Lump Compensation
Is Held Not Final

Lincoln, Neb., May l2.--1'he state
supreme court rejects the theory OF
employers and insurance companies
that where lump sum settlement ~
made with an injured worker, that
ends all liability for injuries.
The decision wa made IN the case
Of an Omaha worker. who lost an eye
and was paid 81 ,62i, which is the full
settlement under the wOrkmen's conf
pensation law for such an injury.
Later, the worker developed tuber-
culosis from which he died. His widow
claimed that the disease resulted
from his injury and that she Is en-
titled TO additional compensation. The
court sustained this position.

TWO ENGINEERS
WITNESSES FOR
BELL COMPANY
Testimony Bears Out Claim
of $45, 900, 900 VaIua-
ton.

James G.. Wray, head of a Chicago
firm of consulting engineers, and
Cyrus. G. Hill, an associate, appeared
today as witnesses for the Indiana
Bell Telephone Company In its fight
to resist reduction, by the public
service commission, of present rates
and to support its plea for in
creased tariffs.
Wray and Hill were subjected to
direct examination by William H.
Thompson, Bell attorney, and then
cross-examined at length by Pre-
siding Commissioner Samuel r. Art
man and Taylor Z. Groninger, the
commissions counsel. Testimony Of
the two, in the main, bore out items
on which the Bells claim OF a
$45. 900, 900 valuation was based. and
which would justify higher rates.
Edward w. Bemis, special public
service commission engineer, was to
take the witness stand later to offer
his estimate on the value Of the COM
pany. using average prices from 1916
to 1920, inclusive.
Bemis' testimony will mark close
of the commissions investigation Of
rates and services Of the Bell.
preparatory to instituting a new rate
schedule throughout the State.
Later this week the Bell will present
witnesses to fortify its claim for
rate increases totaling more than
100000 a year.
