LIABILITY
IF EMPLOYE IS KILLED HE GETS
70 PER CENT. ANNUITY.
Scale of Damages for Loss of Eye,
Arm, Finger, Toe, Etc, Pro-
vided in the Bill.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the most radi-
cal pieces of proposed legislation before
the present Congress and one which here
tofore has not occupied any great
amount of attention, is now being given
serious consideration by the judiciary
cOmittee of the house.
1t is the bill introduced by Represen-
tative SABBATH (Dem.) of Illinois, which
would require all corporations, carry
ing on occupations and trades subject
to the regulative power of Congress-"
including railroads, express companies
and sleeping car companies, to pay COM
pensation on fixed basis to injured en-
ployes. The legislation, if enacted,
would overturn the present employers
liability law, and, in fact, revolutionize
the existing system of indemnity for
personal injuries.
The bill defines the amount of COM
pensation to be paid by employers to
employees, in cases of n injury or death,
basing it upon the amount of the pre-
vious earning power of the victim, and
provides that it shall be paid in the
form of an annuity. The bill is based
upon the existing law of England and
Germany. Such a law was favored in
one of the messages of former President
Roosevelt, and President Taft is also
said to have commented favorably upon
it.
The measure goes into the minutest
detail in regulating the payment for in
j%uries, specifying how much shall be
paid for the loss of an eye, an arm, a
a toe, loss or impairment of sight,
hearing or similar injury, and including
medical, surgical and hospital treat
ment. The loss of a toe is fixed at S
Per cent. The loss of both eyes at rs
per cent, the loss of the right hand at
60 per cent.

New York's Coolest Day.

New York.-The coolest day of the
year in New York came and went be-
tween sunrise and sunset Monday. At
daybreak the thermometer registered but
two above zero, with a searching wind
from the northwest, but at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon the mercury began to mount
and the wind to moderate, and at 8
o'clock Monday night the temperature
was Is above, and at 10 o'clock 30 above
and still rising. There was great suffer-
ing among the poor in the worst pinch
of the cold and many cases of frost bite
and exhaustion were reported.

RICH MAN IN STATION CELL
Arrested With Woman Suspected of
Dipping Him.

Fittsburg.-James L. Matthews, who
gave his age as 72 years and evidently
a rich man, spent all night in a cell at
the central police station on the charge
of being a suspicious character. In an
other cell was a beautiful young woman
who gave her name as Elizabeth Morgan
of Woodcock, Pa, % years old. Mat
thews and the girl were both arrested in
an apartment. The police say they had
noticed Matthews going about with the
young woman, and hearing that he was
a man of means, feared the girl was hold
ing him up for money, and so took them
both in charge.
When brought to tie police station
Matthews was searched, and a roll of
81, 900 fell out of one of the pockets and
few loose hundreds out of the other
corners.
In a book in his inside pocket was
found a certificate of deposit for $780,
900, another for $1,000 and a third fer
$40, 900, each of recent date and issued
by a Pittsburg bank.

FIRES DESTROY 1,1449 LIVES
Too Many Frame Buildings in the
United States.

Washington.-Fire levies upon Ameri.
cans each year an normou tax, calculat-
ed by United States government officials
at almost a million and a half dollars a
day, and LAO lives a year. AS a result
of an investigation just concluded by gov
eminent officials of the United States
geological survey, it has been ascertained
cheaper fireproof materials can be
used to advantage in construction, that
three to six times the necessary amount
of material is habitually used in struc-
tural work in the United States, that the
building codes are laxly enforced, that
the fire loss in the United States is eight
times as much per capita as in any coun-
try in Europe, and that the great fire
waste in the United States is due princi-
pally to the performance of frame build
ings and to defective construction and
equipment.

LAYMEN MEET AT MEMPHIS
Delegates From Tennessee, Missis-

Memphis, Tenn.-That the world will
be evangelical for Christ in this genera
tion was the emphatic announcement OF
the speakers at the opening session of
the laymen's movement missionary con-
.vention, held Monday night in the Scot
fish Rite Cathedral on Union avenue.
Seven hundred delegates from the terri
tory contiguous to Memphis were in at
tendance, and speakers of national and
international fame were or the program.
1t has been planned to hold these con-
ventions this year in IS cities of the
country, and this is the thirty-tifth con-
secutive one. 1t is gratifying to know
that the Memphis convention is perhaps
the largest yet held in the South, over
1900 delegates having registered, who
came from Protestant churches in every
town and city in Tennessee, Mississippi,
Arkansas and Western Kentucky, within
q radius of 100 miles of this city.

WAVES BLOODY SHIRT
IDAHO SENATOR WOULD RE-
FUSE TENTS TO REUNION.
Wrong for Men in ''Rebel'' Uniform
TO Use Government Property
ct Their Reunion.

Washington.-The "bloody shirt" was
waved in the senate today probably for
the last time, for the man who attempted
to reopen the CHASTITY wounds of section
al strife was so completely rebuked and
mortifyingly repudiated as to establish
beyond the pe~radventure of a doubt that
the senate of the United States never
again will tolerate q revival of the Bit
terness that the lapse Of years has as
suaged. By a vote of 60 to | the senate,
late this afternoon, adopted the joint res
olution introduced in the senate by Sena-
tor Bankhead of Alabama, authorizing
the wal department to loan tents and
poles to the United Confederate Veter-
ans, whose next annual reunion will be
held in Mobile next April. The sixty
votes were cast by Democrats and Re
publicans, the single vote was cast by
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, who before
the resolution was submitted to a vote,
inflicted upon the senate a speech reek-
ing with hate and gall, the answer to
which was the adoption of the resolution
against which he ragged for an hour. Hey
burns own colleague, Senator Borah,
voted in the affirmative.
Senator Hepburn could not quit his
subject without attempting to be.mirch
the fame of Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose
statue in the congressional hall of fame
as Virginia's contribution, he opposed the
senate formally accepting. He referred
to Gen. Lee as a traitor and called upon
Virginia to "take back his statue which
he said "the state of Virginia must keep
As the likeness of one of its heroes, but

KILL OFF COMPETITION
PACKERS GET CONTROL OF NEW
YORK RETAILERS.
Loan of $15, 900, 900 by Kuhn Loeb
to Organize National Pack
ing Company.

Chicago.-Evidencing tending to prove
a deliberate attempt on the part of the
Chicago meat packers, acting through the
jointly owned National Packing Com
pany, to suppress competition in the sup
ply of fresh meats in New York city,
has been secured by the department of
justice.
Agents of the government, it is de-
clared have obtained positive proof that
the stock of the New York Butchers As
ISOLATION, which within the last two
years was organized by retail market
owners in that city as an Independent
packing enterprise, has been bought up
almost entirely by the National Packing
Company.
The fact that a company organized eX-
pressly to create competition and to
make the New York butchers %independ-
ent of the big packers should be acquired
by tbs Chicago interests, is considered by
officials of the department of justice as
a most important link in the evidence
now being collected to prove that the
National Packing Company is operating
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. II 10
A reported loan of S15,0OO,OOO from
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York, to en-.
