WISE Ruling OF
ENGLISH COURT
EMPLOYERS NOT EXEMPT FROM
LIABILITY BECAUSE LA5oRlNc
MANS CONDITION MAY CON-
TRIBUTE TO ACCIDENT WHICH
PROVES FATAL.

National Labor Tribune: Inasmuch
as employers liability Is being incor-
porated in varying degrees in the laws
Of the United States and of the various
state governments, American working
men are naturally interested in all legal
cases arising out of the workingmen's
compensation laws of other countries.
An important case has just been de-
cided under the workmen's compensa-
ton act in Great Britain. Under that
act 1t must be proved that a workers
injuries have been caused by an acct
dent arising out of and in the course Of
the employment. The decision we have
mentioned was rendered by the Brit
ish court of appeal an hinged on the
question what constitutes an accident
within the meaning of the act. The
case was a suit for damages for death
from heart disease through the effect
of strain. A workman suffered from
a serious aneurism of the aorta. He
was engaged in tightening a nut with
a spanner in a shipbuilding works,
when he suddenly fell backward and
almost Immediately died. The widow
claimed compensation. AT the hearing
before the county judge it was proved
that the aneurism was in so advanced
a condition that 1T might have burst at
any time, and that very slight strain
might have had that effect.
The judge found as a fact that the
exertion of tightening the nut had
caused a rupture to which death was
due, and that the death was caused by
IA strain arising out of the ordinary
work of the deceased operating upon
a condition of body which was such
as to render the strain fatal. He,
therefore, held that there had bee:' an
accident within the meaning of the
act, and made an award of compensa-
ltionE The employers appealed. The
court ef appeal dismissed the appeal.
IT, held that the weakness which pre-
disposed the deceased to the injury
which brought about death was Inn
material; that he had sustained an in
jury in the reasonable and ordinary
discharge Of his duties, and that his
death was the result of an accident
within the meaning of the law. The
decision will doubtless have it's due
weight as a precedent in the decision
of parallel cases arising under Ameri-
can statutes.

APPALLING RECORD
DREADFUL STORY TOLD BY Ex-
HIBITIoN AT ST. PAUL, PUT ON
BY FEDERATION or LABOR
SHOW WAS COMPLETE AND
STRIKING.

Minnesota Union Advocate: From
many points of view the anti-tubercu-
losis exhibit now in progress in Fed
GRAFTON hall in this city has been a
matter of very great Importance. The
exercises in connection with the ex-
hibit have been full of interest, 80 far.
and they have undoubtedly contributed
a great deal of weighty information for
the benefit of those who have attended
them.
The exhibit, which has been loaned
by the state board Of health, is one of
the best and most complete that has
anywhere been made. It shows the
ravages of the dread disease at all
stages of it's progress, and makes clear
to the understanding Of any ordinary
intelligence many methods of proven
tion and cure in its first conditions be-
fore it gets Roadway. The appliances
for the benefit of patients in sanatoria
are shown in miniature, with the meth
DDS of using them. and graphic stere-
opticon views, explained by a compe-
tent lecturer, add greatly to the general
enlightenment on the subject.
Expert takers, who have made an
scientific way, and leading members of
some of the St Paul unions and other
labor organizations, who have wit
messed its ravages among the workers
of this and other communities. have
discussed the whole subject in lumi-
nous and profitable addresses each
evening with decided benefit to their
hearers. In these addresses compare
tive statistics have been freely given
and the logical deductions from the
figures have been clearly set forth. The
work of the various institutions in
treating the scourge has been detailed
fully and at length, and on the whole
a vast fund of highly useful knowledge
has been furnished on every phase of
this most hurtful of all diseases and
the most effective manner of combat
ing it's destructive force

Hardest to Crush, Heat Does Not Affect Them and They Absorb but Little Water-To Discuss

Some weeks ago The Star contained an article relative tC a new brick made here, by fire less process patented by A. Car son of this city. More recently further tests have been made by J. l.. Gates, who bought of MT Carson his brick land, aud who, with others, is expecting to put ia a plant in Mena. These tests, made under the direction of ex- perts in Kansas City, covered three points. A Mena brick aud one of the best made by the old methods were placed together and pressure applied. The Mena product crushed the other to a powder, and remained unhrokeu. 1t was then heated to a white heat and thrown into a tub of water. and was not even cracked. Next a test as to the absorption Was made. It was found that a Mena brick ab' sorbed but 1 1 per cent its weight in water. while the others soaked up p per cent.

