lapse of his utilities enterprises. It was learned definitely today that Insull, on the Maiotis, was bound for Abyssinia, in the African interior, when the government wirelessed the Maiotis to halt and sent speeding after it the new tor pedo boat destroyer Admiral Kon- douriotis, which has made 40.76 knots in trials and so can steam five miles to the Maiotis' one.
 F. Davidovitch, brother of Mime Zehra Coujoumdjoglou, mystery beauty and close friend of Insull, went to Abyssinia March 1, to make arrangements, while Insull, huddlcd in his bed, insisted he was dying of heart disease.
 MT Coujoumdjoglou arranged with Insults London's agents for money to charter the Maiotis, and actually chartered the ship. The London agents put $10,000 to the credit of A. P. Synodinos, owner of the Maiotis.
 Newspapers charged openly that government officials accepted bribes to facilitate Insulle escape The Acropolis demanded investiga- tion and dismissal of those guilty"
 "In leaving Greece" said the Kathimerinis, "Insull but compiled with a government order. He char tered his own boat to do so. Why is the United States minister an- gry?"
 (Lincoln MacVeagh, American ,t ,ie,ta fn tho ment when Insults departure was learned, apparently having hoped to trap him with an extradition warrant if he lief tby railway as planned.)
 The ease with which the age utilities man duped everyone be- came increasingly apparent. There seems to have been a sort of bid ding contest among people who thought they might aid him to es. cape, and the bid of the Maiotis owners was accepted after due consideration.
 It was learned that Insull had bought considerable jewelry re. gently and that in Mime Coujoumd- joglou's name he had bought the small apartment hotel at which he lived for $20,OO0.
 Toronto, Ont, March 17.-(UP) Martin J. >Insull, former utility magnate, loser in a long fight to escape extradition, wa sin city jail today, waiting the arrival of Cooks county authorities to take him back to Chicago to stand trial on charges which grew out of the collapse o1 the vast Insull utility empire.
 His battle to remain in Canada which lasted more than IF months ended when Chief Justice Sir Will liam Mulock, dismissed his appea against extradition.
 How long Insull would be kept in jail was undetermined. Grown authorities said they had no word from Chicago as to when officers might arrive. He will, however, be kept in custody until their arrival

ternoon after an investigation of mail box tampering by police and postal authorities. The arrest was made by Detective Sergeant Henry Johnson and Lieutenant Detective Joseph Stevens.

 possibility, the legislature wisely nrovided as follows:
 ., "'The pecuniary liability Of the employer for the medical ana
 Surgical service herein required 4 Shall he limited to such charges
 as preyail in the same commun- div or similar communities TOT similar treatment of injured per Sons of a like standard of living
 When such treatment is paid Tor
 Inv the injured persons; but the liability of the employer for nos

 render the service, said amount 10 be determined by the com
 missioner
 "The this particular case Curlye &as in need of assistance ana .he City of Ansonia, rather than place Rim on the charity list, gave him two days work per week, for Whlch he was paid $7.00 per week. Ac- tually he had been employed but 17 1-2 days when he was serious k and permanently injured by be- ing thrown from a truck on which he was riding. He was in the hos nitaI six months. When we con- Nder the limitation placed by the Legislature on hospital and medical charges, the sum of $4,2l3.14 seems unreasonably high.
 "The City of Ansonia is not con- testing its liability for compensa- tion. It must pay Curley five dol lars ($5.O0) per week for ten wears. but it does seriously contest some of the medical and hospital charges. :, T have carefully gone over all of these claims and feel compelled to reduce some of them. Indeed, T would be justified in reducing them still more but the City Of Ansonia complained particularly of certain specific items. However, | do not wish this case to be used as a precedent for the accumula- tion of bills even as large as those allowed. It is only by clear con- ception of the purpose of the com pensation law that the greatest good will come to those for whose benefit the law was enacted.
 And again, if the extremely large hospital and medical bills are permitted it would simply add to the burden of the employer, which in some cases may become intoler- able, with the result that the loss will ultimately fall upon the work man. This cannot be allowed ii 1t Is within the power of the com pensation court to prevent it.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An emergency board named by Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday recommended
a 10 per cent pay increase for brother
hood employees on the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad.
The board. composed Of Davis r.
Dewey OF Cambridge, Mass; Walter
C. Clephane Of Washington, d. c., and
Homer B. Dibell of Duluth, Mimi,
agreed that the railroad was in financial
straits, but said it was up to the car
rier to raise the additional money
needed.
The suggestion was made. however,
that the road combine with a larger
and stronger system, it being pointed
out that the Southern Railway system
virtually owned it, or that money be
borrowed either from private agencies
or the Government.
The findings Of the board, however,
are not binding on the railroad, al
though many lines have followed recon-
mendations of such bodies in the past.
About three-fourths of the Mobile e.
Ohio's $500 employees belong to railroad
brotherhoods or affiliated unions, and
they have threatened to strike unless
the road raises the pay rate.

1t is nearly twice as much as there
is in the United States.
Only by such comparisons Is 1t pos
sible to estimate how much $4,000
600 900 Is. Since the birth OF Christ
1888 years have elapsed. 705,545 days
