LIGHTNING CASE.
LABORER IS KILLED BY BOLT
Was Working on q 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 Su.
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
part OF. the risk assumed by the en-
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, 1wAapely: The employe
was mis- suSh 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 ac-
companied by thunder and lightning.
While thus engaged he was struck by
lightning and killed
The commission, in a memorandum
attached to its 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 workmen's compensa-
ton act, death from sunstroke has
been decided not to be under the act

NEW BOAT FOR GOODRICH co.
Work to Begin May on Vessel to
Cost 100000, Says President
of Company.

Manitowoc.-The construction of a
new steamer larger than any now in
the Goodrich fleet will be begun by
the Manitowoc Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Co., at Manitowoc, about May 1,
according to A. w. Goodrich, presi-
dent of the Goodrich Transit Co.
The new ship will cost 100000, will
be 216 feet long and will contain 207
staterooms. About one year will be
required for its construction. When
completed it will ply between Chicago,
Grand Haven and Muskegon.
The new boat is in no sense de-
signed to take the place of the Iowa,
which was sunk by the ice pack off
Chicago harbor," said Mr.. Goodrich.
THE plans for this boat had been pre-
pared long before the Iowa sank, and
we had intended to build it this year.
The Georgia is now taking the place of
the Iowa, but that arrangement is
subject to change"

Diversing Opinions of Two Managers
as to Attaining Results Are
of Interest.

Two men with Offices in the Wall
street district, each employing cleri-
cal force of dozen persons, were talk
ing shop at luncheon the other day
and one said he was an early riser
and usually was at the office before
any Of the clerks.
I'm an early riser, too, and get up
because like to-" said the other, "but
] never get to my ortice before nine
o'clock, half hour after the office
opens for business. do this because
after considerable experience and OBJ
servation found that it is more effec-
tive with the employees
"They are shrewd folk, they are, and
have their own methods of sizing up
the boss, and find that they conclude
that the employer who gets to his
Office early either needs the extra time
to do his work in or he wants to see
that his employees are not beating
time on him. Either of these con-
dit.ons is, in my opinion, not to the
interest Of the employer.

THAT OF THE u. S.
LACK OF PRECISE DATA CON-
cERNINe NEW fe-INcH PROD
ucT OF GUN FACTORIES IN
GERMANY, DOES NOT PERMIT
OF COMPARISON WITH UNCLE
SANS.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

washington, Jan. 26.-Lack of pre-
else ballistic data concerning the new
German 16-inch guns which has
caused so much discussion in England
does not, according to naval experts
here today, permit q close comparison
between it and the new American
naval gun Of the same calibre now I'M
der test at Indian Head, Md. 1t APP
gears however, they think, that
whereas the German projectile has a
slight advantage over the American
16-inch shell in speed, the latter,
2,150 pounds, is more than 100 pounds
heavier than the German shot and
consequently win have greater strik-
ing energy and more penetrative pow
er in steel armor.
This factor of penetration after all,
according to leading American naval
experts, is the prime object instead of
range as is generally supposed.
on the other hand, there is grave
objection to sacrificing the defensive
power and speed of war vessel to I'M
necessarily large guns. The maxim of
the navy department, as set out by a
distinguished expert, is to equip Am
erican battleships with the smallest
and lightest gun that will penetrate
at ranges within vision the heaviest
arrnor that can be carried on the en-
emy's ship.
1t Is believed this object has been
realized in the new naval 14-inch guns,
being placed on the largest dread
naughts. The 16-inch gun now at In
dian Head was designed and con-
structed by the naval ordnance bu-
reau with the sole purpose of having
ready larger and more powerful
weapon than the 14-inch gun in case
it should be demanded by naval de-
velopments. 1t is said that so far no
such need has appeared as the result
of the naval battles of the present Eu-
ropean war.

OFFERED SHRIMP
TO THE POLICEMEN

Jim Coleman, colored boy about
16 years Of age, was sent to the city
Jail yesterday on suspicion of having
been one Of several negro boys who
lately effected their escape from the
reform school.
The COY was in the act Of disposing
of about two dozen quarts of shrimp,
which he said he had caught and
some of the objects in the basket he
carried were squirming lively as they
were disturbed, while the boy sat in
the sergeant's office.
Every officer who showed up was
sought as customer by the boy, and
when the probation officer, who was
sent for, showed up, the boy was very
insistent that Mr.. Paulsen take a part
of his possession, at ten cents per
quart. The boy was allowed to go
free, as the probation officer could not
identify him as any of the many sent
to the reform school from this county
Before he left the station, however,
he made strong efforts to sell to every
policeman showing up for the o'clock
watch.