LOT FRAUD SUITS
 AGAINST HASKELL
One Thousand Acres of Land in Nus kogee, Scheduled By Dummies, Will Revert to Greek
 Nation.

MusKogee, Ok, May S.-Fed. eral Judge Campbell here today overruled the demurrers of the defendants in the so-called Mott civil Creek Indian land suits, in- v)lving millions of dollars worth of Muskogee town lots, broug hi by the government against Gov ernor Haskell and other promi- rent Oklahomans.
 The judges ruling practically decided the cases on their merits against the defendants.
 These suits were brought by the United States government for the Creek Indian nation to recover for the tribe Muskogee town lots, aggregating one thous- and acres of land and alleged to have been obtained bY Governor Haskell and other defendants by the fraudulent scheduling of dummies"
 Out of these scandals grew the coming prosecution against Gov ernor Haskell and six others for which they were once indicted These indictments were quashed at Tulsa recently; but a second grand jury has been called to meet in that city on Monday to re-investigate the charges.
 The decision of Judge Camp bell created great consternation here. Not only are Governor Haskell and his associates in- volved in charges of fraud, but about fifteen hundged subsequent purchasers of lots are vitally interested.
 Jud,.e Campbell announced however, that all innocent pur- chasers would be protected.

DOCTORS ARRANGE
 SCHEDULE OF PRICES
Polk County Medical Society Will, Fur thermore Have Delinquent List," and Those Thereon Had Bet
 ter Not Get Sick.

The following report was fur nished The Star by Dr. F. A. Lee, secretary of the Polk County Medical Association, and will give valuable information to the people of Mena and Polk county:
 As previously mentioned in he Star, the Polk County Med ical Society held it's monthly meeting in tue City Hall on the 8th inst, and among other things passed upon by the meeting was a fee bill, which will be in effect after June 1, 1909, and is as follows:
 RATES FOR SERVICES:
 For all day visits in the city $2. For all night visits in the city, $3. For all office consultations, with pre-
 scription or medicine, $1 and up. Consultation at bedside with other
 doctor, $10
 Obstetrics, $l5 and up.
 The fees regulating charges for surgical work was deferred until the next regular meeting in June.
 The society further adopted a clause in their bylaws wherein each and every member agrees that no physician who IS a mem Der of this society will under any conditions consult with a mid wife. and that all members will refuse to attend any case wherein midwife has been previously called to attend the case, except fee of $25 or more be forth coming.
 The Society is keeping step with the other Medical Societies of the country, and is arranging what is known as "The Delin- quent List, !" aud this list will be furnished to each of the mem Ders every month in order that all the doctors may be kept wise to the fellows who has one physi- clan do his practice until some payment IS demanded on the bill, and then switches to the other doctor until things eliminate like wise. Too much of this has been practiced on the doctors of Polk county already, but owing to the strong organization now existing among the physicians, and which organization is growing stronger each day, this kind of work is about over.
 The laitv is at liberty, as they always have been, to have who- soever they wish as their doctor, but if they wish him to come promptly when they need him, i they had better not get derelict in the payment for his services.
 These actions do not apply tc the good responsible, honest folks of the country and city, and there are very many of this class in Polk county, but 1t is made and entered into for the sole purpose of protecting the doctor against the dead beat class that has nc intention of paying any bill any where until they are forced to- and this class had better not fal sick iu Polk county if they wish the attentions of physician un less they can show just cause fol their failure to pay their preyiou: | doctor bill.
