well as the jury has
been brought to believe a man guilty
when he really is innocent.
But if you get into the profession
with the inspiration in your heart
for the nobility of your calling YOU
will find a rare opportunity for serv-
ice and success. In the first place
no man stands higher in any COM
munity than the successful, straight
forward lawyer, secondly no other
work offers such opportunity for
service to humanity IN general; and
third, no other profession offers such,
an incentive for the development OF
self-reSpeCt.'

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. H.
Steps will be taken Immediately by

who are distinctly allied with that
road to represent IL in negotiations
with Attorney General Wickersham,
for formulation of a plan for dissolu-
ton OF the Union Pacific. Southern
Pacific merger. according 10 decree
of the Supreme Court
The fact developed today after a
conference OF the attorney general
and the protective committee OF the

after the roads interest in eonnec-
ton with the dissolution.
Because OF the present large hold
ing OF Southern Pacific stock by the
Union Pacific. the board OF direc'
tors of the Southern Pacific is re-
garded largely as a representative oi
Union Pacific interests.
Attorney General Wiokersham de-
sires to deal with men closely con-
cerned with the interests OF both

tive dissolution plan were discussed
today.
