by McNab this morning, when he
took the stand as a witness for the
defense in the Corbin trial.
McNab testified that he had seen
the report before it was submitted
by Corbin; that he was familiar with
the items which Walker declares Cor
bin falsifed. and that he had in
structed Corbin that the items We're

The case is expected to go to the
jury this afternoon.
When court convened this morning
Corbin resumed the stand in his own
defense. He made the statement that
the disputed report was drawn up by
him on the advice of Expert Account
ant Hassett. He said also that he
attached to that report memirandum
in regard to the $4,000 interest item,
doing this because he was not willing
to take any chances with burglar.
There was no attempt whatever on
his part he said, 10 mfslead or deceive

was in every respect like those he had
submitted during the preceding five
years.
The cross examination of Corbin by
Special Prosecutor Martin lasted less
than five minutes and failed to affect
his direct testimony given.
Corbin was followed on the stand
by A. H. Jarman, a director of the
corporation. Jarman's most material
statement was that he had warned
Corbin prior to June 80. 1912. to be
very particular as to his reports for
the corporation. because somebody. he

STATE BOARD URGES
NEW INSURANCE PLAN

In an address to employers of labor
industrial accident board explains the
benefit of the new workmen's COM
pensation, insurance and safety act
which takes effect January l, 1914, in
the following language.
Commencing January 1, 1914. en-
ployers will be held liable under the
workmen's compensation, insurance
and safety act for any accidental in
Juries sustained by employees while at
work. The state through its COM
pensation insurance fund provided for
under the act. has prepared to insure
employers against such loss at the
lowest standard rates These rates
viii average from 20 to 40 per cent
lower than compensation rates that
nave hitherto prevailed in California.
EMPLOYERS HELD LIABLE
Except in the case where workers
themselves are guilty of intoxication
or willful misconduct, the employer,
under the law, will be held liable for
any injury sustained by his employees
by accident arising out of and in the
course of the employment. and also
for the death Of any such employe
If the injury shall proximately cause
death. The only exceptions relate to
those employees engaged in household
domestic service or in the various
forms of agriculture
After paying losses, operating ex-
penses, setting aside required reserves
and moderate percentage to build
up surplus to meet possible catas
trophe losses, the balance. if any, will
be in the nature of profit, that, in
the case of stock companies, would
he n "a ctn hnI in ixyi-
dends but in the case of the state
insurance fund. 1t is the intention
of the industrial accident commission
to have the policy holders reap the
benefit thereof.
INSURANCE ON MUTUAL PLAN
This makes the state insurance
fund practically mutual company
It. therefore. makes it to the interest
of employers to give the state fund
every preference and support. The
fund has been organized with the
same care exercised in organizing
private undertakings Insurance ex-
perts have been chosen purely on
merit regardless of political faith.
Employers will, therefore, have every
right TO expect that the fund will be
conducted in accordance with the
highest business principles, giving it's
policy holders the most perfect pro-
lection at the lowest cost.
The fact of an employer holding
an unlimited policy in the state COM
pensation insurance fund. whatever
may be it's reserve, will, in the event
of an accident to any of his work
men, no matter what may be the cost,
at once relieve the employer of any
expense in the way of medical aid or
compensation The entire burden
will be assumed by the fund. ana the
Injured workmen win receive the best
medical services and every penny of

they may be entitled. In the event
