officer was wounded secured for him
the Distinguished Service Order and
promotion to commander.
This senior officer was Hon. Stanley
Colvtlle. AS soon as Colville was
struck by an Arab bullet, the whole
charge of the gunboat iotilla devolved
on young Beatty. Many a man of his
age would have been daunted at the
responsibility suddenly thrust upon his
shoulders. But not so "Davy." At the

Subsequently he was present at the
important battles of Atbara and Khar-
tum; and was twice mentioned in
dispatches. He was also decorated by
the sultan of Turkey Fourth class

decorated by the German emperor.
After Egypt came the Boxer trou-
bles of 1900. Of went David Beatty to
the China seas, in command of the bat
tleship Barfleur. The b~ombardment
of the Taku forts took place June IS,
1900. They opened fire on the ships
of the allies, but in a comparatively
short time they were stormed. A cou-
pie of days later two Chinese field
guns were placed near the railway
embankment, with their muzzles fac
ing the British concession, and fired.
Commander Beatty with three COM
panies of seamen crossed the river and
maneuvered TO within 200 yards in the
hope of capturing them with a rush.
At the same time some Russians
moved out to cooperate.
While the British were waiting for
the Russians to come up, however, a
large force of Chinese appeared to the
right behind a mud wall and poured in
a heavy fire. Beatty was wounded
not only once, but twice-and things
looked very black indeed. The main
force retired, but Beatty was never of
a retiring disposition. Leading a for
lorn hope of 200 ~bluejackets, he made
a desperate attack on the enemy and
won a %captaincy.
This promotion at the age of twenty
nine years lifted him over 200 officers,
just as his previous promotion to COM

"1hc constitutional amendment of
1912, authorized the legislature to enact
compensation law providing for the
creation OF fund to be maintained by
compulsory contributors thereto from
employers, out Of which fund claims for
compensation ON account of injury and
death occurring to employees should be

stance, that when an employer fails or
refuses to contribute to the State fund,
or to comply with that provision of the
act that permits him to elect to pay com
pcnsation direct to his employees injured
IN the course OF employment, employees
shall be entitled to be paid compensation
IN the amount provided by the act direct
from the employer, instead of from the
State fund to which the employer has
not contributed. 1t further provides that
the Industrial Commission shall have
power to determine the amount Of COM

from his employer, and, if it is not paid
within the time specified therein, that it
shall be collected by civil action in the
courts, brought by the State for the

Section % was one of the provisions

INSISTS ON LIVING WAGE.

Washington.-"Three dollars week

Kelway, secretary of the national child
labor committee, in speech last Sun
day evening,
THE old superstition that women
work merely for pin money is exploded, :
he said. MANY women have to work,
and of them mavbc some have to sup
port family. There is no reason, then,
that they should be denied a living
wage, for il they are so denied they are
thrown on their parents, the community
or the charities for support.
THE lesson should be inculcatcd into
the employing class that no industry is
fit to survive that does not pay living
wage"

Fl. WAYNE STRIKE CASE
THROWN OUT OF COURT

Indianapolis.-Judge Anderson of the
federal court has thrown the so-called
"Ft. Wayne strike case out of court, on
the ground that the case should be heard
by State court.
The proceedings were started by a
Philadelphia trust company which holds
bonds of the Ft Wayne and Northern
Indiana Traction company, whose mo-
tormen and conductors are striking to
enforce their right to organize. The
street car company also conducts light
ing plant in competition with the Ft
Wayne municipal lighting plant. To
show their sympathy for the strikers,
citizens who had formerly patronized
the company's plant, began patronizing
the municipal plant, and the eastern trust
company asked Judge Anderson to issue
an injunction against Mayor Hosey and
other Ft Wayne officials, who were
charged with conspiring to injure the
business of the company and make pay
mcnt on bonds impossible.
Judge Anderson has dismissed the
plea on the ground that the street car
company which was not made a party
to the suit, was both a necessary and
proper party to the bill of complaint.
This means that the case, if it is tried
again, must be heard in a State court.
Mayor lIosey charges that the injunc-
ton proceedings was an attempt to put
the municipal lighting plant out of bus
mess. He said:
"We have had nothing to do with the
real cause, the street car strike, further
than to make an appeal to the company
to arbitratc."
Recently tho company asked the mayor
to appoint special police to protect its
property and strikebreakers from pos
sible" violence. The city official answer
ed that as the company had refused to
arbtrate and thereby protect the public,
he did not favor using the public's
money as requested and that the COM
pany could pay for its own police serv-
ice as provided by law

Steam built up our great cities with

will be no necessity for locating near
where the power can be produced the
cheapest, as in the steam factory, be
cause the power can be carried over the
wires.
The factories will then go where the
land is cheapest Electricity will run

The cost is all that is standing in
the way. But the high cost is due to the
limited use of the electrical motor rath-

simple as an alarm clock and should

After the vote was taken Fitzpatrick
stated that the action of the convention
affected only 100000 organized work
crs. This brought about an acrimonious
dispute between him and Gompers to-
ward the end of which Gompers refused
to read to the convention communca-

good as you are remarked Fitzpatrick
to the president before rcsumng his

Fitzpatricks anger was increased

AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION

Under the caption of SOMETHING T0 TALK ABUOT" short article appeared in last Saturday s issue of the Progressive Miner that revealed an un- fortunate condition, in that, many may be subjected to lawsuits involving the expenditure of considerable money besides losing their property that was taken in good faith but apparently held in sufferance The
 litigation that must arise to adjust this matter is to be regretted but under the circumstances, cannot be avoided unless the holders of the lots willingly and paceably abandon whatever right they may be- leve they haye
 In the first place, if the land belongs to the town, the council has right to give it away any more than it would have the right to block street by allowing individual to erect an obstruction therein. The council has right to grant per petual franehise because it is giving away property that belongs only to the present generation, but future generations as VII.
 The article says that the occupants of lots along that thoroughfare failed to file adverse claims with in the specified time prescribed by law when the town applied for townsite patent and therefore have lost whatecer right they may have had to the lots It must be admitted that such is the law If suc, is the case it follows that they must abandon the property if ordered by the council unless they have been in actual and peaceful occupation of the lots ten years since the town received its patent How ever, it may be that the council may lease the lots to the occupants subject to the will of the people.
