Mine Operator Cannot Escape Liza
bility for Violation of Law.-Where a
mine operator violates a law requir-
ing certain things to be done in mine
for the protection OF the miners, he
cannot defend against an action for
injuries on the ground that the miner
was guilty of contributory negligence;
and such owner cannot delegate his
duty regarding such protection by del
egating the performance to another,
and is liable in the event that his sub
ordinates to whom he has delegated
such duties are negligent. The Spring

why the Bank Failed.

Berlin, July l5.-Tne ruin of the Leip-
siger bank that failed about a year ago
for nearly 2O0OOO.OOO marks was wrought
by the fascinating personality OF Adolph
Schmidt, according to the testimony given
at the three weeks trial of the banks di-
rectors, now nearing an end. The Trebor-
trocknung grain drying) company OF
Cassel, a concern exploiting on an enor-
nous scale process for drying beer dregs
and cattle feed, persuaded the bank 10
advance, during number of years. sums
of money aggregating SO,O00,000 marks.
Every member of the apparently wen
meaning board of directors, when exam
ined before the jury, admitted that this
colossal business mistake was indefensible
upon sound commercial principles. New
ertheless they consented because Schmidt
made them believe in the amazing posi-
bilities and profits of the process. Schmidt
is described as having quiet manner ana
simple way of expressing himself in ornate
language. He talks with a calm air Of
conviction and seems to have believed
completely in himself. He is now in Jail
awaiting examination.

London July 14.-The fact of the
resignation of the premiership of Great
Britain by Lord Salisbury, as fore
Swallowed in the dispatches of the
Associated Press, has been officially
given out. The prime minister laid
down the responsibility of his office
July II.
Within "a hours his majesty ele-
waited A. j. Balfour, the governments
chief representative in the house of
commons, to the position of premier.
While it was expected in political
and commercial circles that Lord Sal
isburys retirement would be coinci-
dent with the coronation of King Ed
ward, it was scarcely looked for prior
10 that event. Consequently about the
only surprise expressed at the news
spread through London concerned the
date rather than the fact of the res
ignation The real interest was not
so much in reference to Lord Sails
burys withdrawal as it was in the APP
pointment of his successor.
The liveliest speculation is rife as
/ to the personnel of the new cabinet.
The most discussed feature of the
pending changes is the position of
Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secre-
tary, who in many quarters has been
regarded as the most promising candi-
date for the premiership A represen-
tative of the Associated Press learn
ed that before the acceptance of his
new Office Mr. Balfour first had an
interview with MIR. Chamberlain ana
then counseled with his other cabinet
associates. This is regarded as as
surance that the future relative posi-
tons of Messrs. Balfour and Chamber
lain will be satisfactory to both.
Mr. Chamberlain friends say he
always recognized the reversion of the
premiership to be Mr.. Balfour's right
as government leader in the house of
commons.
AS to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason is considered by prac-
tically all of the best informed per-
sons to have been a desire for quiet
life on the part of a man advanced in
years. who's activities have been unus-
ual and whose scientific tastes predis-
, pose him to- study and seclusion.
That the retiring premier's health has
failed to some extent is undeniable.
, but this is not more than perhaps to
+ be expected in man of his years, and
the close of the war in South Africa
y and the return of the commanding
general are considered to be appro-
pirate to his withdrawal.

Will Not Accept Nomination for Judge

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 5.-Hon. John NJ
Redmond has declined to accept the
nomination rendered him for one of the
three judges of the Eighteenth judicial
district convention, which WAS held in
Cedar Rapids last week. His declina-
ton, which is said to be final, has been
forwarded to the central committee of
the district and is now in it's hands and
upon which Will devolve the duty of
filling the vacancy. Mr. Redmond says
he got out of office last spring 70? the
purpose of avoiding official responsible
ity and to give him some measure of
opportunity of attending to his pri-
waite business. 1t appears that the con-
Nenuon did not fully understand that
he would decline to accept the nomina-
ton If rendered him. Doubtless a meet
ing of the central committee will be
called in day or two to consider the
matter of filling the vacancy created by
his declination.
