A Question of Declaration of
Intention.

Three persons were refused reg
isttation in Precinct No. l on
Tuesday, because they did not
comply with the registration law
to the effect that all persons com
ing into the state shall record
their Intention Of becoming citi.
zenS at least one year before they
are entitled toregiSler. The par
ties registered their names in the
County Clerks office on October
Z. IL and 10, 1904. The person
who entered his name October Z
was told he could register October
10, al the next sitting of the reg
lStration officers. rs il will then
be one year since lie declared his
intention in the County Clerks
Office. The other two were told
they would not he allowed to reg
lister this year, as one Of them was
one day short and the other two
days short of the required time.
The eases will be appealed to the
Circuit Courr
The law cleary says that per-
son must declare his intention of
becoming a citizen ofa community
twelve months prior to the day
of registration. Judge Motter
stated III reference to one ease,
that the Court of Appeals in 80

Fake Damage Suits and What Encour-
ages Them.

The number of damage suits fer per-
sonal injuries, many OF which are said
to be without ground upon which to
stonQ brought against the Greater New
York surface roads has become so
great that the ultimate swamping of
the big corporation SO predicted by
one Of their attorneys. The New York
Commercial quotes attorneys for the
Metropolitan Traction Company as say
ing more than six thousand personal
damage suits are now pending against
that corporation, Il large percentage Of
which has basis in fictitious circum-
stances or else i'll circumstances
brought about through conspiracy be-
tween the plaintiffs and their allies
The bringing of fake suits against
the various city transportation COM
panies has come to be regular indus
try" the paper continues, the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company being burden
ed almost as badly as the Metropolitan
by this kind of litigation. Comment
ing on this condition of affairs, The
Commercial says:
Isn't the trouble largely of their
own making? Years ago most of them
entered upon settled policy of dis
couraging and wearing out litigants
whose claims they knew to be valid
and just; they stubbornly resisted pay
ment after judgments against them;
and in general they labored to create
. conviction in the pu''lis mind that
they could always make the collection
Of a damage suit judgment mush more
expensive than the face of it. They
have fought all claims-valid and fake
M
one of the latter sort has encouraged
conspirators and perjurors to bring
suits on the theory that perfectly
! good case stands no better show than
a fictitious one"
; There is doubtless e good deal of
truth in the above as the experiences
of railroads in North Carolina seem
to show. In this and other Southern
States the big railroad systems have
in recent years suffered great annoy
ance and expense through damage suits
many of which should never have been
placed on the court dockets. The most
| unreasonable of these claims, it ap-
pears from the reports of court pro-
! ceedinss, are brought against the sys-
tenn whose policy is adverse to settle
ment so long as there is any further
pFOceeulHS tHdC cdu bc eulcIeO InCo.
The management probably acts On the
theory that it is just as cheap to fight
to a finish as to compromise, and this
may in fact be true, as far as primary
cost goes, but it is likely that if it had
a more conciliatory policy it would not
be so heavily mulcted by juries.
There is no sort of doubt that in
many cases transportation companies
fail to get justice in the courts and are
made to pay heavy damages on what
are really flake" claims, but, as point
ed out above, they are themselves
largely to blame for such condition
