Judge Bartlett entered his dissent to the
sweeping condemnation of medical experts.
He said that there was scarcely case
where expert evidence was taken in which
some of the experts are not perfectly hon
est. He said that when both sides agreed
en- one expert and pledged themselves to
abide by his decision an ideal state would
be reached. The judge said that the physi-
clans themselves. by their own code of eth

said that the present system Of giving ex-

it just as proper for them to receive pay
for their services as it was for lawyers to
receive fees.
Charlton T. Lewis set up the remedies

He especially denounced the cross-exami-
natien of medical experts. He held that
in an exact science cross-examination was
useless and only tended TO decrease the
respect of the public for the medical pro-
fession. He said that the moment science
struggled for victory in courts it became
pseudo science.
There is no form OF quackery," he said.

MEDICAL WITNESSES.
A Controversy to the Effective
ness of Expert Testimony.


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Expert medical
evidence was dissected at the
session of the State Medical Associa-
ton, which is now meeting at the Academy
of Medicine, in West Forty-third Street.
The speakers were eminent jurists, and the
doctors sat back in their chairs, and urged
the debaters to spare nothing. The whole
system of giving medical testimony was as
sailed and vigorously defended; and the
only suggestion for the cure Of the disor
dered methods was made by ". Ward Bart
lett, judge Of the appellate division of the
supreme court.
There has been a growing impression
among the medical profession lately that
there is something radically wrong about
the way some physicians give testimony il
the courts when their expert opinions are
asked. 1t is freely asserted that experts are
hired for each side and that the physicians
not only testify, but even suggest questions
70 counsel.
JuCga Bartlett said that the purpose OF
tie present discussion would be to suggest
some way to reform the evils growing out
of the fact that professional experts ars
generally believed to be influenced in tbs
expression Of their views on the witness
stand by the compensation which they have
received or expect to receive from the par
ty which places their evidence before the
court or jury.
He summarized the various remedies
which have been proposed. These were the
appointment of commission of experts in
insani:- cases to examine the person alleged
| to be insGne, before trial. and make re-
| port; the appointment of like commission
| in any CASE involving a question Of medi-
! cal expert evidence, without any compensa-
| ton except q fee to be fixed ard paid by
/ the State; the reiegation CT all matters call
| ing for expert testimony to commission OF
| experts; and the appointment Of expert wit
nesses, who must qualify themselves to give
! opinion evidence In the case without con-
| suitatidn with the litigants or their coun-
! sci. A bill to carry this last scheme into
\ effect has not yet become statute.
| Another plan of reform is the enactment
| of statutory prohibition against receiving
] any expert evidence from witRess who
! has been paid, or expects to be paid, any
thing except the fee prescribed by law
Having placed these various remedies in
] an orderly row, Justice Bartlett knocked
| rolling periods. Ee characterized the in
| trcductfonf. OF expert witnesses into the
| common. law system of administering JUS
| tice as incongrnous.

II further appears from the new tables
that the races contributing between 5000

were the Creation and Cloyenian, the Fin
nish. and the Lithuanian; between 10000
and 0o0O, the English, the Slovak, and the

the German, the Polish, and the Scandina-
vian; between 10000 and 10000, the Irish
and the Jewish, and that the Southern
Italian Cnclpding Sicilians) supplied 65,63s.
The accommodation of last year is
repeated as to the necessity of transferring
the immigration stations at Canadian ports
to certain designated points on our north
ern boundary, which shall be the only
ports of entry for aliens coming through
the Dominion. This recommendation is
sustained by figures showing that the
transatlantic immigration to this coun-
try through our Northern neighbor has in
creased from 6,542 in 1897 ard 1874 in 1898,
to II $50 during 1899, and other data show
ing that the care exercised in administer
ing the laws at American ports is merely
diverting the tide OF prohibited immigra-
ton through a channel Offering compara-
lively little obstruction.
The severance OF the connection between
the customs and immigration branches of
the public service is again urged, upon the
ground that the performance of the duties
required by each results in the sighting
CT ene or both.
1t is further recommended that informa-
tion be collected showing the number OF
aliens annually leaving for foreign coun-
tries. so that correct estimates may be
made Of the net increase of our popula-
ton from immigration; and also that the
authority Of the bureau be extended so as
to include the subject of naturalization to
such extent as may be necessary to pre-
vent fraud by misrepresentation in regard
