No defense can be made by a
company that employs children
under IA years in a damage suit
growing out of injury to the child
in such employment, and the only
question to be determined is the
amount of damages, according to a
ruling by Judge Clifford yesterday.
The opinion of the court was
given in the case of Nick Glucina,
minor, against the F. H, Goss
Brick company for $4,000 dam
ages for loss of a couple of fin
gers and injury to his hand in a
machine at the plant at Ruston.
The judge ruled that it is up
to the employer to know whether
the child is IA or not, and if the
child is not IA the employer takes
all the risk as he Is violating the
law in employing him. Misrepre-
sentation of the age by the boy or
parents in order to get work is no
excuse for the employer, the court
holds.

MAD HOUSE FOR
GIRL BROKEN
IN HEALTH
Plea for Reconsideration
Not Allowed by Judge

Inc Feu tape OF the court is
vindicated.
Miss Amelia Romano, appar-
emily perfectly sane, refined
young woman of Seattle, must go
to Mount Tabor asylum, must be
branded as a lunatic, must have
her life ruined and amid the
wild-eyed and bowling of the mad
she may, too, succumb-but the
law is vindicated.
So hurrah! let the bells ring
and the bands play and the whis-
ties blow; a promising life may
pay with living death, but the
law is upheld and legal technicali-
ties have made good.
Amelia Romano is the daugh-
ter of Antonio Romano of Seat
tie, well-to-do and intelligent.
The young lady went to Nome
five years ago to live with a sis
ter. Last year her sister and
three children took sick. Amelia
nursed them. Day and night for
week after week and month after
month she tended to them and
beat back the deadly fever that
was reaching for the lives of her
loved ones.
At last as convalescence came
to the sick the strain told and
the faithful nurse collapsed in
nervous breakdown. She was as
such cases generally are, for a
time irrational. In this crisis
the court interviewed and declared
her insane and she was placed in
charge of Marshal Wynkoop with
commitment papers for Mount
Tabor asylum in oregon.
Marshal Says She's Sane
Under the care of the marshal
she at once improved, and before
half way down by boat showed
recovery. Three days she has
been in Seattle and among friends
and has entirely recovered. Mar
shal Wynkoop says she is as sane
as he is.
But he had that commitment
and was compelled to take her to
the asylum unless stopped. Gen
eral Metcalf started habeas cor
pus proceedings in the federal
court here. Judge Donworth
heard the case yesterday after
noon.
General Metcalf related the
story. He only asked the court
to put the girl on the stand and
for himself see as to her sanity.
He begged that she be not sent
to an asylum where mingling
with the mad might drive her in
her convalescent. state to the
same condition.
The court had the power to in
terfere, he said.
General Metcaf even pointed
out a slight irregularity in the
commitment.
1t offered an excuse for inter
fering in the name of justice.
The judge sympathized, he
said, with the situation, but dis
missed the case.
The girl might be sane, but she
must go to the asylum because
the court here hesitated to take
up a case another court had pass
ed on.
He refused to hear any testi-
mony, refused to hear the girl,
who was in the courtroom, and
ordered her on to the asylum
not because she was crazy, but
because some other court had said
she had been so, and the court
here did not want to disturb the
official red tape until it was all
unwound.
Today Amelia Romano, per
fectly sane her friends and the
officer in charge of her say, is
in the crazy house in Oregon un-
less the doctor at the head of it
refused to accept her.
But court technicalities are up
held.
And the red tape is unwound.

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The Spanish
caldron of revolt is seething to-
day to the very brim, and, in spite
of the official denials of the gov
ernment detailed to censor news
dispatches, kilograms, and even
private letters, revolutionary
movement of the greatest magni-
.tude in the history of the penin-
sula is sweeping the Bourbon
monarchy.
A force of 10000 soldiers has
been added to the garrison at
Madrid alone. The garrison at
Barcelona and at Sabadel also
have been augmented by the pick
of the loyalist troops.
Every telegram and letter that
leaves Saragossa and Sabadel is
censored and the portions adverse
to the royalist cause or favoring
the revolutiopists is expunged.
Assassination Rumored.
Among the reports reaching the
French frontier during the night
was that of the assassination of
King Alfonso, and the flight of
members of the royal family from
Madrid. The London newspapers
this morning declare that the ru-
NOR cannot be confirmed at the
present time. This alone indi-
Gates the disturbed condition of
Alfonso's realm.
The general feeling in London
is that an alarming situation has
arisen in Spain and that the Span
ish government itself is aghast at
the consequences of the first clash
between the people and ths
chrome.

Job carries with it similar evidence of being historical,' l. e., evidence similar to that presented by the Book of Genesis. I think that this is, in the main, true of the introductory chapter, in which the facts constituting the basis of the book are narrated; but IL is obvious that much the larger part of the Book of Job is poetry, and this poetry must be inter- preted according to the general laws of poetic composition.

 The ancient Hebrews have left us in the Psalms some of the finest lyrics in the world and Book of Job contains the finest didactic poetry I ever read. But the Hebrews had no theatres, and they wrote no "dramas.'
