Title for Club, Justice Declares.
TURNS ON MANY SOCIETIES
Writes Reasons for Rejecting the
Applications for Certificates
of Incorporation.

Following his holding up OF several dl-

fusion of the parties intereste1 and his
refusal 10 give his approval to applications
Of Several persons who desired 10 change
their names. Justice Golf yesterday re-
iccted some twenty applications Of clubs
and societies for certificates Of incorpora-
tiCn. In the case OF several OF these ap-
plications Justice Goff wrote opinions Civ.
ing his reason for refusing the certificates.
Heretofore the Incorporation OF an or
ganization in the Supreme Court has been
more or less a matter OF formally, and
Only certain prescribed requirements had
10 DO met 10 give the applicant the de-
sired certificate. The several opinions Of

As 10 the application OF the American
81 ciety OF Medical Sociology. whose OBJ
jects il was stated, were the dissemina-
ton Of co-sociologic knowledge among
the medical profession and laity. the ex-
posure Of fraud and quackery and the cor.
rection Of popular errors regarding medi-
cal problems and the medical profession"
Justice Goff said
II II uIIICul 10 see lDt connection De-
tween the avowed purpose and the ex-
posture of fraud and quackery II is true
that the generic meaning of the latter word
may be applied TO the medical charlatan.
but IS the fraud 10 be exposed medical or
social? In the exposure Of fraud the soci-
ETY. would have field for its operations so
wide that its limits would be measured only
by avariCiOus ingenuity"
Justice Golf said about the application OF
the Hello Sir" Club. whose objects were
to study civic and political questions. 10
advance republican principles Of govern
ment and develop good citizenship:
1T might reasonably be expected that a
corporate title in keeping with those wor-
thy. lofty aims would he adopted. Instead.
the title Hello Sir IS presented. This Is
most incongruous. There is no relation
whatever between the purposes and the
title There may be IN the words come oc-
cult meaning. but the commonly accepted
meaning is more calculated to cast ridicule
on the club and its purposes. The procur-
ing Of charter from the sovereignty OF
the state should not be treated in a spirit
Of levity."
In the matter of the application or a So
cial organization the justice refused 10

tors said In their petition that they az
