LOCAL ATTORNEY
SCORES VICTORY
Decision of Supreme Court on
Industrial Board of Much
Interest.
WILL NOT ACCEPT APPEALS
H. A. Weld, Representing Claimant,
Carried Up First Case Which
Came to An Issue.

The dismissal of the writ of certior-
ari in the case of the Simpson Con-
struction company VS.. Courier, in
which the Illinois supreme court re-
fused to take jurisdiction in cases of
appeal from state industrial board, as
stated in yesterdays dispatches in The
Argus, is a victory for Attorney H. A.
Weld of this city, who was engaged in
the case.
The decision is to the effect that the
section of the workmen's compensa-
ton act of 1913, providing that deci-
sions of the industrial board can be re-
viewed by certiorari is unconstitutional
and that unless some other method of
review can be devised, their decisions
are final.
The case is interesting because 1t
was the first one to be arbitrated, the
first one to be reviewed by the indus
trial board after being passed on by
the arbitrator and the first one to go
to the supreme court under the work
mems compensation act of 1913, now
in force George B. Courier, a carpen-
ter. working for the Simpson Construc-
ton company on a building in Chicago.

II was to reverse this action of the
industrial board that the writ OF GER

court. Attorney Weld, who has re-

Chicago has had charge of the case
throughout on behalf of the claimant.
while Miller, Gorham & Wales of Chi

Ii was contended by Mr.. Weld on be-
half of the claimant that the legisla-
ture could not under the constitution
give the supreme court original juris-
iiction 10 issue writs OF certiorari as
was attempted to be done by this act
and as the writ was dismissed it is
apparent that the supreme court has
sustained his contention.

SPELLING BOARD
Professor Esbjorn of Augustana
College Takes UP New
Line of Work.
WILL BE AWAY ONE YEAR
VIII Cover North Central States in an
Effort to Spread the Pro-
paganda.

Professor C. L. Esbjorn. professor
of modern languages at Augustana COL
lege, has accepted an appointment
with the simplifed spelling board OF
New York, rendered him by Brander
Matthews, president of the board, and
today left for Iowa, where he will be-
gin the work. The board at Angus
tana college has granted him one
years leave of absence, at the end of
which IL is expected he will return
and resume his work here. During his
absence the classes in the modern
language department will be divided
between DR.. Andreen, Professors Killing
and Skarstedt and Miss Martha Foss
Two years ago the movement began
in this state and at that time Angus
tana college took an active part, the
faculty declaring itself willing to adopt
any or all of the simpler forms of spell
ing favored by the board. providing
that two of the three leading UNIVERSE
ties in the state and two-thirds of the
colleges did the same. Last spring
the state university and Northwestern
university, the necessary two-thirds of
the smaller colleges, II in all, adopted
the plan and Augustana officially rec
ognized the new forms. The simpli
fed spelling is now being used in all
official correspondence and in the An
gustana college bulletin.
Covers North Central States.
Professor Esbjorn will cover all of
the north central states, his work be-
ing to interview college presidents and
RI nd q
new forms in their official correspond
ence and publications. The simplified
forms include the alternative spelling,
such as traveller in preference to trav-
eller. center to centre, medieval to
medieval quartet to quartette, supena
to subpoena, and all other words
spelled in two or more ways and the
II words adopted by the National Edu-
cation association, namely: program,
catalog, decalog, prolog, demagog, ped
cog. tho, altho, thoro, thorofare, thru,
thruout and all derivatives of thoro,
such as thorofare, thoroly, thoroness
and others. The adoption of the sys-
tenn BY the college authorities for Of
fetal correspondence, does not mean
that the individual students or faculty
members thereby oblfgate themselves
10 use these forms in their private cor
or in their personal publ
cations.
Prominent Men or Board.
The simplified spelling board is COM
posed of many prominent men includ-
ing Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Car
negie and several others. The APP
pointment from the head of this board
comes TO Professor Esbjorn in recog- /
milton of the work done by him during
the last two summers when he covered
and Iowa in the interest of the !
board. !
