COMPENSATION OF INJURED WORKMEN LAW DRASTIC ONE

New Indiana Statute Never Before Equaled in This Country and the Labor Chiefs Arc Happy. NO LOOPHOLES FOR EMPLOYER VISIBLE Story of Success of Measure Is of One of Smoothest Bits of Legislation in the State's History. (Palladium Fpfrlul) Indianapolis, March 7. The moat drastic workmen' compensation law in America was written in th statutes of Indiana by the legislature which closed Monday night. It whs passed without comment, received never a complaint la committee, and, as a matter of fact, not one member of the. legislature prob.ibly knows that ho helped put tho law on the books. It Ih embodied In section 4 of Senate bill No. 288, Introduced by Senat or Siotsenburg by request. Taken In connection with tho employers' liability law, It makes the most stringent law for tho benefit of Injured workIngtnen ever enacted In the t'nltcd Stales. The employers' liability law In brief makes tho employer responsible for nil violation of law, end relieves the worklngnuin from assumption of risk, contributory negligence or ncRllgcnce of u fellow workman. Employer Responsible. Tho section In question puts upon the employer the task of making safe every sort of machinery, specifying in tho minutest detail how he must InM'ct arid protect, and gives him not tho slightest loophole. Practically every Injury will occur from some violation of this section, and when the law Is violated, the employer I responsible. The courts, with tho aid of a Jury, It Is believed, will have no other recourse than to give full damages. IjHltor leaders, elated over the pas sage of the act, sny this form of compensation Is better than tho much argued scheme of fixed compensation, for under this plan the worker gets only half compensation. They believe with u strict law, they will And tho courts more generous than the employer. The r.tory of the success of this sect'on is ono of the smoothest bits, of legislative work ever seen. Senate bill No. asS was Introduced by Senator tftotsenburg by request. It came before the committee and the Mist three tcctions were thoroughly argued. The f o otid and third sections bear altogether upon the hazards of structural lro:i employment, and provide that temporary flooring must be furnished within u specified number of feet of the workers. The new Itlock building being erected wiihin one square of the state house furnished a splendid example of I ho clangers of the work n iid the bravery of the men engaged In It. The labor man, lu speaking before the committee with telling effect drove home their arguments about the dangers of shinning up Bteel frames iind crawling along swinging beams. Their' was u dramatic story, and when the committee decided on what bllla to report out, they said: "This is it good bill." When the bill came up In tho senate, Senator Stotaenhurg, with the harrowing tales still ringing In his oars, explained the purpose of tho bill and It went through with a bang. The bouse passed It still thinking of the dangers of structural Iron work. One on the Lobbyist. The title of the bill was made broad enough by the committee of labor men who drew It up most of the work being done by Henry V. Hullock to cover section 4. Section 1 was

Not u legislator, evidently, read this section, or understood its full meaning. Not a lobbyist found out what was in it. So today it la written into law. UNFORTUNATE FIDO IN VERY BAD FIX The poor bedraggled dog, which picks his way down the wet muddy streets today, with his dripping hair clinging close, will sigh, when he hears what the city lathers said about the whole canine family at its meeting lant night, so cruel was the condemnation, lie will envy his country brother who can kill sheep and cattle almost at will, but the poor city pups cannot even congregate in the grass plots of Richmond any more without being shot at he cannot chase cats down the street he never more may bay at the moon without endangering his very existence, nor may ho snap at the logs of the "cops." Councilman King took a fall out of the dogs, last night, when ho said they were tearing up the East End. lie saiil there were fully fifteen in his yard tho other day, having a regular camp meeting. On investigation ho found only two had owners. "Kill 'em if they damage property," quoth the Mayor. CELEBRATE WITH BEER AND BAND (American News Sorvlrc) St. Louis. March 7.

