Booker Washington Dead

Tuskegee, Ala, Nov. IA
Booker T. Washington, the noted
negro educator and founder Of
Tuskegee Institute, died of a
nervous breakdown early today
at his home here, four hours
after his arrival from New York.
The negro leader had been in
failing health for some months,
but his condition became serious
only last week while he was in
the east. He realized the end
was near. but was determined to
make the long trip south to bear
out his ofJ-eXpressed statement
that ne had been born in the
south, have lived all my life in
the south, and expect to die and
be buried in the south"
Booker Washington was born
in slavery near Ha!e's Ford. Va,
in 1857 or 1858. After the eman-
cipation of his race he moved
with his family to West Virginia.
He was an ambitious boy and
saved his money for an educa-
ton. When he was able to scrape
together sufficient funds to pay
his stage coach fare to Hampton,
Va, he entered General Arm
stropg's School for Negroes there
and worked his way through an
academic course, graduating in
1875. Later he became a teacher
in Hampton Institute, where he
remained until 1881, when he or
ganized an industrial school for
negroes at Tuskegee. He re-
NAMED principal of this school
up to the time of his death. The
institute started in a rented
shanty church and today it owns
$500 acres of land in Alabama
and has nearly 100 buildings.
valued at half a million dollars.
An incident of Washington's
career made him a figure Of ma
tional prominence during the ad
ministration of President Roose-
welt. He sat down to lunch with
the president at the White House
either by formal or informal in
vitation. There was a storm of
protest, particularly from the
south, but in spite of the result
ing hostility shown toward him
by any white persons, Wash
ingto continued to exert a vide
spread influence toward the bet
terment of his people.

The Austrian had lived at the Cham

is man of so years of age, and has
grown children living in Austria. Un-
til few weeks ago he was always
happy, cheerful and talkative. Since
the news came of Austria's great
losses in the war he seems to have
been brooding and worrying.
When Maskrowicz came back he
was in pitiful condition, but was
unable to tell where he had been or
what he had been doing. Mr.. Cham.
bers is keeping him at the home for
few days hoping he will recover
his harmony of mind.

ACT IS LIMITED

OLYMPIA, April 15.--Only so long
as the intrastate traffic is separable
and distinguishable from the inter.
state traffic is the workmen's com.
pensation act of this state applicable
to railroad operations within the state
is the ruling given to the industrial
insurance commission by John M.
Wilson, assistant attorney general, in
an informal letter.
The question came up in connec-
tion with the building of the Will
lapa Harbor branch of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railway
joining that road at Maytown. The
commission ruled that the men EN-.
ployed in building the road were un-
der the compensation act and the
contractor was obliged to contribute
to the accident fund, and the conten
tion was made that as soon as the
railroad put into effect tariff for
the hauling Of freight and passeng
ers, the employees were under the fed
eral employees liability act, and could
not seek relief for injuries under tbs
state law.
This was held to be true, even
though the road was engaged in
handling both interstate and intra
state business. The ass stant attor
ney general lays down the rule thai
II the road is to be amenable undeI
the state industrial insurance law the
interstate and intrastate business
must be clearly distinguishable, ant
II they are not the federal liab;lit,
act is applicable and not the state
law. There il no question that th'
builder and contractor il amenablt
under the state law, the opinion
holds.
