OFFICER ADAMS WIDOW NOT tt
RECEIVE COMPENSATION

The Court has handed down an opin-
ion and order in the claim case Of
Ruby E. Adams against the Mayor and
Council Of Frederick City, upon an ap-
peal from an order of the State In
dustrial Accident Commission, revers-
ing the order of the commission and
disallowing the claim.
1t will be remembered that after
the killing of Policeman John H. Ad-
ans by VIM. A. Stultz, on August 8.
last, Mrs. Adams applied to the State
Industrial Accident Commission for
the benefit of the Workmen's Compen-
sation Act. The commission allowed
the claim, and ordered compensation
to be paid her by the city of Frederick
at the rate of $14.85 per week for the
period of 336 ITO weeks. The Mayor
and Council through their attorney,
Edward J. Smith, appealed to the Cir
cult Court from this decision and or
der, and the case was argued before
Judge Glenn H. Worthington several
weeks ago.
Owing to the pressure of work in
the court no opinion in the case was
filed until Wednesday when in quite a
lengthy opinion Judge Worthingtor
reviewed the law of the case and de-
cided against the allowance of the
claim.
After referring to the state of the
law regarding the status of policemen
and sheriffs, before the passage of any
of the Workmen's Compensation Acts,
by which it Is shown that neither sher-
IFS, nor policemen were ever regard
cd as Servants" or "workmen," or
employees" as those terms are under
stood In the law, but that they were
considered public officials whose duty
It was to exercise some part of the
state sovereignty in the enforcement
of the law, the preservation of the
peace and good order of the communi-
ty within which they exercised their
powers, and to perform other duties
of a governmental nature, the opinion
states that such being the established
law before the passage of these COM
pensation acts the courts could not
change the law or that status merely
to meet what might be deemed hard
case under the compensation laws
Unless the compensation act clearly
indicated policemen and sheriffs, ano
others appointed to aid in enforcing
the police power, these officials could
not be considered as coming within
the purview of the act.
The opinion states further that the
purpose Of these modern enactments
is to compensate workmen, those de.
pendent upon their labor, in all cases
Of injury to them, and as policemen
and hremen, and sheriffs, are moi
"workmen" or employees" or "ser-
wants." as those terms are well un'
derstood in the law, they are not in
cluded within the scope or purpose OF
the act.
The opinion says that the money al
ready paid under the order of the COM
mission cannot be recovered and ex'
presses regret that it could find nc
way to allow the claim, but that in his
opinion the language of the act would
not permit of that construction.
In all probability the opinion and
order handed down by the Court will
be taken before the Court of Appeals
at its next session, it was announced
Friday morning by States Attorney
Aaron r. Anders.
