NOT ENTITLED TO BENEFITS.
Accident Board Rules On Workmen
Disabled BY occupatonaI Diseases.

Disabled BY occupationaI Diseases.
The State Industrial Accident Com
mission has ruled that workmen dis
abled by occupational diseases are not
entitled to compensation under the
Maryland Workmen's Compensation
law. While the English compensation
statute and similar laws in many
States of this country provide COM
pensation for workmen attacked by
diseases brought on by popularity OF
their occupation the Maryland Com
mission has ruled that no such relief
is provided for in the local act.
The opinion in which the ruling is
embodied was written and handed
down by Commissioner Waggaman. 1t
deals with the claim of. Frank w.
Krug, "a millworker employed by the
Morgan Millwork Company. Krug, ac,
cording to the evidence, is a painter
and contracted lead poisoning while
engaged in his work for his employer
The physician who attended Krue
testified that in his opinion the mans
condition was due to his failure to re-
move paint from his hands while eat
ing his lunch. The disease advanced
sufficiently to incapacitate Krug from
further performance of his duties TEN.
porarily, and compensation was
claimed.
Commissioner Waggaman, in his
opinion, says that according to all au-
thorities lead poisoning is not the re.
cult of an accident, but is an occupa-
tional disease. Continuing, the Com
missioner says a careful examination
of the Maryland act fails to disclose
any legislative intention to include dis
eases contracted in the course of EN-
ployment even though such diseases
had their origin in the nature OF the
employment. He adds that on the
other hand the legislature evidently
intended that the act should apply only
to injuries which arise as the result
of accident and in an extra hazardous
employment.

MARYLAND LAND BEST.
William H. Manss Urges Advertising
States Attractions.

A big audience greeted William H.
Manss, vice-president and general
manager of the Southern Settlement
and Development Organization, when
he appeared before the City Club to
talk upon the situation confronting
Baltimore and Maryland.
He pointed out the remarkable
change in the conditions that have
come about in the last few decades,
the transition of the United States
from an agricultural nation to an sgri-
cultural-industrial nation, as shown b.
the fact that the manufactured exports
of this country now exceed its agricul-
tural exports, and also discussed the
changes that have brought about an
actual lessening of agricultural pro-
duction, with the consequent increase
in the cost of living.
1--WE are now" he said, facing the
problem of congested cities, of aban-
doned farms and of constantly increas-
ing costs of foodstuffs There are now
abandoned farms in New England and
in New York State of a total area
equal to that of the State of New Jer-
sey. Maryland is only tilling a small
proportion of her tillable area and she
is becoming to be classed as one Of
the abandoned farm States, although
the value of her lands are increased"
The business of Baltimore had de-
creased, he pointed out, as result of
the changed and still changing condi-
tions. Yet the lands of the State of
Maryland had greater potential pos
sibilities than the lands of any other
section of this country. There should
be added to the State, he said, at least
10000 farmers, but this could not be
done by talking. The State was prac-
tically unknown in the West and there
were hundreds of thousands of per-
sons there who knew nothing more
Of the Chesapeake Bay than the fact
that very excellent oysters came
from it.
He urged the advertising of the
States resources and the turning of
the tide of tourists this way. If he
had his way, he would have the busi-
ness men of the State guarantee a
fund of $4,000 year for five years
for a campaign for the bringing Of set
tiers into this State. Canada" he
said, has robbed this country of 600,-
900 farmers and Canada is spending
$3,500,OOO a year in ;ls advertising
campaign and in other methods Of in
ducing people to go th~re. And why
do they go? Because tney know moth.
ing of the opportunities to be found
in Maryland and in "Sher Southern
States"
He concluded his address with a
strong appeal to the business men to
get together for the building up of the
State.

We had had our usual wordy disa-
greement over some petty subject in
which he was no nearer wrong nor l
any nearer right than we had been
many times before; but for some rea-
son l found it harder to pardon him.
For the first time in our long ac-
quaintance, l let Algernon Etheridge
leave me, without, any attempt at con-
ciliation.

sight of my empty study, l had not
conceived the mad notion of waylaying

upon these might-have-beens! What
happened was this:
Disturbed in mind, and finding my
self alone in the house, Oliver having
evidently gone out while we two were
disputing, decided to follow out the
impulse l have mentioned. Leaving
by the rear, l went down the lane to
the path which serves as a short cut
to the bridge.
That l did this unseen by anybody
is not SO strange when you consider
the hour, and how the only person
then living in the lane was, in all
probability, in her kitchen. 1t would
have been better for me, little as
might have recognized 1t at the time,
had she been where she could have
witnessed both my going and coming
and faced me with the fact.
John Scoville, in his statement, says
that after giving up his search for his
little girl he wandered up the ravine
before taking the path back which led
him through Dark Hollow. This was
false, as well as the story he told Of
leaving his stick by the chestnut tree
in the gully at foot of Ostrander lane.

key he took from his pocket; then
pausing with the knob in his hand, he
said:
