A LIABILITY BILL 7ILLBEEIIACTED Modified Measure, to Keep Platform Pledge to Be Shoved Through.

(Palladium special) Indianapolis. Feb. 17. A modified employers' liability bill, to be known aa the Beal-Shlvely bill, will be Jammed through the senate Friday morn ing under caucus pressure, as another stride In the Democratic path of platform redemption. A caucus was held Thursday after the sessiion. the new bill read and a coin toswd to aoe whether the honor of Introduction should fall to Shivcly or Real. Shively won. The bill is not the one wanted by the state federation of labor as It is minus one tooth, extracted to gain the support of Senator Stotsenburg. The comparative negligence clause, which made It possible for a jury .to compensate In proort'on to his negligence, has been taken out. This makes the blli considerably less effective, but labor leaders are playing the utilitarian game, offering thanks for whatever they can get. The important clauses of the bill are as follows: The employer shall be liable and respond to danages where injury or death resulted in whole or In part from the negligence of employer or his servants, employes or officers, or by reason of defect, mismanagement or insufficiency due to his carelessness, negligence, fault or omission of duty. The Burden of Proof. The burden of proor that the killed or injured errploye did not use due care shall be on the defendant, bitt It may be proved under the general denial. No employe shall be considered guilty of negligence or contributory nlgligencc by reason of assumption of risk. It shall not be a defense that the dangers or hazzards Inherent in the employment, contributed to the Injury. No Injured employe shall be con sidered guilty of negligence or contributory negligence where the injury resulted from obed'ence to any or der of the employer or his representative. The employe la exempt from assumption of risk, when the injury was caused through the violation of any law or public order, by the employer or his representative. The employe shall not be consider ed to have assumed the risk wnen the Injury is caused by defect In the place of work, the tool or implement furnished by the employer. If the employer knew or might have known of the defect. Any contract or device to exempt the employer from the workings of tho act is void. But the employer may be granted a setoff when he shows he has pHld into insurance or relief funds. Liability of employer shall not ex ceed $10,000. All questions of assumption of risk, negligenco or contributory negligence shall be decided by the jury, and when there is no Jury, by the court. The act is In force from and after Its passage. PATCH UPTHE BILL Introduced by Sen. Wood Legalizing Tax Ferrets. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Feb. 17.-r-The senate omnibus went out for its daily trip Thursday afternoon, but this time the usually eventful journey around the commons was enlivened by a bit of horseplay with one of the passengers, vli.. Senator Wood's tax ferret legalizing act, which was made to turn its pockets Inside out and throw away its chewing gum. rA t..nu t in this same bill, and with much dignity it arose and left the omnibus. This time. Senator Wood was ready to prove his right to send the passenger. So when the first sign of sport began, he arose to amend the act by inserting the word "heretofore" which makes it apply only to cases which have occurred In the past. This did not altogether satisfy the senate, and Senator Wood argued at considerable length as to the prefect Innocence of the bill. He finally was forced to submit to another amendment which took away Its application to payments now being fought in the courts. Kven with these amendments, fifteen voted against the measure, as follows: Aiken. Carleton. Fleming. Gers, Grube. Harlan. Hauck. Kistler, Long, Powers. Royse, Shively, Tilden, Trautmann, Yarling. Those not voting were Lambert, Jackson and Hlggins. Nine other legalizing acts were passed,sone by Royse being amended by him to take away the last vestige of suspected judicial power county auditors might have now. Two bills were reported for indefinite postponement one being the measure fixing a maximum license for pool and billiard tables of $15, introduced by Senator Curtis, to prevent the prohibition by any community of pool and billiard playing. The other was the bill Introduced to regulate the trade of horseshoeing. The shot-flrers bill was made a special order of business for 2:30 p. m. today. The XMsay Of Life.

INSANITY CURED BY OPEII AIRTREATMEIIT Massachusetts Has a Farm Colony for Mentally Unbalanced. Dependents. Boston. Feb. 17. Frederick W. Coburn, writing in the Herald says: Country life in Massachusetts has no more striking feature than a farm community of nearly seven hundred souls supported on 1,600 acres of mountain land, in large measure from the labor of people who have lost their minds. The place is remarkable, both as an object lesson in productive efficiency and in the conservation of mere remnants and fragments of human life. The Gardner State Colony for the Insane, situated on the ridge that at Hast Gardner parts

