MACKEY RULES IN ALIEN S CLAIMS Says Consul Can Not Set Aside Pennsylvania Statutes Harry A. Mackey, chairman of the 1\ \\ Ayy J\ State Compcnsa 1> \\\ Board, has [KSx\\\ia J ruled for the pur of informing 'lj consular represen jl tatives of various r*jp f-j QQ SL-fc foreign countries jJAjWwwtov Sthat the board wiilol3l!JiOlLi! "cannot grant priv lieges nor tonfer (jffJ extensions of time contrary to the plain provisions of the law." This ruling was made in regard to the filing of claim petitions by the Swedish vice consul at Philadelphia, representative during the war of Austria-Hungary, so as to safeguard Interests of dependants in Austria w-hen any citizen of the empire was killed In Pennsylvania industry. Mr. Mackey says that while the com pensation act provides for protection of dependants of aliens "it does not contemplate the tolling of the statute of limitations of one year as provided by the act except by the tiling of a claim petition or the execution of a compensation agreement alleging sufficiency facs that, if unconverted, would constitute the basis of an award where death occurs by accident in tho course of employ ment the dependants of the deceased or a properly constituted representa tive may file a claim petition which must allege s.ll the material facts necessary to an award and set out who are entitled to recovery because of dependency upon the deceased." Mr. Mackey says, "The consular representative of Austria-Hungary cannot tell the statute of limitations by filing a mere suggeston with the bureau that an Austro-Hungarian subject has been killed, who may have dependants in a foreign coun try. I am -writing this letter so that! the rights of no one will be defeated by relying upon the filing of any similar petition as proposed by the Austro-Hungarian consul's represen tative." Studying System.—lnquiries as to the manner in which physical train ing is carried OP as a part of the course of instruction in the schools of other States is being made by the committee in charge of establishment of such a course for the schools of Pennsylvania on the part of the State Board of Education. The committee has assembled considerable data both as to methods and results and will make a report to the State Board in a short time. It is possible that the course will be established this winter. Smallpox Decline.—Reports to the State Department of Health indicate a marked decline in the number of new smallpox cases and the aid given by railroads and companies employ ing large numbers of laborers, espe cially those from the southern States, is credited with aiding materially in reducing the cases. During June there were forty-three cases re ported. but only fourteen during .Tuly. The disease is now prevalent in only three or four countries. Jitncymon "Kick."—Over a dozen applications for certificates for the operation of jitneys are being filed a week at the Public Service Commis sion. Some weeks the number runs higher. The commission has had numerous protests against the appli cations, 'ncludir.g quite a number from jitneymen who have taken out certificates and who object to what they term "raids" on their routes by persons without certificates. Investigating Fire—The State Fire Marshal's Department to-day began an investigation of the fire which destroyed the Fishburn mill and damaged four houses at Penbrook. Incendiarism is suspected. Borough Complains—The borough of Wyomissing to-day entered com plaint with the Public Service Com mission against the rates charged by the West Reading Water Company for fire service. The borough con tends that a charge of sl2 per hyd rant and S2OO for each mile of pipe is in violation of an agreement of $lO per hydrant made last year. The charge is made that the company notified the borough that rates for private consumers would have to be increased unless the borough paid more. Another Sues—Frank T. Matthews, of Philadelphia, candidate for court No. 5. has brought a mandamus against the secretary of the com. j monwealth to require fiiling of pa-j pers. The papers were refused, on the ground that Matthews was too late. Employes Reprimanded For Violation of Rules Discipline bulletin No. 4 72, issued from the office of Superintendent N. W. Smith of the Middle division, shows that 15 employes were repri manded, an equal number sus nded from one to two days eaen, one freight brukeman was dismissed from the service on account of hav ing misrepresented their ages in order to obtain employment. This discipline was administered during the past week and the offenses against the rules and regulations were minor in their nature. „ A "Regular" King Is KING OSCAR 5c CIGAR Because he rules with favor.
