Aug. 12. Pages In the early legal history of California passed before a noted assemblage of delegates to the convention of the American Bar association at a banquet which lasted until early this morning when former Senator Cornelius Cole, within a few months of his 100th birthday, addressed the gathering. There was no such as statutory law in San Francisco thing in 1849, Senator Cole said, in reminiscent mood. There was no civil code, no political code, no criminal code, no Judges' decisions, to guide the lawyers. And let me assure you that this community was under no worse conditions civilly and politically than it has been since." Senator Cols was admitted to the California bar In 1848, dug gold in 1849, and practiced law in San Francisco from 1650 to 1852. Lord Shaw of England, another speaker at the banquet, felicitated the members of. the association upon the selection of John W. Davis, former ambassador to the court of St. James, for the presidency. If I were to choose for duty In international relation a man in whose person were united all the qualities of a great and successful diplomatist, I would choose a man of the qualities possessed In superlative degTee toy Mr. Davis. Chief Justice Taft, sparkling with geniality, Indorsed the plan to hold the 1924 convention of the association in no better spot could toe ddtng selected than the place that had seen the development of the British common law. If you go to London, I'll go with you, he concluded. M. Henri Aubepln, representing th French bar, aroused the cheers of the gathering by the fervor with which he spoke of America's help in the finals of the war. John B.
