COMPENSATION BILL
. FOLLOWS PRINCIPLES
n ". ~. Of SUCCESSFUL ACTS
Tenneson Measure Almost Exact
Duplicate of Law in Force
in Michigan

While The compensation bill intro
duced IN the house Saturday by Rep
resentative B. G. Tenneson. Of Far
90, does not carry out the admins
tration's ideas. it follows very closely
the lines laid down by successful
acts which have been in force in
Michigan. Wisconsin, Massachusetts
and other states for number OF
years, and it is said to meet with the
general approval Of employers.
= One feature OF the act which may
tend to popularize it with the present
legislature is the fact that it exempts
farm labor from its provisions. This
has been done in a majority OF states
which have adopted compensation
acts, on the ground that all farm la
Dor is more or less casual
The bill does not provide compul-
sorry compensation law. but one whose
acceptance is optional on the part Of
both employer and employe. If the
employer does not accept he loses his
old common law defenses, under
which he could allege in opposing an
action for damages that the employe
was negligent. or that the injury was
due to the negligence OF a fellow en-
ploye. or that the employe had as
sumed the hazard incident to his oc-
cupation. III the employer elects to OPP
crate under the compensation act and
the employees do not, the status re-
mains exactly as at present, with all
these defenses available

compensation, beginning on the fif-

The bill also provides that at the re:
quest Of the persons operated upon, it
would be mandatory on the part of the
surgeon to send to the dean of the
medical college parts cut out during
the operation SO that the dean may re-
port to the person operated upon the
nature of the sickness or trouble.
The measure also requires list

Saturday proved an off-day for Bry-

minutes after Willis E. Bryan and his
son. Leon Bryan, had been assessed
fines of 5000 apiece upon pleading
guilty to maintaining a common nuis-
snce and blind pigging. jury
brought lin verde, awarding Miss
Margaret Mcclellan damages in the
sum OF $50 against Bryan & Son for
injuries sustaining while riding in one
OF the firms ta1i-cabs last February.
Miss Mcclellan was being trans
ported 10 her home on East Broad
way when the car in which she was
riding hit a two-foot rise left by the
sewer contractors at Thirteenth street.
The taxi at tina, time. according 10
various witnesses. was making from
twelve to twenty-five miles an hour.
Miss Mcclellan was thrown against
the top of the car and in descending
struck her lower jaw against the top
Of the front seat. loosening three
teeth and inficting other injuries.
Negligence upon the part OF COM
mon carrier was alleged in her action
for damages. The judge in instruct
ing the jury laid emphasis upon the
fact that the civil code prescribes a
speed limit of ten miles an hour for
motor vehicles within the corporate
limits of any organized town. and the
driver, by his own testimony, was ex-
ceeding that limit when the accident
occurred.
The Bryans were among six Bis

Buenos Aires, Jan. 22.-Absence of
reports OF depredations Of the German
commerce raider and the fact that the
Gordon OF Allied battleships and the
South American patrol ships which
are out TO-. preserve neutrality have
not reported as having sighted the Ger.
man raider, today led to the belief that
the raider has changed her field Of
operation. : 49,,
Ten days ago the Hudson Maru was
dispatched to Pernambuco by the raid
er, and this, is the last word that has
been received by the South American
authorities Of the raiders activities.
Five Entente Allied steamships,
searching for the raider, have been
variously reported between yarovac ho
and Yachare looking for the German.
1t is reported here today that the Chill.
can navy, has been called out for Wig
orous patrol duty. ~, .'-~
Discussion Of an allied patrol for
all Entente allied shipping leaving
South America was heard here today.
Under such a scheme, Entente allied
men-of-war would Assem- BILE at Lisbon
and at Pernambuco and the allied
men.of-war would accompany the En-.
tente allied commerce all the way
across the Atlantic. Arrangements
were being made today for the trans.
fer of the crew and passengers of the
Hudson Maru, the prize that was sent
here by the German commerce raider,
loaded to the guards with prisoners
who had been taken from the crews
of the victims Of the raider, back to
their homes. Many Of these prison.
ers were to be transported on the

BILL IS PASSED
Rep. Walton and Speaker Wood
Introduced Measures for
Non Partisan Ballot

Following out the recommendation
for a nonpartisan ballot, made by Gov
ernor Frazier In his inaugural mes
sage, Representative Anthony Walton
and Speaker Wood introduced a bill
late Saturday afternoon which pro-
vides for no more party candidates il
it becomes measure It's passage in
the house is certain.
Under the provisions OF the bill each
voter shall be entitled to vote such a
ballot without reference TO party af1i-
liation. The two candidates for NOM
inati0n TO every such office receiving
the highest number OF votes shall be
placed upon the general election bal.
DOT without party designation.
When two or more persons are to
be elected to the same Office the num-
Der OF nominees to be placed upon the
general ballot shall not exceed twice
the number of persons to be elected

all candidates nominated for any Of
fee shall be placed upon the ballot

shall be designated on said ballot the
number OF candidates for each office
for whom each elector is entitled to

The bill seeks to do away with all
parties such as Republican, Democrat |

would seek to force electors to ascer. !

and policies OF the different candi.
