IA, Preside, Texas, Dec. 9.-Twen'
ty Mexican federal soldier forming
the advance guard of the bedrag-
gIed army which deserted Chihua-
hua City, arrived at ojinaga, Mexi-
CO, opposite Preside today.
The soldiers reported that they

they were being followed by other
refugees Including civilians and
federal officers.
Juarez, Dec. s.-chihuahua City

issued an order that all foodstuffs shal

There were two Cardinals of the Cath

HOLDS / EMPLOYER TO
+ DOUBLE LIABILITY
Ohio Court Decides Wilfully Neg
ligent-Employer Must Pay
Extra Penalty.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1S.-It is feared
that the ruling of Federal Judge Will
liam L. Day, in a charge to the
United States District court jury, | t
upheld, will create a condition, the
like of which has not occurred in any
other state with reference to the oper-
alton of worklngmen's compensa-
ton law.
The ruling was in the case of a suit
alleging damages of $4,000 by q
workingman against Niles, Ohio,
manufacturing concern, this concern
having compiled with the provisions
of the state workmen's compensation
law.
The court interpreted the law to say
that the "Willful act Of negligence Of
an employer renders an employer
liable. This opens the door to a suit
for negligence.
One of the results of the ruling is
that the plaintiff in this case has re-
covered $4,000, despite the fact that
the defendant company paid it's prem
iums into the state compensation fund
and was hence presumed to have COM
pl1cu WIFI INC pIOSISlOHS OIL Tic SLdCe,
law rendering it immune from suit
and rendering the state compensation
fund liable only for the statutory
compensation due to the disability of
the injured employee.
The testimony developed the fact
that during the construction of an
ammonia tank at the. factory the
plaintiff workman had warned the
foreman that a. derrick cable was
weak. A short time later the derrick
let fall plate on the plaintiff. caus-
ing the injury for which he sued for
damages.
Whether the foreman of the con-
struction company was wil!fully neg
ligent in. ignoring the warning Of the
workman is the question on which
many similar suits may be brought.
Citing this case and ruling the deci-
sion, it is believed, will have far
reaching effect on suits which, under
the law, may be brought against the
employer for willful, negligence in
failing to take precautions for insur-
ing the safety Of employees.
