The JUDGES IRE AROUSED
OBJECTS TO DAMAGE SUITS NOT
BASED on FACTS.
A Suit Against the Lake Erie & West
ern Observation-Disclosures Cases
i'm the Local Courts.

Judge Carter yesterday spoke his mind
concerning damage suits against corpora
tons when there are no facts upon which
TO base a case. William Shearer brought
suit against the Lake Erie & Western Rail-
way Company for damages for the loss Of
the services of his son, Tony Shearer, who
was killed while stealing a ride. The judge
was about 10 take the case away from the
jury and instruct it TO return a verdict for
the railway company when he reproved the
attorney who brought the suit. He said he
did not propose to have cases brought in his
court with no facts 10 support a case, with
the only result of putting the county to the
expense OF hearing them. The case was
then dismissed.

Southern Invasion of New York.

Mr.. A. K. FalIows presents this sub
ject very impressively in a recent con-
tribution to the New York Evening
Post, entitled The Southern Invasion
of New York" Mr.. Fallows says:
The Southerners carry off all the
prizes they see. 1t is not luck. 1t is
not pull" II is the flavor OF oriSnila-
ity that goes into the daring that COM
pels success that puts SO many South
ern men in the high places Of New
York"
Many substantiating proofs that this
very high praise is deserved and not
overdone. is presented by Mr.. Fallows.
He says:
In the recent Molineux trial two
southern born lawyers were pitted
against each other-George Gordon Bat
tie and James w. Osborne. The presi-
dent OF the biggest New York railroa /.
the New York Central. is a Southern
man. and the president of the biggest
bank, the City. came from the south.
-Four southern-born men are on the
bench, md the successful southern law
yers in New York are absolutely TOO
numerous TO mention. Among the sur
geons are Dr.. John a. Wyeth, an Ala
bamian n DR.. Virgil P. Gibney and
D.. Polk, and DR. :. Walter B. James. Of
the college of physicians and surgeons.
The rector Of St. Bartholomew's is a
southerner, and so are two Of the cler-
gymen of Trinity church. In short, IL
