Industrial Code Provision.

coumbus, o., Feb. 15.-A separate
article of the constitution providing
an industrial code for labor Is now
under consideration by the labor
committee Of the constitutional con-
ventlon.
Two sub-conmittees, today, re-
ported favorably ON a workman's
compensation provision and regula-
ton of hours OF service and minimum
wage rate.
The compensation provision agreed
upon by the committee says that the
general assembly may pass laws
establishing n fund to be created and
maintained by the state and may pro-
vide for contributions thereto by
employers for the purpose OF main
tanning employees or their dependents
by reason of death, injuries or oc-
cupatlonal diseases occasioned Inv the
course of employment. If the EN-.
ployers fail to contribute to the fund
1t would have to be maintained by
the state. according to the commit
tee report. This proposal Is to safe
guard the present eompensa ton laws
and make It impossible for a leglsla-
ture to repeal II Ie 'n H" s,

GEN. A|NSWORTH
UNDER ARREST
Relieved of His Command
For Insulting Letters and
Furnishing Misleading
Information.

Washington, Feb. 15.--Because OF
"insultlng letters" written to the sec
retary of war and the chief of staff
of the army, Major General Fired C.
Ainsworth, adjutant general OF the
army, was today relieved of his du-
ties and held to await orders and dis
clplinary measures
This action was taken by Secre-
tary Stimson after consultation with
and by direction of President Taft.
There has long been friction be-
tween Ainsworth and the chief Of
staff, General Leonard Wood, grow
ing out of the old army feud between
the line and staff officers Bitterness
was recently developed i'm hearings
before congressional committees,
when Ainsworth freely criticized the
plans of the staff officers, and main
tained his right to conduct his Of
fee Independent of interference.
Stimson's order merely directs
Ainsworth's suspension, and directs
Colonel II. ,P. Mccain to assume the
office of addutant general Aims
worth will remain on duty at the de-
partment for the present, 1t was un-
derstood.
The correspondence I'm the case
was said to show that Ainsworth i'm
,pugned the judgment OF his superior
Officers and Insisted on the right to
conduct his own department in his
own way.

Conspiracy Indictments.

In the federal conspiracy ind,ct-
ment, the contents of which were
MALE public by the federal officials
this afternoon, Ortie T.. Mechanical
and James B. Mcnamara are charged
with carrying explosives from one
state to another i'm violation of the
law on forty-seven different occa-
sions.
The government charges :hat t!,>e
ffty-four men named i'm the indict-
ment had guilty knowledge of this
illegal transportation Each trip al
legged to have been taken by MoMan-
igal and Mcnamara is set forth in
the indictment.
While the federal officials decline
to comment on the matter, 1t Is re-
ported that overtures have been made
by some of the indicted men I'm
which they agree to confess II they
are promised clemency or light sem
tences Some of these proposals are
said to have been made before the
indictments were voted by individ-
uals who thought It probable that
they would be implicated by the gov
ernment.
In case any new evidence Is un.
earthed as result of the arrests
that tends to show more men to be
implicated, II was announced this aft
ernoon that a second investigation
would be conducted.

UNDER A WRECK
Harry Corliss Rendered Un-
conscious by the Use of
the Drug as the Flam-
es Crept Upon
Him.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 1G.-Pinned
under tons of wreckage and with his
legs and one of his arms slowly
cooking while the fire was creeping
closer and closer to his body, Harry
Corllss, a trainman on the Grand
Trunk railway, was chloroformed
into bllssful Inconsistencies by a
country doctor at Yarmouth Thursday.
Fifteen minutes later his body was a
charred mass.
Corllss and two other trainmen
met their deaths In n head-on freight
wreck on the main line of the Granl
Trunk. The trains running at more
than thirty miles an hour. crashed
head-on just outside of Yarmouth.
Both engines and nearly all of the
cars plled i'm a tangled mass across
the right of way The other two men
were instantly killed, but Corliss was
alive and conscious when yard hands
and citizens who had heard the crash,
reached the scene. by that time the
wreclIage was ablaze
Frantic efforts We're made to re-
lease Corliss but he was caught under
wreckage which could not be moved.
Then men worked until their own
clothing was afire but could do ncIth-
ing and when the fire reached the
doomed man he begged plteously to
be put out of his misery.
In the crowd was a country doctor
who had brought his medicine case
with him. He soaked cotton ami

Furnished Misleading Information.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The charge
that Adjutant General Ainsworth
had furnished "misleading infOrma-
ton" to the house military affairs
committee upon which that body
framed the army appropriation bill
and that this was the cause of Secre-
tary Stimson's order suspending
Ainsworth, was made to the house
this afternoon by Representative
Hobson, Democrat Alabama. The
former naval officer bitterly ar
raigned his Democratic colleague for
attempting to legislate reorganiza-
tion of the army upon Ainsworth'
information" '.@t
Ainsworth's suspension created q
sensation in the war department. Al
though every one connected with the
department had long known of the
Ainsworth- Wood feud, II was noi
thought that there would be an open
break at this time.
Ainsworth's letters objected siren
uously to his department being
placed under Wood. Secretary Slim
son, feeling that he was too closely
connected with ehe case TO be able tc
Judge of its merits impartially, car
ried the matter to President Taft
who, after an investigation. directe-
that Alnsworth be relieved.
While still at liberty, the accused
officer is technically under arrest
Neither Stimson nor Wood nor Aims
worth would discuss the mattcr
Ainsworth, however. intimated thai
the charges were not of such a ma
ture as to warrant his coming pun
lshment" and he said that he would
fight to the limit.
In the correspondence made pub
lie, this afternoons II appeared the
issue upon which the suspension Is
based arose when Stimson askel
Ainsworth for his opinion on the
proposition to abolish the present
muster roll of the army. Ainsworth
replied In a number of caustic letters
rejecting on the intelligence OF the
secretary and the chief of staff.
In regard to this the secretary
wrote that Ainsworth's action must
be deemed deliberate" and was but
the elimination of a series of out
breaks evidenclng such intolerance
of subordlnation and such readiness
TO impugn either the motives or the
