pared for interment and the morning
OF the third day after her supposed
death the remains were laid to rest
In the family vault in the graveyard
OF Stratford, Va.
While the sexton was cleaning up
ana arranging some fresh flowers to
be placed on the casket, he heard a
faint voice as though of some one
calling for ass 'stance. He listened
closely and the voice was distinctly
heard again

Lee was alive. Within short time

buried alive her youngest son, Robert
E.. was born, and thus came into the
world one of her brayest men and

Jackson, Ky, March S.-The trial of

James Hargis, the noted leader OF the
Hargis faction of the Hargis-Cockrill
feud. was called in the circuit court
here Monday before Judge j. P. Ad-
ans. The patricide appeared uncon-
cerned. He depends implicitly upon
the love of his mother to get aim
free, and she has employed the best
counsel to be had and will be present
in court with him.
Young Hargis receives $50, 900 from
his fathers estate. his mother $4,000
and his sister, Mrs. Evelyn bogg, $780,
900. All this will be spent if neces-
sary, to save the boys life. 1t is de
clared. The town of Jackson is crowd
ed with mountaineers. many of whom
have figured conspicuously in feuds
during the past decade. When the
common wealth announced its readi-
ness to proceed with the trial, the de-
tense asked for a continuance. Today
the cases against John Abner and
John Smith, charged with the murder
of DR.. D. B. Cox during the Hargis
feud reign, were called here.

INDIANA HAS AN
INTEREST IN BILL
Controversy in Senate Over
Constitutional Employers
Liability Bill.
TWO BILLS PRESENTED.
AS A GENERAL RULE, HOWEVER,
LABOR LEADERS LIKE THE LA
TOILETTE MEASURE BETTER
THAN THE KNOX BILL.

Washington, March 5-Tndiana and
her organized labor centers will watch
with interest the curious controversy
in the Senate over the question of
as a constitutional employers liabili-
ty bill The issue is raised by Sena-
tor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, and Sen
ator Knox, of Pennsylvania, and two
committees, oddly enough, are strug-
Cling with the problem.
The day following the decision of
the United States Supreme Court
that the liability act applying to COM
mon carriers passed by Congress last
year, was unconstitutional, another
bill was introduced by Senator Knox.
He had anticipated the decision of the
Supreme Court and prepared his bill
in advance, and it is understood that
it is in line with the recommendation
in the presidents annual message,
that the defects in the old liability
law should be cured by new legisla-
ton. This bill may be supposed to
express the concessions to which the
employers will submit.
Wishes Of the Employees.
A month later Senator LaFollette
introduced another railroad liability
bill, and this, in turn, as it is sup
ported by the railroad unions through
out the country, may be taken to ex-
press the wishes of the employees. In
the opinion of its opponents, it would
re-enact the identical provisions to
which the Supreme Court objected;
but La Toilette is a man Of ability,
and the issue is being urged by him
with vigor. The Knox bill went to
the committee on the judiciary, and is
being considered by a subcommittee
of which Senator Knox is chairman
while the La Toilette bill experienced
the unusual procedure of being sent
to the committee on education and la
| Dor, of which Senator Dolliver is
| chairman. Hearings by both commit
tees are now in progress.
Leaves 1t to the Jury.
Each bill abolishes the doctrine, dis
carded in 1882, which prevented the
recovery of damages when the per
son receiving and causing the injury
! worked for the same employer. Each
abolishes the rule of contributOry neg
ligence and establishes the principle
of proportionate negligence, which al
lows the jury to assess damages pro
portionate to the relative negligence
of the employer, his agent and the
injured employee. Each puts no limit
on the damages recoverable.
But there they part company. The
LaFollette bill puts all power into the
hands of the jury. The Knox bill re
serves to the court the right to SUI
pervise the verdict and set it aside II
the damages are disproportionate to
the negligence. There is manifest
wish among the labor organizations
who are now having their innings, to
limit the power Of the courts.
