Leech. Harris married the first in 1902, but desertsd her, and in'l9lG married the second, who had; two children by q, former marriage. The commissioner affirms the actirn of the referee in awarding compen sation to the children even though the deceased was not their father, because he had sto&d in relatiim of parent to them. , Mr. Leech ha) also affirmed Referee Jacob Snyder.<who awarded compensation to parets of Harry Bradley, a Hastings ntiner, killed while in the mine in %him he ! wtrked, but not in the part where L,Ve was ordinarily engaged. In the course of his opinion he says: "Dis obedience of rules or orders or di rections or regulations is no defense to a compensation claim." A num ber of appeals are dismissed in other orders. .
