Extensive preparations are being
made at Georgetown for the annual
gridiron struggle with the University OF
North Carolina, which begins on George

aims is to defeat Georgetown.

HOUSE ARRESTS
LOBBYIST
Employers Liability Law Passes
House

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 23-The much
vexed subject OF the employers liza
bility law again occupied the atten-
ton of the house yesterday. The
senate bill prepared by the two com.
mittees on immigration and labor was
taken up and passed with amendments.
One of these relates to the effect of
contTibutory negligence. The bill
as it came from the senate did not
admit of recovery of damages under
such conditions. 1t was amended to
permit recovery, the degree of negli-
gence being taken into consideration
by the jury in determining the amount
Of damages. The limit for death was
raised from $4,000 to 1880.
In debate in committee of the
whole before the amendment was
adopted McCracken said no measure
could be introduced to more thor
ouuRhly "him-ham'' the laborers of
the state. He sal that it was worse
than common law which Of itself was
bad enough. II was a limited en-
ployers' liability bill In that It made
1t necessary for the injured to prove
that the specified agents or other en-
ployes had been guilty Of negligence,
and that if the company showed that
some other employe had been respon-
sible the case would fail. It would
fail If there was any negligence shown
on the part Of the injured one.

he had stood, do not put on the sta

it stood. He read from the republic

II is we'll known by the pioneers Of
the country that the Occur d'Alene
Indians have long avoided the lake,
saying that 1t is forbidden ground,
and only in the past few years have
any of that tribe approached the lake.
IL is supposed that the effect Of the
teachings of the DeSmet mission have

to- this legend, many years ago, when
the country was still very wild and
free from invasion by the whites, the
vicinity of the lake was one Of the
best hunting grounds In the northwest.
The legend is that at the south end
Of Hayden lake, there was whirlpool
caused by an underground outlet
which emptied into the spo
