Enough New York lawyers are in

was an action brought by Il New

for a nominal sum. The origin ii
action has been for quarter of a
million, and the settlement was for
an amount so much less as to in
dicate that the suit was without
merit and the concession merely a
bride For the abatement of nuls-
ance. The fact developed that the
plaintiff got little of the money,
but that most of 1t went to the firm
that had represented her, and that
while the case was pending
this firm advanced the women
money on the chance of being able
to win it. If n law firm is permit
