DRAWN UP BY-A I}UMMlTTEE‘ Measure Affects Fellow Servant, As: sumed Risk and Contributory Neg- ligence Rules—Defines the List of Hazardous Occupations and Fixes Sums to Be Paid Dependents When Employe ls Killed. St. Paul, March 9.—A workingmen’s ‘compensation act Which will give something to injured employes who get nothing under the present stat- utes and also, to some extent, de- crease the expensive litigation con- nected with personal injury suits, was introduced in the house by the special committee appointed for that purpose, headed by D. A. Stuart of Windom. The present laws are left in existence 5o that anyone who can recover a Jarge sum can do so in the future but those who cannot recover at present because of the operation of the fellow servant act rule, the law of assumed risk and the law of contributory negli- gence, can recover certain sums stated 1n the schedule of compensation in the bill. The only exception is that where the employe disobeyed a reasonable rule when he knew that such disobe- ‘dience would probably result in an ac- cident, he cannot recover. The bill names the hazardous occu- pations, as follows: The operation of raflroads, maintaining and repairing road beds and station premises, work about railroad yards and shops, con- struction of bridges and crossings where trains are in operation; the operation of street railways; mining and quarrying, sewer construction, tunnel construction, handling explo- sives, foundry work, work in mills and factories where other than hand power is used, machinery connected with high voltage electrical currents, work on buildings forty feet high and build- ing bridges over sixty feet long. When an Employe Is Killed. ‘When an employe is killed in any, such work, the employer shall pay those wholly dependent‘on him three years’ wages, Which shall not be less than $2,000 or more than $3;000. If he s survived only by those partly de- pendent upon him the sum is only twothirds as great. If he had no one dependent on him, the employer must pay only his medical and hospital bills and $75 for burial. ‘When the injury results in loss of both hands and both feet, the amount 1s equal to four years’ wages, not less than $2,650 or more than $4,000. For two hands or two feet or hand and & foot, the'sum shall he between $2, 000 and $3,000. For one hand or one foot, thc sum must be between $660 and $1,000. For loss of both eyes, the sum is the same as in ‘case of death andfor one eye a third as much. Total deafness brings $1,000 to $1.500. ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR A GOOD STOMAGH This Offer Should Be a Warning To Every Man and Woman. The newspapers and medical journals recently- have had much to say relative.to a famous millionaire’s | offer of a million dollars for 2 new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worfy about the con- dition of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became in- curable. His misfortune serves as a warning to others. Everyone who suffers with dys- pepsia for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia is caused by abnormal state of the gastric juices. There is one element missing. The ab- sence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluids. They lose their power to digest food. We are now ableto supply the missing element—to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, nnd' to make the stomach strong and well. We know that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will positively and per- mantly cure disordered stomachs, indigestion and dyspepsia. We want you to trythem and .will return your money if you are not more " than ' satisfied with the resnlt. Price 25 cents.

The Dbill then provides that if the emploger refuses to camply with the fet, the jujured may bring an action in Gourt, and in that case the employ- er cannot make the defense of con- {ributory negligence, fellow servant or assumed risk. 1f, on the other hand, The employe re(“%s to accept the pro- vislons of the act and brings action to recover for a larger amount, the em- player may make the defense of con- | tributpy negligence, assumed risks {or fellow servapt rule just as at pres. nt. Judge May Arbitrate Dispute. When a dispnte arises between an ) “injured employe and the employer, they may make the district judge the arbitrator and have judgment entered within ten days. The act is to take effect at the be- ginning of 1910, if passed. N The bill says nothing about the commission which the State Employ- erg’ assoclation and the State Federa. tion of Labor agreed upon and recom- mended to the legislature through the governor. On account of the town and village election a number of the house mem- bers were absent and the house spent the forenoon working in committee of the whole. The bills that received favorable action included Nolan’s bill requiring aity councils to look into the charac- ter of saloon license applicants, Matt- gon’s bill providing for a census of school children and Wohlhuter’s town- ship drainage bill Sickness of a state officer for six months is cause for appointing of a substitute under a bill to be intro- duced In the senate by S.-A. Nelson of Lanesboro. The governor will have power to declare the office vacant and appoint a successor if the illness keeps an officeholder from work for six months. ¥ A Dbill requiring the state board of control to establish a rock-crushing plant at the state reformatory at St. Cloud, to employ at least twenty in- mates at the plant and to furnish the crushed rock free on board cars at St. Cloud for the use of the state highway commission, was introduced by Representatives Sawyer and Spoon- er.

Vienna, March )—A- total death Hst- of more than 200, with millions of dollars’ “worth of property de- stroyed, will result from the blizzard that has raged throughout a large part of Europe for the last'three days, according to straggling reports that are reaching here. It i3 known that more than 150 per- sons have been killed i avalanches in Austria alone. A farmhouse at Granz was buried, killing seventeen persons, nin€ of whom were children. Forty people lost their lives in the crushing of a shelter house for rail way men in the Anlauf valley. Twelve men were rescued from this house. ‘When telegraphic and railway com- munication is ‘restored with many, places that are now isolated-it is be: leved that the casualties will. bej found to be greatly increased. Thej storm was the most severe in recént years and the suffering in its path is such as to call for public recognition.

