EXECUTIVE COMMTTEE.

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, September 27, 1904.

The Executive Committee respectfully report that under the last clause of Article IV of the Constitution, providing for the election of members by the Executive Committee between meetings when nominated by a majority of the VicePresident and Local Council, the following forty-eight members were elected.

(See List at end of List of New Members.)

Your Committee further report that, in accordance with the 12th By-Law, appropriations were made for the use of committees for the year 1903-1904, on their application, not exceeding the following amounts:

$146.10 to the Committee on Jurisprudence and Law Reform.

$500 to the Committee on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar.

$500 to the Committee on Patent, Trade Mark and Copyright Law.

$750 to the Committee on Uniform State Laws.

$200 to the Committee on Classification of the Law.

$250 to the Committee on Federal Courts.

$2500 to the Committee on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to be expended for the purposes of the Universal Congress of Lawyers and Jurists.

Your Committee further report that the appropriation of $2500 to the Committee on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition was made in view of the understanding that the use of Festival Hall and necessary adjacent rooms would be given

for the meetings; that the dinner would be given without expense to the Association; that admission to the grounds on the days of the American Bar Association meetings and the Congress would be furnished to members and delegates of the American Bar Association and delegates to the Universal Congress of Lawyers and Jurists, and that the proceedings of the Universal Congress of Lawyers and Jurists would be printed in sufficient quantity for distribution to members of the American Bar Association and delegates to the Congress without expense to the American Bar Association.

All committees for the ensuing year whose work may entail expense are requested to conform to the 12th By-Law, which requires "previous application in advance of the expenditure." Such application should be made to the Executive Committee through the Secretary.

Respectfully submitted,
