RAILROADS
need MORE
LAWYERS
Many Cases Requiring Attention
Of Chief Counsel the Cause
Of V0xatious Delays.

The docket Of the common pleas division
OF the supreme court Is badly crowded
with cases against railroad corporati tions
and lawyers are complaining against the
many difficulties found I'm reaching trials
In the trial OF cases these corporations
have but one chief counsel. He is a very
hard working attorney and, Of course
no man who is at the bar is deemed fairer
than he.
1t Is impossible, however. for him TO
conduct more than one trial at q time
and he has also at times to 60 into the
appellate division. Lawyers. though they
admire and praise his Industry. declare
that some way should be found by which
litigants may get the trials to which they
are entitled.
The railroad corpora tions will make no
move In the matter Time counts In their
favor as quite a percentage OF people who
bring suits get weary OF the delay and
expense caused by postponements. The
big corporations will be satisfied as long
as the court or some other authority does
not find IL possible 10 compel them 10
stand trial. Ii Is very plausible excuse
that the big corporations make TO the
effect that the counsel they engage can
not possibly do more work than he Is
doing, but IT is beginning to be unsatis-
factory to attorneys and other officers OF
the court.
The matter is not one TO arrange easily.
No one thinks the corporations should be
prevented from having full advantage of
using the abilities Of the man they think
very necessary for their cases. but on the
other hand other litigants have rights.
too. A fair consideration OF the rights
OF all parties has led many leading at
torneys TO reach the conclusion that the
big corporations need more counsel and
that some way should be found by which
negligence cases can be given a more
speedy trial.
Today there were three cases In which
a railway company was concerned on the
calendar OF the day. The chief counsel
for the railroad company was -Iust-eiesins
case and after about an hours wait
one OF the two justices who had no case
before him started one OF the three. Liti-
gants in two cases and all their witnesses
had TO depart without a trial. There were
during most OF the day two Justices ard
about "a jurors available 10 try the cases
remaining on the calendar, but the rail-
road corporations had no counsel en-
gagged so the cases could not be heard.

THE COURT MAKES NEW RULE
REGARDING NATURALIZATION.

Governor Kimball today received the
following communication from Chief Jus
tice stiness OF the Supreme court:
Providence, Dec. 2, 1902
To His Excellency. Charles Dean Kimball.
Governor of the State OF Rhode Island:
Ny Dear Sir--Your excellency's com
munication OF November 2s, 1902, inclosine
a communication from the secretary OF
state OF the United States relating to the
naturalization Of persons Of foreign birth
was duly received and has been consid-
cred by the members OF the Supreme
court.
While naturally. the judges were not
aware OF any cases OF imposition or fraud,
Il was thought that the common practise
m the Federal court OF this district. fol-
lowed for many years by this court. OF re-
ceiving the evidence Of witnesses by am
davits. might be the means by which such
n result as that complained Of could be
accomplished more easily than by testi-
mony before Judge The court has.
therefore. adopted the following rule:
All applications for naturalization. the
witnesses will be required TO give testi
mony in person before the court and be
examined by the court. In all cases unless
n shall be shown TO the satisfaction OF
the court that attendance OF such wilt
nesses be impracticable.
The times for considering such applica-
tions shall be such as may from time to
time be nxed by the judges OF the court.
No particular cases can be Investigated
as none are referred TO: nor can the court
prevent the fraudulent use Of certificates
after they are granted Yours very truly.
JOHN II. sTINE5s.
Chief Justice.
In accordance with the above state
ment the following rule was announced
bv the supreme court today:
I'm applications for natura llzation the
witnesses will be required hereafter 10
give testimon~ IN person before the court
and be exsm;aei by the court In all cases.

GRANTING
N0NSUIT
AN ERROR
Claim Of David Cranda|I In His
Petition Heard by tho
Appellate Court.

Plaintiffs petition for a new trial in the
case OF David Crandall VS.. Stafford Manu-
featuring company was heard by the ap-
pellate division OF the supreme court to-
day. Mr.. Crandall was employed as en-
gneer for the defendants and some one
put up bit OF wood on a soft pine beam
to hold pulley.
The screws holding the wood to the
beam gave way and the loose belt per-
formed some dangerous antics.
Mr.. Crandall was knocked 10 the floor,
had his arm fractured and was otherwise
badly hurt. The Justice In the trial court
granted defendants motion for a non
suit.
The non-sult was granted on the ground
that the man who placed the hanger was
a fellow servant with the plaintiff and
that plaintiff was guilty OF contributing
negligence In putting belt on while ma
chinery was in motion.
Plaintiffs contention Is that the acci-
dent was solely due 10 the hanger and
that IL gave way because II had been
fastened up effectively originally by
screws four inches In length and one-half
inch In thickness. and that such screws
should have been eight inches in length
and three-fourths or an inch I'm thick
ness.
John w. Hogan Is counsel for the plain
tiff and Walter b. Vincent is counsel for
defendant.
