DOCTOR NOW DEAD ‘Deceased Physicians Opinion OF- fered at Compensation Hearing { ONE COMPLAINT WITHDRAWN Insurance Company Claims Rogers I Now Able.to Work—He Don't Think So—Only Onc Property Owner Iie- fore Relief Board—Other Matters. Dr. M. S. Evidenge’ adduced An- y | derson, who died recently, concerning B the physical condition of Frank 3. Rogers, was presented to Compensa- tion Commissioner George B. Chan- dler yesterday when the question as to whether Rogers is still partially in- capacitated and entitled to pay, un- | der the employers’ liability act, frors the High Rock Mountain Orchards | company, came up for consideration. Dr. Anderson ha been among the | physicians to give Rogers treatment and yesterday Dr. J. C. Purney, ap- pearing for the claimant, offered as cvidence in his behalf a letter writ- ten by the deceased practitioner and an X-ray photograph which the lat- ter had made. Rogers was injured while working for the Orchard company, on August 31, 1915, but a week after he had en- tercd their employ. Subsequently an agreement was made whereby the | company agreed to pay him $6 a week rrom September 17, 1915, until he had recovered. The insurance company, which pro- tects the owners of the orchard from claims of this character, now sets forth that Rogers is physically fit artd | should no longer be entitled to cora- pensation. Dr. Anderson’s opinion of Rogers’ injuries differed to some extent from that of Dr. J. C. Tanner, who was also called into the case, and who testified yesterday. According to the dead physician’s testimony, as given through Dr. Purney, the claimant had two fractured ribs. Dr. Tanner main- tained that the bones had not been broken. and he pointed to Dr. Ander- son's X-ray photograph to prove that { there was no evidence of a fracture. Another physician, who examined the plate, gave as his opinion that the rils were not fractured. After taking the evidence tn the case Commissioner Chandled an- nounced that he would reserved deci- sion. 4 But One Complaint.

No Opposition Expected. No opposition, at least from local sources, is expected to be offered to the selectmen’s petif§on to the legis- lature for the establishing of building lines here.

(Correspondence of the Hermannsiadt, Transylvania, Feb. 2.—Tucked away among the foot- hills of the Transylvanian mountains almost on the border of Rumania, Hermannstadt was hardly ever heard of before the war, but with the con- | tinuance of the campalgn against Ru- | mania it has leaped into prominence as a sort of “way station” for officers and men on their way to the front, and it is gradually achleving the char- acter of a real metropolis. The influx of business which hun- dreds and thousands of soldiers and their officers have brought has jolted | the town into a wide-awake state that has first of all manifested itself in an unprecedented soaring of prices. Hermannstadt stands near the head of the famous Red Tower Pass, and being essentially German in charac- ter, it is so to speak the first really “oivilized” spot as one comes out of the mountains and offers creature comforts which especially appeal to him who has been marooned for any length of time in the uncouth towns and villages of Rumania, The electric light plant that the Rumanians destroyed has been put in order again, the Broadway is hardly brighter at night than in Hermann- stadt now. The sleepy and formerly little frequently streets fairly teem with life, and it is a 1beral education in merchandizing to watch the canny storekeepers keep abreast-of the times in selling their antiquated but never- theless desirable stocks. Placarded prices have disappeared from the window: nd the price of anything is generally just what the purchaser looks as if he were able ar willing to pay.
