Industrial Accident Decision,
Case with Peculiar Bearings

Chairman Eben +. Littlefield of the
Industrial Accident Commission We'd
nesday rendered a decision in the case
OF Edgar t. Flint of FoXcroft, guardian
OF Annie +. Macklin, widow of Judson
L. Macklin, versus the Union Water
Power Co. of Lewiston and the En-
ployers' Liability Insurance Co., in
surer. 1t is ordered that the respondent
pay weekly compensation of $50 for
a period of 800 weeks from Feb. H.
1916, to Edgar T. Flint, guardian Of
Annie f. Macklin.
Judson L. Macklin, husband of Annie
F. Macklin, died in the Central Maine
hospital at Lewiston as the result of
blood poisoning or infection of a fin
ger, which was injured in the employ
of the respondent. But the wife, An
ME F.. Macklin is an inmate of the
Augusta State hospital and the ques-
ton arises whether she was de-
pendent of Judson L. Macklin.
Chairman Littlefield says;
ut is argued that the wife was not
dependent upon the husband at the
timeof his deCease. 1t is true that she
was taken then and still continues to
be cared for by the State, and it is
also true that a small balance from the
sale of her estate remand at the time
of his decease. She had no home and
only small sum with which to pay her
board for a short period when she
would have become subject of char
ity, and it cannot be claimed that be-
cause a husband dies on Monday and
his wife has money with which to pay
her board until after the funeral or
until the week following, that the wife
is not dependent or that it is the intent
of the law that this should be so.
at is certain from the evidence that
the separation was compulsory from
December. 1911, and from the facts
presented the husband would have
been liable to contribute for the sup
port of the wife when her funds were
exhausted.
THE respondent contends that the
claimant has failed to show depend
ency The widow claims dependency
but cannot testify in person as to any
facts which must govern her rights,

the testimony of others sufficient facts
to satisfy the commissioner that the

A touring car owned by Hon. Blaine
S. Viles and driven by his chauffeur
met with a slight mishap at about Ito
Wednesday morning at the corner OF
Water and Bridge streets but luckily
the consequences were not very serious.
The car had just come up Water street,
and apparently in rounding the spindle
in the square the wheels skidded on the
oily pavement and the car collided
with the standard light pole on the
corner in front Of the Hersom Bon
sail store. The bumper took the force
of the blow and saved the front of the
car from damage although it was
somewhat bent. and one Of the forward
wheels was caught under the bumper,
but that was soon released and the
car was sent away under its own
power.

ever, and became superintendent 1t
bonosville, and three or four wears
ago was made agent of the Edwards.
We get all this from our recent
trip to Lewiston. Until Mr.. Stewart
came to the Edwards the mill was
unpopular In Augusta. This is a
capital city, but it is not wholly
urban. The previous agents have not
always been tactful nor popular
there used to be one agent who rode
down to the mill every morning about
o'clock in an open carriage and
under c plug hat. The people charged
the Edwards corporation for its
agents front by heavy taxes. Now.
as we understand it, the present agent
is personally very popular with the
townsfolk and the authorities in the
city are giving the corporation a
square deal.
The whole Edwards property has
not been revamped. There remains
much to be done with the buildings
and some few things with the
machinery. The mill enjoys the full
flow Of the Kennebec river at this
point-a large water power, but some
time In the future considerable
iiiohey nust De spent mere, as the
power is generated by an old log
dam, onto which every winter 1t is
necessary to cart several hundred
loads of gravel
But the progress of the Edwards
is shown in an advance on it's shares
from s25 to above $50, and also to the
fact that it is not easy to buy 10
shares at any quotation. Two things
greatly favor Edwards stockholders
at this time, viz: the capabilities Of
its agent and the pride of the COM
mission house to succeed with its
only present failure.-American Wool
