1t is the bill introduced by Representa-
tive SABBATH of Illinois, which will require
all persons carrying on occupations and
trades subject to the regulative power of
congress including railroads, express
companies and sleeping car companies
to pay compensation on fixed basis 10
injured employees. The legislation, if en-
acted, would OYeTturn the present en-
ployers' liability law, and, in fact, revo-
lutionize the existing system Of indem-
nifty for personal injuries.
The bill defines the amount of compen-
satiOn to be paid by employers to en-
ployes. in cases of injury or death, basing
il upon the amount OF the previous earn
ing power Of the victim, and provided
that it shall be paid in the form OF an
annuity.
Based on Foreign Laws.
The bill is based upon the laws of Eng
land and Germany. Such legislation was
favored iu one Of the messages Of for
mer President Roosevelt. and President
Taft also is said TO have commented IA
vOTably upon it.

DROWNED BEYOND DOUBT
No Hope That Second Mate of the
Farallon and the Men With Him
Will Be Heard From.

Seattle, Feb. 6.-Little hope is enter
tanned among shipping men familiar with
the north that the five men who went
with Second Mate Gus Swanson to seek
aid for the shipwrecked passengers and
crew OF the steamer FarallOn will be
heard from again.
At the time that Swanson and his crew
left the camp q fearful storm was raging
and the water was full of ice flOes. The
latest news from kokiak, the destina-
ton OF the men in the lifebOat was re-
ceived January % At that time thew
had been out seventeen DAYS and had
not been seen. Besides Second Mate
Swanson, there we're in the boat two
seamen, Charles Peterson and Otto Mel
son, and three passengers, Captain Wed
ding and Edward Bailey Of the launch
Sea Wolf, and Charles Bourne, a lands
man.
The steamship Victoria, which effected
the rescue OF the FarailOn survivors from
their camp on Hanna bay on the TWEEN
ty-eighth day after the shipwreck, is on
the way to Seattle and should arrive
here Thursday or Friday.
Frank Z. Burns, manager of the Alaska
Steamship company, owners of the
wrecked vessel, believes that there is a

telegraphed TO government officials al
Washington, D. c., tonight asking that
the revenue cutter Rush, which is sta

search for the missing men. If the gov
ernment does not send a revenue cutter
on the quest the Alaska Steamship COM
pany will send the steamer Yucatan on a
special cruise of the waters in the Vicin-
ity of Kodiak island TO search for the lost
mariners.

VESSEL BURNED At SEA
Probably the George F. Phillips of
SeafOrd, Del.-Nothing Known
of Fate of Crew.

Washington, Feb. "a vessel on fire
and abandoned at sea was reported to-
day by wireless telegraph to the naval
photographic office The wireless mes
sage came from a merchant vessel, whose
call signal is w" by the name of
which is not listed.
The message, in effect, was that the
merchantmen had passed a green schoon-
er with blackboard and white stern, with
yellow stripe, on fire at sea. in latitude
1926 north, longitude 1910 west. Her name,
in black letters. appeared to be George
f. Phillips, Delaware" Her boats were
gone and nobody was aboard. A high
sea was running al the time The tele-
gram was signed Davis

schooner was the George z. Phillips of

WIFE Is FRUSTRATED
OVER SUDDEN DEATH

C;rief-stricken and carrying her D.
mCnths-Old son in her arms at the Critch-
low apartments last night, Mrs. r. Prev
lit Coleman. whose husband was killed in
dynamite explosion on the road between
Kelvin and tine Ray copper mines in ATi-
iona yesterday afternoon, mourned him
so COnvulsiveiy that she had to be given
medical attention to prevent complete
pTOstratiOn-
r Prewitt Coleman, who met his death
with five other comrades near the big
Arizona mine, when dynamite exploded
on small railroad line over which he
was travelling, was one of the most trust
ed mining engineers in the employ Of
Henry Krumb of Nos. 420-4Y Mccormick
building He is the son of Robert j.
Coleman of Los Angeles, one of the fore
most mining engineers of the Samuel
NeWhOUSe interests, and came to Salt
Lake from Denver four years ago to join
Henry Krumb after he had been gradu-
ated from the Colorado School Of Mines
as one of the most promising mining en-
gineers of his class.
Two weeks ago Coleman was detailed
from the office of Henry krumb TO make
an important investigation of progress
and construction Of the mines about Ray.
The mission was one on which Coleman
had intended to make his reputation in
the mining world. He had equipped him
self with material with which to make
the examination of various properties and
also make personal studies of new ideas
which had attracted his attention since
his active practice as "a mining engineer
in Salt Lake.
Coleman had selected Salt Lake as his
home, as he was often heard to say that
it would become the unrivaled mining city
of the world and that he desired to spend
a long life in such a city. He was even
more enthusiastic over his profession than
mis- successful father. Marrying in this
city. he settled down in handsome apart
ments at the Critchlow, and five m5nths
ago was favored with a son, whom he
had idoliZed.
I can't bear to think that my husband
has been snatched from me so suddenly,
moaned Mrs. Coleman last night. 1T
doesn't seem possible
Coleman was born in Baltimore, Md,
thirty years ago. He had been interested
in mining almost since bOyhOOd and when
his parents moved to Colorado he pre-
pared himself for the Colorado School of
Mines where his progress was rapid.

, dietary committee. analyses the bill in a
letter which he has sent to officials Of
leading railroads. Mr.. Moon says, in
part;
You will observe this bill, both by its
title and its scope aims at the entire
overthrow of the existing principles Of
law respecting the liability Of common
carriers engaged in interstate commerce
and in the carrying of the mails to their
employees for acts of negligence resulting
i'm injury or death.
1t eliminates entirely all common law
or statutory defenses based upon the
principles of conUibutory or comparative
negligence, the existing doctrine of neg
ligence of cO-emplOyes and of risk Of
employment and subjects the common
carrier to fixed and definite liability for
injury or death to employees without re-
gard to the negligence Of the defendant

for common law liability and makes this
compensation a distinct element of
operating expenses.