STATE FIRST To SUM UP Captain = Fitzkugh, In His Opening Speech for the Prosecution, Bitterly Attacks Colonel Cooper, the Aged Defendant, and Asserts That the Killing of Carmack Was a Premedi- tated Act. Nashville, Tenn,, March ).—Captain Fitzhugh, in his opening speech for tho state in the trial of Colonel Dun- can B.. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John D. Sharpe for the murder of for- mer Senator Carmack, described how on Sunday night, Nov. 8, Colonel Coo- per was at the Tulane hotel to meet E. B. Craig, how Cooper made threats about Carmack to Craig and how these threats were transinitted to for- mer Senator Carmack. “Colonel Cooper met Craig on per- sonal business, but he pressed the business on the side and revealed what was in his black heart,” said the lawyer. “He owed his friend Craig money—he owed all his friends G T. FITZHUGH. money and he never-bothered about money .owed. But e broke out and said: ‘If my name appears in the ‘Tennesseean again Carmack or 1 must die.’ “Think of it, gentlémen, this' man who is a sclf-confessed lobbyist for a railroad; this man who is charged by Teputable men with having-embezzled morey entrusted to his. care; this man whose name had been bandied about the state: this man whose dark and devious ways have now been un- y covered dared to send to an honest and upright journalist the threat that if his name appeared in the Tennes- seean again one of them must die. Think of it. “And when the tragedy was over the defendants began to look for a cause, for an excuse. Their attorneys searched the stenographic reports. They examined the joint debates ‘be: tween Carmack and Patterson. ~ And what did they find? That Carmack had roferred to ‘that little baldheaded angel, -Dunc Cooper,” and had asked did the angel ‘come from above or be- low?" and “was there the Smell of sul- phur on his wings? ” During Attorney Fitzhugh’s bitter. arraignment of Colonel Cooper the old defendant -sat quietly, with his eyes shut -and his hands folded, as:though asleep. BAN ON SOCIALIST ‘PARTY Members of Catholic Church Must Not Belong to It. - Manitowee, ‘Wis., ' March~ 9.—Mem- bers of:the Roman Catholic church who are affiliated with the Socialist party must choose between that party and their church. This was broadly intimated by Rev. Kubiszewsky of St. Mary’s Polish Catholic church in an address from ‘the pulpit. The priest read a .circular letter from the pope which he said was the basis for his statement and similar addresses will be made-by all Cath- olic priests in the state. ‘The climax was forced here by the recent nom- ination by the Socialists of Peter Kaufmann, a member of the Catholic church, for ¢ity treasurer. Kaufmann /| has withdrawn -from the ticket, how- ever,’and it is said will sever hls con- nection with the party. Greater Increase in Crime. New York, March ).—That the in- crease of crime is keeping abreast of | B! the city’s growth is shown by'the an- nual report of the district attorney’s office, - which has just been issued.

PEOPLE NOT ALIVE 10 THE SITUATION Letter of -Roosevelt on Infer- vention in” Hayti. New York, March ')—What pur- ports to be-the views. of Theodore Roosevelt of the-attitude of the Unit ed States- concerning Hayti, as .ex pressed during. his incumbency on Dec. 4 last, is contained in a special ceblegram- to the ‘Herald from King: ston, Jamaica, quoting a letter which Mr. Roosevelt wrote to' Sir Harry Johnson, the British traveler and sci- entist and student of the negro ques: tion. In the letter Colonel Roosevelt, the then president, is quoted in part as follows with reference to the re- cent trouble in the black republic: “I do not think we shall intervene in Hayti. Of course we ought to, but this people of ours simply do not un- derstand how things are outside our own boundaries. “Ot course 1 do not deslre to act unless I.can get the bulk of our peo- ple to understand the situation and to back: up the action; and to do that I have to get the ‘facts vividiy before ‘them and clearly before thiem, “ “In ‘Panama,’ Cuba, Santo Domingo and Porto Rico it needed months or years of preparation before we could get our people ‘to see things: straight and'the worst of it is that the edu- cated: Northeasterners are not merely blinded, but often mzlevolently bllnd to what goes‘on: ¢ ““We ought to have 1ntertered in Venezuela again and again during the last seven years. ‘We cught to have interfered in Central ™ America and Haytl. In all three places .we. ought now. to do something of the same kind that we are doing in ‘Cuba, Santo Do- mingo or Panama, according to the exigencies of the case. But the Amer- icans simply were not alive to the sit- uation.” TO- VISIT SOUTH AND WEST Taft Cuntemplates Extended ‘Trip in the Autumn. ‘Washington, March J).—That Presi- dent Taft contemplates a general trip through: the South and West this au- tumn was indica.ted by him®when ‘he said he' would ry to dttend the:forty- ninth annual ‘éncampment of -the-'G: A.
