EMPLOYERS LIABILITY III

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BIII"-With
only one vote recorded against it. that
of Mr.. Littlefield of Maine. the house
of representatives yesterday under
suspension of the rules passed the
Sterling employers liability bill, af-
ter forty minutes debate. In brief,
the bill establishes the doctrine that
the railroad companies engaged in in
terState commerce are liable for per-
sonal injuries received by employees i'm
the service of such carriers. 1t abol-
iShes the strict common law rule of
liability which bars Il recovery for the
personal injury or death of an en-
plOye. OccaSiOned by the negligence of
u fellow servant. 1t also rrlaXcS the
common law rule which makes con-
tributOly negligence defense TO
claims for such injuries. \ provision,
however. diminishes the amount OF
the recovery i'm the same degree that
the negligence of the injured one con-
tributed to the injury. The bill fur
ther makes each party responsible for
his own negligence, and requires each
10 bear the burden thereof. truce
between the Democrats and Republi-
cans was declared for a time yester-
day when under a suspension of the
rules the house took up the employ
rrS' liability bill.

ris of the tribe Of Catawba Indians,
whose reservation is situated about
ten miles from this city, accompanied
by second Chief John Brown and
Braves Sam Blue and Ben Harris,
were in Charlotte Thursday on busi-
ness connected with a suit which the
tribe is to bring against the state Of
South Carolina for land. which the
Indians claim, is theirs by right of
treaty with the United States. The
own consists of 1000 acres lying
la York and Lancaster counties, and
has several towns on it, among them
being Rock Hill. The value of these
lands at the present day is several
million dollars. The Catawba tribe,
which lays claim to this land num-
bers 200, about 100 of which live in
South Carolina. The chief went be-
fore L. S. Commissioner Cobb and eX-
ecuted a contract with an attorney in
Washington who is TO prosecute the
claim before the department for
them. Chief Harris. who is an intelli-
gent man of about 35 years Of age,
said that i'm 1850 the state made a
treaty with the tribe to buy land in
North Carolina in place Of the lands
claimed in South Carolina or pay the
tribe its value. But" said the chief,
this treaty has never been carried out,
and I am now trying to secure justice
for my people"

Kansas Crop Report.

Agriculture yesterday issued : re
port Of the States growing winter
wheat, as follows.
Tie winter wheat area of Kan
sas for 1907 was 7.O5l 1872 acres.
or the largest ever recorded. Last
November the Boards correspo1-
dents estimated the'area sown for
the 1908 .crop less BY about one
per: cent, and apDroximatiup
6.97S,32 acres. OF this it is now
reported that2.4 per cent probably
will be plowed up, leaving 6,Sl1.-
800 acres standing. or an area
ranking second largest, and its
present condition averages Ola
for.the State. 100 representing a
good average stand and satisfac-
tory condition All the counties
credited with conditions of 100 or
above are in the eastern three
tiers, except Harper. which has an
average of los. the his Con-
siderable damage is reported in
extreme western and northwestern
counties; from these are returned
the largest areas likely to be
plowed up. and there, too, the out
look is least promising. Where
damage is reported 1t is ascribed
chiefly to dry weather and the
winds blowing out the wheat. al
though in 81 of the States 1O5
counties none is reported aban-
doned.

in possibly a dozen counties. make
mild mention Of the Hessian fly,
while reference to the so called

and the presence of the chinch
bug is suspected by but one re.
porter.
1t is interesting to note that 81
counties. each having 100000
acres or over Of growing wheat,
and aggregating 4.014,661 acres
