Phone Nevins 4800 Some Army Fliers so Much In Air Wives Ask Divorce Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. Washington, Sept. 22-Members of the Army Air Service Reserve Corps in Los Angeles spend so much time at aviation fields and up in the air that several of their wives have sued them for divorce on grounds of abandonment, says Congressman W. Frank James, acting chairman of the House Military Affairs Committee, who has fust made a national aerial tour to study Army flying and housing conditions. James, who told this story in proof Mons: Belford Lauds Eagle Ambulance-Chasing Expose; Demand for Action Grows "The stories you are printing in The Eagle about the ambulance-chasing lawyers and insurance companies is more than interesting.

Well done! "I happen to know of some of the frauds perpetrated by these people. They take advantage of the ignorance or need of accident victims and endeavor to induce them to bring suit or, as their interest lies, compromise. They furnish witnesses, whom they drill. They destroy evidence. They commit all kinds of crime to make money at the expense of others.

"I know one man who received from one of the courts an award of $5,000 for an accident in which he alone was responsible. But his lawyer persuaded him to bring suit and provided witnesses whose perjured testimony won the verdict. The victim received only $2,500. "Take the case of Kelly, who was in the accident at Flatbush ave. some years ago.

The railroad company compromised with his widow for $35,000. She had to give $17,500 to the lawyer who induced her to sign a paper. "These so-called lawyers do not always try their cases. They employ some lawyer of ability and standing to handle and plead the case. They often deceive these men who really mean well.

To them they bring the witnesses they have drilled and the evidence they have manufactured. "If you accomplish no more than a warning to the victims' of accidents or create the right atmosphere in juries, you will have done a real service to the community, to say nothing of the larger interests of truth and justice. "Sincerely yours, "JOHN L. BELFORD, September 20, 1927. "Rector, Church of the Nativity." MANY ORGANIZATIONS CALL FOR ACTION ON GATNER'S CHARGES AND INDORSE EAGLE EXPOSE This letter follows previous ones along the same general lines from the New York Claim Association, the Association of Grand Jurors of New York County and Henry D.

Sayer of the State Industrial Commission, calling for action on Abraham Gatner's revelations and lauding The Eagle for its expose. The Association of Grand Jurors of New York County, through its president, Robert Appleton, and its secretary, H. F. J. Porter, urges all citizens, particularly reputable lawyers and physicians, and all official bodies, including the Baumes Crime Commission, Industrial Survey Commission, the Appellate Division, trial Judges and District Attorneys, to act on the charges already made.

Charles J. McGinty, superintendent of claims of the Lincoln Casualty Company, joins with these organizations and others in asserting that the facts are as Gatner is giving them. The Spectator one of the largest i insurance publishing houses in the world, through its president, Arthur L. J. Smith, has written to The Eagle calling upon the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court to take action on Gatner's charges.

The Building Managers and Owners Association is preparing to take action and the owners of motion picture theaters are meeting this afternoon to decide what steps should be taken. NO ACTION BY BENCH AND BAR. Meantime the Bar Association and the Bench are doing nothing. CORPORATIONS proved to his satisfaction that it AWARE OF FALSE CLAIMS, BUT PAY Continued on Page 18. are contributing a mighty share to an industry that is bringing opprobium to the bar, perjury to the courts, and, in this corrosive way, undermining the structure upon which the Government exists.

I cite the case of F. J. against a transatlantic steamship line. F. J.

was awarded a jury verdict for 000, which was later reduced to 000 by the superior courts, for a "fractured spine" which compelled him to wear a brace until the trial was over. I happen to know that the attorney for the steamship line in this case was reliably informed that the F. J. claim was a "phoney" and that, even so, it had been so "built up" that it could be settled for $25,000. This attorney, whom I shall designate as didn't report this information to his client, but elected to go to trial.

Of course, he lost, as is usually the case. But has he instituted criminal proceedings against the men who framed this case, using the information given him? He has not. Has he told his client why this large verdict had to be paid? I sincerely doubt it. Fake Claim Costs $35,000. me cite a railroad case, which involved one of the largest and most widely reputed law firms in the country.

This is the claim of "Mc" against of the largest railroads in the country, which was represented by. of the firm P. This was a deliberate frameupwhat is known in the "ambulance chasing" industry as a it cost the railroad company $35,000. I personally came in contact with this case. A man lost his leg on railroad property at a point in New Jersey through an accident which was not the railroad's fault.

I learned, upon my own investigation, that this case was offered to two honest attorneys, not in the "ambulance chasing" industry, but that they turned it down. The case was built up, and perfectly.

In plenty of time to save the railroad its money the attorney, of the upright law firm, was informed that it was a "fake."

THOMAS M. VALLEAU. GOO THEATERS OUT FOR CAMPAIGN ON 'CHASER' LAWYERS Movie Houses, Flooded by Fake Claims, to Fight Suits to Limit. Representatives of the 600 motion picture theaters of the city, aroused by The Eagle's campaign against "ambulance chasing" lawyers, decided late yesterday to formulate a fighting campaign against the accident claims now mounting against them and to begin by contesting to the limit every new suit that is brought. The decision was made by the insurance committee the Theater Owners' Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the representatives of three of the largest insurance companies which issue liability policies to the theater owners covering their losses against claims growing out of accidents.

