LUSITANIA NATTER,
BEFORE CABINET TODAY
Latest Communication from Germany
Is to be Considered.

Washington, Feb. President Viii
sen will take ea-up with his cabinet to-
morrow the latest draft of the pro-
posed communication which Germany
hopes will bring the negotiations over
the Lusitania disaster to a terInina-
ton satisfactory to the United States.
Official indication or announcement
whether the offer Of the Berlin gov
ernment is satisfactory is expected
soon thereafter.
The president did not request Secre-
tary Lansing to come to the White
House for a conference today and the
conference which had been planned
did not matetrialize. The secretary
expects to discuss the latest proposal
with the president tomorrow and it is
believed in Teutonic diplomatic cir
cles that Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, may be summon
ed to the state department some time
during the afternoon and informed of
the decision Of the United States.
Confidential advices received today
from high official quarters are to the
effect that expressions of optimism
regarding the outcome of the negotia-
tions which have been heard in GER
tain official and diplomatic circles are
not without foundation. Chairman
Stone, of the senate foreign relations
committee, declared after comforting
with administration officials that he
believed the case was practically set
tied"

RENEWAL OF FIGHT
AGAINST GEORGE RUBLEE
A Recess APpointee on the Federal
Trade Commission.

Washington, Feb. Renewal of the
fight against George Rublee, of Cor
nish, N. H, now serving on the fed
eral trade commission as a recess ap-
pointee, was forecast today when Sen
ator Galilnger, during an executive
session of the senate demanded a
committee report on the appointment.
Senator Gallinger who led the oppo-
sition during the last session of con-
gress, has declared that Mr.. Rublee Is
personally obnoxious to him.
Mr.. Rublee was nominated a year
ago and when congress ADJOURNED a
month later without confirming him,
he was given a recess appointment by
President Wilson. The appointment
was referred to a sub committee of
the Interstate Commerce committee, a
report from which is expected within
a few days.
Democratic senators suggested today
that he action of he republicans in
renewing opposition to Rublee just
now indicated a purpose of coupling
a fight against him with efforts to
block the confirmation of Louis D.
Brandeis' nomination to the supreme
court.

A NEW INTERPRETATION OF
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION ACT
Previous Condition of Health of Per-
son Injured is ImmateriaI.

Boston. Feb. IA new interpreta-
ton of the workmen's compensation
act, involving possible grave econo-
mic consequences of far reaching eff
feet" was made by the full bench
of the supreme court today, when it
ruled that the previous condition of
health of person injured while at
work does not affect the amount of
relief to be afforded under the act
The case was that of Mrs. Honore
E. Madden, an employe of the NJ. j.
Whittall carpet factory at Worcester,
who suffered an attack of angina pee
toris while pulling a carpet. The court
noted an argument that the harm that
the employe was due in large part
to a previously weakened condition of
her heart, but held this did not lessen
the employers liability.
Discussing its decision. the court
stated that arguments had been
made that grave economic conse-
quences of far-reaching effect may
follow from the act thus construed. 1t
is said that persons not in good health
may be excluded from employment
while the cost of conducting CONNER
cial and industrial enterprises may be-
come prohibitively large. These con-
siderations are of great public mo-
ment but they relate to legislative
questions"
