LIABILITY LAW Invalid
Court Of Appeals Decides That
Act Is ConfiSCatory.
LOWER COURTS OVERRULED
Decision Holds Act Deprives EN-
ployer of Property Without
Due Process of Law.

| AI0fnN, MaTCn 81 nc compulsory Woi
mems compensation law. passed by the
Legislature last year. which provides COM
pensation TO workmen injured in certain
specified dangerous employments, although
such injury occurred through no fault OF
the employer and solely through the negli-
Cence OF the workman. was declared un-
constitutional by the Court of Appeals to-
day. The court holds that the act deprves
the employer OF his property without due
process of law in violation Of the Constitu-
ton
The law was modelled on the English
workmen's compensation act Of 1897. which
has since been extended to cover every
kind Of occupational injury, and was en-
acted as a result Of the work Of the VAIN
wright Commission which was appointed In
1900 to investigate the working of the law
relative 10 The liability of employers for
industrial accidents Judge Werner wrote
the opinion i'm which all the members OF
the court concurred.
The main feature of the act was that II
required employers Of labor in certain occu-
pations, such a. bridge building, operation
Of elevators. work on scaffolds. work on
electric wires. working with explosives
work on railroads and tunnels and work
carried on under compressed air, which are
declared dangerous occupations. to compen-
safe their employees for any injury occur
ring during the course Of the work, al
though such injury occurred solely through
the negligence Of the workman.
The rule which prevailed in this state be-
fore the enactment of the statute was that
the employer of labor in any occupation
was not liable for accidents or injuries to
his workmen unless they were due to some
fault or negligence on the part Of the en-
ployer and at the same time the workman
was shown to be free from fault or neglI-
gence on his part contributing TO the acci-

Aqua Prieta. Mexico, March 2i.-There is
no truth in reports that four Americans
captured with the insurgents In the re-
cent fight here were executed by the Meyi-

circulated The Associated Press dispatches
from Aqua Prieta said that there was no
foundation for them. The names of the
men supposed to have been executed CORE
spOnd with those of residents at Douglas.
none of them has been imprisoned or

THE ONCE OEsPIsEo PEANUT.

The lOWly and unsung peanut is about to come not only into it's own, but into what has long been considered something elses. From the most laughed at and despised of crops it has risen by sheer strength of merit to d position among the aristocracy of Southern fields From being the stop cry of childhood it has advanced to the place of one of the recognized foods. and the producer of high-class oil for mans fabrication. Great rush es have been made to the gold fields of the Klondike in the mad search for wealth. and many men have given up their lives in the attempt to pan for tunes from those ice-defended hills; but in the year of its greatest yield the output of the Klondike did not reach in dollars the value of the coun- try's crop of peanuts. The naughty cotton planter of Mississippi. seeing his crop destroyed by the boil weevil, sought to make up the loss by plant ing peanuts. The first year the eX- pertinent was made with 2500 acres. The result was SD satisfactory that this year 150.000 acres of those rich alluyial lands have been planted to goobers. and the prospect is that a much larger crop will be put in next year The Texas people have learn ed of the value of the peanut, and thousands of acres of the lands are now devoted 10 their growth. Geor- gia long ago learned what the pea nut will do for its devOtees, and has reaped a lot of prosperity from the knowledge. Verify, the lowly goober is the goods Baltimore Sun.

BUILDING OF BIG SHIPS

Following the announcement that the Hamburg American line is plan ming a ship bigger than the new Olympic comes the statement, not vet authoritativelv confirmed. that the Cunard company will so increase the size of the new Aquitania as Co make her over 300 feet long. ten feet longer than the Hamburg American craft, and more than fifty feet longer than the Olympic. Published con temporaneously with this latter re- port as an interview with Lord Pr rie. head of the Belfast firm of liar Ian X Wolff. builders of the Olympic, Titanic and several of the larger ships now sailing to and from this port un- der the German flag. Lord Pirrie says that no mechanical difficulty IS involved in building d ship larger than the new White Star monsters, but he is inclined to doubt the truth of the stories regarding the Hamburg American and Cunard plans for the reason that the Olympic now taxes available dock accommodations to the limit on both sides of the ocean, and also because, in his opinion, ships longer and greater of draught could with difficulty, if at all, navigate | New York harbor.
 When a man of Lord Pirre's repu- tation talks on--the possibilities or ship-building he is listened to with | the utmost respect At the same time the belief will persist that the rumors of still larger ships contem- pIated by foreign builders are not
 without foundation. The White star Company went right ahead and gave ] the contract for the Olympic and IT. tanic to Lord Pirrie's firm with the 1 knowledge that no suitable dock room
 was available for them in this port and without any positive assurance
 that the War Department would con sent to the lengthening of the piers in the North river. The very pig ship which excels all others in point of size has generally proved a proflt- able investment for her owners. She commands more free advertising than any other vehicle of transportation m lthe wide world. Her cabins are usu- ally well filled even in the seasons
 of slack travel. It is just possible
