National Civic Federation Legal
Committee Will Soon
Announce Plan.
1T is BASED ON ENGLISH LAW
Employer VIII be liable for Every
Accident Regardless OF Qucs-
uon2or Negligence.

New York, Oct. 12.-The legal commit
tee OF the National Civic federation.
which has been Mt work for some time
drafting tentative compensation plan
for uniform state Legislation as n sub
stitute for the present liability laws,
announces that 1t will soon submit its
plan to the commissioners on uniform
state laws In the IS states and terri
tories ana to n subcommittee on COM
pensation appointed by the American
Bar association as we'll as to the exec
utive committee of the various bar
associations to obtain their opinions
upon Its constitutionality in their re-
apect,ye states.
The federations committee has been
at work under the direction of the com
pensation department OF the federation,
which Is composed OF employers. rep
resent1tlve labor men, attorneys who
have given special consideration to the
subject. insurance experts, economists,
state officials. members of state COM
pensation commissions and others. rep
rcsenting in all 30 states. 1t is hoped
by thus giving all interests hearing;
to reduce to the minimum opposition
to bill which will be prepared for
uniform legislation in all the states.
BILL EXPLAINED.
In explaining the scope of the bill
now being considered by the commit
tee. the chairman, p. Tecumseh Sher-
man, says in a statement today:
"The foundation for the plan en-
bodied in the tentative draft of the
bill is the English compensation laws.
The continental laws may be better
in some respects, bu. they are not so
easily adaptable to our Industrial con-
ditlons here. a,

the best path by which We In Amer
lca,, can make the beginning to com
pensate workmen for accidents. The
English law has extended liability foi
compensation practically to all er1.
ployments. AS a first step we have
suggested that we go only halfway.
"According to the scheme. the em
ployer will be liable for PRACTICAL!
every accident, regardless Of the ques
tion OF negligence, except where tn
emp,oye has been guilty of deliberat
| self-injury, or refusing or falling &c

er words, negligence Of a fellow seryt
ant or anyone else could not be Imputed

employer would be liable for cornpen

GOV. CLARK ON OPENING
ALASKA COAL FIELDS

Juneau, Alaska, Oct. 12.-Gov. Walter
E. Clark, who has returned from 10
day tour OF Alaska, said today that In
his annual report to the president he
would make recommendations concern
Ing tho opening of the great coal fields
of the territory. 1t Is understood that
he favors leasing the land, but he de-
fclIned to outline his plan further than
to say that 1t provided for protection
of the people against the coal falling
into tho hands OF monopolies.
The governor said:
Alaska Is entirely capable OF sup
porting n large permanent population.
but more liberal treatment by the fed
,eral government is absolutely necessary
to the development of the territory.
The Alaska coal Mt the present rate
OF consumption on the Pacific coast,
Would last the coast 5000. years or more.
The coal that Alaska Is now burning Is
imported largely from foreign countries

STILL BRINGING!
FORTH THE DEAD.
Rescuers in the starkviIIe, Colo,
Mine Discover Eleven
More Bodies

No Trouble With Air-Belief Stronger
That Explosion Originated in
Old Workings.

Starkville, Colo, Oct l2.-The discov-
cry OF eleven bodies and the approach
to within 400 feet of entries of X 1 and
9, where IA others are believed to have
been working, was the gratifying news
brought from the Starkville mine this
morning BY the wearied force of night
workers.
All night long the huge fans contin1
ued to force back the poisonous gases
in the old workings.
Nearly half n hundred rescuers push
ed through the main entrances and
cross-cuts. exploring all side chambers,
and Just before relief arrived came ups
on the bodies of Wilbert Headauist,
Thomas Upperdine and one unidenti-
fed man In II l.
After receiving reports from the
night men, officials expressed the opin-
ion that before nightfall rescuers would
be able to penetrate the UNEMPLOYED
workings and locate the remainder OF
the missing.
Although cncouterinS nanfalls and
distractions, the night force succeeded
In exploring a large portion of the old
workings and by devious ways came to
within a few hundred feet of the ma
sorry wall which shuts off the Engle-
vile mine. No trouble was experienced
with the air, the only delay coming
from the mass of rocks and shattered
timbcrs which in places often almost
filled the passageways.
Every energy Is being directed TO the
speedy removal OF the bodies.
Evidences discovered during the night
strengthen the officials in the belief
that the explosion originated In the
old workings. from which 1t Travelled
| in all directions, penetrated every cor
ner of the mine. and that the men were
killed by its force, rather than by art
er-damp.

brought to her.
POLICE ON SCENE.
Lieut.. Richard Shannon and Dctcc-
tive Earl Ripley with George Moore
and a mounted officer were first on the
scene. Lieutenant Shannon conducted
n thorough investigation. He devcl-
opcd the fact that the family had lately
had Il man working for them doing
some cleaning. A Mr.. Rhodes, con-
ncctcd With the Vacuum Cleaning COM
pany sent the man. He had worked
there for several days. The police are
on his trail. &
BLoODHOUNDs ON TRAIL.
Whoever shot young <artick to death
was a bad man. He took no chances
and must have opened fire on the boy
the minute he was discovered. He
went out the back door leaving 1t open
and large footprints In the soft earth
show that he was II large man and
wore old shoes. The bloodhounds from
the state prison are to be called in to
try and trace the man by scent.
The murdcrous burglar evidently
knew that the Karrick family were
away from home during the early mid
/ die part of the day. He had evidently
gone over the ground and knew it well.
He entered the house through IL cellar
window, his footprints showing on the
coal pile in the basement
SHOT GUN MISSING.
SB. II. Howell, a lawyer with Van Colt,
Allison a. Ritter boards with the kar-
ricks. He has u room across the hall
from the room of Louis. Nothing there
was molested. The room otSLouis and
Tom both were hauled out and every
thing gone over. One shot gun Is miss
ing, it is said, and may possibly fur

the weapon which the burglar used
was in n suit case in his room when
he left home this morning. The burglar
when he heard young Karrick come
into the home must have grabbed 1t
and started to get away.
PLUCKY BOY.
Young Tom Karrick was known
among his fellows at school as u very
plucky chap. He would fight at the
drop OF the hat when he was In tho
right, it is said. Though only ii years
of age lie was large and strongly
1nuscled. Flo feared nothing, 1t Is
said. Whether he was either surprised
as he sat at his lunch or ran upstairs
quickly it is evident he tackled the
man who was there. That a struggle
followed is shown by his clothing. The
bullet wound through his wrist shows
that he reached for the revolver.
THE LAST CRUEL SHOT.
Lieutenant Shannon says that the
bullet hole In the wall convinccs him
of the bloodthirstiness Of the murderer.
He evidently shot young Karrick for
the fourth time as he stood against
the wall on the landing with the bull
| let wound in his heart and his life blood
| ebbing 10 the floor.
An elderly neIehbor says he saw 4
large man in the back yard this morn

found who saw young Karrick enter
the home. No one saw the man as he
escaped. No pistol shots We're heard
by the ineighbors. This seems strange

weapon Of large caliber.
