IDLE PLANT TAX ILLEGAL
In a Decision Judge Grimm Sustained
Contention of Rock County
Sugar Company.

Janesville.-In decision Judge
Grimm sustained the contention OF
the Rock County Sugar company that
their assessment of 100000, levied by
the town of La Prairie upon their
plant, idle for the last year, is Illegal
At the meeting of the board of review
of the ownership the company pro
tested that their plant was overas
sessed and without the presentation
of evidence to the contrary the board
failed TO make a correction. The com
pany took the matter to court upon a
writ of certiorari. A new assessment
must be made, which will be the basis
for tax collections in 1914 and 1915.

OConnell company the WISCONSIN ou-
preme court upheld the contention OF
the company and the Wisconsin In
dustriaI 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, namely: The employee
was injured; such injury grew out of
and was incidental to Lis employment;
such injury was not caused by wilful
misconduct"
In the instant case Hoening was
working ON 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.
NC COuiIuISSIOil, Ill d ulClllOA anu &lLi
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 a deci-
sion under the workmen's compensa-
ton act death from sunstroke has
been decided not to be under the act.

for kidnapping and Hanging
Of Leo M. Frank.
Milledgeville, Ca, Aug. 1S.-Prison
officials here are held to be blameless
Leo M. Frank from the state prison
farm, in q statement given out last
night BY r. e. Davidson, chairman of
the state prison commission. Mr..
Davidson, with Commissioners Rainey
and Patterson, was here to inspect
the penitentiary when Frank was
| seized.
The commission has full power, not
excepting that invested in the gov
| ernor, to conduct or order any investi-
! CATION.
Mr.. Davidson's statement said that
, as the band worked SO quickly and was
30 well organized, and Immediately
upon its arrival at the prison SO com
| pletely controlled the situation, that
mo responsibility rested upon either
! the commission or anybody at the
farm
Some comment was heard here yes
terday as to why the 1ynchers had to
deal with only five men-the warden,
| the superintendent, two guards and
d LIuSLy III charge cl TIE gate.
That Warden J. T. Smith and SUI
| perintendent j. M. Burke were power
! less with the facilities they had at
hand when the band arrived is not
! questioned here. Burke says the mob
completed it's work in five minutes;
Smith says five or six minutes. First
all wires were cut at the prison.
Then Warden Smith was made pris-
oner while another squad handcuffed
Burke and led him to the gate they
wished to enter. A command to the
"trusty" to open the gate was de-
INJURED to, but a threat to kill him
quisk1y gave the gang easy access to
the inside. AS the gate was opened,
guard came up, but he was overpow-
cred, as was the second one encou1l-
tered. Frank was seized by five men,
, according to most reports, hurried out
side and thrust into an automobile
along with a long rope that dangled
before his eyes.
