MAY CHANGE NAME
WITHOUT AN ORDER
New York JuriSt So Decides
the Question
IN BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
Court Declares that Name Is Not
SiEnificant-It Was the woman the
Man Promised to Marry-IdentIty
Established and the Accusation
HOIds-Demurrer Il Sustained.

New York, Aug. 25.-That there is but
little in a name and that person can.
without the order Of the court, assume
any name, eveR though the person as
suming such name be the plaintiff in a
breach Of promise proceedings. was de-
cided to-day by Judge Smith IN special
term OF the City Court
The court said person may lawfully
change his name without resort 10 legal
proceedings, and for all purposes the
name thus assumed will constitute his
or her legal name as much as II he or
she had borne IL from birth.
This decision was made BY Judge Smith
in the case OF Fay Darling. who recently
sued Louis Click to recover $1,000 for
alleged breach OF promise OF marriage.
Click denied the promise. and as a special
defense set forth IN his answer that Fay
Darling was not the real name OF the
plaintiff; that her real name was Fannie
Streimer. and that her name had never
been changed by order OF any court
Court SustRins Demurrer.
The young woman demurred 10 this
special defense. and the court sustained
her demurrer with $50 costs against Click.
In her complaint Fay Darling set forth
that in September. 1896, on many occa-
sions. Click repeatedly asked her to marry
him anu that she consented TO do so.
She said that later in 1906 he told her he
was not in a financial condition TO marry,
but would marry her within a reasonable
time. After three years Of waiting she
said she was shocked 90 learn that Click
had, on June 70, 1910. married another
girl, one Bessie Walpert.
The plaintiff thereupon began the suit
for $1,000 damages in the City Court.

her health and nerves had been shat

Soon thereafter Click filed his answer.
denying the plaintiffs allegations and
setting up the special defense that her
real name was not Fay Darling. but the
less poetic sounding one-Fannie Strei-
mer
The plaintiff demurred to this defense
that Fay Darling was not her right
name, and IN sustaining her demurrer
Judge Smith held that II was not the
name but the individual that was the
matter Of Importance. and by Implication
held that it did not make any difference
what name the fair plaintiff assumed; it
was not the name that the defendant
promised 20 marry, II he did so promise.
but the woman.
The court granted permission to the
defendant to serve an amended answer
within six days upon payment Of the $50
costs.

New York Aug. 25.-Chairman Wood
run. Of the Republican State committee,
came back to-day from his camp in the
Adirondacks. and after pow-wowing with
Mr. Barnes and other old guard Repub-
licans he was able to reach. he gave out
a statement tonight explaining his side
OF the happening at the meeting OF the
state committee when Col Roosevelt was
turned down for temporary chairman Of
the state convention and Vice President
Sherman was selected In his stead
The statement, which was carefully
edited and many times revised before Il
was given 10 the newspaper men. for the
most part was n repetition Of that made
by Mr.. Barnes at the Republican State
headquarters on Tuesday night
Mr.. Woodruff. In his statement, follows
the example set in the statement made
b. Mr.. Barnes and does not attempt to
answer the charge by President Taft
that he had no idea that Mr.. Sherman
was 10 be named. and that. on the con-
trary. when 1t was suggested to him that
there might be some opposition 20 the
proposal TO name Col. Roosevelt as the
chairman OF the committee. the Presi-
dent insisted that before anything was
done both Col Roosevelt and Chairman
Griscom. OF the Republican county COM
mittee, should be consulted.
Thought Choice Was Approved.
Mr. Woodruff processes TO have no
knowledge Of whisperings which Mr.
Ward and Mr.. Barnes set going among
the members OF the committee Just be-
fore the meeting was called 10 order that
Mr.. Sherman was to be named. and that
Mr.. Taft had approved OF the selection
OF Mr.. sherman. ~
As a matter of fact Mr.. Woodruff. just
after the meetlne said 10 a group OF re-
porters that Mr.. Sherman would not
have been chosen had the President not
stated over the long-distance phone that
the picking out OF Mr.. Sherman for the
temporary chairmanShip OF the state
convention was thoroughly agreeable to
him. President Taft. in his letter 20 Mr.
Griscom, has stated that the first intima-
tion, he had that Mr. sherman was a
candidate for the place was the reports
he read fn the newspapers on the morn
ing after the meeting.
Another point on which there is a dis
agreement OF facts between the asser.
tons made In the Woodruff statement
and the statement made by Mr.. Griscom
after the meeting is that in which Mr.
Woodrun asserts that. much 20 his sur
prise, and entirely without warning. Mr
Griscom. when the Sherman resolution
was brought up, moved TO substitute the
name Of Roosevelt for Sherman. Mr.
Woodruff states hat Mr. Griscom was
around the Republican Club for fully ar
hour before the meeting of the commit
tee was held. and that he had full
