burg
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 13-American
coin collectors are much interested in
the coming auction of coins and medals
of North, Central and South America,
gathered by George Ulex of Hamburg,
which will be held al Frankfort-on-th
Main. Germany. on May II, catalogues
of which have been received here.
Mr. UleX, one of the great conti-
mental coin collectors, is we'll remem-
bered in this country through the sale
of his American gold coins in this city,
when numerous American gold coins of
great rarity brought record premiums.
One of the interesting brass coins to
be sold is what is supposed to have
been the first coin issued in America.
which is ascribed to Sir Walter Raj
eigh's unsuccessful attempt in 1854 to
establish colony on the coast of
North Carolina. on the diverse side
of the piece is a full-grown rose, upon
a stem with tN', leaves, and around the
border the quaint inscriptions:
"As soone as we begune we did be-
gin to bee undonn."
The reverse side was a boy clinging,
his elbow resting on a large skull, at
his feet a rose growing; behind him
house with three cables. This coin Is
a little larger than half dollar and of
great rarity.
The collection to be sold embraces
447O lots of tokens and medals, many
of which have not yet been offered for
sale, and it is practically conceded
they are Spanish coins that supplied a
circulating medium in the greater part
of the new world.

LAND FRAUD DEFENSE
TRIES TO BAR EVIDENCE
Statute of Limitations Is Urged in
Conspiracy Case Now on
Trial in WASH
ington
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The trial
of Frederick A. Hyde, John A. Benson,
Henry Z. Dimond and Joseph Il.
Schneider, who are charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the government out
of valuable lands, is punctuated with
numerous objections from the attorneys
for the defendants to evidence which
the government is endeavoring to in
troduce
The principal objections made to
testimony thus far has been that the
alleged illegal acts in regard to which
witnesses have testified occurred more
than three years prior to the finding
of the indictment in 1904 and are there
fore barred by the statute of limita-
tons.
While United States District Attor-
ney Baker has secured the admission
of the evidence thus far, a hard legal
battle is expected when the final ar
guments will be heard on the motion
to strike out all evidence of this char
acter.
The witnesses today were George c.
Brown of the Oregon land office, Thom-
as McCusker of Portland, Ore, and
Don Alexander.

PRESIDENT SIGNS
LIABILITY BILL
EMPLOYERS HELD RESP0N-
SIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS
MEASURE APPLIES TO INTER-
STATE CARRIERS
On Receiving Report of Attorney Gen.
On Receiving Report of Attorney GEN.
eral Roosevelt Affixes His Name
to important Piece of
Legislation
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-President
Roosevelt today signed the employers
liability bill, upon receiving an opinion
from Attorney General Bonaparte that
the measure was constitutional.
The bill makes railroads or other
common carriers, while engaged in IN
terstate commerce, liable for the injury
or death of an employe If the injury or
death results in whole or in part from
the negligence of any of the officers,
agents or employees of such carriers, or
by reason of any defect or insufficiency
in equipment. This provision is made
applicable to carriers in the territories,
the District of Columbia, the Panama
canal zone and other possessions of the
United Staes.
1t is provided that in any action
brought under the provisions of the Dill
the injured employe shall not be held
to have assumed the risk of his employ
ment in any case where the violation
by carriers of any statute enacted for
safety of employees contributed to the
injury or death of the employe. Any
contract, rule, regulation or device TO
enable the carrier to exempt itself from
liability under the act is rendered void
by a specific declaration to that end.
provision is Tndue, HoWeNel' liot thS
carrier shall receive credit for any con-
tribution made to the employe or his
family in the form of insurance, relief,
benefit or indemnity.
An action for the recovery of dam
ages must be commenced within two
years from the date of the cause of the
suit.
In his opinion the attorney general
indicates that the bill is confined In It's
scope to common carriers by railroad
as distinguished from the act declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.
which embraces "all common carriers
engaged in Interstate and foreign com
merce." The attorney general then
shows through court decisions and in
terpretations that this restriction does
NOT make this act repugnant to the
constitution, but is in line with state
statutes which have been upheld in the
highest tribunals.
