appreciation, suggested by Attorney
Morgan of Albert Lea, to the Man
katO Bar association for it's hospi-
tality. ..
New Members Added.
One hundred and forty new men,
bers have been added to the bar as
ISOLATION during the past few weeks
and seventy of that number were
raised through the efforts of the at
torneys in this section of Minnesota.
The personal membership solicita-
ton which was introduced for the
first time this year, proved to be a
success and because of that fact a
membership committee composed of
representatives from each judicial
district will be appointed.
At the meeting yesterday after
noon two amendments to the consti-
tuition were passed. The nrst in
creases the number of members on
the board of governors to twenty
five, and those members shall be ap-
pointed by the president. There
shall be one member from each jul
dicial district in the state and the
officers of the associations on this
board, making a total membership
of twenty-four.
The other amendment was that a
membership committee composed of
one member from each judicial dis
trict be appointed. This committee
shall act upon all applications for
entrance to the association.

Williams and other members present
yesterday, strongly advised the or
ganization of judicial district asso

believed the judicial district was
large enough to be effective and
small enough so that everyone could
attend the meetings.
1t was suggested that the mem
| bership fee to the fraternity be in
! creased from two dollars to three
dollars, but that matter was left
over for further consideration.
When the discussion of the amend
ments came up President Williams
desired to address the meeting and
| called upon Judge Cray of this city
to take the chair. There was a
! storm of applause as the judge as
cended to the rostrum and there were
many demands for speech. Judge
! Cray talked briefly on the member
] ship campaign and emphasized Mr.
Williams plan of personal solicita
! ton.
At the close of the afternoon's
meeting the auditing committee was
named and the following men acted
in that capacity: John Moonan Of
| Waseca, F. A. Duxbury of Caledonia
and F. G. Sasse of Austin.

DOES NOT APPLY HERE
No Spring Shooting In State OF Min
nesota, Hence Federal Game
Laws Don't Govern

Minnesota hunters win not have
to pay any attention to the recently
enacted federal game law govern
ing migratory birds. This is the
answer to inquiries being sent out
by the Minnesota state game and
fish commission. 1t appears that
the federal law only applies to states
where spring shooting is allowed. In
Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota birds are protected during the
spring months and as result the
national law does not alter condi-
tions in this state.

Officers for next year were elect
ed at the closing session of the an.
| nual convention of the Minnesota
| State Bar association this morning
| and the election brought the success
| full and enthusiastic convention to
| an end. Nearly all of the visiting
lawyers left for their homes on the
| noon trains, and for that reason the
| luncheon which the local bar asso
citation Planned to give this evening,
was cancelled. Because of the heavy
rains of last night it was found to
be impossible to entertain the guests
at the automobile trip which had
| been arranged.
! At the close of Dean Vance's ad
dress this morning Attorney Crosby
moved that the committee, on juris
prudence and law reform consider
| the recommendation made by Presi
dent Williams and Dean Vance in
their addresses concerning judicia
| procedure and general law reform
and have a report prepared for the
consideration of the next annual meet
ing of the association.
Report of the Committee.
The committee on Jurisprudence
and law reform reported that it con
sidered changes necessary in the
corporation laws of Minnesota and
that there should be legislation alons
the lines of the so-called blue sky
laws" but the committee believed
these laws now go too far.
Stiles H. Burr moved that the
subject matter of the committee:
report be referred to a special com
mittee, and that that committee re
port on the matters referred to a
the next annual meeting.
After Treasurer Royal A. Stone
had submitted his annual report ant
showed that for several years pas
there had been a deficit each yea
in the societys funds, he suggested
that the annual dues be increased
from two dollars to three dollars
There was a very general discussion
of the proposed change and severa
members present were opposed t.
such a change, believing that tn,
membership campaign which will b.
carried ON during the coming yea
will increase the funds to such ex
tent that higher dues will not b.
needed.
Donations to State Bar Treasury.
1t was learned that during the pas
year the Duluth Bar association ant
the st. Paul Bar association hat
each given 5000 to the state ba
treasury and that the Minneapoli
lawyers had pledged to raise lik
sum. Some one suggested that tn
country lawyers were prone to pa
the increased rate. The lawyer
from the smaller cities put the con
vention right on that matter imme
diately, and declared that in the pas
no notice had been sent to them O
the lack of funds and those presen
pledged to share any deficit whicl
might arise.
After much heated discussion it wa
decided by vote of fifty-seven t
eight to increase the dues.

At the same time Secretary Garrison let
it be known that he alone will select the

II would consider 1t just as much an
impertinence," he said, for a man to
tell me whom l was to marry or who
was to invite to my dinner table as FOR
any one to tell me who should be chief
of staff. That officer is the close, per-
sonal adviser of the Secretary of War
and must be persona Hrata to him.