the waters of the Merrlmac and Connecticut, has become quite without the average citizen's knowing anything about it, an example to the whole country of the Industrial sapacity of the chronic insane. Rack to the land has become a watchword among psychiatrists as well as sociologists. The mud cure for mania was an ancient device which perhaps had a certain tempo rary effectiveness. The violent lunatic was buried up to the neck for the sake of the quieting influence of the contact with the cool ground. At the Gardner colony a more varied rational and useful scheme has been worked out, one of bringing the de mented into dally contact with mother earth, and of keeping them as cpnstantly and contentedly employed as their strength and Intelligence permit, at the age-old pursuits of the farm. Arrests Progress of Disease. The net result of several years of experimentation has been to make it very certain that the work treatment, under skilled supervision, does more for those whose minds are partly gone than any other kind of treatment that has been advised. It brings constant pleasure to tho patient and it tends to arrest the progress of the disease. A stronger .statement will, be possible later. Most of the cases taken at the Gardner colony are of the incurable kind people well along In years who have already been under treatment at insane hospitals. They are sent to Gardner because it is the right place for them, and not because it is expected that eventually they will go back to their friends and relatives. Yet such is the sanative value of healthful occupation under the influence of air and earth, that now and then the physicians are surprised by a patients actually getting well. If the proportion of younger and less advanced cases were larger, the percentage of these recoveries would be considerable. COLD STORAGE SKIN Method for Preserving Epidermis Discovered. Philadelphia, Feb. 17. Preserving human skin is a new triumph of medical science which has been successfully demonstrated at the Samaritan hospital. Thirty-two square inches inches of skin were taken, from the body of one patient in the course of an operation . on February 3. Five days later the same skin was grafted on the arm of another patient. It is now eight days since the skin was grafted, said Dr. W. Wayne Babcock, head surgeon at the Samaritan hospital,, announces that the skin has grown into the flesh perfectly and the operation is a complete success. This discovery of the possibility of keeping the human skin alive after It has been cut from the body is of great importance. Heretofore it has been thought necssary totransfer the skin to the new body the instant it was cut off from the old body. This made it necessary for one or more healthy persons to volunteer to undergo a painful operation and have a big section of their' epidermis cut off. Volunteers had to be called for, and often it was difficult to procure proper subjects. Now it will be possible for each hospitalto keep a supply of skin on ice ready for any victim of a fire or other accident which has injured the skin. Whenever an amputation is performed, or any other operation which compels the removal of the outer flesh, the detached leg or arm will be skinned and the epidermis preserved. Dr. Babcock's method was to take the skin and wrap it in absolutely antiseptic cloth. This was placed in a her metically sealed jar, which was in turn placed in a bath of ice water in a darkened room.

HEW YORKER MADE KING OFJI ISLAND Dazzling Silk Skirts Win Admiration of South Sea Inhabitants.

San Francisco. Feb. 17. The German trading schooner Triton, which has arrived here from the South Seas brings a tale of a former New Yorker who now rules as King Aroria, one of the Marshall Islands. Two months ago when the Triton arrived off Arorai island to barter with the natives the discovery was made that the ruler of this beautiful isle was none other than Archibald C. Everett, who seven years ago was a resident of New York. Financial reverses then caused Ev erett to pack up bis summer flannels and silk shirts and seek his fortune in the sea. After several adventures he landed at Troria and brought forth his beautiful raiment. His conquest was immediate and complete. Dusky maidens were captivated by this fair skinned youth and the natives decided he should be crowned king. He was called "Etamoroa" (the Immaculate one.) His subjects catch sharks and gather cocoanuts for barter with the trading steamers. The native girls sing to him during his seistas. He wears always his royal raiment white duck trousers, a silk shirt and a scarf of color. The Triton also brought news of the death of old chief Kuba, who ruled over a neighboring island, and of the cruel decree promulgated and carried out by young Chief Lat, who swings Kabua's sceptre. Lat issued a royal proclamation ordering every native woman on the island to shear her tresses. There was weeping and wailing, of course, but all obeyed the order. The shorn tresses were delivered, to the head man of each village and by him burned. MYTHICAL MILLIONS DRIVES BRIDE AWAY Muskogee. Okla., Feb. 17 Willam F. Louderbach advertised for a wife, saying he could collect a fortune only on his marriabe. He promised to pay Miss Ruth Beall, eighteen, of Webber's Falls, $1,000 on marriage and she came here and thel were married by Judge Thomas Leahy. Then Louderbach gave the judge a check for $10,885 and asked him how it should be indorsed. Judge Leahy looked at the check and saw it was signed: "J. J.. Do as you would be done by." Just then friends of the girl telephoned the judge to "prevent her marriage at all hazards. The bride fled from the court room and disappeared. Louderbach has hallucinations that he can command milloins if he can have a wife to indorse his checks. KING NICHOLAS IS REPORTED VERY LOW (American News Service) Cettinje, Montenegro, Feb. 17. The family of King Nicholas was summoned to the royal palace today. Specialists called from Vienna, arrived last night and attempted to stop a flow of blood resulting from the rupture of a vein on Monday. A slight cessation was noticed but the King steadily grew weaker and no hope was held out for his recovery. King Nicholas is 70 years old.