Higher Seat Prices Loom. Representatives of the insurance companies told the insurance committee at a meeting held in the Theater Owners Chamber of Commerce in the Time Building, Times Square, Manhattan, that the flood of fake which has tripled in the last years has every indication of further increasing in the next year and that if it does insurance rates must rise. If the insurance rates do go higher it will mean that the public must be charged higher admission prices for moving picture theater seats. After the meeting, which lasted several hours, Eagle was informed that a committee is to be appointed before the end of the week consisting of both theater owners and insurance men which will go into the subject in detail and study judicial and legislative methods of curbing the evil. Predict Jail Term.

One of the leading members of the committee, William Brandt, owner of a chain of Brooklyn theaters, said: "Before we get through with this campaign, in association with the fight The Eagle is making, we are going to put somebody in jail. As far as it has alerady gone the expose of The Eagle should reduce our claims 50 percent. But we are not going to until we have won completely. stop, support of The Eagle campaign the theaters probably will devise information to be thrown on the screens of our theaters, because we must further arouse the public in its own interests, for, after all, it foots the bill. Ushers Aid Claimants.

"We are much conterested in some regulation of the fee along lines already suggested, such as the settling by the judge in every case of the amount of the fee to be paid the lawyers who bring suits. "We cannot understand where the claims against us arise. Our theaters are inspected for safety by the Police, Fire, Health and License Departments, and we are criminally responsible for the safety of our patrons. We do everything to prevent accidents. And yet these fake ones come in.

understand that in some instances ushers and assistant managers have been the go-betweens for these claimants and the lawyers, and we are going to draw up drastic regulations to control APPRAISALS BRAUN, AUGUST, July 2, 1925.

"The difference in air-mindedness between the East and the West is unbelievable," said Representative James, who comes from Michigan, "They believe in aviation as an established economic fact out there.

They think the city that doesn't get on a traveled air route right away will soon be in the position of the present-day town that is 10 miles from the nearest railroad." Mr. James told of one rich Callfornian who plans to ouild a $1,000,000 1 hotel with a large airport in conjunction as a means of attracting air travelers. He remarked that Portland, Oakland and San Francisco have each spent $1.000,000 upon their municipal airports, whereas the one at Spokane boasted a runway a mile and seven-eighths long. Los Angeles, he said, was preparing to spend between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 on a municipal airport. WALTER HAGEN TO BE PRESIDENT OF BASEBALL CLUB American Pro Golf Champion Among Purchasers of Rochester Franchise.

Rochester, N. Sept. 22 (P)-. Announcement was made today that Hagen, internationally famous golfer; John H. Ganzel, Robert, Harlow and, associates have purchased the Rochester International League Baseball Club from John L.

Hicks and William Gilbert, who operated the club during the season just closed. Hagen is American professional golf champion; John Ganzel was manager of the Rochester club of the International League from 1909 through 1914, and Robert E. Harlow is a former newspaperman and for five years Hagen's business manager. The announcement of the sale was made by John L. Hicks and William Gilbert, the former owners of the club.

Hagen stated that he had the assurance of President Toole that his associates and himself would be acceptable to the league owners as operators of Rochester franchise. Hagen will serve as president of the club, Ganzel as manager. Hagen played semi-professional baseball in Rochester when Ganzel managed Rochester club and frequently visited the ball park and threw the ball up in batting practice. He met Gazel at this time and their friendship was renewed in Florida. where they were associated in the golf manufacturing business.

DRUG SELLERS SENTENCED Mrs. Alice Simmons, 382 State and William Coleman, alias "Big Bill," of 103 Schermerhorn were sentenced yesterday by Federal Judge Grover M. Moscowitz to 10 months in Rhode Island Reformatory for Women and a year and a day in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, respectively. They pleaded guilty to a charge of selling narcotics. bright, crisp bill, insist upon both "advance" money, and then a split of the attorneys' fees.

When these men receive a "promise" they insist upon its being fulfilled at the expense of violence. And violence only recently has become the manner of the business, or that section of it which deals in these high-paying claims, for "ambulance chasing" lawyers are equally prepared to defend their illegal sources of profit as are these in other lawbreaking pursuits. Guerillas and "bodyguards," including many exconvicts, are finding employment for talents made hazardous along old lines by the Baumes Laws. Gun Play in Law Office. I can cite an argument in an "ambulance chasing" office resulted in gun play might have resulted in a murder.

The gun, incidentally, has been purchased from a witness who had testified in one of this firm's cases. I myself have received numerous threats of bodily harm, one directly in the New York Supreme Court Building, which I. reported at the time to the office of the district attorney. So far as the transportation interests are concerned 1 I wish to for the opposite side of the record Dr. John Miles Gibbons, general counsel of the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad, and 0.

G. Brown, claims attorney of the a New York Central Lines, who are always fighting this criminal industry against overwhelming odds, not only through their own offices but through the formation of fighting organizations, in which they never have had the proper support. Unfortunately the heads of some other legal and claims departments for great corporations are too much worried about their own jobs in which, in all events, they lack the independence of action of these two men. Seamen Produce "Accidents." Of great interest to the "transportation branch" of the "ambulance chasing" industry is a group of hospitals maintained by the Federal Government under international agreements for the seamen of all nations. These merchant seamen are "ready" cash customers, and when accidents are wanting they can produce them.

The big "ambulance chasing" law offices make much use of these facilities. Lest I forget, there is also prominent in this side of the industry an employee for the United States Shipping Board who goes around posing as a Department of Justice agent, and with this prestige in Government hospitals and on Government property "chases" up lucrative cases, through information or otherwise, to law firms who pay him, and pay him very well.
