MARRIAGE AND COMPENSATION Commissioner Scott Makes In teresting Decision in a Washington Case The State Com- V \ \ f Pensation Hoar J, missioner Scott. award of com- W tnDDDQK pensation to Nan ■ Washington coun- IRijj*' Charles Catlin, for whose death by accident she made a claim, was her husband to all intents and purposes, and that John Catlin, her grandson, whom the dead man had cared for. was likewise a member of the house hold and entitled to compensation. The claim was raised by the insur ance carrier that Catlin had been married to another years before and had three children, but that his wife had deserted him for another man. Catlin and the claimant were married in 1902 and the Board says: "There being no evidence in this case to show that the first marriage had not been dissolved by death before the deceased was'married to the claim ant, the second marriage can not be said to have been illicit." The Board has also affirmed a pre vious ruling that "heat stroke or prostration artoing from labor condi tions produce such physical changes in the tissues of the body as to be rersonal violence to the physical structure of t' J body." In the ca-v or Kaplan vs. Enter prise Company, Philadelphia, the Board has upheld Referee Scott and itjles that a messenger found dead at the bottom of an elevator shaft after having been sent on an errand was in the coui>se of employment. The opinion says that the referee found the elevator safety gates out of re pair and that the elevator, while em ployed for freight, was sometimes used for passengers by employes.

HAS GREAT HOST OF MEN [Continued Frm First Page.] tlrst dctchment to Kurope within six weeks from the day the necessary authorization issues from Washing ton. If desired, the entire cost of mobilizing and equipping these men ! can be met from private funds, whlßh have been used in settling the heavy expenses of enrollment. For raising and sending troops to France, an unlimited amount of money is available, offers to date ranging front ! small individual contributions to one from a group of capitalists in a Southern city, pledging any amount j up to $1,000,000. Would Bo Junior Brigadier In any command that he may be permitted to raise, Colonel Roosevelt has no desire for higher rank than ) that of the junior brigadier, the ] other brigadiers, as well as the major i general commanding, to come from the regular army. From the regular 1 army would also come the colonels of the volunteer regiments, many of the staff officers, and. with the ap ! proval of the War Department, a sprinkling of noncommissioned otfi | cers who would receive lieutenants' commissions. The Colonel has let it . become known that his idea would be to raise two divisions of three brigades each, each brigade to consist of one regiment of men from the regular ; army and two to be recruited from ! the host who have asked to be allowed to accompany hint. If. however, the War Department should think it well to raise an army corps among men not affected by the new conscription law, he is prepared to supply them from the lists of those now enrolled. In these lists the cowboy element. 1 which made up so large a part of | the Colonel's command in the | Spanish-American War, is not as | conspicuous as the general public has supposed. There are compara ' tively few of these, mainly because ; in the years that have elapsed since ; San Juan Hill the cowboy type has I become scarce. In their places are ( clerks, bankers, brokers, lawyers and I engineers, the percentage of men having annual incomes ranging from $2,500 to $50,000 a year being re markable. Substantially none of j them has relatives depending upon J his earnings. Army Names on List. Just as remarkable is the list of names of the regular army officers i who have been tentatively sched ! uied for service in the command. lOn this are many famous arrrwv names. For example. Captain Philip I Sheridan is scheduled to be made a ' colonel. Captain Fitzhugh Lee would I command men from Texas, Captain I Nathan Bedford Forrest, son of the i famous Confederate raider, would also be a colonel, and Lieutenant | Thomas Jackson Christian, grand ! son of Stonewall Jackson, would | have a high rank. From private life would corno 1 many men who have achieved promi nence. Among them Robert Bacon. : former partner of .T. P. Morgan and ; ex-Ainbassador to France: Henry L.

I could not do my work without protecting my hands, ana I would fee nearly crazy when I put them in water, or stood near the stove. One arm was very much disfigured. I suf fered four or five months.

COUNTIES TO TAKE UP ROAD OFFER Nearly a Score Agree to Go "50-50" With State in High way Construction K Nearly a score of Pennsylvania counties have entered into agree ment with the State Highway De partment to "go 50-50" with the State in the construction pf arterial thoroughfares, and the majority of these counties arc in Western Penn sylvania, where interest in roads is greater this year than ever before. The counties which will spend dol lar for dollar with the Highway De partment include Allegheny, Greene, Beaver, Lawrence, Erie, Butler, Armstrong, McKean, Cambria, West moreland, Luzerne and Tioga. I Contracts between county and 'State authorities for construction of new main roads in these counties have already been signed; and in I several instances bids have been ad vertised for. In one or two other counties bids have been opened and contracts may be let within a few days. Plan Extensive Work The Highway Department's an nouncement some days ago that par ticular attention would bo paid this year to the completion of main roads, and the closing of gaps between al ready built sections, is responsible for the activity of many of the 1 "50-50" counties. Among the West ern Pennsylvania counties im-luded in the list shown above are several through which the proposed Peary Highway will pass. This highway connects Erie and Pittsburgh anil the counties through which it passes declare that the completion of a per manent main road will hasten the construction of the laterals, or side roads. In the case of Cambria county, the construction of seven miles near Johnstown will result in a permanent I highway from that city to the Wil liam Penn Highway at Ebensburg, and Commissioner Black and Chief I Engineer Uhler Saturday assured j Johnstown and Somerset county peo j pie that the Johnstown-Stoyestown road, conecting Johnstown with the [ Lincoln Highway, will be completed within two months. At least a dozen other counties are expected to close their "50-50" con- I tracts with the Highway Department I before June 1. Despite reports to the contrary Chief Engineer Uhler this morning declared that road work this summer will be under taken on a large scale.
