DUTY OF COURTS TO GUARD COIIST TUTIQ11 Treats Power of the Judid- ary in Constructing Law LAWYERS GATHER FOR ANNUAL' MEET Principal Feature Last Night Was Ad dress of President T. J. Harking Deliveres Address of Welcome F. C. Harding Responds. I Asheville, Aug. 2. In his address to the Bar Association at its opening session here tonight President J. C. Biggs made an extended argument for the right and duty of the courts to declare legislation null and void when in conflict with the written Constitution. I I' ' ' Recent criticisms of the doctrine and of the courts for being guided by it, together with the great! principle involved and the importance of the question, were the considerations, Judge Biggs explained, which led him to treat the subject of "The Power of the Judiciary Over Legislation." The criticisms of the doctrine as referred to by Judge Biggs were large ly made, it is understood,! by j Chief Justice Walter Clark and the address of the president of the Bar Associa tion was in the nature of a rejoinder to the well known contentions of -the Chief Justice who on numerous oc casions has discussed what he desig natej as "judicial tyranny." i More than two hundred representa tive lawyers in attendance from all sections of North Carolina and scores of prominent members of j the legal profession of other States are here " for The meeting, whichls the seven teenth annual convention. The first session was given over to the ex change of greetings and the annual address of the President. . - The first session was called to or der at 9 o'clock and adjournment was not . taken until shortly before mid night. J. Crawford Biggs, of the Ra leigh bar,- the President of the Asso ciation, was in the chair' upon the calling of the meeting to order. The address of welcome jwas deliv- : ered by Thos. j. Harkins, of the local tar, who expressed pleasure that Asheville had been chosen as the place of holding this year's gathering. He referred to the fact that former meetings have been conducted at this city and said that it is a' tribute to Asheville that the attorneys have de cided to return to the chief city of the Land of the Sky for the 1915 meeting. P. C. Harding, of the J Greenville 1 bar, delivered the response to the ad dress of welcome, declaring that the attorneys always welcome an oppor tunity to come' to Asheville. He ex pressed delight that so many of the attorneys are accompanied ! by their wives and daughters, who are show ing keen interest In the proceedings. He created laughter when he declar ed that -"Every lawyer loves Ashe ville's sunshine with rosy hue, an-i most of us, your moonshine, too; and of us, I am told, there are yet few who delight to sip your mountain dew.". . I " Interested visitors are Senator Lee S. Overman and Gov. Craig, while Secretary Daniels and Senator Lewis, of Illinois, are expected to arrive In the city tomorrow to deliver ad- . dresses. . - .

SECRETARY LAHS1HG HAS QUADRUPLE OF HOTES Three are From the British and One is From Berlin DEFENDS EFFORTS OF THE ALOES German Note Makes No Substantial V Change In the Original German Contention Answer to British Notes Soon. Washington, Aug. 2. Three notes from the British government! and one from Berlin, all dealing with; the com mercial rights of neutral nations in war time were before Secretary Lan sing tonight. Two notes from Great Britain supplementing the one receiv ed last week and the German note received today. The British commun ications probably will be given out for publication. Wednesday j morning and the German note for the follow ing day. . , . I : The first British note defends , the allies' efforts to suppess trade be tween their enemies and neutral countries, even by the stoppage of abnormal commerce through the neu tral countries adjacent to the Teu tonic allies. Precedents in internat ional law, estblished by the United States government itself during the Civil war in order to cut oft supplies from the Confederate states; are re vived to support this ; assertion, of right. . The note was intended to meet the objection of the ' United States that previous British notes had dealt only; with special cases of seizures and de tentions of ships and cargoes under conditions that seemed to iuWify.eL5""? feet cbcjij British action,' failing to answer the American contentions that the who'd process of Interference with neutral commerce was In violation of inter national law. After It had been dis patched new conditions arose that de termined the British government to amplify its argument. The second note of the series deals with this issue and it is understood that it sets up the contention that an actual blockade of the North seaports exists and that regardless of the Brit ish orders in council there is an in herent right in the blockading powers under international law to I suppress traffic of this kind. The last note is in reply to the American caveat of J uly 17, saying the United States would be; governed only by the principles of internation al law in dealing with cases of deten tion of American ships and goods. and would not recognize the orders in council. The British ; foreign office holds that the orders in council com ply with the spirit of International law, though it is admitted that a new application of these principles to suit the new conditions developed in the war has been made. British prize court proceedings wherein' the magistrates have assum ed that the orders In council were in conformity with international law provoked the American communica tion. The British contend! that the United States government cannot as some that its merchants have suffer ed permanent -injury, since there is always In reserve the right of diplo matic review of prize -eourt decisions, and even for arbitration, under the special arbitration treaty between ihe United States and Great Britain. The German note, continuing tha discussion over the sinking of the American ship "William P. Prye by a German commerce raider, deals with the American contention that not only international law, but also vthe special provisions of the treaty of 1S28 between the - United States and Prussia had been violated.! The note makes no substantial change, it is understood, in the original German contention that while the treaty of 1828 does r-ot confer special privi leges and exemptions upon American shipping, these can all be met and the right reserved to sink merchant ships upon the undertaking to compensate the owners thereafter. - The German formal declaration of a war zone Is held to Justify special- measures to keep supplies from her enemies. An--" answer .to the Britlsfo note-j goon will be forthcoming. Predictions were lacking, however, of the course to be taken In regard to the German note. -. j'- " - A., big feature production Is offered every day at the Crystal for 5 and 10c Ladles and children' matinee daily from 3:30 to 5:30 p. m. t - I .

' London, Aug. 2. Whlle the Austro- Germans continue to tighten the wings of their great eastern battle front, with, success; at both extremi ties, including the Occupation of Mit au in the north and further progress beyond Chelm in Southeast Poland, the situation before Warsaw proper remains unchanged and obscurel Few additional details have reached London concerning the plans for the abandonment of the city, but appar ently the time has not arrived for the Russians to relinquish their increas ingly precarious hold tra the capital, or at least, no word; of its evacuation has come to London.

In addition, the submarine considerably damaged Turkish shipping and sunk one craft believed to be a gunboat, Announcements in the duma at Pet- rograd and by the Russian ambassa dor at London indicate that Russia and England are anxious to brand a3 unfounded the recurrent reports that the Russian people are disgruntled at the showing Great Britain and Fance have made in the west, which migat create a situation unfavorable to the continued unity of the allies.
