Man Who Invented Hydroplane Wins Out After Fight In the Courts
 Lasting Years.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Albert s. Janin, 8 cabinet maker living on Staten Island, who has been consid. cred as mentally unbalanced for the past fifteen years because he claim. ed to be the first inventor of the hy. droplane, has been vindicated by the courts upholding his claim.
 Janin's neighbors who formerly re- garded him as a "bug" are now wy. ing with each other to do him hon. or. He will receive a comfortable income from the royalties on the ma chimes. One order was recently re- ceived by the factory which attempt ed to steal Janin's patent from a bel ligerent power in Europe. The cor poration which had been formed to manufacture the hydroplanes kept the matter before the courts for several years in the hope of wearing Janin to point where he could no longer fight them.

A New Dispensation

In closing a personal injury case IN
Franklin county court the other day
Judge Frank l.. Fish gave striking
example of the cruelty and unecon-
omic waste of the old common-law
system of compensation for injured
workmen through the courts.
Instructing the jury to return a
verdict for the defendant, the court
called attention to the fact that when
Jennie Martin went to work for
Ralph C. Whitcomb in laundry, she
voluntarily assumed the risk OF oper-
ating a mangle, and so she RECEIVERS
nothing for losing four fingers of her
left hand and must 90 through life
crippled and partly helpless to earn
an honest living.
The learned judge was correct in
his Interpretation of the law, but cas-
es like Jennie Martins have resulted
in workmens compensation acts and
a better, more humane principle of
dealing with the victims of work-ac-
cidents.
Had it been possible to have plac-
ed Whitcomb's laundry under the
Vermont workmens compensation
act. just enacted, Jennie Martin
would not have been compelled to
sue her employer. She would merely
have given due notice, and, subject
to the new system would have re-
ceived a matter of 20 weeks compen
sation. baed on one-haf of her reg
ular wages; not very much. It's true.
but several hundred dollars better
than nothing which the eommon-law
system awards her today.
This theory of the assumption of
risk, together with the twin doctrines
OF contributory negligence and fell
low-servant are trio of defenses
built up by shewd counsel during cen
turtles of lawsuits during common
law, made necessary by the unjust,
exemplary verdicts usually given by
juries where negligence on the part
of the employer could be shown.
If employers and their workmen
will work earnestly together under
the workmens compensation act of
this state. effective next July, it will
be substantial and significant ad-
vance in dealing with industrial prob
lens and their yictims.-Rutland
Herald.
