LIABILITY LAW is BAD
HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Federal Court in Kentucky Hands
Down an Opinion in Case Against
the Southern Pacific.
Publishers Press. ]

Louisville, Ky, Dec 31.-Judge Wal
ter Evans in the federal court declared
the employers liability act unconsti-
tutional. The decision was given in
the case of the administrator OF n. c.
Brooks versus the Southern Pacific
railroad and is believed TO be the first
decision handed down in connection
With this act.
The alleged cause of action occur
red in Kansas. Husband of plaintiff
was killed in a railroad accident and
suit was brought under this act for
$4,000 damages and an amount suffi-
cient to cover the cost OF expenses in
cident to death.
The court holds in brief that the act
in effect would regulate commerce
within the state as well as interstate
commerce, and is therefore unconsti-
tutional, and the demurrer of the
Southern Pacific railway to the action
for damages was sustained.
In sustaining the demurrer Judge
Evans said that from every point of
view the judgment of the court must
be that the plaintiff has not manifest
ed by the averments OF her petition
any right to recover

CHICAGO POLICE
MAY FEEL SHAKE
Report Due Soon May Result
In Wholesale Changes
Among Officers.
Y. M. C. A. INVESTIGATION.
FROM OTHER CITIES
HAVE BEEN NOSiNG AROUND
AND 1T is EXPECTED REVEAL
TIONS WILL BE SENSATIONAL.

Chicago, Dec. 3l.-A report OF police
conditions in Chicago similar to that
with which Captain Alexander Piper
electrified the New York department
two years ago, is being prepared by
Investigations for the Young Mems
Christian association. As result, the
police department is threatened with
a shake up.
From statements made by one of the
investigators the nature of the unified
charges became known. The alleged
inefficiency of the department and it's
connection with vice form the ground
work of the report.
Detectives brought in from other
cities have been working in Chicago
for the association more than month
and no suspicion of their presence in
the city leaked out. The work was
confined principally to the south and
north sides, with some investigation of
the downtown districts, particularly
disorderly hotels.
The startling feature of the report
promises to be an expose of the First
ward levee syndicate, leading up from
police noninterference and regular
graft to the divekeeper and politicians
who head it.
