LIABILITY OF EMPLOYERS.
BIZ introduced In Congress to Protect
Railway Workers.

Washington.-A comprehensive EN-.
ployers' liability bill has been intro
duced in the Senate and House by Sen
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin, and Rep
resentative Sterling of Illinois
The authors say the bill has the
Endorsement of the Brotherhood of Lo.
comotive Engineers, brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Gngnemen
and brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
and is intended to meet the recent de
cision of the Supreme Court, by which
the employers liability act Of June IL,
1906, was declared unconstitutional.
Every common carrier, while en-
gagged in interstate or foreign com
merce, or commerce between the pos
sessions of the United States, is made
liable to its employees who are injured
while employed in such commerce,
when such injuries are due to the negli-
gence or mismanagement of any Of
ficer or employe of such carrier. or
when due to defects or insuflicienCics
In equipment.
This provision is made equally ap
plicable to carriers in the territories,
the District of Columbia and the Pan
ANA canal zone. and carriers engaged
In the transportation of United States
mails.
The bill recognizes the doctrine OF
comparative negligence" as 1t is now
recognized in the states of Wisconsin,
South Dakota, North Dakota, Ne
braska. Nevada. Georgia and Florida,
and in the act of Congress which was
declared unconstitutional.
1t permits an employe to recover
damages II he has been guilty of con.
tributory negligence, but says the jury
shall diminish the damages In accord
ance with the amount of negligence
they may find is attributable to such
employe.
1t is provided that an injured en-
pIoye shall not be held to be guilty OF
contribu:ory negligence in any case
where the violation of the law by the
carrier contributed to such injury;
also that questions of fact relating 10
negligence shall be for the jury to de
termine.
In the event of verdict in favor OF
the employe. 1t is required that the
court shall allow as n part of the costs
n reasonable attorneys fee, not exceed
ing an amount equal to twenty-threc
per cent. Of judgment recovered, and an
additional fee equal to FIVE per cent. OF
the amount finally recovered for each
appeal.
An injured employe shall not be held
to have assumed the risk Of his EN-.
ployment in any case where the viola
tion OF !aw by the carrier contributed
TO such injury. One section Of the bill
specifically makes void any contract,
rule or device whatsoever. the purpose
Of which is to exempt the carrier from
liability urder the act. The statute OF
limitations within which sui; can be
brought is fixed at three years.

RACE AROUND THE WORLD.
Six Automobiles Start In Race From
New York to Paris.

New York.-The six automobiles
contesting in the New York to Paris
race started from Times square,
Forty-second street and Broadway, at
11:15 a. m. Wednesday. cheered by y
throng of several thousand people.
Accompanied by more than 200 motors
OF all descriptions, the racing ma
chimes made their way up Broadway
and Riverside drive to the city limits,
where they turned north on the road
to Albany.
From that city the route to San
Francisco, which is the objective point
of the first stage OF the trip, lies across
New York state to Buffalo, thence
through Cleveland and Toledo TO Chi
cagO, to Omaha, Cheyenne, Ogden,
Reno, Goldheld, San Luis Obispo and
San Francisco. Mayor Mcclellan was
to have given the word to start, but
was delayed and Colgate Hoyt of the
Automobile Club of America took his
place.
All traffic in the neighborhood OF
Times square was stopped half hour
before the start. Automobiles clogged
the intersecting streets and lined the
route for many blocks up Broadway.
No such aggregation of machines has
been seen in or about New York since
the last Vanderbilt cup race was run,
A band in the official grandstand
played the anthems of the nations as
the cars lined up for the start. A
pistol shot sent the contestants away
amid the cheering of the people and
the hoarse hooting OF hundreds Of au-
tomobile horns.
The contesting cars are the queerest
looking machines ever devised for
motoring purposes With their heavy
equipment for stores and camp uten-
sils, several of them were modern
representation of the old prairie
schooner. One resembled a hook and
ladder truck with long running boards
on either side, equipped with axes,
shovels, ropes, and a dozen other ar
ticles.
Three French cars, one German, one
Italian and one American started in
the race. Three men constituted the
crews Of the foreign machines, but
there were only two In the American
car. The three French cars are steered

own nation and that OF the United
States. They were plentifully decor
ated with signs and placards so there
could be no MISLEADING their Identity
wherever seen. The buildings sur
rounding Times square were decorated
with flags and bunting and the start
was quite spectacular.

