DR.. Suyehiro thought that it would
be the height of absurdity for Japan
to pick a quarrel with such a great
country without sufficient casus
belli. Japan should stand for an open
door policy in the Far East, but in re-
turn she should receive similar treat
ment in Indo- China, Canada. Aus

America had been excluding Japanese
migrants but he thought 1t very doubt
full whether she was sufficiently
justified in so doing. Japan
he said should strive to have the
United States correct her attitude not
by brute force but by appealing to her
sense of justice and humanity. and this
he applied with equal force to British
and French territory where discrimina
tiop against the Japanese is in force.

MRS GRIFFITH LOST CASE
Supreme Court Holds Death by Light
ming After Close Of Days Work Does
Not Make Employer Subject to Pen.
altes Of State Liability Laws.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Dec. 30.-One of the very
interesting cases which has come be-
fore the Iowa industrial commissioner
and in which his finding was sus-
tanned by the supreme court of Iowa
was that of Mary l.. Griffith VS.. Cole
Bros, and the Employers Mutual Cas-
ualty Association, which is cited in the
annual report OF the commissioner Of
the workmens compensation service.
This case grew out of the death Of
e. L. Griffith, husband of the plaintiff,
who was killed by lightning while with
a bridge gang of which he was fore
man down on Skunk river, q few years
ago. when he was struck by a bolt OF
lightning and killed while standing in
the opening to the tent in which the
gang made its headquarters.
He was in charge of the gang of
workmen and also of the cook tent.
Late in the evening after all Of the
duties of the cooking tent were dis.
charged. he was--struck by lightning
and killed.
Much expert testimony was intro
duced in an endeavor to prove that
hazard to the workman had been in
creased By the fact of the close proxi-
nifty of pile of steel rods used in
fence running for a considerable dis
lance each way, and that, therefore,
it arose out Of the employment.
1t was commended that part Of the
duties Of Griffith was to close the tent
by tying the flaps thereof before re-
firing to the sleeping tent little re-
moved, hence his days work was not
completed until this was done, and
that, therefore, it arose during. the
course Of his employment
Taking it for granted that cooking
the meals and caring for the table
equipment was part Of the employment
had been discharged definitely closed
the days engagement. it was Hfgued.
and to hold that the death Of Griffith
by lightning, while resting from his
labors in tent provided by his en-
ployers. for the. purpose Of cooking and
serving meals, hours after his days
work was done. was in violence to
law and logic.
The matter was first before an arbi-
tration committee and compensation
was denied and their, finding was
affirmed by the industrials commits
sioner.
The case was then taken into the
district court of Story county where
the commissioner was reversed and a
verdict Wound for the plaintiff.
The matter was then appealed to the
supreme court Of Iowa and tho lower
court reversed and the bindings Of the
commissioner affirmed.

Iowa Makes Remarkable Showing IN
Christmas Canvass.

Christmas Canvass.
Special to Times Republican.
I, Des Moines, Dec. 31.-Iowa is MAX
ing a splendid record in the Red Cross
roll call and, the final reports will
show an enrolment Of over million
and half Red Cross members. Final
reports received from IS out Of 1877
chapters and preliminary reports from
the balance show a marked increase
over last years enrolment of adult
memberships and with the Junior en-
,rollment added will make a truly re-
markable showing in spite Of the hand
leaps OF SF1u'' and bad roads, The
final total will be one that will be in
keeping with loves past record.
Rural communities are reporting to-
tails far in excess of those Of last year
and many chapters in rural commune
ties have more than doubled their last
years record. The larger cities with
some notable exceptions like Fort
Dodge, Dubuque. Burlington and coun-
Gil Bluffs, are having more or less dif-
ficulty in reaching last years enroll
'ment. While Webster county was the
first county to report a 100 per cent
enrolment, Dickinson county. so far,
has the honors for largest percentage
Of enrolment, as the report from that
county shows 1913 per cent Of the num-
her set as the goal. Madison county
reports a 100 per cent plus member
ship with more to comei Chapters
that have been unable to complete the
roll cali on account OF the influenza
situation will be granted additional
