GOOD COLLEGE TEAM

Small College with Successful Ath-

OBERLIN, Ohio, Feb. 5.-"The stage

director of athletics at Oberlin college,
declared in a statement today.
THE smaller the college and the
more successful the athletics the
greater is the feeling of distrust," he
said. "Such conditions threaten the
entire structure of inter collegiate
sports. 1t is time for faculties, adj
ministrators and governing bodies to
consider these things"

Director Savage declared the atti-

"This policy of the east has been a
terrible incubus upon the progression
of the rest of the country" he said.
Charges of crookedness, professional

JAIL TEETH In NEW
COMPENSATION LAW
Gov. Miller Signs Bill to Fine
or Impr1son Employers Of
Uninsured.
ACT COMPLETELY REVISED
list of Occupational Diseases
Enlarged and Care Of In
jured Made Indefinite.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, April l3
The workmen's compensation law is
revised by a bill which Gov. Miller
SIGNED to-day. Every employer and
workman in the State is affected by the
series OF amendments and the substan-
tive changes In the law. which has been
On operation for eight years.
The sixty day period for medical
treatment of injured workmen is out and
new provision requires the employer
to furnish medical care for as long a
time as is required. The employer is
protected by requiring every physician
to report to him the nature of injury and
treatment required
Definite provision is made for payment
of compensation for $50 weeks for loss
of hearing, the list Of occupational dis
eases has been enlarged and the pro-
cedure for proving a claim has been
slmplified. Failure to insure employees
is punishable by $500 fine or imprison-
ment for one year.
Gov Miller in signing the bill filed
memorandum setting forth it's benefits.
in which he said:
1isdt uliiituity has DStH experienced
in prosecuting non-insurcd employers
due to the inability OF the enforcing au-
thority to obtain proof that would stand
in court OF such non-insurance. This bill
provides that the Commissioner may re-
duire any employer to file a statement
with regard to his insurance, and fail
ure to file such information within ten
days shall be deemed presumptive evil
dencc that the employer has not complied
with the law. Upon any subsequent
prosecution the burden of proof is on
the employer. This provision should
result in more effective measures, to pre-
vent the evil of uninsurance.
"One of the most important amend
ments makes it impossible for an in
surance company that has accepted a
premium for insuring under the COM
pensation law to later deny liability on
the ground that the employment is not
under the compensation law.
Another important amendment places
upon contractor the liability for the
compensation for an injured employee
of any sub-contractor unless the main
contractor sees to 1t that the sub-con-
tractor carries compensation insurance
THE bill also provides that city
authorities or any other public author
tiles who are required to issue permits
before building work, street openings
or other work is begun must require
proof that the contractor has compiled
with the compensation law.
