First Test of Employers Liability Act
 in New York State.

New York. Dec. 12.-The federal em- ployers' liability act was tested in New York county courts for the first time today when a jury in the supreme court decided that under it's provi- sions Terrence Burnett was entitled to $10,000 from the Erie railroad be- cause he lost a foot while serving as a brakeman in the interstate service of this line.
 Justice Delaney, who presided, de- scribed the case to the jury as one Of unusual importance to railroad cor porations. Counsel for the brakeman declared that Burtnett was thrown from the toe of a freight car when the engineer applied the air brakes too violently. The railroad attorneys as- serted that the accident was due to the icy condition of the car roof and Burtnett's negligence.
 Under the federal act the plaintiffs counsel contended that the brakeman was entitled to recover, even if he was guilty of contributory negligence, but in that event the damage should be reduced to the extent to which the jury found the brakeman's negligence contributed to the result. Justice De- laney took the view contended by tbr attorney and so charged the jury.

Ryan Rebuked
 by the Court
IRoNWoRKERS' PRESIDENT A
 VoLu5LE WITNESS.
WAS NOT RESPONSIVE
Launched Into Attack on Erectors' Association Instead of Answering the
 Questions of District Attorney Miller.

Indianapolis, Dec. 12.-For asserting that 'virulent attacks" were made cEl him by contractors who employed non union workmen, Frank M. Ryan, pres ident of the Iron Workers Information al union, was censured by the court at the dynamite conspiracy" trial to- day as giving "unresponsive" answers.
 A Letter to McNamara.
 Ryan, the most prominent of the 11 defendants, was asked what he meant by comments he made on an invitation he received to visit William T. Jerome, then district attorney of New York. Ryan's comments were contained in a letter written in January, 1906. to John J. McNamara, secretary of the union. At that time according to the government, Ryan was in New York directing the "dynamiting campaign" in the iron workers general strike against open shop" contractors.
 A Significant Instruction.
 Ryan identified copy of a letter he received from Jerome saying
 T shall be glad to see you alone or with your attorney, if you prefer"
 In his letter to McNamara he said:
 Another surprise. l enclose a copy of Jerome's letter with suggestion llldl II l dLiu pItNtuleu III any way from conducting the affairs of the as- sociation you should advise the first vice president to take charge"
 AssaiIs Erectors Association.
 What did you mean when you said. If l am prevented from conducting the affairs of the association?" asked District Attorney Miller.
 T meant just what 1t says" re- piled Ryan, who although the district attorney objected, kept on talking.
 There had been virulent attacks published in New York and emanat- ing from the National Erectors' asso- citation and a man named Donnelly had come from Albany to circulate e petition to have me impeached as president. I did not know what there was to it until l investigated Donnelly'a | end and I wanted to be prepared for l any emergency. That is all there is to it, except that I saw Jerome"
 Rebuked by the Court. Objection was then made to Ryan's remarks. Federal Judge A. B. An derson, turning toward the witness, said.
 All this talk is unresponsive This 1 is the case of the United States gov- ernment against these defendants and not the Erectors' association. The government established this prosecu- 1 tion."

Beat Newspaper Photographer With a
 Cane After His Arrest.

Chicago. Dec. 12.-The defense which Jack Johnson will make in the federal court, where he is charged with viola ton of the Mann act in bringing Belle Schriber to this city from Pittsburg, is forecast in demurrers filed in the Unit ed States district court today.
 The demurrers attack the constitu- tionality of the Mann law and allege that the pugilist's relations with the white woman were not in violation of the federal statute.
 In attacking the constitutionality of the law it is averred that the regula- tion of morality is matter solely be- longing to the states.
 Johnson was fined $50 and costs by Municipal Judge Goodnow today on the charge of assaulting a newspaper pho tographer with a cane several weeks ago in front of the county jail, as Johnson was being led to a cell mana cled to deputy marshal. Johnson's S attorney filed notice of appeal.

 Mission for China.

Washington, Dec 12.-Observers of far eastern affairs are inclined to be- lieve that President Yuan Shi Kai's government in China is either particu- larly pleased to see Dr. Sun Yat Sen leaving the country or is disposed to confer unexampled honors upon him, according to reports received in Wash ington from Peking. Not only has the late provisional president been charged with a special mission to the United States and other countries. but he has been given an allowance of $1,000 per day.
 Although Dr. Sun. who has not yet left China, is to be accompanied by a numerous suite, it is believed that the allowance is far. in excess of the ordi- nary charges for such missions.
