u. S. FUNERAL
BOAT ARRIVES
co!crs of Many Nations Are Dipped
Low in Salute of Vera Cruz
Victims.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New York.-The nations dead-the
II blue jackets and marines killed at
the occupation of Vera Cruz, came
home No sun ever beamed brighter
than that which beamed upon the col
ors of the funeral cruiser, the U. 5. s..
Montana, as she appeared through the
haze of the Narrows just before noon
from the anchorage off Sandy Hook,
where she had arrived. The first
glimpse of the Montana and her con-
voy was most impressive.
At the prescribed clip of II knots
the U. S. S. Wyoming led the way.
The Montana came along 10 ship
lengths away at the same speed. The
regulation distance also separated the
Presidents private yacht, the May
flower, which was flying the flag of the
secretary of the navy.
Just as the Wyoming nosed out OF
the. Narrows the converted Portuguese
yacht, the Ideal, plying the Portuguese
flags at half mast, gave the first salute
by dipping colors. Instantly the Wy
oming responded, while the Ideal
crossed the bow to starboard.
Then the flag saluting came from
ships at anchor on all sides. At FIT
Hamilton great crowds in automobiles
and afoot lined the shore road tt
watch the flags at the fort dip grace
fully to the incoming funeral cruiser
and her convoy.
The crew of the funeral cruiser
stood at general quarters. The flag
draped caskets were easily discernet
on the superstructure with their blue
jacket guard, each armed with rifle

Says New Law Has Many Flaws.

What he considers flaws in
the workingmen's compensation law,
recently enacted by the state
legislature, were pointed out in an ad-
dress by F. Robertson Jones, of New
York, secretary of the workingmen's
compensation Service bureau, at the
annual meeting of the Kentucky Manu-
facturers and Shippers association in
the Henry Watterson hotel, Louisville,
KY Mr.. Jones advised all employers
who decided they were eligible to
come under the act to do so, and urged
the men to carry their own risks or
to insure in a liability company rather
than in the state fund.
'All the bad risks will insure in the
state fund the first year." he said, "as
the maximum premium of $1.25 is
much lower than they can get in a
private company. The probability,
therefore, is that the fund will not be
sufficient to pay the losses. The en-
ployer is protected and the state is in
no way liable, therefore, the injured
employe will lose"
