THE LIABILITY Law
Great Northern Railroad In.
tends to Make a Test
Of It.
CASE VERY INTERESTING

Spokane, Wash, May 15.-Counsel
for the Great Northern Railway COM
pany have served notice that it will
test the employers liability law. 1t is
contended that the act is unconstitu-
tional in that it holds railway COM
pany responsible for he acts of it's Off
GERS whether or not they are in rela-
ton to interstate commerce. The test
case will be made of an action of Jyn-
taro Temura, a Japanese laborer, who
was awarded judgment for 81. $50 in
suit for $1,000. Temura and other Ia
borers were unloading rails from a car.
His fellow workers let go of the rail
without warning him and his thumbs
were cut off when the rail struck the
pile. The company was represented
at the hearing and asked the court to
direct verdict in its favor on the
ground that the injured man was not
engaged in interstate commerce, and
that the act of congress of 1908 is un-
constitutional. Judge William E. HUI
neke overruled the motion, saying the
question would have to be taken be-
fore the supreme court for a ruling on
the constitutionality of the act. which
makes a railway company liable for
injuries to an employee, regardless al
the decisions of court and statutes re
lating to fellow servants.

Boston. Mass. May 15.-Four police
officers Of Station No. 5 delved to the
bottom of a supposed murder mystery
in the cellar of the house at No. 3
Wentworth place, South End. a few
nights ago.
Picks and shovels were employed
and blisters were raised. but the bod
les of the victims failed to materialize.
Instead the officers learned that
dreams of buried treasure had SO
worked upon the minds of occupants
of the house that they had burrOwed
for gold ingots, silver bricks and
chests filled with bullion. Nocturnal
hours had been employed in the quest
SO it was small wonder that other
parties living in the house who discov-
cred the grave diggers" notified the
police and brought on the fiasco.
Believe in Dreams.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott Pratt, who live
! at No. Wentworth place, apparently
believe In dreams. say the police.
They are negroes and when Mrs. Pratt
recently dreamed three nights run
ming that there was treasure buried
in the cellar Of their abiding place
Mr.. Pratt decided to investigate. The
couple called in the Rev Mr. Gordon.
of the negro Baptist church In order
that he might participate In the good
things which were to accrue.
The little party went to work In the
cellar and dug a trench ten feet long.
four feet wide and eight feet deep.
While they were at work the sound
of the implements reached the ears
of George Walker. who also lives In
the house. Walker went to the cellar,
moving stealthily, and saw the trench
and the workers without their noting
his appearance. Visions of foul MUIR
der entered his mind, and he inform
ed the police.
