The LIABILITY BILL
The Sterling Measure Passed by
ONLY ONE VOTE AGAINST

fine Bill Makes Railroads Doing An
Interstate Commerce Business Liable
For Injuries Received BY En-
pIoyes.
Washington, April z. - With only
one vote recorded against it. that Of
Mr.. Littleheld, of Maine, the house Of
representatives. under suspension Of
the rules, passed the Sterling en-
ployers' liability bill after forty min
utes' debate. In brief the bill es-
tabllshes the doctrine that the rail
road companies engaged in interstate
commerce are liable for personal in
iuries received by employees in the
service of such carriers. 1t abolishes
the strict common law rule Of liability
which bars a recovery for the personal
INJURY or death of an employee, oc-
casioned by the negligence Of a fellow
servant. It also relaxes the common
law rule which makes contributory
negligence a defense to claims for
such injuries. A provision, however.
diminishes the amount Of the recovery
in the same degree that the negligence
of the injured one contributed to the
injury. The bill further makes each
party responsible for his own negli-
gence and requires each to bear the
burden thereof.
The bill as passed by the house was
transmitted to the senate. and on
motion Of Senator DOlliver was laid
on the table subject to being called |
up at any time. Mr.. Dolliver explain |
ed that the bill is quite similar to the
measure reported to the senate from
the committee on education and labor |
Mr.. DOlliver cOntemplates asking
the senate to agree to take up the bill
at an early day He will probably
move to substitute the senate measure
for the house bill, and after the senate
acts will then leave to conferees the
task OF agreeing upon a compromise
measure.
The house bill is much more sweep
ing than the senate bill. as it applies
10 all common carriers" while the
senate bill applies only to common
carriers by railroad"

British Premier Sent His Resignation
to the King.
London, April 6.-Great Britain Is in
a peculiar position, being without
either premier or ministry. The long
expected resignation of Sir Henry
Campbell the prime minis.
ter, was officially announced. Accord.
ing to the court circular. he resigned
on the urgent recommendation of his
medical advisers. AS the constitution
Of the country provides no automatic
succession, it resting with the king to
choose a new head Of the government,
and in accordance with the custom
and precedent, the whole cabinet re-.
signs with the premier, no step to ap-
point a ministry can be taken until
Herbert H. Asquith, the chancellor OF
the exchequer, who has been sum.
moned to Biarritz for the purpose, has
seen the king. It is believed the pre-.
miership will be offered to Mr.. AS.
quith.
The position of the country is quite
unprecedented, there being no prevl.
GUS example of change occurring In
the premiership while the sovereign
was abroad On this account. the
course Of procedure to be followed is
in some doubt.
Sir Henry's condition remains un-
according to the physicians
bulletin. The king, in telegraphing his
acceptance Of the premier's resigna,
ton, conveyed an expression Of his
regret and esteem, with best wishes

God blesses all people in Christian

In the financial column of the New
York Journal of Commerce on Jan
uary 25 it was said: downtown
bankers are thinking of organizing to
support Governor Hughes for the
presidency. He is ardently supported
by Standard Oil, but he may not care
to have this fact widely advertised"
As the Journal of Commerce is the
most reliable authority on finance and
business, no doubt the information that
Governor Hughes is 'ardently SUM-
ported" by the Standard Oil trust in
duence is true. Where all the cash
came from that elected him governor
has been a disputed question. Some
said the Wall street bankers furnished
THE DOODLE" but as the Rockefeller
interests are so ardently supporting
Governor Hughes for the presidency
the same interests furnished
the bulk of, his campaign fund when
running for governor and will no
doubt try to swamp the democracy
with its millions if Governor Hughes
is the republican candidate for presi-
dent. These republican reformers
have queer connections and will bear

PERSONALITY or FRANCO.
Dictator Of Portugal, Who Fought For
Financial Reform.

| Financial Reform.
Joao Franco, who has retired from
the premiership of Portugal, where he
was practically dictator, was not i'm
posing in manner or appearance, says
the New York Post. OF middle height
spare and swarthy, sharp faced and
with black, wiry mustache, he has
the appearance of an alert provincial
attorney. Graceful and quick In his
movements, he is nicknamed 1.-THE cat.
like" He is rich--so rich that in pop
ular estimation he has been placed be-
! yond the necessity of profiting by
graft. He was born in village near
the Sierra d'Estrella and had a good
education. In parliament he was a
supporter of Hintze- Ribeiro, the late
Conservative leader, who made Fran
co the Judge Of the court of customs.
Afterward he held in succession the
portfolios of finance, public works and
interior.
Ex-Premier Franco was put into pow
er by the liberal elements In the Portn-
guese parliament. His chief idea was
to put an end to system of eorrup-
tion that had grown up under the mon
archy. He declared that the country
for years had been the football of the
monarchist parties, whose sole object
was the distribution Of graft to their
clients" Advances were made Sc
cretly from the public treasury to the
royal family. and in an arbitrary man.
ner these advances were liquidated BY
decree.
Franco pledged himself to make It
impossible In the future for the king
to obtain anything beyond the royal
allowance and TO introduce a system
of public accountability that would re-
veal The destination Of every dollar
that left the treasury. He kept his
promise. but be had to pay the back
debts Of the king. which amounted TO
a large sum and which be liquidated
by decree. In his measures he won
the support Of the king. because the
Republicans seemed to be making