PUSH BALLASTING WORK.

Special to Evening Teller.
Steunenberg, Ida, Aug. 27.-The
railroad track was laid into Steun-
enberg from Vollmer yesterday. and
within a few days the ballast beds
will be reached and the company
will commence ballasting the track
from Reubens to this place. The
tracklaying was commenced at the
south end OF the Lawyers canyon
bridge about 10 days ago. and since
that time seven miles OF rails have
been put down.
The company will place four work
trains at distributing the ballast
and will complete this feature of the
work between Vol'mer and Raubens
as soon as possible. The ballasting
crews will follow closely after the
trackIayers across the prairie to
Grangevil'e and will have the road
ready for operation shortly after the
rails are laid into that place.

SCHOOL CLAIMS
LICENSE MONEY
TRUSTEES OF INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY DE.
MAND $4,000 FROM CITY UN-
DER OPERATION OF LICENSE
LAW.

Members of the Lewiston inde-
pendent school district have started
an investigation to ascertain why
the city of Lewiston has not paid
to the school district the per cent
of the saloon licenses as provided
by law.
The investigation has jjust COM
nenced and the board of directors
Is not yet prepared to staate just
what the rights of the district are
in the matter but believe the state
law will govern in the Lewiston in
dependent district the same as In
other districts The county is trun-
ing over to the school district that
portion of the license money paid
irto the county for saloons operated
within the boundaries of the school
district and 1t is believed the city
will be compelled to do likewise.
1t is estimated the city will owe
the school district approximately
$4,000 for license money collected
since the law was enacted and
which has w. been turned over.
The matter will be thoroughly in
vestigated within the next few
days, and 1t is probably matter
that will come before the school
board at the meeting Saturday
night.

During the past few weeks fac

relative to Mr.. Hastings candidacy.
The Nez Perce county delegation
will go to Boise not only instructed
for Mr.. Hastings but also for Hey

have suggested the delegates who
will appear on proxies do not feel

DAMAGE IS LIGHT,

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 27.--Augusta
today is rapidly recovering from the
worst flood in its history. The wa
ter in the streets this afternoon has
fallen, and the sidewalks are prac-
tically clear. Considering the fact
that eight feet of water ran through
the main business and residence dis
tricts and telegraph and telephone
communication was stopped and no
trains ran within a mile of Augusta
for 4S hours, 1t is remarkable that
there has not been greater finan-
cal damage and loss of life.
The Associated Press established
headquarters eight miles from the
city while the water was pouring
through the streets. preventing the
publication of newspapers. At noon
Augusta dispatches stated the water
was falling at the rate of an inch an
hour and all danger is past
So far as known three persons
were drowned. Reports of numer-
Gus capsizing Of boats in the current
are received. but not verified. Two
fires occurred in the flooded district,

AFFINITY WOULD
NURSE her BABY
BECAUSE EARLE's WIFE INSIST.
ED ON THIS MATERNAL DUTY,
-. HE STRUCK HER, BUT NOW
HE'S SORRY.

Rome. N. Y. Aug. 27.-The trou-
BILE between Ferdinand Pitney Earle
and his r"soul mate" wife, Julia
Kuttner Earle. which landed the
artist in Jail on charge OF wife
beating, gave promise today Of an
early adjustment. .t4
Both Earle and his wife are said
to be desirous of a reconciliation.
Earle, who at first appeared to be
opposed to any movement having
for it's object his release from jail,
was said to be in a different mood
today. He passed a sleepless night
in Jail at Goshen and was constant
ly watched by guard. who feared
he would attempt to end his life.
Today he broke down completely,
wept and declared that he would at
tempt to gain his wife's forgiveness.
1t was after the news Of Earle )
change in demeanor that his wife
expressed willingness to overlook
the treatment which resulted in her
husbands arrest. The trouble be-
tween the couple arose because
Ear'e had forbidden his wife to
nurse their baby.
Application was made in Middle
ton today for bail for Earle, and
County Judge Boyce fixed the
amount at $1,000.
