ENVIRONMENT IS NOT DEFENSE Interesting Ruling Made by the State Compensation Board in Scranton Case The fact that a V\ \ ® //J claimant's home vv\\ surroundings may \\\\A not have been as 7 sanitary and con dueive to recovery jpMrtiWb from the effects of an injury can not 1 IweirowStoW ,)e ur ß°'l ns n '"l°- r fefJljiljl IIWInMI fense on the part ggSyylMiyJlUfc of ail employer In go contesting a com pensatlon claim, is held by the State Board in dis missing the appeal of the Penn Coal Company, of Scranton, in the claim of Peter Ermel. Ermel was injured and developed tuberculosis of the lungs. The injury was held to have brought on the disease or aggravat ed an existing condition. In another mine case it is held that the claimant was injured while engaged in some "horse pray" which caused a barrel to explode from tsteam pressure and compensation is refused. The widow of Albert Halvordson, Philadelphia, is awarded compensa tion for death of her husband who fell overboard from a lighter owned by the Porter Gildersleeve Company, Philadelphia. He is held to have been the watchman and that the lighter was not-engaged in maritime pursuits at the time. In the case of a widow now con fined in a state hospital for the in sanee it is held that she can claim no legal dependency on her husband and therefore no claim for compen sation because of his death. The Board finds in the case of an em ploye of the Baudwin Locomotive works, who failed to' lile a claim in the required period becauso of pay ments made to him, that it must be shown that the payments were con sidered as compensation. As the act was not complied with an award is set aside. The ruling is made in a mining case that when an employ er "seeks to modify or terminate an agreement the burden is upon <lie employe to show that the disability has changed." The Board dismissed seven appeals and ordered a re-hearing in Brady vs. Booth, Warren county.

MACK'S ""omcii 810 kIAiIKKT STRiSKT CITY'S SCHOOLS ATTRACT NOTICE Harrisburg Plan Considered at State Convention of Educators That the special schools maintain ed in Harrisburg by the school board are attracting stnte-wide attention because of the practfeal and success ful methods used was told to the board yesterday afternoon by Dr. F. E. Downes, city superintendent, in an oral report on the meeting of the Pennsylvania State Educational As sociation held recently at Johnstown. The Harrisburg continuation school was the one which created the most interest in the discussions at the sec tion meetings at Johnstown, speakers commending the school district on | the splendid showing made here even though the school is located iif a two-story frame building. Slides showing charts and other material used at the school have been mado by the bureau of vocational educa tion of the State Department of Pub lic Instruction and are exhibited all over the state. Teachers at the school aie Miss Nora M. Koons, Harry K. Balsßaugh and Mrs. Sarah G. Wor mell. Miss Koons and Professor Balsbaugh spoke at .the educational meeting. At present there are 210 boys and girls enrolled at the Har risburg school. Two other striking features in pub- j lie education work were called to the attention pt the directors by Dr. Downes. One of these was the in creasing sentiment in favor of physi cal education in the schools, prob ably due to the war. Dr. Downes said a bill may be Introduced in the I Legislature at the next session which I if passed will require public school | districts to include physical instruc tion in the curriculum. Ho com mended the directors for approving the proposed changes in supervisory , work which will include provision for this branch of instruction. Vacancy on Board Another feature of the meetings was the widespread interest in the junior high school movement involv ing a complete change in school or ganization. Much of tho time was sper.t in talks and discussions on junior school work. A committee of school directors will bring the matter of filling tho vacancy on tho board to the atten tion of the court.

Hro of insurrections and riots, veteran of Porto Rico and other cam paigns. a familiar figure In all of the National Guard encampments of Penn sylvania for the last two decades, Brigadier General Christopher O'Neill, known popularly as "Buckie," former commander of the old Third Pennsyl vania Infantry Brigade and later of the Fifty-third Depot Brigade which v/as absorbed into the other units of tho Twenty-eighth Division, yester day passed from the command of Pennsylvania troops. An order re ceived yesterday at division headquar ters, ordered him to report at Camp Wadsworth, Spartansburg, S.

CONTROL WILL BE PERFECTED SOON Administration Leaders in Congress Plan For Early i Enactment of Legislation By Associated Press Washington, Jan. s.—Administra tion leaders In Congress went to work to-day to bring about early enact ment of legislation recommended by President Wilson to perfect Govern ment control of railroads and provide for their reimbursement on the basis of pre-war earnings. I Although there were indications of opposition to certain features of the I President's plan as outlined in a bill Introduced soon after his address yes terday, his ideas in the main were re ceived with approval by Democrats and Republicans alike. Changes in the provision that Federal control shall continue after the war indefi nitely or until Congress orders other wise and details of the compensation plan probably will be urged. At the same time Director General McAdoo went rapidly forward with the details of actual operation of rail roads. His decision, reached after a conference yesterday with the broth erhood chiefs, to appoint an advisory Jjoard of four to thresh out the In creased wage demands, caused him to postpone on recommendation of the eastern traffic officials curtailment of passenger schedules. The wage advisory board, soon to be named by Mr. McAdoo, will inves tigate all phases of the Brotherhoods' demands and recommend a course to the director general. Abnormal traffic • and insufficient motive power on the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio and Erie Rail roads are mainly responsible for the freight congestion In eastern terri tory, according to reports to-day to Director General McAdoo from Inter state Commerce Commissioner Mc- Chord. West of Pittsburgh practi cally the only congestion is caused by the inability of eastern roads to accept traffic and move it eastward. A great quantity of westbound empty cars consequently are held up by the eastbound movement. In New England and In districts about New YorU, hundreds of loco motives are disabled and have not been repaired as promptly as commis sion Inspectors believe they might have been. At Boston the New Haven is badly crowded with excess freight, but the Boston and Albany is In much better condition. This situation has i prompted the suggestion that freight should be rerouted over the less con gested lines. Congestion at Cleveland, Toledo, i Columbus and Indianapolis are caused almost entirely by the inability of the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn sylvania to move trains through the Pittsburgh freight jam. The Baltimore and Ohio is reported short of locomotives at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, the Cumberland • region and a number of other points. HARRISBURGERS TO GO TO TRAINING CAMPS [Continued from First Page. [ next best and from whom a number will be drawn as the school pro gresses. Won Their Spurs These men are those who have won their "spurs" in the respective branches of the service in which they enlisted six and eight months ago. The Augusta Chronicle says: "They were the choice of their company commanders and again the cream, of that choice picked out by the examining board so that because of their experience since enlistment and the progress that is mapped out for them, they should be as thorough as West Point graduates as it is pos sible to produce. "The men will be given every chance to apply themselves to their intensive training, as they will not be required to do police ot guard duty of any kind, such as pertains to the kitchen or stables, although, of course, they will be responsible for the condition of their tents and per sonal equipment."
