company upon the subject"
Makes It Masterpiece.

Mr.. Moon stated that his commit
tee had been "seriously impressed by
this proposed legislation. and we are
giving Il tn most careful considera-
ton"
MIR. SABBATH, the author OF the bill,
has been working on the idea TOT
number OF years and has carried on a
general propaganda in its favor. He
announced at a recent hearing on his
bill that when II was enacted nto
law he was ready to retire from pub
lie life, satisfied with his achieve
ments.
The bill Is applicable to railroads
and steamships engaged in interstate
or foreign commerce and any com
pany engaged in any capacity in hand
ling the mails OF the United states,
Even the United States government
would be bound under its terme to
nav compensation to its employees In
the postal service injured or killed IN
the performance of their duties.
Into Minute Details.
I'm the event of the death OF an
employe as a result OF injuries, em-
plcyers would be requested to pay an
nuity equalllng 10 per cent of his
average monthly earnings to his fam
nv or next to kin. Fifty per cent OF
the employees maximum earnings
would be paid in case of total disabil'
lity not exceeding six months. But
beyond this time the injured employs
would receiv two-thirds of the
amount OF his earnings during tbs
period of impairment.
The measure goes into the min
utest detail in regulating the pay
ment for injuries, specifying how
much shall be paid for the loss OF al
eve. an arm, finger, a toe, loss o
Impairment of sight, hearing or simi
lar injury, and including medical
surgical and hospital treatment. Tn
loss of a toe Is fixed at per cent
the loss OF both eyes at 10 per cent
the loss OF the right hand at go pc
lcent.
The bill would establish a court I
be known as the federal eommissio
of injury awards, and to consist c
three members TO be appointed b
the president at salaries of 5000
per year each, with full authority I
inquire into and prosecute claims an
to employ necessary assistants.

WOMAN DIES MYSTERI0USLY
Found Dead in Back Court Twenty
five Minutes After Entering
House-Negro Held.

New York.-Twenty-fve minutes
after she entered the side door of
the new Cliff Haven apartment house,
at One Hundred and Fourteenth
street and Riverside drive, a young
woman whose identity has not yet
been established was found dead In
narrow court in the rear of the
house. Although the woman had
been roughly handled she bore no
injury to which her death could be
directly traceable. That she had been
attacked, there was no doubt, and
the police attribute her death to a
weak heart which gave way under
the shock of the struggle with her
assailant.
Clarence Holcomb, negro who
was doing night duty in the apart
ment house at the time of the
woman's death, is under arrest on
suspicion Of having attacked her. He
denies that he had any hand in her
death

ARE DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Towns of Graceton, Williams, Swt'

Out by Forest Fires.

St. Paul.-According TO adNices
received here the towns OF GraCeton,
Williams, Swift and Roosevelt
Mimi, on the Canadian Northern
railway, near the international
boundary line, were destroyed by
forest fire.
All are small towns, and so far
10 loss of life has been reported
There were twenty-five buildings in
Graceton. About 100 people are re-
ported homeless and the where
abouts of many are not known.
The residents of Graceton, where
not building was left standing,
were taken to Williams, and then to
Roosevelt, by the Canadian North
crn, but when the latter towns
burned it is not known what became
of them.
All available men are fighting the
fires, but they seem to be making
little Roadway. Only a drenching
rain can stop the spread of the
flames.

The Code Of the Air.

The rapid progress Of the art OF
aerial navigation has turned atten'
rion TO the necessity OF establishing a
law Of the road for aeroplanes as
soon as experience shall have shown
what its main provisions should be.
Already, say those who are most inter
csted in such legislation at least one
source az ayoidable danger has been
discovered Several recent accidents
have shown that one aeroplane can
not safely pass close above another,
for the currents produced are liable
TO cause the under machine to break
from control and plunge downward. II
was in this way that the aeronaut
Rawlinson, at Nice. suddenly found
himself plunged into the sea. A rival
flyer had. uunoticed by him, passed
over his head He did not discover
until later what had caused his sud
den mishap In another case an aero.
plane, flying over another which was
rolling across the ground preparatory
to fight, was overturned by the cur
rent from the passing machine

Staunton. Disregard of the train
dispatcher's orders and a sharp bend
in the track which hid two on-rush-
ing trolley cars from each other were
responsible for the most appalling
wreck In the history of the electric
railroads OF Illinois.
Twenty-eight people were instant

hospital and another IS not expected
to live, and twenty-six other people
sustained more or less serious injury.
The wreck was on the lines Of
the Illinois Traction system two
miles north of this place at Dicker-
sons curve. Dense foliage grows on
the inner side of the curve and 1t is
impossible to see for any distance
ahead.
Both cars, moving at fully forty
miles an hour, approached this curve
from opposite directions, tearing
along on a down grade. The mo-
tormen did not discern the danger
until the cars We're too close to
avoid an accident, and barely es-
capped death by jumping.
Both cars were demolished and
the dead. dying and injured were
piled in a bloody mass, while the
screams OF the manned and bleeding
added horror to the scene.

Fox Lake.--Dr. William Hecker
of Watseka, H., has been wholly alb
solved from all charges connected
with the drowning of his wife in
Fox lake on Aug. 20.
Justice William Mcconnell de-
clared that the evidence introduced
by the state at the preliminary hear
ing was not sufficient to bind Dr..
Hecker over for trial, and he declared
him free.
DR.. Hecker will return to his Hi
nois home, from which he came vol
unfairly to the hearing.
DR.. and Mrs. Hecker spent their
summers at Fox Lake. On the morn
ing of Aug. 90, Mrs. Hecker, while
fishing with her husband, fell from
the boat and was drowned before the
physician could reach her. The state
found witnesses, who told of circum-
stances which brought up question
of whether the drowning was accl-
dental. The witnesses, however,
failed to support their charges at the
preliminary hearing, and as a result
Dr.. Hecker was cleared.

ment of the result of his trip before

climbed Mount Mckinley in April

Prof Parker said that he had been
closer to the summit than any pre-

seryations which he was enabled to
make there, the story of the Lloyd
party's achievement was manifestlX
a fabrication. Prof. Parker traversed
the entire route DR.. Frederick a.

disastrous fires which Fond du Lac
has suffered since the big fire that
laid two churches, garage and two

spread over the ceiling of each floor.
Owing to the fumes arising from
the scorching cheese the fremen
found it difficult TO fight the names.
