cites the tragedy at Lima in which
two children were burned to death
and their mother was seriously in
jured through an explosion of gaso-
line which had been left in the house

this fluid indoors. The awful conse-
quences of this case, he says, should
be a warning to those who persist in
doing dry cleaning inside their dwell
ings. The grandmother of the chill
dren, supposing the gasoline to be
water, put It on the stove.

ment of dry laws and statute to

Reargue Liability Questions.
Reargument of certain questions in
the workmen's compensation law is
being heard by the supreme court.
The court divided on phases Of the
questions involved at a prior hearing.
The questions involved relate to the
open liability feature of the law. The
legislature could not take from the
injured workman his right to sue in
court if he chose to do so, and that liza
) bility is open for employers and can
not be covered by the state insurance
; fund. Some employers want to buy
! liability protection to cover that fea-
ture and the liability companies are
anxious to handle it. II the initiated
law now waiting for introduction in
the legislature is passed, any decision
the court may render will be of little
value, as that law would shut out from
every part of compensation underwrit.
ing by any liability company.
