The American dentist long ago con-

chance to invade Asia. The emperor
of Corea wants a dentist, and to the
right party will offer two years con-

The evidence in the case against

by the police commissioners today, and
it is expected that a special session
of the board will be held. in a few days
that will result in a decision.
A majority of the commissioners
have expressed themselves as being
opposed to discharging Budy on the
evidence presented by the citizens
committee of the. Midway district, and
If they do not change their minds there
is every reason to believe that Budy
will be told to remain in charge of the
Prior avenue station. Some of the
commissioners take the ground that If
proof of the existence of unlawful
places, is, to be accepted as. ground for
discharging police officers there would
be no end to the hearings that would
follow.

mitted the existence of blind. pigs, the
running of a disorderly house and the
operation of slot machines, and that in
consequence he should be dismissed

thorized. Attorney

That a. client who has. secured a
judgment through one attorney may
then collect the Judgment through an
.other attorney without taking. any for
mai step or proceeding was decided
Yesterday by Judge Kelly, of. the. dis
strict bench, in an order yacating a
writ to show cause why Clerk e. G..
Rogers. of the district court, should
not satisfy upon the court docket and
records a. Judgment for $3.50 recovered
by Samue1C. Ray against the Jones &
ADAMS company and the Manhattan
Light, Heat and Power company.
The Judgment was obtained in a
suit to recover, damages for personal
injuries received. During the prosecu-
ton of the case Mr.. Ray employed as
counsel f. H. Griggs of st. Paul. and
s. +. Crosby, a former member of the
local. bar.
8 Prior to the entry of Judgment Mr..
Crosby filed claim for, his, fee as a
lien upon the Judgment. But June 4
last the order staying the payment of
the Judgment was, by stipulation, dis
charged. The same day Mr. Griggs
notified the defendant companies that
he hads been specially retained by Mr..
Ray to collect the Judgment. Never
gthefess, the defendants, through their
attofney, 4H.sS Corisn, paid the money
over to- Mr. Crosby;
= In declining to recognize this pay
sment as satisfaction of the judg-
#ment, Judge Kelly says
Was it necessary that plaintiff take
any formal step or proceeding to SUBJ
stitute Mr.. Griggs for Mr.. Crosby to
collect this judgment?
The statute. requires nome nor does
the common law. Any notice that
brings home to the Judgment creditor
this change is sufficient" Judge Kelly
adds point of special interest to the
bar:
This seems to be an attempt by the
plaintiff to place his first and original
attorney at disadvantage in collect
ing his compensation; and if so, the
court has no sympathy for it, But
as the law is Mr., Gonlin, after notice
of MT. Griggs Intention as sole attor-
ney to. enforce Tie judgment, acted at
the peril of his client in paying the
Judgment to Mr.. Crosby, and Mr..
sCrosby then had no authority to satis-
fly 1t for the plaintiff"
