R. E. w. SOMMERS is DEAD
Chemist and Dean of Pharmacy at
Marquette Stricken at Faculty
Meeting.

Milwaukee.-Prof. Richard E. w.
Sommer, dean of the pharmacy de-
partment of Marquette university and
professor of chemistry in the dental
department, died suddenly at his
home, while in the midst of meeting
of the faculty of his department.
The end came fifteen minutes after
DR.. Sommer complained of feeling i'll.
He had been talking upon subjects re-
lating to the semester examinations
and the work of the department when
he suddenly grew faint The other
members of the faculty, most of them
physicians, gave first aid, but their eff,
forts were in vain. He sank into I'M
consciousness and died.
Prof. Sommer was born in Froede-
nau, East Prussia, Sept. IS, 1859. He
came to this country about thirty
years ago and lived in Milwaukee
twenty-five years. For sixteen years
he has been connected with university
work here. First with the Milwaukee
Medical school and since that institu-
tons taking over by Marquette, with
the latter university He was former
ly a professor of chemistry in the med
ical department.
He was famous in this part of the
country as chemist and assayer and
his analyses have been used as evil
dence in many big criminal and civil
cases.

PLAYED GREAT
HISTORIC PART
Destruction of Falls House, Of
Revolutionary Fame, Some
thing to Be DepIored
by Patriots.

IF THE British spy Taylor had not
the United States of America in all
probability would never have existed
as such. For it was in this house, on
October 10, 1777, that the emissary
sent by General Clinton carrying dis
patches to General Burgoyne was
trapped and searched. On him were
found letters with instructions as to
how junction of the British forces
was to be effected with an idea of deal
ing a crushing blow to the hard
pressed American continental army.
1t was in the Falls house, in those
days known as Woods tavern, that
many famous letters were written by
Major Armstrong, one of which is a
vivid portrayal of the condition of the
continental army, then in sore straits.
1t also was the headquarters of New
York's first governor, Clinton.
Historical societies of Newburg and
surrounding towns agitated for the
preservation of the Falls house. But,
with no available site on which to re-
erect it and small funds with which to
put through such a project, it had to
be abandoned
Something of the history associated
with this typical tavern of revolution
airy days is related by William J. Roe
of Newburg as follows:
The autumn of 1777 saw the plight
of Americas arms, endeavoring to as
sert the right of self-government, at
their lowest ebb From the north Bur-
goyne was advancing, while from New
York Sir Henry Clinton, urged by the
necessity of effecting junction with
Burgoyne, had already captured Forts
Clinton and Montgomery, dispensing,

MURDERS BLAMED TO WAR
State Statistics Show Marked Gain in
Number of Suicides for Last
Quarter of 1914.

Madison.-Failure to observe strict
neutrality in discussions of the Euro
pean war is advanced as one cause re-
sponslble for marked increase in
homicidal deaths during the last quar-
ter Of 1914, in the report of the state
board of health.
The report says 513 lives were sacri-
feed during the three months COW
cred. There were nearly twice as
many suicides as compared with the
corresponding period in 1913 Finan-
cial depression and the war are given
as possible explanations.
Despite safety first" campaigns

HIGH COURT RULES COMPENSA
TON DOES NOT APPLY IN
LIGHTNING CASE.
LAB0RER is KILLED By BOLT
Was Working on a Dam at Little Rap
ids During a Rain Storm, Accom-
panied by Thunder and
Lightning.

Madison.-In affirming the decision
of the Dane County Circuit court in
the case of Hoening VS.. Lindauer
O'Connell company the Wisconsin SUI
preme court upheld the contention of
the company and the Wisconsin In
| dustrial commission, that death by
lightning is an act of God and not a
ployer.
The commission decided in this
case that death under those circum-
stances would not come under the
section of the compensation law
which reads as follows:
Compensation is paid when three
facts appear, namely: The employee
was injured; such injury grew out of
and was incidental to his employment;
such injury was not caused by wilful
misconduct"
In the instant case Hoening was
working on a dam at Little Rapids
during an intermittent rain storm &C
companied by thunder and lightning.
While thus engaged he was struck by
lightning and killed.
The commission, in memorandum
attached to it's decision, held it was
the intention Of the legislature to COM
pensate injured workmen for injuries
resulting from accidents which grew
out of the hazards of industrial en-
terprises and are peculiar to such en-
terprises." he commission held that
lightning stroke was not properly
spoken of as an accident where it
comes from the action of the elements
without the agency of man. In this
attitude the commission followed the
English courts.
While this is the first time that
death by lightning has come up to
the industrial commission for deci-
sion under the workmens compensa-
ton act, death from sunstroke has
been decided not to be under the act