11 SURPRISE PARTY Ends with Woman Getting a Black Eye. "One of the most elaborate and charming society events" of the early Lenten season, a surprise party on Mr. Fred Jefferson, a negro, at his home on North G street, received an airing in police court this morning, when Mr. Jefferson was fined for blacking his wife's eye. Friends of the family began assembling about six o'clock to celebrate Mr. Jefferson's birthday anniversary. Fiddles, banjos and piano furnished the music, while a small keg of beer "was effectively placed in one corner of the parlor, which was embellished with small flowers." A large stein decorated the keg. naturally. The party did not break up till the early morning hours. When some of the "company" had gone Mrs. Jefferson claims she remonstrated with her husband on some minor matter and he blacked her eye. He was arrested by Patrolman Bundy later on her complaint. Jefferson received $1 and costs this morning. RELEASE SEGO ON A SERIOUS CHARGE Jacob Sego, who has been in custody since Sunday will be released inasmuch as Prosecuting Attorney Chas. Iadd has found no evidence sufficient to base an affidavit of the grave charge on which he was arrested on suspicion. It was alleged he attempted an assault on the twelve-year-old daughter of Charles Haller, living north of the city and a neighbor to the Segos. Haller told Sheriff Steen he would not press the charge if the Sego family would move from the city, but the state's attorney says no such agreement will enter into Sego's release, so far as he is concerned. DUNNE SUPPORTERS ARE ENCOURAGED Chicago, 111., March 7. Recount of all of tho Democratic primary ballots in the recent mayoralty election got well under way today under the supervision of county Judge Owen. Edward F. Dunne, defeated candidate, is contesting the election of Carter II. Harrison on the grounds of fraud. Dunne declares that the 1,556 plurality of Harrison Is so slight and evidences of fraud are so numerous that the count will show him to have been nominated for the place. In 123 precincts which already have been recounted, Harrison has lost 61 votes and adherents of Dunne are in high feather. A Spanish Dictionary. The science of dictionary making has made some progress In the past hundred years, if we are to Judge by an entry in "The Spanish Journal of Lady Holland." She writes under date February, 1903: "A biographical dictionary of 'Los Hijos d Madrid' is no bad specimen 0f the roundabout way in which Spaniards do things. Tbe names are arranged in alphabetical order, but, alas, according to the Christian names of the worthies ; therefore one might look for an hour for the most celebrated hero in Spain and not find it at Last unless one had an extract from tbe parish record of all tbe saints under whose protection the parents chose to d' Uutta Percha. Guita percba is very like caoutchouc, bat is sironfer, more soluble and less elastic.

52 INSTEAD OF 53 SAW IN CITY Important Discovery Changes Aspect of Saloon Dispute in Richmond.

'On Tuesday in examining the records as to the number of saloons in the city it was found there are fiftytwo instead of fifty-three now operative. I'ntil this discovery there had been no end to the contention as to which one of the present saloonists would have to retire in compliance with that section of the law which provides the maximum number of saloons shall be one to five hundred population. The situation is peculiar in that the conditions in this city exactly fit the law. In 1910. John Sullivan secured a license to dispense liquor at his place of business on South Ninth street. He disposed of his business to Andrew "Wysong, who secured a license, but no official was notified that Mr. Sullivan had surrendered his license, and bo in counting up the number of licenses Issued in the last twelve months, the records showed the issuance of fiftythree. A local saloon keeper, however, pointed out where the county officials had been in error, much to their relief. Action on the advice of four attor neys, the commissioners late on Monday afternoon granted licenses to Henry Shannon, Joseph Collins, and Matthew Miller, but held in abeyance the application of Alphons Collett. It is certain a license will be given Mr. Collett on Wednesday at the adjourned meeting of the board of commission ers. The three who received licenses, paid the following license fees: $205 to the county, $201 to the city instead of $25.1, as was the case under the old law. Council must fix the license fee to be charged by the' city. If it does not the law provides $200. Wholesale liquor establishments which sell in quantities between one and live gallons, and not on their place of business, being distributing agents instead, must take out a county license, net ting $200 in revenue to the county tui tion fund each year. There are three such establishments here now, including Minck Brewing company. John Wrede and Mr. Rowlett. SPRING RIDING HABIT.
