cjdent,

VOuT men are INJURED IN AC'
cident.
Minneapolis, Sept. II. - Four men
were injured, one PROBABLY fatally, In
a peculiar auto accident in Kenwood
parkway last night. George Miller,
living at 95 Eleventh street south, was
the man who was most seriously in
jured. His scalp was tori off and he
was hurt about the back. The ply
stefan who attended him at the time
of the accident said he probably
would not survive his injuries. John
Boutell and a young man named Kelly
were also injured. According to the
story told by Boutell and Kelly they
do not know who the man driving the
machine was, nor who his companion
was. Boutell said they were sitting
in front of Lowry's place in First av-
enue when the men drove up in a big
auto and asked them to take a ride.
They got in and went for a spin
around the Lake Of Isles. Coming
down Kenwood at the rate of about
forty miles an hour they crashed into
the Peavey fountain at Kenwood and
Twenty-irst street. The big machine
was practically demolished and left
standing beside the road.

experience last night when he re-
turned to his home after having sold

VALUE or LiFE.

A NEW JERSEY COURT has decid-

is worth only half as much as the life
of a boy, and a great controversy Is
raging as a result The decision was
handed down in am accident case i'm
which q bow and a girl were killed.
Their parents brought suits for dam
ages. fixing The amount in both cases
al the same sum. The court allowed
$500 for She boy and $3.008 for the
girH.
From the standpoint Of cold business,
if we can speak OF cold business in the
same sentence with human life. the
court was right The earning power
of the average boy is vastly greater
thsn that OF the average girl. on that
basis the life OF a boy is more valuable
5hau the life of a girl And that is
the only basis on which the court could

AT THEIR own RISK.

HE SUPREME COURT of the Unit
/ ed States. by a bare majority, has
decided. adversely to the plaintiff, a
unique fellow servant case. A Iocomo-
tive fireman was killed in am accident
that resulted from the carelessness Of
train dispatcher. His sister dled a
suit for damages and recovered a judg-
ment in the lower court. On successive
appeals the case finally reached the
supreme court. the defendant contend
ing that it was not liable because the
fireman was killed through the laches
of a fellow servant
This view has been upheld by the SUI
preme court. The majority. and of
course the ruling. opinion declares that
the possibility of careiessuess on the
part OF dispatcher is a risk that
every operating railroad man assumes
and that he well knows he assumes it
when he accepts employment ON a rail-
road. In a dissenting opinion, delivered
by Justice White, and c3ncurred I'm By
Justices Harlan and MCKeHua and
Chief Justice Fuller, it was held that
the dispatcher was the agent of the
employer and the employer was there
fore. liable.
The dissenting opinion declared, fur
Their. that the majority decision would
create endless confusion. On the face
of things it does seem terribly unfair to
refuse compensation i'm this case The
fireman knew. of course, that the dis
patcher might make a mistake. He
knew. too. that 81 such a mistake
should be made he might be killed.
And suu he continued at work up to
the time he was killed But there is
little justice i'm a decision that eXempts
the company from the payment Of
damages to the dead mans relatives
The dispatcher was superior in posi-
ton and authority to the fireman. The
latter was subject TO his orders. If the
fireman had taken AN engine and run
it against the orders Of the dispatcher
and if. while so engaged, he had been
killed. it is easy TO see why his rela-
dives should not Doe given damages.
This was not the case. however The
fireman was running under orders from
a superior officer ana The superior, as
agent Of the company, was responsible
for his death And through its agent
the company was responsible.
Under this ruling if a railroad super
intendens should order an employe
into particularly dangerous place
and If the employe should be killed. the
company would not be liable for dam
ages So the same decision can be
stretched 10 apply in an almost ia
definite number Of cases. no wonder
tho. minority of the supreme court de-
clared that it would create endless
confusion
