Shep- pard, of Fairfield, Neb, was drowned in the Missouri at Wjllston, N. D., last Beptember while making soundings with an engineering party d¥ thg government, under direction of Major Schults of the engineer corps. After great effort the body was re- covared at an expense of $40, the father of the deceased giving as reward $200 for the recovery of the body. The matter was brougpt to the attention of Senator Brown, who advised that a claim be filed under the Mabllity act of 1908, which provides that an “artisan or laborer” may recover damages —or At least their next of kin can—for in- Juries sustalned. It appgars that young Sheppard was engaged in surveying and would have in a day or two been appointed s a surveyor. When this matter came up before the solicitor for the Department of Commerce and Labor the claim was turned down on the ground that the deceased was nelther an “artisan or a laborer." Prob- ably on the theory that young Sheppard was a professional man, surveying being recognized as one of the professions. Sen- ator Brown does not agree with the solic- ftor of ‘the Department of Commerce and Labor in his conolusions and insists that the case should be reopened on the ground that the young man who lost his life in the government service while making sound- ings ‘et Williston came within the purview of the statute, and so strongly has he pre- sented the case that the department today decided to reopen it for further hearing.

In the adjoining box were Harry Payne ‘Whitney, the polo player and sportsman, and a majority of the visiting British Hurlingame polo players.

Lower Jaw of Calf Supplied * to Man’s Face Transfer Made to California Farmer Bmu’e of Injuries from Mad Bull. LOS ANGELES, April 16—A new oral surgery department of the Los Angeles county hopital was inaugurated today with an unprecedented. operation, which supplied John Schilheimer, a Long Beach rancher, with part of a calf’s lower jaw to replace maxilliary bones that were destroyed when & bull gored the man and butted him in the face last November. Dr. Carl Deichmiller, who performed the operation, first picked out a sheep to sup- ply the needed portion of the lower jaw, but Schellheimer, who had ordered the bull slain immediately after it had gored him, carried his revenge on to the offending animal's offspring. He could not talk, but made his wish known with pencil and paper. Let the sin of the father be on the son,” he wrote. “Klill the Jersey calf.” The calf was slain this morning, an hour before the operation, and the living cells in the calf bone are expected to knit with those of the human. Three hours later Schilheimer emerged from the influence of the anesthetic with everything under the flesh of his chin made of calf and his face bound in & cast. In two months it is expected he will be tully recovered and able to eat solld food. Bee Want Ads Are Business Boosters, PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS C.'N. Dietz has returned to Omaha after a trip to New York.
