NeD Workmen's Compensa-
ton Act Is Filed in Senate

State Capitol, Salem-A bill provid-
ing for workmen's compensation SIM
liar to the Michigan law was intro
duced in the senate by Bingham. 1t
is different in many phases from the
present compensation law, and its au-
thor says it will solve the perplexing
question Of aiding injured workmen in
this state.
An important feature Of the new act
is that employees will make no contri-
buttons. Those sustaining minor in
juries will receive no benefits until the
18th day after the injuries were sus-
tanned. Persons incapacitated from
work for four weeks or longer will re-
ceiye compensation from the time Of
the accident.
The law provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of one industrial
accident commissioner, who shall re-
ceive $4,000 year. In case of dis
pute as to the amount of compensation
he and two other persons, selected by
those interested, shall fix the amount.
Employers may provide compensation
through casualty companies, mutual
insurance, pay it themselves or come
under provision for state compensa-
tion.
Under the present law the payment
of compensation is according to the
size of the families of the injured per-
SONS, but the new act makes the earn
ing capacity the basis of compensa-
tion. Senator Bingham said one of
the important features of his bill is
that it would induce employers to pro-
vide all safety appliances, that acci-
dents should be reduced to minimum.
"Under practically this same law
operating in Michigan 80 to 95 per
cent of the employers have come under
its provisions" said Senator Bingham,
"and out Of 800, 600 employees less than
15 have rejected it since the law went
into effect about two and one-half
years ago."

Vermillion, Nov. 1.-THE author
tiles of Clay county are making ef-

is wanted on the charge of issuing
worthless and forged checks on quite
a large scale. He formerly was a
resident of Clay county. Hanson has
recently been operating in Freeman.
Lesterviile, Memo. Mitchell. Yank-
ton and other places, and in addition
to Clay county, he also is wanted in
several other counties. He has cir
culated a large number of checks,
some of them in his own name and
endorsed by him. while to others he
forged the name of II. o. Hanson,
his brother. All the worthless and
forged checks, so far as known. were
drawn on the First National bank OF
Vermillion. Soon after the frauds
were detected the young man disap-
peared.

BRIDGE BONDS
YANKTON COUNTY VOTES To
SPAN THE MISSOURI RIVER.

Yankton, Nov. Twin the larg-
est vote ever polled in the county and
general interest al a high pitch.
Yankton county yesterday voted TO
issue S3O0.0 900 in bonds TO aid in the
construction of a bridge across the
Missouri river near this city. There
was a net majority OF Sol for the
proposition. In the three precincts
of Yankton the vote was: For bonds.
1855, against bonds. ga.
According TO guarantees placed on
file this county aid fund cannot be
used unless a railroad is constructed
from the north part of the county.
The real project behind the bridge
deal is the building Of a railroad line
from the northern part of Yankton
county TO Omaha. and the Yankton
hackers of the bridge and railroad
claim that both deals will be fully
financed at an early date. Senator
Ed s. Johnson was one of the active
figures in pushing the bond issue.
In view of Omaha's efforts for sew
eral years 4 get a north and south
line from Yankton TO Omaha, il is
the feeling among local business men
that Sioux City will soon show a re-
vival of interest in the much dis
cussed Niobrara cutoff. III this cut
off is built the Yankton territory still
would be much closer to Sioux City,
even with the south route open.

WEEPS AS
AERWARRIORS RETURN

. TORONTO, Ontario, November 2l.-
One hundred and fifty disabled soldiers
were welcomed home today from the
trenches in France. Although the hour
of arrival was secret, great throngs
crowded the streets through which au-
tomobiles bore the heroes, invalided,
manned, or blind, to a convelescent
home. All were veterans Of the first
Canadian contingent which left here in
August, 1914. Many had been in Eng
fish hospitals since the battles around
Ypres last spring. A few will probably
return to the front after a long rest,
but most will be cared for until re-
covered, taught new occupations, dis
charged and Pensioned.
A great dinner was attended by prae.
tically all of the returned soldiers, and
by leading provincial and civic officers.
Great satisfaction that they had been
able to do their share early in the war
and that their country was now ready
to do its utmost lfsr their, future as
expressed by the soldiers who appear
ed much more cheerful than when de.
parting. ~
The. crowds today were also much
more demonstrative than a year ago
There was wild cheering and public
weeping. 1t was the first big homec ON
ing from the war and surpassed even
the rejOicings when the Canadian regi.
ments returned from South Africa.
