GOVERNOR DISAPPROTES Bill.
WHY HE OPPOSES RESTRICTIONS ON SETTLEMENT
OF LAWSUITS.


LAWSUITS.
Albany. April 15-Governor Roosevelt dis
approved of Assemblyman Joseph /. Green's bin
to amend the Code of Civil Procedure by providing
that settlement of any lawsuit shall be valid
without the consent Of the attorneys or Without
application to the court upon notice to the at
torneys. The Governor In his emorsrdum gives
the following reasons for approving of the bll
I withhold my signature from this bi'l because
in my judgment IT is thoroughly vicious. 1t pro-
vides that settlement of any lawsuit shall he
valid without the consent of the attorneys with
out application to the court upon notice to the
attorneys. The code provides all necessary
security for an attorney in that il gives I'M len
upon the cause cf action. This bill would be "A
benefit chiefly to the very lawyers whom the hon
cradle members of their profession least desire TO
see benefted-that is, to those who bring suits for
damages on account of accidents and who wish to
be In position to mulct both their own clients
and the defendants in case Of a settlement In its
first draft the bill applied only to negligence suits
As it was passed 1t applies to all suits. An un-
Scrupulous attorney might turn II to his advantage
by bringing a hlackmalng suit at the of any
great commercial railroad consolidation. when
IL would be in his power to hold settlement
involving great sums of money. In short. the pos
sbilites for fraud which afforded by this bill
are numerous that it is not entitled TO any con-
sderatiOn.

Washington April 15.--There is probably no single

unsatisfactory but there is exact method of

Port Townsend, San Francisco and San Diego
The large increase of expenditure at these sta
tions IL is explained. is incident to the wearing out
and breaking down of machinery under an extraor-
binary of work-more than double that
which any of these stations has been called upon
TO do in the past, and the employment of additional
assistants, both physicians and attendants to meet
the requirements of the inspection of increasing
traffic from the infected districts of the Orient. Dr.
Wyman declares that such urgent contingency
has ever before confronted the sanitary authorities
of this country. consequently no such expenditures

to this action Addicks has done moth

knows it. II is perfectly useless for
him to fan wind He might as we'll

too brief to permit of delay. No doubt
