An Act relating to evidence in personal

An Act relating to evidence in personal
injury cases.
Mr.. ePATTANGALL of Waterville Mr..
Speaker, just want to say few words
uponsthis matter. 1t was matter which
was heard by the judiciary committee and
That committee reported unanimously
presented the matter to the committee
very briefly, knowing that they We're law
yers who would be. thought likely, I'M
pressed with the usefulness of the bill
1t was very simple thing 1t simply
rearranged rules of evidence SO that the
burden of proof in certain lines of cases
fell where good many lawyers think IT
ought to fall. That is to say, In personal
injury cases under our present law the
burden of proof is Mpon the plaintiff 10
show that he was In the exercise of due
care. that Is, that he is not guilty Of con-
tributory negligence. This law arranges
it 50 that If the defendant sets up the
defence of contributory negligence he will
plead it as a defence and prove it as a
defence. That is the law in the United
States court 1t appealed to the commit
tee and the committee reported unani-
mously. and men of both parties We're on
that committee so that there was no par
tisanship, and it passed this House lman
imously without debate. 1t went to the
Senate. and I heard that it had BEEN
killed and l was little surprised because,
1 thought the unanimous report of the
judiciary committee and the unan-
imous passage of this House would
have some weight. In my remarks
the other day I stated that this bill
had been killed and had been killed by
the same gentlemen who were hover
ing around here killing various things.
One of the senators came to Inc and
told me that the bill had not been kill
ed and that it was on the table and
was going to be taken up and taken
care of all right the next day. The
bill was taken care of the next day by
a vote of % to 3 against it. OF course
it would be nonsense for the House to
insist and ask for committee of con-
ference because that would only waste
d little time of the members OF the
House and the Senate in agreeing to
disagree. | did not feel that this bill
ought to die in the House without
somebody saving something about it
to show that = was offered in good
faith and inte04ed in good faith and
had some mertH had merit enough in
it to attract asAnanimous report from
the judiciary coanmittee. 1t seems that
in the Senate somebody got the idea
that il was a labor measure. very
progressive and radical labor bill. 1t
would have applied pretty well to the
laboring man who got killed. l be-
lieve the bill would have passed the.
Senate if the Senate had acted on its
own initiative and known exactly what
it was doing. Notice in the vote which
was. as l said, % to 8, or something
like that, the three men who voted
for it We're the senator from oxford,
the senator from York and the sena-
tor from Knox, the three members of
the judiciary committee.
This is 4 good law and should be
very willing to have the House adhere
and let the matter drop from COM

WENNA's SUICIDE RECORD.

Austria's capital continues to main.
tain its unenviable notoriety for the
number of suicides. The figures just
published for last year are the highest
ever recorded Altogether no fewer
than 567 persons took their own lives
in Vienna, 4405 men and 162 women.
In addition to these there were 891
attempted suicides, of which 499 were
by men and 992 by women. The total
number of suicides and attempts aver
ages almost exactly four a day for the
year.
The oldest victim was a man of
ninety, and the youngest a boy Of
twelve Both threw themselves out
Of windows.
Love troubles were the motive for
most of the suicides, and after these
came family differences, mental dis
orders, sickness, poverty and general
WEAKNESS of life. In one-fourth of
the cases the motive was unknown.

Coal and coke exports from the
United States in 1910 aggregated $45,
100000 in value, and in addition to
this more than $2O,OOO,000 worth was
supplied TO vessels engaged in the

HISTORY FROM TOYS,

Nuremburg has been famous for It's
toys since the middle ages. From the
fourteenth century the city has been
noted for It's dolls with porcelain faces.
At the time of the Renaissance the
Nuremburgers began constructing
dolls houses such as those which ar9
so much admired today. In 1872 the
Elector Augustus of Saxony ordered
a table service for his three daughters
consisting among other articles Of II
plates. $50 glasses, SO table spoons,
and 28 egg cups.
This has come down to posterity,
and 1t is a historical document in a
sense, for there are no forks in the
service. Forks belong to a later pc
riod. Albert ". Of Bavaria had con-
structed realistic house for his chill
dren. 1t was completed from cellar
to greenhouse; even the household
chapel and ballroom were included. In
the ground were stabling and mena-
gerie This is another historical docu-
ment, for much is to be learned of the
elegance Of the time from this toy.

