SOME GRAFT INDAMAGE SUITS
HatlrMd Deleetlvca Hun Down Pro
fessional Work In Personal
Injur? Cases.
t
Tha chief detective of a great southern
railway system had adjourned to the smoking-
compartment of the Pullman for a
final cigar before he climbed Into his up
per berth. He had Just finished a Job of
clever sleuthing and was In a talkative
mood, which quickly brought the half
doaen other amokers to attention.
"I suppose in the beginning I was sup
plied with as much confidence in. human
nature aa the average man," he began, aa
he aettled back Into the cushions and put
his feet on a chair, "but after spending
twenty years In finding out Just how much
tha truth Is stretched evury time somebody
auea tha company for damages for personal
injuries there isn't much left of it.
"I , hadn't been wearing railroad, gum
shoes very long before I was turned loose
on a ease where a 18-year-old boy wanted
S100.00U dumagea because he was d.af and
dumb aa the reqult of a railroad wreck.
'I worked on the case for two years,
during which time the suit was postponed
from on term of court to another,' until
finally It had to ba tried. The sum total
Of all Diy knowledge was that the boy
hadn't spoken nor apparently heard a
word for two years. .
"On the morning of the trial I advised
the company 'a lawyer to nettle for J25.0i,
which they offered to do. The plaintiff'a
counsel refused the offer, so the case waa
called.
"The evidence was so completely one
sided that the case would certainly have
been finished and gone to the Jury before
night, but at noon 1 had an Idea. I thought
that If we had one more day something
might turn up to aid us. I conferred with
the company's lawyers, and at about the
hour when the c.ise waa ready, for the
Jury our leading attorney waa taken sud
denly 111. The Judge had no alternative
but to adjourn court until the next day.
"That night I went to the plaintiff's
counsel and explained that we were ready
to settle, but wanted to make a 'physical
examination of the boy first. He hud no
objections, so we re K ted a room In the
local hospital and took the boy there.
"We put him upon an operating table
around which were gathered four white
coated, white-whiskered men, alleged to be
eminent surgeons, out In reulity the com
pany's lawyers.
"After baring the youth's bosom over
the li4art, the- chief surgeon grabbed an
ugly looking knife and solemnly said:
" 'brethren, there la Just about one
chance lu a hundred that the patient will
survive this operation. Are you willing to
take the chupt?'
" 'We are,' answered the others.
"The words were hardly spoken before
the boy let out a yell 'and cried, 'For Ood'a.
aake don't kill me.' ;
"Then he snapped his Jaws together and
became dumb again, but the few words ha
had said were mighty costly for him, for
his lawyer Immediately. . threw up the
sponge and asked for. the dismissal of the
case the next morning."
Then the detective relighted his cigar and
remarked thut he alwaya had mora trouble
getting the truth out of a woman than a
man.
"A few years ago a Buffalo woman, who
waa known to us aa a member of a fake
Injury syndicate, put In a claim for tjO.oro
against us for alleged paralysis of all her
limbs." continued the detective. "She pre
tended that her spine had been Jerked out
of kilter In a little one-horse wreck down
In Tennessee.
"I was positive that tha woman waa aa
sound as a dollar, but I couldn't prove'lt.
Bo 1 had to move to Buffalo and camp on
her trail. Finally I managed to atrlke up
an acquaintance with another woman who
was on very Intimate terms with the sup
posed paralysed one.
"I professed to be a member of a bund
of personal Injury grafters out In Chlougo,
of whom aha knew something, and I
showed such an extensive knowledge of the
gang that she believed me. Of course, she
wanted me to meet her friend the paralytlo
the first thing, and I waa for It strong.
"She gavo me a very effusive letter of
Introduction, and I started out on tha war
path. When I found the woman I wanted
she was propped up In bed, and was cer
tainly doing the helplets act to perfection.
When I sprung the letter she warnf-d up,
and we were soon merrily discussing our
experiences lu taking various kinds of falls
out of railroad treasurlea.
"When I arose to go I suggested that her
frlenda In Chicago might like to read a
little ' not from her, which I would be
pleased to deliver within a couple of days.
Never suspecting for a moment, she hopped
Jauntily out of bed and dashed off a few
lines In no time.
"Then I sprung my detective badge on
her and she suddenly became the most ac
tive woman I ever saw. Bhe ma do a break
for a gun, but I pulled first, and had her
In a cell in less than an hour.
"Bhe was arrested not long ago In Chi
cago for trying t Illm-flam another rail
road." New York Bun.

DEFENDS THEJIPPING SYSTEM
A Mlssourlan Issues s Land Talk
Against the Proposed
Legislation.
Dr. Alonzo Tubbs of Osage county, Mis
souri, who Is now proposing to abolish the
tipping Fjstem, will have to bring his luncn
with him or wear a Bherlock Holmes dis
guise the next time he comes to St. I.ouls.
Charles Krempp, a waiter at the Bt.
Nicholas hot;l, St. Louis, who says he has
sarnt half of a life in mastering the fine
points of hotel service, yesterday gave out
the following statement on the subject oi
tips, which the waiters und their patrons
are discussing with equal Interest:
"The waiter's salary does not amount to
anything. .The employer flxea the salary
according to the amount of tips tb Waitei
gets. In some placea the proprietor even
goes so far as to make his waiters pay him
po much for each table they serve. These
employers also make the waiter pay for
breakage, give them food not lit for a dog,
treat them like the commonest convicts,
keep a man on his feet eighteen hours a
day, have systems of checks for their own
protection, keep bloodhounds anil slave
drivers, like cuptalns, ana nead waiters and
dining room detectives to still further De
grade the men. They also require the men
to shave clean every day.
"In general, tha waiter pays his 'omni
bus' out of his earnings, also the pantry
men, tips the cook and has In the plurality
of houses to give up a large part of his
tips to the captuin who directs the custo
mers to his table, and to the head waiter,
upon whose mercy he Is dependent. His
laundry bills are higher thun those of
lord, his shoes must be hliid. his dress
neat and clean; his aprons und ties are not
furnished by the house, either. If you
come to think that this man has to support
a family, besides all these bloodsuckers,
you can easily Imagine how much he has
left when the week Is over.
"In France, Germany. Switzerland, Aus
tria, etc., you hove the government which
thinks It Its duty to look after the hotei
and restaurant waiter. A waiter has got to
have a training as piccolo for three years
before he graduates as a waiter. School
arc conducted In which the waiter a pro
fession Is taught theoretically and practic
ally. The acholar learna bookkeeping, carv
lug. treating the wlnea, and the German,
French and English languages. The achool
stands directly under the minister of edu
cation and schools, and an unsatisfactory
result at school prevents any plocolo from
graduation aa a waiter.
"Kurnpe knows what a Jewel a well con
ducted hotel is, and only a man who has
passed all the degrees of service can be
come a manager there. To get a similar
position In America all you have to do Is to
take so many shares tt company,"
Mr. Krempp suggests es a means ol
abolishing tips that a waiter' commission
of 10 per cent be added to (he guest's check,
or 5 per cent In family hotels and apart
ment houses. The guest would then know
what was expected and the waiter would
not have to be placed In the attitude ol
begging.-St. IxjuIb Globe-Democrat.
