Washington State Has Model Act for Employe and Employe

(Palladium Special) Spokane, Wash., June 23. Adequate protection for employer and employe, Increased safety of Industrial operations, sure and certain relief for workers Injured at hazardous occupations and their families, elimination of litigation and regulation by state police powers of dangerous trades, are some of the advantages claimed for the workman's compensation act', which will become effective in Washington on the first day of next October. The theory of the act, which was adopted by the last legislature, is stated in these words: "The welfaro of the state depends on Its industries and even more upon the welfare of Its wage earners." AH factories, mills and workshops where machinery is used, come under the act, as also do foundries, quarries, mines, smelters, powder works, breweries, elevators, docks, dredges, laundries, printing, engineering, logging lumbering, ship building, railroad and general building operations, street and interurban railroads, electrical power and heating plants and steamboats. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars has been appropriated by the state to bear the expense of administering the law, and Governor Hay has appointed a com mission to have full charge of the industrial Insurance work, Including the collection of premiums and tho adjustment and settlement of claims. The commission, which Is composed of George A. Lee, of Spokane, chairman; C. A. Pratt, of Tacoma, and J. If. Wallace, of Seattle, has power to create new classes and cptabllBh new rates. Howard L. Hlndley of Spokane, Is secretary, with headquarters at Olympia. The law provides that each In dustry in the state shall contribute a certain percentage of Its pay roll to an accident fund, from which various sums are paid out for total or part disability or on death to the family and dependents of the Injured workman, tho expense of handling the fund bein borne by the state. Injured workmen, their families or dependents cannot recover by law except where tho Injury is caused by the intent of the employer. In which case the workman or his family may recover not only the sums due under this act, but also may sue for any excess of damage over those amounts. Where a workman Is injured because the employer has neglected to observe the safeguards required by law or by the regulations of the department, the employer must pay 50 per cent more then the fixed amounts. Where the workman intentionally injures himself he receives no benefit. The Industries of the state are classified and certain premiums fixed for each class. The employers are required to pay three months' premiums Into the state treasury on or before October 1, 1911. After December 31, monthly payments are required; provided however, that if any industry has a sufficient amount on deposit with the state to take care of Its accidents no further payments shall be required. Each industry is responsible only for the accidents occurring in that

class. It is intended that the accident fund shall be neither more or less than self supporting. The rates are

! subject to readjustment, depending on

the number of accidents and the need for compensation of injured workmen. Employers are required to report accidents promptly, and their books,

records and pay rolls must be open 'for Inspection by the commission. Refusal to permit Inspection is made a

misdemeanor and tne employer also Is penalized $100 for each offense, to be collected by action In court and paid into the accident fund. Misrepresentation in his pay roll makes the employer liable to ten times the difference between the correct and the wrongLf-res. If the employer refuses oria!ISAto pay his monthly assessments.' al- "Workman injured in his 8erWc saay sue in the

courts with the enVpteyef's defenses of "fellow servant," "assumption of risk" and "contributory, negligence" abolished. No part of the premium can be deducted from the wages of the workman, the violation by the employer of this section of the law being made a gross misdemeanor, punishable by one year In the county jail or by a fine of $1,000 or both. The schedule of payments for various injuries is as follows: In the event of death, expenses of burial, $75; payments to widow-or Invalid widower, $20 a month while unmarried, $240 in a lump sum on remarriage of the widow; for each surviving child under 16, $5 a month, monthly amount limited to $35; if no widow or widower survives, $10 a month to each child under 16 years. The same rule applies to children who become orphans by death of surviving parent, with monthly limit of $35. Dependents will be paid 50 per cent of the average monthly support formerly received from the deceased workman, limited to $20 a month. . Parents of deceased unmarried workmen receive $20 a month up to time deceased would have been 21 years of age. When totally disabled, loss of both arms or one leg and arm, sight, paralysis or other injury preventing the workman from doing any work, entitles him to $20 a month if unmarried; if supporting wife or invalid husband, $25 a month; if the husband is not an invalid, $15. For each child under 16 years, $5 additional a month up to a total of $35. In case of death of the totally disabled worker, the widow or widower receives $20 a month until death or remarriage and $5 a month additional for each child under 16 years. Orphaned children receive $10 a month. When disabled by the loss of a foot, leg, hand or arm, eye or fingers, the workman will receive a certain cash lump sum up to $1,500. The loss of an arm at the elbow is made the maximum injury and the payment for other injuries. is scaled down by the commission. If the injured workman resides or moves out of the state the commission may lump the monthly payments, not to exceed $4,000, based on the American mortality table. Any decision of the commission is subject to appeal in the superior courts.

