HooSier Laws Don't Award
Damages to Policemen
Hurt '0n Duty

The value Of three or four toes
Indiana depends altogether on a
mans occupation.
Take a machiniSt for instance! If
he should lose three or four toes in
an industrial accident he would be
repaid partially for his loss through
the states workmens compensa-
ton act.
But Claude Lucas, az, of Danville,
state policeman, stands chance of
losing his toes, paying a good-sized
hospital and doctor bill, and will
not receive one penny for his loss
in line of service.
Forced Into Ditch
In fact, Lucas is at the mercy of
the state of Indiana, and all because
a motorist on Dec. 6, 1881, forced his
motorcycle into ditch while he
was patrolling state highway No. "a
near Speedway City.
1t is only because of the humane
ness of Secretary of State Frank
Mayr that Lucas is drawing q sal
airy of $125 monthly while in the
Methodist hospital.
Mayr says he will continue to
keep Lucas on the pay roll. Doctors
fear that the toes on Lucas right
leg may have to be amputated.
Compensation Barred
The Indiana workmen's compen-
sation act excludes police of the
state from participating in it's bene-
fits. Because of this, police of cit
les and towns form relief organiza-
tions in their departments to care
for illness and injuries in line of
duty.
Efforts were made in 1881 legis-
lature to pass bill enabling state,
city, and county police to partici-
pate in the compensation act, but
the bill was killed in committee.
Lucas even has less advantage
than city policemen in recovering
damages.
Not Kicking at Breaks
The state of Indiana is proof
against judgments by constitutional
right.
Cities and towns, however, can
be sued for damages by policemen
injured in line of duty.
The motorist who struck Lucas
is judgment proof, too, due to pow
erty.
But Lucas isn't kicking at the
breaks"
They've been fine to Ime at the
hospital and at the secretary of
states office" he said. st can't
complain. 1 don't know what I'd do
if I wasn't still getting paid my
monthly salary" he said.
Lucas is married and has three
children. He has been a state
policeman since Mayr took Office.

Troops first were sent into the
field last August to enforce prora-

control of the field before Governor
Sterling took it over, late Thursday
issued proration orders of their own
which for the present are the same
as Governor Sterling's.
The authority is going to stay
with the military in anything
necessary to control the field and
maintain order" Governor Sterling
said. 1.-THE military viii have MOTH

wells of Constantin and Wrather
except to protect their property, if
necessary. These wells will be
treated as separate from the re-
mainder of the field. They will be
