150 ATTEND THE
BAR BANQUET
The Fifth Annual Dinner of
the El Paso Associa-
tion Proves a Bril-
liant Affair.
PROMINENT MEN PRESENT
The “legal lights" of El Paso form-
ed a bright con3tellaiion at their fifth
annual dinner at the St. Regis last,
night and eclipsed all other affairs
of this kind held within the past
year.
There were about 150 present, in-
cluding two members of the civil
court of appeals, judges Fly and
James, and a number of other promi-
nent out-of-town lawyers and judges.
Among the visitors present besides
the two judges mentioned were:
Judge Frank G. Morris of Austin,
Judge Turney of Alpine, Judge Gil-
lette of Marfa, Judge McKinney of
Pecos, Attorney Maurice MoKelllgon
of Canahea, District Judge Castillo of
Juarez and Attorney Grant of Boston,
who Is 4n the city on legal business
in connection with the Cotton estate.
Judge Frank E, Hunter presided as
toastmaster and proved very felici-
tiotis in his administration of this
delicate office.
The lawyers and their guests sat
down to the banquet board at 9:30
and the scene was inspiring. The din-
ing room was decorated with palms
and evergreens, and the table in Its
decoration of smilax and roses was a
thing of beauty.
The menu was as follows:

Judge Hunter, when the coffee was
passed around, arose and read letter*
of regrets from Judge Brown of the
supreme court. Judge H. H, Neill of
the civil court of appeals, M. A.
SpoothB, attorney for the Denver and
Fort Worth railway at Fort Worth, and
A. O. Larrazola of I-as Vegas, former-
ly a member of the El Paso bar. A
number of other letters of regret were
mentioned, but not read.
The toastmaster then opened the
feast of reason and flow of soul with a
brief statement of the circumstances
•which brought the custom of annual
dinners Into existence. He said that
five years ago a jury of lawyers was
selected In the district court to for-
mally pass upon the plea of guilty of
a prisoner. They found after (hey
had performed the service that they
each had a $2 jury fee coming to them.
They agreed to take the money as a
nucleus and give a dinner. The din-
ner was given and from that time on
the lawyers have repeated the occasion
each year.
Toastmaster Hunter then In a hap-
more '’complaints," which were equal-
ly bright and funny.
Getting back to he program, Judge
Hunter called upon Joseph M. Nealon
to respond to the toast "The Lawyer;
the Public Champion,"
Mr. Nealon handled ills subject in
sa very witty and artistic manner and
brought forth frequent outbursts of
applause. He laid down the proposi
tlon that the lawyer was the butt of
common joke and criticism anti then
showed that sometimes members of
this profession win the applause of
1 he whole people by the practice of
these arts, which subject them to the
criticism of the ttnlair laymen. He
mentioned Governor Folk, of Mis-
souri. as a striking proof of this as-
sertion.
Attorney Grant of Boston, who has
been In the city for the past month
t('presenting the Cotton estate, was
called upon and made some compli-
mentary remarks concerning El Paso

Two freight trains came along and

Superintendent Marks’ private car

on the trip to the city. Mayor Davis
was Immediately notified and went to
Hotel Dfeu where he stayed with Ills

that he had, therefore, had no time
to prepare himself, in view of this
he said he would not undertake to
speak upon so broad a subject, which
under the circumstances, he did not
feel able to cope with.
The next toast responded to. and
probably the best of the evening, was
"The Bar” by John Franklin of E!
Paso. Mr. Franklin began his re-
marks with same witty references to
the older numbers o. the bar which
brought forth stormy outbursts of
laughter.
Speaking seriously of the eider
members of the bar Mr. Franklin said
that they were foremost among-those
who have had a hand in placing Ef
Paso In a position of recognition. He
said that the railroads and the min-
ing interests have had their full sharp
in the upbuilding of the city but that
the members of the El Paso bar who
have been here for the past 20 years
have built up a spirit of obedience to
the law and made El Paso a city
where life and property are as safe as
any place in the country. These men
have done this, he said, because they
have been obedient to their trusts and
have enforced obedience to the law.
“No country can be safe whose bar is
corrupt and no country great unless
life and property are safe," concluded
the speaker.
“El Paao’s Square Squira.”
The toastmaster then called upon
Bates McFarland to read a "poem"
entitled "El Paso's Square Squire."
Mr. McFarland prefaced the reading
of the “poem" by saying. ' wa ch the
squire squirm,” and as the line* of
the “poem" were read all eyes turned
on Justice Marshall, who was seen to
be doing some squirming. The com-
position was witty and made a great
hit.
This was followed by another dla
tlaet hit Introduced by W. H. Burgev
who read a number of short, witty
"complaint*" against different mem-
ber* of the bar. which brought out
in a very laughable manner some well
known characteristics of each gen-
tleman referred to.
Judge Edwards followed with some
Charles Davis, Jr., son of May-
or Charles Davis ami who was
yesterday nominated for represen-
tative in the state legislature
from this county, while on the
way to a ranch near Tornillo,
Texas, horseback and In company
with Chas. Let veil, a cattleman,
was accidentally shot by the dis-
charge of a revolver, which he
carried In his belt, at 8 o’clock
last night. The bullet entered
the forepart of the right leg. at
the thigh and ploughed down-
ward.
Davis whs brought 10 El Paso on a
freight train to which was attached
Superintendent Marks’ private car,
and reached this city about midnight,
being Immediately taken to Ho el
Dleu, where Drs. W. N. Vilas and W.
H. Vilas examined the Injury. They
expressed the fear that the bullet, had
struck the bone, causing a fracture,
which would add to the complications
of the injury.

Judge Fly of the civil court of. ap-

quest of the toastmaster ami made a
strong and witty spooeh.
The set toasts were concluded by
Judge A. S. J. Eylar. who responded to
.tie toast, "Roman Jaw as Adminis-
tered In the Recorder's Court."
Judge Eylar’s remarks were char-
acteristically witty and brilliant and
brought down the house.
The toastmaster from this on called
on first one and then another of the
good speakers at the dinner and thus
rounded out one of the most brilliant
displays of oratory ever heard In this
city.
Concha’s orchestra furnished music
for the occasion.

Wind
Lieutenant Bevan of the Drake was
talking 11I the New York horse show
about rough weather.
Some one told the story about the I
winter day when It was so windy
that the crows all had to walk homo.
Lieutenant Bevan laughed at this
story, saying he could see the black
crows trudging along the road against
the wind. Then he went on;
"But that wind would have been

talks about.
“This wind, the boatswain declares,

blew so hard that It took four men to

then it blew all the anchors off the
batons of his coat."
“Charles, the first time he saw one
of these lights burning, said to me:
"'Sure, Mr. Tesla, and what's that?'
“ 'That.' said I, 'Is electricity,
