His Elevation Is Sad Blow to
Irish Home Rule at
This Time
Also Means Many Changes in
Cabinet and General
Shake Up

Washington, D. g., April 6.-With
only one vote recorded against it,
that Of Mr.. Littlefield of Maine, the
house today under suspension of the
rules passed the Sterling employers
liability bill, after forty minutes de-
bate.
The bill establishes the doctrine
I. that railroad companies engaged in
Interstate commerce are liable for
personal injuries received by en-
ployes in the service. It abolishes
the strice common law rule of liabil-
ity which bars recovery for personal
injury or death of an employee, oc-
casioned by the Negligence of fell
low servant. AS it now is the COM
mon law makes contributory negleg-
ence defense to claims for such
injury.
Provisions, however, diminishes
the amount Of recovery in the same
degree that the negligence of the in
jured one contributed to the injury.
The bill further makes such party
responsible for his own negligence
and requires each to bear the bur-
den thereof.
The bill as passed by the house
was transmitted to the senate later
in the day and on motion Of Senator
Dolliver was laid on the table sub
ject to being called upon at any time.
Mr.. Dolliver explained that the bill
is quite similar to the measure re-
ported to the senate from the COM
mittee on education and labor.
Mr.. Dolliver contemplated asking
the senate to agree to take up the
bill at an early date. He will prob
obly move to substitute the senate
measure for the house bill and after
the senate acts will then leave to the
conference the act of agreeing upon
compromise measure.
The house bill is much more
sweeping than the senate bill as it
applies to all common carriers
while the senate bill applies only to
common carriers by the railroad"

TEXAS FURNISHES
odd COURT CASE
HUSBAND SUES FATHER-iN-LAW
FOR WlFE's WAGES, THOUGH
SHE HAS LEFT HIM.

San Antonio, Texas, April 6.-(Spe-
the right to sue for money earned by
his wife, although she has separated
from HIM, is the Interpretation placed
upon the decision of the fourth court
of appeals in the case Of Phillip Mi.
chael against S. Rabe. The plaintiff
alleges that his wife, who is the
daughter of the defendant, his been
serving the said defendant as clerk
and saleswoman in 1904 and 1905
and he sued for 100 a month for the
IA months of this service.
The plaintiffs wife filed a plea of
Intervention, alleging that she had not
lived with her husband since July,
1905, and that she did not intend to
live with him again. The lower court
instructed the jury to bring in a YER
dict for the defendant. The court of
appeals today reversed the case and
remanded 1t for new trial.
Under the laws of the state of Texas,
a wife may file complaint with tn;
county authorities for non-support and
the state will prosecute for her. If he
has no money or property on which
to get judgment he is put to work on
the county roads and the state pays
his wife reasonable wage for his
services. This case apparently estab
fishes a reverse precedent, and seem
ingly offers an opening for lazy me1
to marry industrious women who vii
support them in style to which the.
| are not accustomed.
