join an alleged proposed sale Of the big
now s750,000 courthouse building on

City Treasurer Dan Shovlin was $1,71d.
1t is denied by the county commits
sloners that any such sum Is due and,
on the advice of County Attorney

an auction sale OF the courthouse was
threatened on account of the alleged
delinquency Judge Lynch granted u
temporary restraining order today and

HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
SAYS LIABILITY
LAWS GOOD
EMPLOYERS IN INTERSTATE
WORK RESPONSIBLE FOR EN-
PLoYEs' INJURIES.

Washington, Jan 15,--After nearly
a years consideration the suprcm,
court gave It's approval today to tn,
employers liability law enacted b,
congress In 1908, To take the place OF
a similar act which had been declared
unconstitutional The decision marks
an epoch in labor legislation.
The old common law hedging In the
rights of employees Is displaced In sew
eral particulars by the statute APP
proved today Notable among these IA
the abolition of the "fullow-servan
doctrine" and the substitution Of q
law making employers liable for the
negligence OF an employe resulting IN
Injury to an interstate employee Fur
thermorc. 1t frees the cmployc from
contrlbutury negligence in many in
stances and limits the effect OF the
doctrine in others: and likcwlse In
many cases llbcrates an employe from
assuming the risk when he enters cm-
ploymont. knowing the danger In his
employment.
In the Bessie BabcoclS case from
Montana, the Mary A. Walsh case
from Massachusetts, and tho Edgar
C. Monduu case from Connecticut, the
law was attacked seemingly from any
conceivable point of view, Justice
Nandoyanter, in announcing the opin-
ion of the court considered these OBJ
jections and rejected each,
He first decided that congress had
tho power to regulate tho duties OF
the common carriers In respect to the
safety Of thoir employees while both
are engaged In commerce among tho
states, and the liability of the former
from injuries sustained by the latter.
Objections were rcfutcd that the
laW prevented cases where the rail-
road exempted itself from liability
and that the law improperly classified
carriers into Interstate and intrastato
groups. Authorities wcra cited to
show that no valid objection could be
founded on the fact that several
states already have determined the
liability of interstate commerce en-
ployers
Pursuing this line the justice said
that now that congress has acted, the
laws OF the states. In so far as they
cover the same field. are suspended
for necessarily that which Is not su-
lpreme must yield to that which ls."

OLD REVERE HOUSE
SEEMS DOOMED
BY FIRE
FAMOUS BOSTON HOSTElRY
BlAZES AND MANY LIVES MAY
HAVE BEEN LOST.

Boston, Jan. 16--The Revere house
took fire shortly before 9 o'clock this
morning. The fire started in IL dining
room and spread through six stories.
Many guests were carried down lad
ders by firemen and others scantily-
clad rushed from the building through
the smoke.
From the Revere house the fire
spread to the hall of the National
Lancers and then to the house OF en-
CINE company No. 4. Hotel Rexford,
another of the old hostelries, is in dan
ger. and the guests have been ordered
out. one fireman is dead.
Police officers who went into the
hotel to rescue the guests were driven
back by the dense smoke. They de-
clare that dozens of people still were
In the building and that many must
be dead.
Four alarms called out the greater
portion of the city's fire fighting ap-
paratus and the firemen were able by
strenuous measures, to save the Ian
GERS hall and the engine house, al
though there was brisk fires on the
roofs.
A sudden shift In the wind sent the
blaze around to the main part of the
hotel and at 2:So the building ap-
pcared doomed, but at O'clock the
firemen believed they had the flames
under control
fourth story and landed on picket
fence.
Confirmation of the report that there
are a number of dead in the hotel is
lacking.
Sailors Help.
A party of sailors from the battle
ships In the harbor, who were In the
VICINITY, did excellent work. They as
sisted the firemen in raising the lad
ders and carried several women and
children from the burning building.
More than 500 persons were Sleep
ing In the hotel when the fire was dis
covered and there was wild confusion
as they scrambled for safety.
Families became separated and for
time the police had difficulty I'm re-
straning some who sought to return
to the building.
At 3 O'clock 1t was thought that all

many still were sleeping when they
were driven out by smoke.
At that hour the fire still was be-

White House Statement.

