An injured employe shall not be

Wisconsin Senator and Representative
Sterling Of illinois Introduce Meas
ure Jointly in House and Senate.
Endorsed by Railroad Unions.

Washington, Feb. IA compre..
hensive employers liability bill was
introduced in the senate and house to-
day by Senator LaFollette Of Wiscon-
sin and Representative Sterling of
Illinois.
The authors say the bill has the en-
dorsement Of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
comotive Engineers, Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
and the Brotherhood Of Railroad
Trainmen, and is intended to meet the
recent decision Of the supreme court.
by which the employers liability act
of June II, 1906, was declared uncon-
stitutional.
Every common carrier, while en-.
gagged in Interstate commerce or for.
eign commerce or commerce between
the possessions 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 neglect or mismanagement OF
any officer or employe of such carrier
or when due to defects or INSULT ciency
in equipment. This provision Is made
equally applicable to carriers In the
territories, the District OF Columbia
and the Panama canal zone and car.
riers engaged in the transportation Of
the United States mails. IA
The bill recognizes the doctrine of
comparative negligence" as is now
recognized in the states of Wiscon-
sin, South Dakota, North Dakota, Ne.
braska, Georgia and Florida and in
the act of congress which was de-
clared unconstitutional. It permits an
employe to recover damages if he has
been guilty of contributory. negli-
gence, but says that the jury shall di-
minish the damages in accordance
with the amount Of negligence they
may find is attributable to such en-.
ployes. 6..s, ~ !, s@

It is provided also that an injured
employe shall not be held to be guilty
of contributory negligence In any case

rier contributed to such injury, also
that questions Of fact relating to neg.
ligence shall be for the jury to de-
termine. N
In the event of a verdict in favor OF
the employe, 1t is required that the
court shall allow as part Of the costs

ceeding an amount equal to 25 per

HENEY AND LANGDoN SAY AP-
PELLATE TRIBUNAL WRONG.
MADE CRIME I: /: J. LAWFUL


San Francisco, Feb. 13. LIN what is
probably one Of the most remarkable
papers ever addressed to California
court, the prosecution in the San
Francisco bribery graft cases today
filed with the supreme court petition
for a rehearing OF tM decision OF the
appellate court in which ex-Mayor
E. E. Schmidt and thb former political
boss, Abe Ruef, werd virtually held to
be guiltless Of extoAtion, the convic-
ton Of the former reversed and the
plea of guilty BY Ru4f practically null
lifted. @
The petition openly criticises the
court Of appeals for its decision, and
charges that the court BY its action
has virtually legalized crime.
The appeal is signed by United
States District Attorney Webb, F. j.
Heney, William H., Langdon, G. w.
Cobb and Joseph Dwyer.
I'VE ask for, rehearing," reads the
petition. because the decision, with
the greatest respect to the court that
rendered it and to this court is:
"One-FaN Nacious in its logic.
"Two-Devoid Of reasons to support
it.
Three Unsupported BY the author
tiles cited. 3 @
"Four-Diametrically opposed to
high authorities which we cited in our
briefs, but which are unnoticed by
the opinion"
The petition contains SS pages.

IN THE MINING DISTRICT
United States Court Requests Presi-
dent to Send Soldiers to Guard
Property and Request ls Complied
With-Five Days to Reach Scene.

Washington, Feb. 13.-By direction
Of the president Acting Secretary
Oliver today ordered a company OF
infantry from Fort Gibbon in Alaska
to Fairbanks, in that territory to pre-
serve order during the mining strike
in that section.
This action was taken up the rep
resentation from the United States
court in Alaska to the attorney gen
eral that tine presence Of federal
troops was needed. Attorney Cen
eral Boraparte promptly brought the
matter to the attention Of the presi-
dent and by his instruction afterwaru
consulted with Acting Secretary Of
War Oliver. who, through General
Bell. chief Of staff. forwarded the nee
essary order for the movement Of the
troops to the commander at Fort
Gibbon. s4 s4 ,4,
kilograms from Fairbanks to the
attorney general stated that open air
mass meetings were held. The strik.
Ing miners made threats Of violence,
and the marshal has been directed by
the attorney general to use all the
force at his command to arrest law
breakers and to prevent intimidation.
The latter has given strict. orders as
to the energetic use Of all the force
he can command. The striking miners
have picketed the trail between Val
dez and Fairbanks. Most Of the new.
ly arrived laborers are Russians.
Will Go by sleds. 5
The distance from Fort Gibbon to
Fairbanks is 1856 miles and the troops
will be. carried by sleds over the
route, which is said to be very good
one. If there is urgent necessity for
the presence Of the soldiers at Fair
banks they can get there In four or
five days. But under ordinary condi-
tions the trip takes six or seven days.
Fairbanks is in the center of a min
ing country with population OF 1000
or 5000. II
Persons in Washington familiar
with the conditions existing at Fair:
banks say the trouble is the outcome
Of q strike q year or more ago for
higher wages and shorter hours for
the miners. This the operators, how,
ever, resisted, and their determination

The nearly 10000 votes which would

Miss Keil, would take only 10 paid

The utmost care is given to count

typographical errors are apt to creep
in. Recently in the table printed in
The Gazette the figure "9'' was mis-
read for the figure Il" in the number
OF votes cast for Miss Keil, making it
appear as though mistake had been
made in addition in totalling her
vote. The table printed did not agree
with the actual vote. All votes cast
are kept on file In The Gazette Office
