M.A. Breeden stated that the object of the meeting was to investigate charge made in public prints and on the streets against Hudson and Rhodes in their clouding of titles to certain lands in plat C, Ogden City Survey, by purchasing and recording a quitclaim deed from R. T. Cunningham of Salt Laae City. There is much unfavorable comment on this action and it has been deemed advisable that the bar should meet aud contiider what action, if any, was appropriate for it to a Og-de- tke. Mr. Borers n moved Ut appoint a com- mittee of rive to investigate and report at some future meeting. Seconded by C. C. Iey. Mr. I)ey stated that while he had seconded the motion to iuvestiga.e he personally failed to see where lay the moral mere purchase of a turpitude in the which should warrant juit claim deed any action by the Ogden bur. We have not here a regular bar association. Moreover, as lawyers we are accustomed to going to the courts with our legal difficulties. If there has been any wrong committed it should be righted in the courts. It is hard to see how a quit claim deed which has no legal existence can make a legal cloud on any title. I tind that a few years ago a ii ffiitlrii was tiled iu the Federal court by Captain Smith involving the title to a large part of Nob hill. It was overruled by the court. There ia no record of any indignation meetings at that time. I.iet us kuow what is expected of the bar or what it has the right to do. The chairman stated that as he understood it there were no facts which would warrant the bar taking any action, whatever action might be in order elsewhere. Attorney Rogers explained his pres ence at the indignation meeting held in the Federal court room and the remarks he had made there. A. II. Nelson said that he had had oc casion to interview Mr. Hudson several times in connection with the affair and had always found him inclined to do the square thing. The report of the com luittee can only be to one effect and that that Mr. Hudson had a perfect right to buy whatever was in the market. If Mr. Cunningham had a quit claim to poll and it was a good thing, Mr. Hudson did wjll to boy it. If it is of no value, he h is made a poor investment. The bar ought to set his right clearly before the public. Attorney L. R. Rhodes spoke to some Iea,'th giving a history of the case. His rm irks were in brief about as follows lis did not ask any protection from the Ogden bar as to revolvers or threats of bold, bad men. He would state that be had always managed to care for his pergonal safety and would continue so to do. II t was willing to leave this matter to a tonmittee to investigate any illegal or u. professional act of hia in connection witn the Cunningham laid trouble. When the Ogden City Street Railway company wa9 sold hist fall, Mr. Jarvis prepared to purchase a number of lots in Fairview addition, investing a large eum o? money for English capitalists with the intention of ejecting houses to be sold on the installment plan. Col. A. H. Swan securedjiptions on a number n of lota including about thirty acres plat C. The English capitalists had an attorney in Kansas City to pass on their abstracts. It was arranged that I should do them that service here. In examining the abstracts with Mr. Hud son, I found the United States had conveyed to Robert T. Cunningham a quarter section of laad part of which is now plat C, and he had sold it to the city of Oden for f230. I found that this land had been peddled out by the city to different parties at varying considerations. The thought at once occurred to me that the city could not speculate thus in real estate, not being empowered to do eo in its charter. There are a number of cases so decided by the courts. In the case of one city in Louisiana the defense was set up that the city bought a tract of land to improve it because it was low and marshy and a menace to Dillon on municipal public health. charters censures the act. Moreover, the transfer was made by Cunningham to the "City of Ogden," but the land was mostly sold on deeds which read from "L. J. Herrick, Mayor." Now the charter provides that all transfers shall be in the city's name. I told Mr. Swan that I could not favorably rely-i- port that abstract. e Chairman You will remember that Cunningham's original e itry was for the city and he sold to the city for 8230, a merely nominal consideration. A. II. Nelson Your argument would apply equally well to two other sections entered by Butler and Poulter. Rhodes I have nothing to do with those sections, as I have not ivestigatod those titles. Col. Swan wanted to know what could be done. Jarvis had gine back to Kansas City. I will state here that no one has worked harder than I to get men to invest money here and I know how careful capitalists are about abstracts. I said that the only way this in ! I caM.

Rogers I am in favor of investigating this affair both ia the legal and moral aspects. There is no doubt but this a serious matter. It is an unsavory business. It smells to heaven. The legal profession owes it to itself and to these gentlemen also to thoroughly sift this matter and to take some stand. I would advise tbem as a friend to insist on an investigation. I would not be afraid to trust any of my professional acts to the judgment of any fi ve men in this bar. There may be one or two scamps among us, but there are not the.
