Compensation Bill
, Ready for Congress
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-A tentative bill
abolishing the present common law and
statutory liability for the personal Injury
and death of employes In the service of
Interstate railroads and substituting defi
nite compensation Irrespective of negli
gence was completed, today by the federal
employers' liability and workmen's com
pensation commission.
The commission Intends to recommend
this, measure to congress. It will hear
representatives of both sides on the merits
of the bill, beginning next Thursday.
The bill provides that In the case of all
Injuries medical and surgical aid, not ex
ceeding t-00, shall be furnished by the
employer, and that where a disability ex
tends beyond fourteen days the employe
shall receive the following compensation:
For injuries resulting In total perma
nent disability, such as the loss of both
legs, both arms or both eyes, 60 per cent
of his wages during the remainder of his
life.
For permanent partial Injuries, such as
loss of arm, leg, or one eye, GO per cent
of his wages for a term of years extend
ing from thirty months to seventy-two
months.
In case of temporary total disability he
is to receive a like amount during the
continuance of the disability; temporary
parUal disability, 50 per cent of the Im
pairment of his earning capacity.
All these payments are to be made In
monthly Installments. In case of death,
periodical payments are to be made to
the widow, children and other specified
dependents.
Removal of Queues
Sanctioned by Edict
I'liKIXG. Dec. 8. An imperial edict was
Im-ued today' sanctioning the cutting oft
of queues.
The rebels are levying tribute on and
obtaining subscriptions from Peking of
ficials who draw Imperial salaries, but
fear to sympathize openly with the revo
lution. i The rebels freely say they Intend to
dynamite and attack Peking. Soiae ar
! rests have been made but the govern
ment is practically powerless, owing to
;the timidity of the official class.
The student class Is powerful In China
and Is enforcing extreme demands be
cause of the racial timidity of the elders,
who would lie content with the limita
tions members of the court have already
Imposed upon themselves.
Precautions are being taken tonight
against a rising of the Manchu troop
because of dissatisfaction over the re
cent's seemingly compulsory retirement
and the prospect of all Manehus, In con
sequence of tl.lt lining their pensions.

Taft Entertains
Nine Governors
QUINCT, 111., Dec. 8.-tS,ecial Tele
weatern governors who are making a trip
'through the east exploiting their re
spective states arrived here at noon and
spent a busy day from the time they left
ithelr special train until they departed In
lit after midnight.
I Many '-of the governors attended the
National Rivers and Harbors congress.
while others took sightseeing trios ami
called at the While House during the
'afternoon
Tonight they were entertained by Pres
ident Taft at the first formal dinner of
the official season. In addition to the

City Council May Be Entirely Re
organized Next Monday.
MAY DEPOSE JOHN FRANEK
! Miller Appears to Have
Strangle Hold t nn teles Knnash
to Arrompllsh ( taste la the
It? Administration.
The city council may be reorganized
next Monday night. All day yesterday
rumor was rife as to the complete re
organization of the aldermanlc body and
the subcommittee of the council.
Since the disintegration of the "Big
Four" last Monday mailt, politicians
have come to the conclusion that the
new majority Is not the mere cohesion of
a dlfgTuntled quartet, but the well
I'lHiined coup of a wise and keen wltted
leader.
Basing their judgment on the appear
ance of things the inside guard claim
that John Franek, president of the coun
cil and present leader, will be deposed
next Monday night in favor of one of the
new majority.
As to the one who will succeed should
the reorganization be effected there Is
considerable speculation. Two names
are ptonilr.ently mentioned: Walters and
Miller. Walters himself denied yesterday
that there was anything In the rumor and
professed that his new position In the
council, nanic body would be entirely In
dependent. Another members of the new
power said he was In favor of making
Aupuxt Miller president of the council
In jJace of Franek.
In any case It appears that Miller has
developed strength, not only among his
constituents with whom he has been
popular, but also anions' the new
majority witli whom he is numbered
Discussing the proposed reorganisation
yesterday Mayor Tralnor declared that
he was not certain whether such a thing
could be effected according to the charter
Others, however, said that the council
held the power to change Its president
whenever it chose to do so.
"In Ion Par I nlos Time."
"Union pay? Union time," says August
Miller who now proposes to have a time
clock Installed within the sacred portals
of the city hall.
According to the notions of the little
councilman, a city official should not
look upon duties of his office In the light
of a sinecure. August, very unreasonably
to be sure, thinks that a city official
should spend In his office all the time
provided and Intended by the powers
that made the office.
August says he cannot see why an of
ficial or clerical employe of the city
should be allowed to work or play ac
cording to his own sweet will. "Of
course," said Mr. Miller. "I would not
bo unreasonable In refusing a city of
ficial permission to go to the funeral of
a dead grandmother or such like, but
except in cases of Illness I know our
officials ' are all too honest to collect
money for the time not spent In the
service of the city."
In order therefore to keep check on
til things and to reduce the forces of the
city hall to order and economy It is In
tended to Install a time clock In the city
hall. y
