Compensation Claim Denied

The award for compensation filed
with the Industrial Commission by
Peter Rheaume on August % 1920,
in which the city of Watervilie and
Corporation Ltd. were made re-
spondents, has been ordered dis
missed as agreed between the parties
and the petition filed against the
Aetna Life Insurance company. With
the commission on April s, 1921 has
been denied for want of sufficient
evidence to establish a claim to COM
pensation on account of the injury
alleged therein. This decision was
handed down by Arthur l.. Thayer,
chairman of the Industrial Accident
commission on May "A.
The injury to Mr.. Rheaume was
alleged to have happened five years
ago. While he was at work for the
city. He claimed that he was push :
ing sewer rods through a sewer to
clean it and slipped when straining
to push the rods through and rup-
tured both sides. The attested copy
Of the petition for award was not
received by the respondents until
September >, 1920. An informal
hearing was held in October 1920
and was continued to allow the petit
toner to amend his petition as
meanwhile the industrial business of
the city had been transferred from
the Employers Liability Assurance
Corporation Ltd, to the Aetna Life
Insurance company and in the
amended petition the latter company
was included as a defendant.
The amended petition stated that
the accident occurred on the middle
day of April 1919 and the injuries
were described as practically the
same. The Aetna Life Insurance
company by its attorney, Charles J.
McGraw in answer to both of the
plaintiffs petitions, states on infor-
nation and belief. Peter Rheaume
did not sustain personal accident
while in the employ of the city of
Watervil1e and that no notice of any
accident was given the city of Wa
terville or the insurance companies
in accordance with the Maine Work
mems Compensation law and at a
hearing held in this city on April %,
Mr.. McGraw asked that the petition
of the plaintiff be denied on the
grounds stated above, which was
done.

| of 176 words a minute at the Thomas
Business College yesterday afternoon,
while the eager students watched the
performance of this prince of typists
with wonderment.
One hundred and seventy six words
minute. Faster than ones wife
! talks when one forgets to bring home
the beefsteak for dinner. Faster than
two young flappers converse when
they meet the morning after the
dance the night before. This count
gives for the words above quoted 1856
characters and II shifts, or 747
strokes minute, which is IL 1-2
strokes a second Attempting to tap a
desk with a. pencil at the rate of 10
strokes a second will convince one of
the difficulty of Mr.. Pfrommer's per-
Torrance.
But the versatile demonstration did
not stop with memorized material. He
wrote $50 words in one minute from
one of the typewriter speed tests
which are part of the regular work
at the Thomas Business College, and
then varied his performance by writ
ing 107 words minute from what is
known as heavy copy" that is. ma
teriaI of about the character of an
article in the Literary Digest.
At this point Mr.. Pfrommer in
troduced into his demonstration a
running conversation with the Bust
ness College teachers, answering
questions and making interesting and
at times humorous comments, all the
while writing. and when the time
keeper called stop it was found he
had written ordinary new material at
the rate of IA words minute.
Then just TO show by comparison
the difference between the speed he
had maintained and that which is
considered excellent by most average
Office workers. he wrote for half a
minute at the rate of so words min
ute--good. ordinary matter, just like
what appears in this newspaper. Now
so words n minute is no laughing
matter. but everybody laughed. in
Guiding the demonstration. 1t was like
| driving behind an ox-team after
speeding behind a six -cylindered car.
! To show that there was no magic
! hidden away inTthe machine. Mr..
Prommer picked at random a type
writer from the Thomas typewriter
garage. and after few seconds
workout, just to sort of get acquaint-
ed with the machine. he wrote at the
rate of 12S words a minute.
| The students of the business col
lege and other persons who weer prf-
vileged TO witness the demonstration
were greatly delightd at Mr.. Pfrom-
mcr'S work
He is a very modest Young man,
and all he had to say when he asked
for special copy in French or any 9TH
ier language using the ordinary Ro-
man letters was

! The demonstration was also given
at Fairfield, Oakland. and Winslow
High schools, and was marked by
great appreciation by the students
and teachers of these schools, as well
as at the business college in this city.
