DECISION ON
RISK LAW is
EXPLAINED

There appears to be widespread
misunderstanding regarding the ef-
feet of a recent decision of the
supreme court concerning penalty
provisions of the Workmen's Com
pensation Law, r. E. Wenzel, mem
Der of the commission, said today.
The matter before the court, he
said, had nothing to do with the
penalty provisions that apply for
failure to make reports Or failure to
pay premiums, but dealt solely with
the application Of Section II of the
law, and relates to claims by work
men injured while working for an
employer who. has not compiled with
the Compensation Law by the pay
ment of premiums to the Fund.
Section II specified that an award
made against the employer by the
Bureau in such case, if not paid
by the employer within ten days,
became a liquidated claim for dam
ages, recoverable against the en-
ployer in an action in Court, plus
50 percent additional. The answer
OF the court, Mr.. Wenzel said, was
that this part of the law was un-
constitutional, but otherwise sus-
tained the award Of the Bureau.
In order to replace the unconsti-
tutional provision by one that is
workable, the Bureau has now rec
commended that the law be changed
to permit the allowance Of expenses
and attorney fees to the claimant,
he added.

TAKES LIFE
AFTER H0LDUP
Robbery Believed to Have
Worried WillistOn Tran
sient

Williston, n. D., Dec. 3O.-Robert
Hatton, transient, about % years of
age, committed suicide in his room
over the laundry here. The fact did
not become known until yesterday
morning when the owner of the
building tried the door and found it
oolted from the inside and knowing
that Hatton had not been seen about
in the preceding "a hours called the
sheriff, who together with Him,
broke in the door and found Hat
tons dead body fully dressed lying
across the bed, with one revolver
grasped in his hand and another re-
volver on the dresser near the bed.
The coroner was called and due to
the fact that the door was closed
from the inside the windows intact,
there was nothing to say only that
the man had taken his own life.
The revolver left on the dresser
was fully loaded and the other car
ried two empty cartridges, evidence
for the two wounds, one above his
head and one in his temple.
Ht OWUcI VI tIe tcSll-
fled that about five o'clock Christ
mas morning he had heard two re-
ports that sounded like shots but
owing to the continued noise from
the near by railroad yards, has paid
no attention to them.
On the dresser was found roll
of bills containing $48. In the dead
mans pockets was found silver in
the amount of $1O.50.
A card game which was in progress
in the basement of a building a
block away from the laundry had
been held up about half hour be-
fore the two shots were heard.
One Of the participants of the
card game reported that the man
that held up the card game brandish-
two such weapons. 1t is believed
that Hatton held up the players
bringing the money home with him,
committed suicide rather than face
capture and consequences.

FOR
1923 BOOM IS
GIVEN START
Leslie M. Shaw Argues That
1t Would Not BE Third
Term For Him

Omaha. Neb., Dee. 30.-The first
boom for President Coolidge in 1928
was launched today by Leslie NJ.
Shaw. former Secretary of the Treas
ury, in speech prepared for deliv-
cry here before the Nebraska Bar
Association.
1t was launched in constitutional
argument to show that the president
would not be running for a second
term, question which had its last
public discussion during the candi-
dacy of Theodore Roosevelt III 1912. -
Mr.. Shaw's argument was that un-
der the constitution president can
only be elected; that a vice-presi-
dent although taking on the duties
nf the presidential office always re-
mains vice pres ident and that while
through the death or disability Of
a president vice president may be-
come president de facto under the
constitution he never .. can become
president de jure, except By election.
"When President Coolidge receives
the nomination four years hence,
said Mr.. Shaw. at must not be
claimed that he is seeking a third
term"