THE WONDERFUL CAT.

People with the good taste to ad-
mire cats have always suspected that
there was something miraculous about
the creatures. We know that in an
cient Egypt cats were accounted
sacred, and 1t is said that In India to
this day both Mohammedans and
Hindus have strong religious feel
ing in favor of keeping the delectable
animal. No wonder If Egyptians and
Indians had a religious reverence for
the cat, since science now tells. as we
read in medical journel, that "the
cat is the best plague-preventer in In
dia." 1t sounds preposterous art
magic, but the explanation is sheer
simplicity. The plague is disease of
the rat, and from the rat is commu-
nicated TO man. Cats abolish rats,
and, therefore, abolish the plague.
When the ancient religious ordained
cat-keeping they were wiser than
some of our modern wiseacres.

ENGLISH TAX ON BACHELORS.

A tax on bachelors was imposed in
England in 1895, and it continued in
operation till 1905. William III. want
ed money to carry on the war with
France, and this was an easy task of
raising it. Every bachelor of twenty
five years standing and every child
less widower of five years standing
had to pay a minimum tax of a shill-
ing a year for five years, rising ac-
cording to the social standing of the
taxpayer Toward the end of the
eighteenth century unmarried men
over twenty-one who had servants had
to pay extra taxation, and later on to
contribute a greater proportion of the
income tax, so that in proposing to
impose a tax on all people of mar
riageable age who remain single the
financial commission of the Russian
Douma are only following in Eng
lands footsteps.

TAFT LoATH TO INTERFERE.
Motives Might Be Misconstrued II
Troops Crossed Border.

Washington-President Taft replied
to message from Governor Sloan, of
Arizona, asking protection for citizens
of Douglas from the fire of federals
and insurrectos, that he was loath to
endanger Americans in Mexico by
taking so radical a step as sending
American troops across the border to
prevent further fighting.
The president in his telegram to the
governor said the situation might
justify him in ordering troops to cross
the border and attempt to stop fight
ing or to fire upon both contestants
from the American side.
He hesitated to take such step
because of the possibility of resistance
and greater bloodshed and the danger
of having his motives misconstrued
and arousing Mexicans against Amer
leans now in Mexico.

ARMIsrIcE IS NEAR.
Mexican Rebels Propose Terms
Which Are Favored.

City of Mexico, April ia prop
osition for an armistice pending nego-
tiations for settlement Of Mexico Is
internal troubles was received by the
department of foreign relations today
from Washington, presumably from
DR.. Vasquz Gomez.
A reply was returned in which it
was indicated the government looked
with favor upon the suggestion.
The armistice proposal appeared to
be an outgrowth of the battle at Aqua
Prieta and the loss of life and bodily
injury in Douglas by the fire from the
Mexican side. 1t points to the dang
ers of international complications
which might follow a continuance of
the fight.
Minister de la Barra sent to Wash
ington the answer to the proposal
made by the agent of the revolution
lists. In it he stipulated minor terms,
to which it is believed there will be no
objection. 1t may be assumed that
before full agreement is entered
into every detail of the proposal will
be submitted to Francisco |. Madero,
Jr. So far have negotiations now
gone that it is not expected Madero
will longer oppose the overtures his
agents have made for peace.
1t is believed no time will be lost
either by the rebels or the government
in concluding arrangements for the
and that as soon thereafter
as possible the drafting of terms for
peace will begin. 1t is
both sides realize the war is
costing too much in money and lives.
