awarded compensation to Mrs. Agnes

was found shot dead while on duty

there Is no presumption in favor of
suicide nor of injury by third per-
son for personal reasons and holds
that 1t is a compensate case.
The question of what part q bonus
should pay in compensation came up
in the case of Anderson VS.. Aetna
Explosives Company. The son of the
claimant was killed by an accident
while manufacturing explosives and
it was the custom to pay bonus for
those who worked continuously for a
month, the plan being general in its
application. Commissioner Leech
says that he does not regard the
bonus as gift or gratuity and holds
that this bonus was as much a part
of the wages and contract of hiring
as If expressly incorporated into writ
ing" He adds: I'VE do not believe
that an employer can change the
real character of its relation to it's
employe or limit it's liability by call

and another portion bonus"
In the case of Rib VS.. Foreman,
q Titusville case, the chairman in an
opinion on review of an agreement
says: I'VE can not be called upon to

balancing of probabilities" and says:
This agreement cannot be regarded
lightly nor can it be the subject of
frivolous attacks"
The board has dismissed appeals
in these cases: Swoyer VS.. Frick Coke
Co., Pittsburgh; Burket VS.. Hecker-
man, Bedford; Nalewajko VS.. Jones
&c Laughlin Steel Co., Pittsburgh;
Locjard VS.. Williams Co., Indiana. in
