CHICAGO, October 19.-Profe ssional
personal injury takers. colonies of whom
have taken more than 100000 fraudu-
lently from the city in four years. are to
be driven from Chicago, and, If possible,
to the penitentiary by triple alliance, in
which the city administration is the prin-
cipal factor.
Chicago practically has completed an
arrangement with the traction companies
and the steam railroads entering the
city to carry on an offe nsive and defens-
i've campaign against these people. Be
sides these parties to the alliance, forty
corporations, all victims of the personal
injury takers. have been invited to as
sist in the establishment of a clearing
house for the records of the professional
crooks of this character.
This action was decided on yesterday
by First Assistant City Attorney Clyde
A. Morrison after 1t was discovered that
whole families, which were using various
names were suing the city on fake
charges. Besides this it Was learned that
the professional "invalids, assisted by
lawyers Of a like stripe, are living in
colonies. where they assist each other in
robbing the city in systematic manner
Investigation Of some of these case s
disclosed the fact that disinterested
witness could not be found by the city
because in an entire neighbOrhood not a
single adult could be found who did not
have a suit against the city.
