IN Committees Report

CINCINNATI, Aug. 3O.-A number
Of sectional meetings devoted largely
to reports of committees and discus
sion to-da; occupied delegates to the
1orty-fourth annual convention of the
American Bar Association. Prominent
parrlsters from all sections of the
country were present FOR the bushes
meetings auxiliary to the program of
addresses which begins tomorrow be-
tore the general convention.
Elihu Root, former Secretary of
State, made two brief addresses in
which he urged the bar to play an
important role in creating public opin-
ION and in educating young lawyers in
the fundamentals of the law.
Modification Of the principles of
law is going on at greater speed and
in larger scope than ever before" Mr..
Root told the session of the legal
educational section, of which he is
chairman There are decisions on
both sides of every question you can
imagine. Changes in the administra-
ton of law have forced themselves
even to the attention of the public.
The application Of law is so widely diff
ferent from that of fifty years ago
that some guiding line must be found
I'VE must seek for the principles
of common law, which is being slow
ly modified by thousands of statutes
and decisions of courts of last resort
We have come to the point where we
must have done with desultory dis
cussion and come to conclusions. We
must have a system of education re-
quirine the background OF the law
which explains the true method and
scope Of law
In his second address Mr.. Root said
that public opinion required institutions
for its expression. and that aiding the
rule of demo racy was the highest pub
lie service which the legal fraternity
could perform.
Miss Annette Adams, of San Fran
cisco, former Assistant Attorney Gen
eral, was one of the speakers before
the criminal law section, urging swift
prosecution of those charged with
crime
Forged fngerprints were explained
by Milton Carlson, a fngerprint expert
Of Los Angeles, who told the lawyers
that the first thing to prove where
tingerprints were involved in crime
eases was whether the print was made
by human hand. He explained how
finGerprints could be forged, dlsposng
OF the popular theory. he SAID, that
nngerprints were lnfalllble proof.
The stand Of last years conference
in favor Of restricting advocacy for
public services before commissions
and other legal bodies to licensed law
yers Was challenged by Charles A,
Boston, Of New York, who suggested
that the matter be reconsidered. MI
Boston advocated that the resolution
be limited to legal courts, leaving
brokers, adjusters and other agents

Private Sunday, AerialiSt

Carried 500 Feet Into the Air, Dangling
by a Strap
From BALTIC. Sun OF July 29l
Private Percy Sunday, of Thurmont.
hoisted 500 feet into the air: dangling by
his canteen from the outside of dirig-
ible:
1t was in the morning when the big
dirigible C-2, from Langley Field, came
swimming over the First Regiment
camp and sank to rest in big field be-
hind the rows of tents. Major Pagelow
was in command.
"I'll take some of the officers up if
you like" Major Pagelow told Col. D.
John Markey, commander of the First,
and several officers clambered into the
basket A bunch of enlisted men were
detailed to hold the basket down, with
orders to give it lift upward when the
CO was ready to take the skies again.
In the bunch was Private Percy Sunday
of Company A.
"All ready" called Major Pagelow
finally. The enlisted men heaved, the
big blimp's nose pointed upward, and the
basket began clearing the ground. All
the enlisted men jumped away, ready to
speed the ascension with waving hats and
cheer. The cheer froze in their throats.
For there, on the outside of the basket,
with his feet already clear of the ground,
struggling frantically with something at
his belt, hung Private Sunday. He was
going up. A rope had twisted around
his canteen.
The crowd watched the sudden little
drama speechlessly. Seven officers were
in the basket and none of them seemed
to have noticed Private Sunday at all.
Major Carey Jarman, ordnance officer of
the Maryland Brigade, happened to look
around and was dumfounded to see a
buck private's head sticking up from the
outside, 200 feet in the air.
Sunday had had presence of mind
enough to hook his right arm over the
edge of the basket and was feeling pretty
safe. he said later. But from the ground
it looked as though he might drop any
minute. The blimp went higher-3OO,
400, 500 feet-and finally the sight from
below was of Major Jarman and Captain
Barrick, Sundays company commander,
reaching out for him.
1t was hard struggle to get him in
side, 500 feet in the air, with the basket
swaying and the balloon mounting higher
every minute. But they got him aboard
at last, white-faced and almost breath.
less. And Private Sunday was the only
"buck" in the regiment to get a rea
balloon ride.
