NEW DAMAGE 3 UT RECORD.
Lawyers Agree Charles 9. Miller IL
HustIlng Attorney.


HustIlng Attorney.
It was admitted yesterday by lawyers
who make a specially Of personal injury
damage cases that a new record in ambu-
lance chasing, as il is called, has been made
in the case of p. j. Hart, a driver for THE
SUN, who was injured at Madison avenue
and i27th street on Saturday morning.
Only five hours elapsed between the time
Of the accident and the time of delivery
Of a letter, signed by Charles s. Miller, an
attorney. whose Office is at $50 Broadway,
announcing that he had been retained by
Hart to begin an action for damages. Hart
said that he never contemplated any such
action, but did take from a young man
who wa close by when the accident oc-
Cured a card on which the name of Mr..
Miller appeared. He merely wanted, ne
said, to nave a witness so that he could show
TO his employer that he was not to blame
for the accident.
Miller was again out yesterday to visitors
who wished to question him abou the letter
he cent to THE SUN. Among the callers
was an agent Of the Alliance Against Acct
dent Fraud, which was formed about a
year ago by the transportation companies
and other large employers to protect them
selves from fake suits for damages. This
agent was told tha Miller was gone for
the day. According to the records of the
courts. Miller has about a dozen suits for
damages for personal injury against MEM
bers of the alliance, among them the New
York City Railway Company and the Cas-
ualty Company Of America.
Five hours from the time of accident
TO the reception OF notice by mail of suit
TO be brought, was il? Well, that certainly
is going some. " said an official of one of the
big casualty companies. Il don't believe
that any such speed was ever made be-
fore in a ma&er of that kind. The man
who reported the oase to Attorney Miller
must have been right on the job. Our
expe rience in damage cases, however,
has generally been quite the opposite,
especially in those that we have good reason
to suspect.
often we are notified a year and a half
after the alleged accident occurred. Any
one who has taken part in these cases knows
how hard it IL under those circumstances
TO get the necessary evidence for q defence.
The accident probably happened, if at all,
in the street, and when we start out to get
witnesses it is impossible 10 find any one
who saw the accident. The other side,
however, always turns IN with the right
kind Of witnesses-that il for them.
Like everybody else. the ambulance
chasers are enjoying an era of prosperity
these DAYS. Not only have wages gone
up aud business increased in other walks
Of life, but trade was never better than
il is now among the ambulance chasers.
The tow is simply overrun with them
and with the runners they employ. IL
Is estimated that the corporations hiring
large numbers Of men, such az the street
railways, pay out a million dollars every
year for a K personal injury suits. This
by no means includes the legitimate suits
for damages. which mount up to millions
annually"

SUGAR TRUST FINED $751; 600
For Accepting the Rebate n. Y. Central
Was Fined $4,000 for Paying.

For accepting from the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad Company some
S26 900 in rebates, on payments made on
shipments OF sugar from Palmer's Dock
in Brooklyn to Cleveland, a fine Of SIS 900
was imposed yesterday morning by Judge
Holt in the United States Circuit Court ,
Criminal Branch, upon the American Sugar
Refining Company Of New Jersey. A
fine of like amount was imposed last week
upon the railroad company for giving the
rebates.
Neither Alton B. Parker nor John E.
Parsons, ounse for the defendants, vas
in court, Judge Parker has been especially
retained to defend the sugar
in the trial Of the rebate cases and Mr.. Par
sons has long been the chief counsel for that
corporation.
The presentation Of the argument on the
motions Of the sugar trusts counsel for a
was left to Tompkins B. M~cIlvaine Of Par
sons, Classon d McIlvaine. Both motions
were denied by the Court, which then
granted a stay of sixty days to the de-
PENDANTS in which to perfect an appeal.
Mr.. McIlvaine's argument was in general
the New York Central. To his attack on
the validity of the Elkins act Judge Holt
replied that that act was not nearly as
loosely constructed as some other Of the
enactments OF Congress which had been
upheld by the courts.
Judge Holt was prompt in correcting
Mr.. McIlvaine's assertion that the court
had ruled that the rebate constituted the
crime in the case.
There is such a thing as an honest re-
rebate" said the Judge, but a rebate which
means unlawful discrimination in favor
of a certain shipper or shippers cannot
by any Interpretation be called honest"
As to the punishment Of corporations,
Judge Holt said that in passing the Elkins
act Congress had been quite as careful
in indicating the penalties as IL had been
in emitting to do so in passing previous
statutes. Reaffirming his oft expressed
opinion on the Retrospective interpreta-
ton and retroactive" intent of the anti
rebate act, Judge Holt said the culpability
of the Sugar company under the new law
had peer clearly proved by its acceptance
of the rebates after Congress passed the
law on February IS, 1908.

Over at The. Aliens recently we got about

But were the names and addresses real?"
Capt. O'Reilly was asked.
I'm pretty sure a great many Of them
were, he answ cred.

on there worth bothering about. Across

for 2s East Eighth street. There the raiders
met the biggest crowd OF the day, but all
standing innooently on the sidewalk. The
news OF the strike Of the Sheet Writers
Union got abroad about this time and the
raiders then saw that there was little for
them to do.
All the raiding party got out OF the wagon,
however, and after some sidewa ak CONVERSE
ton about one thing and another the captain
suggested that they might just as well
walk down the street a bit and try the door
at 8 East Eighth ~street-another cigar
store. There was a paddock on the outside.
however, and the raiders saw, therefore,
that there was nothing doing there.
The wagon next went up to Q Fast Four
teenth street as a matter Of form and then
the captain said with suppressed emotion:
Now for h Aliens, the old reliable
b front door Of The.'s was open and
anybody that wanted to could walk all the
way back to the sign that read: West
Side Club. For Members Only" Beneath
the sign was a door, but it was locked.
From the deathlike silence around the
raiders saw that there was nothing going
on upstairs and they departed. Besides,
plain clothes man George Miller told the
captain that he had been up there the day
before anyway.
W used to AVE eleven places on our
list, said Capt. O'Reilly while the wager
doubled back again to 23O Mercer street
and for another look at 10 Fourth avenue.
Three OF them ave gone out of business

We have then all practically nailed tight
now, but we'll continue TO send out two
patrolmen to stand at zach door from l
O'Clock on each day and we'll make our
daily visits till the district is cleaned up
thoroughly. It's all pleasant work for
us-no trouble at all"
