COMPE PENSATION ACT DEFEATED
 IN TIE HOUSE
Some of the Causes Which Led to Slaughter of Measure that Had Been Endorsed in Plat form of Great Political Par ties
All of Bridgeport's and Representatives Had Favored the Bill Small Town" Con- tingent Did the Work
Especial to The Farmer ]

Hartford, Aug. 2-The workingmen' compensation bill, the product of one of the most exciting campaigns in the history of Connecticut, the result bf weeks of hearing by the Judiciary committee, brought to the edge of hope when it passed the Senate, was slaughtered in the House, yesterday. Every force of social hatred, class in- justice and reaction set upon the un- fortunate legislation with almost mob violence, mangling the bill to it's death
 Judge Banks, as in the public utili- ties legislation, laid his effort to de- feat the bill upon the shoulders of the judges.
 The argument of unconstitutionality he reiterated, painting the courts as entirely out of touch with measure endorsed by the Democratic party, supported by all the leaders of the Re- publican party who have the slightest standing with the people, and de- by every man with knowledge of social condition and bowels of com passion. The most bitter enemy of the States judicial establishment could not have sowed more wind to reap a harvest of whirlwind in the future.
 Much of the hostile vote resulted from influences of the lobby-the usual More resulted from the operation of an unsympathetic en- vironment.

BOY MINER RESCUED
 AFTER } DAYS
On Verge of Collapse From Ex- hausti0n as He is Carried
 to His Home e
While Son is Being Fed Through Pipe, Mother Offers Fervent
 Prayers For His Safety
Special from United Press.

Joplin. Mo, Aug. 2-Joseph Clary, a young miner entombed three days in the caved-in White Oak Mine, was rescued, today, and all but collapsed from exhaustion and emotion as he was carried off to the home of his mother, made i'll by her sons experi- ence. The digging of the shaft through 7S feet of earth and limestone took three days, men and boys work ing the shaft day and night.
 Seyenty-eight feet below the crust of the earth the boy miner, imprison- ed in "a drift. at the top of which is a gigantic mass of limestone, was able to joke with rescuers early today. While seepage water slowly rose about his body. The best miners in the town were working frantically to reach him, while through a pipe the boy was be- ing fed and his spirits kept up. They, made record in shaft sinking that is sure to stand for years
 In her home a quarter of a mile away, Mrs. C1ary, mother of the boy, was thankfully breathing prayers for his safety, although still fearful of something interfering with the ulti- mate rescue of her boy.
 He talked with her over hastily rigged up telephone and assured her that he was all right.
 Thomas CIary. thea boy,s father, was in personal charge of the shaft sink ing. An experienced sminer, he nev- CT left the scene of the cave-in for moment, since his boy was caught, Sunday. It was due in great. measure to his efforts that Clary was saved.
 While the shaft was being sunk to bring the sentombed man to the sur face, power pump was used to keep the seepage down. A hose was run through the pipe which was also us- ed to communicate with Clary. and while not powerful enough to lower the water level, 1t held it in check most l of the time. A rope had been sent l down and C1ary fastened it around his 1 waist so that he could be hauled to | the top of the drift, should the water rise too high.

 Hartford, August 2.-Like a, bolt of lightning from a summer sky came a missile from the Connecticut State Grange today, refusing farmers pat ronage to the State Agricultural Fair.

Dominated by an o1igarchy of polite ians, lobbyists and Representatives of big business. It is inevitable that such a domination should result fn the presence in the General Assembly of many legislators out If touch with men voted against compensation
 Then there were the farmers and others from the smaller towns.

 Some of these men, however, were without excuse Being Democrats they had the light of their party plat form, which bound all Democrats to vote for workingmen's compensation.
 Regardless of their personal knowl~ edge they were assured by their party that compensation is just and neces- sary, and since they ran for offfcs upon Democratic ticket they were bound to this view despite their owE private and personal views.

 Washington, Aug. 2.-Republican "standpatters" who talked with Pres ident Taft. today, made the positive prediction that Taft would veto both the wool tariff revision bill and the free list bill, if they reached him. If the Senate and House agree on the two measures as now seems likely and the President vetoes them, the prospects are that the present session will come to an abrupt ending. The Democratic leaders expect to secure a final vote on the cotton bill tomor- row. In the Senate, according to agreement, a vote must be taken to- morrow on the bill for reappoint- ment of Congressional districts. The House bill fixing the House member ship at 433. will probably be adopt ed.

GOOD REMEDY FOR HIcc0UGH
spasmodic contrsotlons Of Diaphragm
Stopped Instantly by Small Guam
tly Of Powdered Sugar.

Hiccough is a sudden and spasmodic
contraction of the diaphragm, deter
mining brusque shock to the walls
OF the abdominal and thoracic cavity.
and Is accompanied by a rough and
inarticulate sound caused by the sud
den closure and sonorous vibration Of
tho vocal cords.
Among the numerous remedies en-
ployed against the disagreeable symp-
toms there is one recommended by
DR.. Petit Of Beaumont, France, which,
although not really new, 10 but little
known. II has the merit of being ex-
tremely simple and is said to be re-
marksbly efiicacious.
1t consists simply In swallowing as
quickly as possible a tablespoonful of
powdered sugar without any admixture
with water. The hiccough will be Inn
mediately stopped. II It comes on
again, the same remedy again will be
found successful.
What is the action of the powdered
sugar7 Probably 1t sets up a kind of
reflex action. The sugar certainly
plays no specific role in this case, and
1t is probable that any inert powder
would have the same effect.
Dr. Petit has made use Of this rem
edy for some years. and 1t has rarely
failed. Accordingly he recommends
recourse to It even when the case of
hiccoughs may have resisted all the
standard remedies.