The statement given out at the
White House follows:
"a recommendation by the post
master general that 1t would be well
for the government to buy the tele-
graph lines and incorporate them in
the postoffice system appeared In an
earlier annual report submitted by
him to the president. After some dis
cussion 1t was decided, at the presi-
dents suggestion, to postpone refer
ence TO the matter to another year
and not to bring 1t forward then, be-
cause of the recommendation OF many
other important changes, including
the postal savings bank and the par
GELS posts. These, ff adopted, would
take up all the energy of the postof-
flee department in making the neces-
sary changes.
1.-The postmaster general intended to
bring this matter to the attention of
the president before the publication in
advance of this part of the report.
After having made preparation for
publication. he was called out of town
suddenly without having done so.
His conclusion as TO tho wisdom OF
taking over the telegraph lines had
been reached only after a full investi-
CATION and consideration. As the re-
port containing the recommendation
has not been submitted to the presi-
dent, it has not yet been considered
by him or by the cabinet with a Wow

Too Big a Subject.

Speaker Champ Clark declared that
government telegraph was too big a
subject to discuss until all the details
OF the postmaster generals plan be-
came known. Democratic Leader I'm
derwood was reticent and Republican
Leader Mann Of the house treated the
project gingerly.
"The relation of the postoffice de-
partment to the express companies
must be disposed of before its relation
to the telegraph systems can be passed
upon" said Mr.. Mann. Both subjects
cannot he handled at once"

plan" said Representative Burleson

senators today to credit the report that
Mr.. Htchcocks action might mean a
break between him and President Taft
and an alignment of Mr.. Hitchcock
with those who are urging the candi-
dacy of Colonel Roosevelt for the re-
publican nomination. This, however
was but one of a half hundred theories
discussed about the capitol.
After Postmaster General Hitchcock
had been in conference with President
Taft for more than an hour, an au-
thoritative statement was made at the
White House that there had been no
friction between the president and the
postmaster general over the latter's
proposed recommendation that the
government acquire and operate all
telegraph lines as an adjunct to the
postoffice system.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1912-01-16

Washington, Jan. 15.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who last night gave
out a statement saying he would rec
ommend to congress government own
ership and operation of all telegraph
lines was summoned to the White
House by President Taft shortly after
IL O'Clock this morning.
The pronounccment in favor of gov
ernment ownership and operation Of
telegraph lines as an adjunct of the
postofficc department stirred Official
Washington today as few administra-
tive acts have in recent years.
The postmaster generals statement
was news to the White House and Is
said TO have caused the greatest sur
prise there. This was evident when
efforts We're made late last night to re-
call the announcement These efforts,
however, did not come from Hitchcock
He was out of the city when the
statement was released and did not
return until late last night. Then he
went Immediately to his apartments
and would not be disturbed. Senators
and representatives generally did not
learn of the proposed recommendation
until they read the papers today.
When they reached the capitol all
were discussing the matter and many
divergent views were expressed.
May Call a Halt.
Most generally discussed OF all the
reports early today WAS one that pres
sure might be brought to bear on Mr..
Hitchcock not to make the recon-
mendation. So far the matter has not
progressed beyond a declaration by
the postmaster general that he would
make such a recommendation to con-
gress by n statement from him giving
reasons for the proposed acquisition of
the telegraph lines.
The postmaster general was late In
reaching his office this morning, al
though there We're many urgent calls
for him.
There was no disposition at the cap
itol today to avoid any serious consid-
GRAFTON of the proposed plan.
"The question of government owner
ship OF public utilities Is great one
that needs long and careful consid-
Grafton" said Representative Moon of
Tennessee, chairman of the postoffice
committee. If Postmaster General
Hitchcock's plans are embodied in a
bill introduced in congress and the bill
comes to this committee 1t certainly
will be given thorough investigation.
Such a proposition never has been be-
fore congress that I know Of
Senator Bourne of Oregon, chairman
of the senate committee on postoffices,
reserved comment until after he had
had time to read the details of the
postmaster generals plans.
They Favor tho Plan.
"On the theory that the telegraph is
a part of the mails, 1t seems to me
that 1t would not be out Of place for
the government to own the telegraph
lines" said Senator Cullom of Illinois.
Senator Smith of Michigan, said "T
have steadfastly opposed the govern
ment ownership of the public utilities
for many years. The prestige enjoyed
by American citizens Is due to their
unhampered individual initiative. but
as a natural purtenance to the postal
system ! have felt that the telegraph
could be more appropriately operated
by the government than any other
branch OF individual business"
