TO IMPROVE WORKERS LAW
State Industrial Commits Report
Makes Suggestions for AM
endments to Act.

Madison, -Amendments to the
workmen's compensation law of 1911
are recommended by the Wisconsin
industrial commission in it's first an
nual report. After recounting the
substantial benefits accomplished for
workmen and employers in the year
from July 1, 1911, to June 80, 1919,
the commission advocates several
changes looking to greater ease in
administration.
Compensation under the Wiscon-
sin law is based on loss of wage. Of
this phase the report says:
Theoretically this is the correct
principle, but in order to secure a
simpler administration it may be
we'll to adopt the New Jersey plan
for certain defnable injuries. For
instance, the New Jersey law pro-
vides as compensation for the loss
of a great toe so per cent of the daily
wage during thirty weeks; for the
loss of an eye so per cent of the
daily wage during 100 weeks, and so
on through & complete list of defin-
able injuries. This provision makes
it easy for the employees and en-
ployer definitely to ascertain the
compensation without reference to
the administering board. We sug-
gest that both employers and en-
ployes consider this matter with the
view of possible amendment to our
law"

JUDGE HANFORD OUT.
FEDERAL JURIST AT SEATTLE
QUITS AS HOUSE COMMITTEE
is INVESTIGATING.
ILL HEALTH is REASON GIVEN
He Telegraphs Resignation to Pres
ident While Last Witnesses Wait
to Testify in Impeachment Proceed
ings-Preslden to Await Letter.

Seattle, Wash. July 24-United
States district court Judge Cornelius
H. Hanford, whose conduct on the
bench has been under investigation
for nearly month by subcommittee
of the house judiciary committee, tele-
graphed on Monday last his resigna-
ton to President Taft.
The impeachment proceedings
against the judge were the direct out
growth of decision rendered by him
last spring declaring forfeited the
naturalization papers of resident OF
this city named OLSON because of his
Socialistic views. Hanford based his
action on the ground that OLSON had
deceived the court and that his rad
ical opinions constituted a menace to
the institutions Of the country.
The impeachment resolution was In
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive Victor Berger of Milwaukee and
on its adoption a subcommittee head
ed by James M. Graham of Illinois
was appointed to conduct an investi-
cation in this city.
When the committee met here Mon
day it was believed the last oral testi-
mony would be presented before night
and the committeeman be ready to
begin consideration of the mass OF
documentary evidence already in the
record.
While the range Of subjects to be
considered was not known. 1t was
thought probable the trial of Charles
F. Munday and those of the other
Alaska coal land operators would be
investigated.
To a question put by a reporter as
to whether the resignation of the
judge would relieve the committee
from further duty, the chairman de-
clined to answer.
Washington, July 24.-President
Taft will take no action in connection
with Hanford's resignation until he
has received a letter which the judge
has written him. The president made
this statement:
Judge Hanford has telegraphed me
that he has written me letter." said

story that might have been invented

In 1875, after the Maharaja Malhar

the council found poverty-stricken

the council decided that one of these
boys should have the throne. but left
the selection to the Dowager Maha-
rance
Accordingly, the three brothers-Go
pal. Dada and Sampat-were sum-
moned to the city of Baroda. Shortly
ter their arrival, they were admitted
to the presence of the maharanee.
Her highness asked each In turn why

The youngest was so awed and be-
wildered by the magnifcence of the
court that after smiling foolishly for a

stolid, did not behave so Historically.
He answered the query as any we'll

he declared. because his relatives had

But when Gopal was asked the same
question, he airily responded:
Il have come to be the Maharaja

The maharanee and her councillors
with one accord decided that the

A statement issued to the voters
of Wisconsin on the third party
movement says in part:
Associated in this movement are
all the progressives of the country
outside of Wisconsin In spite of an
agreement on principles, clash of
personality has cut Wisconsin off
from an onward and upward move
ment which was born on her soil and
nurtured by her legislation.
ITO give to the voters of Wiscon-
sin equal suffrage with the voters of
other states it is essential that the
parent state of the progressive move
ment should be represented in the
national progressive convention To
restrict the Wisconsin progressive to
a choice between a republican re c-
tionary with stolen nomination,
and a democratic candidate of per-
sonal purity but questionable affilia-
tions, is not in full accord with either
the theory or practice of representa-
tive government
Whether or not there will be a
Roosevelt state ticket in Wisconsin
will be decided by the convention.