A CARDINAL'S SALT CUP. Monumental Work of Art Designed by Bonvonuto Collini. At the same time that the cardinal gave me some other comtulsslons to execute he employed me to make a model of a saltcellar, but desired it Should be In a different taste from the common ones. I designed on oral almost tvo-third of a cubit in size, and upon this oval as the sea appears to embrace the earth I made two figures about a hand high in a sitting posture, with the legs of one within those of the other, as some long branches of the sea are seen to enter the land. And In the hand of the male figure, representing the ocean, I put a ship, designed with great care, In which was deposited a great quantity of salt Under this I represented four sea horses, and In the right hand of the ocean I put bis trident. The earth I represented by the female figure, the most elegant and beautiful I could form nn Idea of, leaning with one hand against a grand and magnificent temple. This was to hold the pepper. In the other hand I put a cornucopia adorned with all the embellishments I could think of. To complete this idea in that part which appeared to be earth I represented all the most beautiful animals which so small a space was capable of containing. 1 the remainder of the oral 1 placed several grand and nobl? ornaments.

W, BUCKLEY; KING HUNTERS: OFF AGAIN

Elephant Hunting Is Finest in World Killed 8 in Thirty Minutes.

Tho Sidosaddlo. It Is generally understood that tbc sidesaddle used - by ladles In honeback riding was the Invention of tbt famous Catherine de Medici while sh was queen regent of France, say about 1539. Among ber many other accom plisbmenu Catherine was an expert horsewoman and often spent days to get her in bunting and following tb chase. It was while getting used to her new manner of riding necessitated by her sidesaddle that the Queen re cetved the fall which fractured her skull snd came very near terminating her career. As a matter of coarse it was no sooner known that Catherine had taken to riding sldewlse than the custom became popular with the wo men all over Kuropa. JCxcBange,

London, June 24. There was a great gathering of big game hunters at the reception room of the Ugunda railway offices in the Haymarket to

say good-by to W. Buckley, who has left for another elephant hunting expedition in central Africa. In the world of big game hunters Mr. Buckley is readily acknowledged to be king. Already five hundred elephantB have fallen to his rifle, which Is the record for the world. Mr. Buckley Is a typical hunter hard and wiry, with keen eyes and the light, easy tread of a man who carries his life in his hands in the wild countries of the world. . "I have had a good five menth's holiday in England, and I leave for

Antwerp to join the steamship Leooldvllle for Natadi, on the Congo river. From there I set off on a journey across Africa to Mombasa. I 6hall have from seventy to one hundred bearers to carry my ammunition and 'hop boxes, which are already packed and on the way. I estimate the Journey will occupy me for twelve months. Finest Sport in the World.

"As for the elephant shooting, well, all hunters admit that it is the finest sport in the world. When the news comes that there are elephants about the whole neighborhood is seething with excitement. The natives go frantic, and everything is forgotten except the elephants. "When I went out to 6hoot my first elephant on the banks of the Nile, the natives rushed me off as if I had to catch a bus at the end of the street. We marched for four hours before we came upon the herd. I was a beginner then, and was a long time bringing down my first elephant. "There are three curious things about the elephant. "1. Although he is the biggest animal in the world, he is the hardest to see, for he is the same color of the forest. "2. For all his vast area; there is little more than a square foot of him that is vulnerable to a bullet. "3. All elephants are 'left handed.' as Is proved by the fact that the left tusk is always shorter, being worn away with work. $2,500 Worth of Ivory in 30 Minutes "My biggest bag of elephants in one day was- ten. but. the most profitable was a day when I. shot eight, and their tusks weighed eixty-six pounds. It took me halt an hour to shoot them, and the ivory was worth $2,500. Of course it was an exceptionally big day. "The tusks of the biggest elephant weighed 282 pounds the right tusk 147 pounds and the left 135 pounds.

Ivory varies in price from $2 a pound to $3, the latter price being for the hard brittle ivory of the forest ele

phants.

"The price depends, too, on the sex

of the elephant. The cow ivory is worth as much as $5 a pound; the bull, perhaps, $3. "The elephant is a very blind animal. From tests carried out be can not see further than 170 yards, but he can scent a man for half a mile, and can distinguish between a white man and a black man. When he charges he always makes for a white man. Lion Shooting Tame "You meet some strange characters in the heart of the African forest sometimes," continued Mr. Buckley. "There was a Swede, for instance,

who walked from Mombasa to Khartoum with no other asset than a string

of cowrie shells value about 40 cents.

Of course, he lived as the natives do, that is, on the fruits and vegetables that grow in the forests.

"A white man is safe enough, but a native would be killed by a rival tribe

if he strayed twenty miles away from his home. Most of the big game hunters agreed that lion shooting was dull after hunting elephants. Amongst the hunter who had assembled in the picturesque reception room of the Ugunda railway officees, which are fitted up to resemble a camp in the forest, was F. H. Barley, who was in charge of Prince Arthur of Connaught's Hon shooting trip in British East Africa. "Lions are often cowardly," he said, "but one that Prince Arthur shot was the pluckiest I have ever seen.. "He charged straight up the ravine at him, regardless of the row of guns, and was making straight for the Prince when he brought him down."

Several of the provinces of Canada showed a decline in the value of their farm products last year from the figures for 1909.
