CAN MOTORMAN -.
RECOVER DAMAGES?
Case Decided In New York Implies
Only When He 10 on
His Car.

A recent decision of the New York
supreme court, appellate division,
| third department., while not directly
deciding the point, seems to imply
that there can be no recovery by q
motorman under the hazardous occu-
| patton clause Of the workmen's COM
pensation act unless the employe at
| the time of the injury was actually
operating his car.
Plaintiffs decedent had finished his
days work and was about to take a
car Of the company and proceed to
| a jeweler to have his watch tested.
This was in accordance with the rules
i of the company who paid for the test.
A passing automobile struck tho
motorman as he ran towards his car,
according to the court.
can accident arising out Of and in
the course of the employment Of the
deceased would be an accident aris-
| ing out Of his employment as motor
man in the operation of a street rail-
| road car, while actually engaged in
such hazardous employment. The
) contract Of insurance. under the
statute, was to protect the deceased
against accidents arising out Of and
| in the course Of the hazardous en-
ployment in which he was engaged,
and the accident did not result from
anything which occurred in reference
| to such employment, but from the
action Of a third person lawfully
| using the public highway in common
with the deceased. He was not an
employe within the definition, be-
cause he was not at the time of the
accident engaged In a hazardous en-
ployment in the service of an en-
ployer carrying on or conducting the
same upon the premises or at the
plant, or in the course of his employ
ment away from the plant. He was
not engaged in any service of the en-
ployer whatever"
Judge kellogg in a concurring opin-
ion states: II do not think the inter
state received his injury while per-
forming any part of his duty as an
employe of the appellant. If the pre-
vailing opinion means that there
could be no liability unless me de-

while he was performing any service
for the master, connected with and
growing out of his employment and
a part Of his duties as such employee,
it is immaterial whether he was ac-
tually operating his motor at the
time Having his watch tested was
not a part Of his service to the mas
ter. He was simply performing a
condition which 1t was necessary for
him to perform to qualify him to re-
main in the employment"

The session last night was thorough
ly enjoyed by both men and women.
Miss Ellis is thoroughly at home on
the lecture platform, no matter how
big a crowd confronts her. In fact the
bigger the class, the better she feels
and therefore the better she can talk
and cook. There was plenty Of baked
ice cream and sailed almonds for
everybody present last night.
Miss Ellis handles all of her foods
daintily and makes them look attrac-
tive. This was fully eXemplified In
the individual salads she prepared
this afternoon. Another salad lesson
is on for Friday and another pastry
lesson. Miss Ellis also announces a
bread lesson for Friday and says, 81
do not think too much Importance can
be given to the making of bread" She
learned her bread method from an
English bread expert and shows that
making homemade bread is worth
every woman's while and need not be
a. bore. In her Friday afternoon lee
ture she will talk on the value OF
bread as a food.

Miss Cora Alice Miller Took Thirty
Four Grains Of RIchIorde Of
Mercury on Sunday

SHE DIED THIS MORNING

Health.

Dependent over years OF Ill health,
Miss Cora Alice Miller, 12O South
Ninth street, took thirty-four grains
Of bichloride Of mercury in tablet
form at her home on Sunday after
noon, and as result died at Graham
hospital at 7.35 o'clock this morning.
The poison was taken about 4:30
o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Dr.. J.
R. Wedel was not called until about
700 o'clock, but it is doubtful that in
slant reatment would have saved her
life, as one grain Of bfchloride Of mer-
curry Is enough to cause death in
time.
Miss Miller has been i'll for years
with stomach trouble and compiled
tons and during the past few months
had been unusually Respondent, ac-
cording to her mother, Mrs. H. L.
Breitenstein. Everything possible had
been done to cheer her up at her home
but this proved in vain. She had been
under the docor's care since last June.
According to her mother, on Sun
day afternoon she was lying down, at
her home. Complaining of feeling Ill,
she arose and went to her room on the
second floor, where she evidently took
the poison.

however, did not confess her act and
the family did not suppose she was
In a serious condition at the time.
About 1900 o'clock in the evening, DR..
Wedel was called and upon examina-
ton. discovered the cause Of her sud
den illness.

Miss Miller then confessed to the
doctor that she had taken the b1-
chloride of mercury with suicidal In

over her physical condition. She told
DR.. Wedel, according to his story, that
the poison had been in her trunk for
the past eighteen months or two years
and that she had taken 1t from that
hiding place on Sunday afternoon.
She said that she had not purchased
Il herself, but that a friend OF hers
had secured it for her some two years
ago from Englehard's drug store. She
had saved it since that time.
DR.. Wedel ordered her taken imme-
diately to the hospital where every
remedy was tried. None was sue
cesful in staying deaths hand, and
after lingering in critical condition

end her sufferings. !
There was practically no hope OF
saving her life. Bichloride Of mercury
