I cases were taken up. ' Among the moat
J Important was that of Leslie Allen, a
colored convict, who was sentenced to
"w iicuiieiiuary juarcn iu, jsutx, ior a term
of twenty years for the murder of an
other man In Omaha. Allen was living
with a young colored woman without
taking the trouble to have a marriage
ceremony perrormea. Lee Jarrett, an
other colored man, . claiming to be a
brother of the woman, came to live with
them and some time after Allen discov
ered that more than brotherly relations
were being sustained between the man
and the woman. He . called Jarrett to
account and a quarrel ensued. Knowing
that Jarrett had a revolver, Allen went
downtown and bought a gun of his own
and came back and renewed the quarrel
which resulted In the death of Jarrett
at the hands of Allen. '
The board split on the recommendation
for a commutation of sentence, Yeiser
and Butler voting for a commutation to
ten years, which would with good be
havior allowance, let Allen but April 10,
1913, but Maggl opposed the commuta
tion, stating that while there might have
been extenuating circumstances, he did
not consider them of sufficient import
ance to warrant any cutting down of the
sentence.

Asks Better Equipment. '
j The Fremont signal corps of the Ne
i 'braska national guard would like a llt
itle better equipment than it has at the
present time and therefore Captain Henry
Jess called at the office of Adjutant Gen
eral Phelps yesterday to see what the
prospects were for a request of that
kind to be granted. The corps would like
an equipment of the "A" class, which
includes two sets of wireless telegraph
Instruments, which, though' of low power,
will transmit messages eighteen miles. A
requisition was made fout for the equip
ment and sent to the War-department at
Wfljthlnsrtnn..
The Interstate Commerce commission
has sent to. the Nebraska Railway com
mission for the complete record in the
express rate cases.

known as the "beer bottle corner"'- case,

I turned from several weeks' sojourn on

I said Mr. Odell this morning. "There have
been several .things which have turned
' the people against the progressive candl

at Governor Johnson, Roosevelt's run
ning mate, because he has spent bo much

his absence the business of ' the state
has been neglected and also that his
presence Is needed to bolster up the pro
gressive cause. Another thing which has
hurt the cause of Mr. Roosevelt is the
action of the courts in disfranchising the
Taft republicans. ' As the cannot vote
for President Taft, they will almost to a
man vote for Mr. Wilson, thus insuring
the state for the democratic nominee. .
This same decision of the courts seems
to have effected the whole northwest
section and the result is that the Taft
republicans will vote for Mr.. Wilson i
preference to seeing Mr. Roosevelt win

Guye Makes Report
On Labor Accidents
In State Factories
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct 16.-;Special.)-Labo
Commissioner Louis V. Guye has pre
pared the following statement covering
accidents which have occurred in Ne
braska in institutions which come under
his jurisdiction:
In reporting upon the Industrial acci
dents which have occurred In Nebraska's
Industrial life during a period of one
year dating from October 1, MIL to
October 1, 1912, which is baser upon the
factory inspection law, which provides
that all fatal and serious accidents must
be reported to the bureau of labor, and
In commenting upon this report, Com
missioner Louis V. Guye says that this
report includes but aproxlmately 60 per
cent of the accidents really occurring,
owing to the fact that the law only pro
vides for the reporting of the serious
class.
The report shows that 318 persons have
been injured during the last twelve
months, fifty-eight of which proved fatal.
mus snowing that m.il per cent or the
trtal number of reported accidents lost
their lives. The total loss in time occa
sioned by accident was 5,676 days, which
based upon an averacre dallv wajre of
2.50 makes a total of $14,190, thus show
ing one accident for every working day
with one death for every 6.3 days throug
out the entire worklne year.
The factory Inpectlon law Is Intended
to safeguard the health, life and limb
.of the workmen. The safeguarding of
machinery being one of its chief func
tions, in commenting upon this feature
Commissioner Guye says a careful com
parison of our report by months shows
that the accidents occurring in the in
dustries have gradually decreased, such
in his judgement being due to the safe
guarding and general precautionary
methods which are being employed in
our industrial life. For illustration, in
the month of October, 19H, the date of
the beginning of our system of inspec
tion and reporting upon the accidents
occurring in the industries, we have
eighty-seven Injuries reported upon, while
in the month of September, 1912, the last
month reported upon, we have but
twenty injuries, and this after a more
thorough understanding of the necessi
ties for making said reports, so that it
is very apparent that this law Is rimvlne
of great benefit both to the employer
and the employee, throueii the minimiz
ing of Injury, thus minimizing the meas
ure of misery and distress on the part
of the workmen and the ordinary finan
cial loss occasioned thmurh norsnnnl In.
Jury suits instituted by the employee.

Arnold Schneider of the Fremont foundry,
was strucR by an automobile driven by
H. Bell, a farmer living north of town
at the comer of Fifth and Broad streets
this morning about 8:30 o'clock and will
probably die.
Mrs. Schneider was crossing the street
going south on the east side and Bell
was coming down Broad at a high speed.
Some witnesses place It as high as twenty
miles an hour. He slowed down on reach
ing the crossing and turned toward the
left Mrs. Schneider was north of the
center of the street on the crossing when
Bell blew his horn, only six or eight feet
away. She turned and was almost in
stantly struck by the right lamp of the
machine and was dragged between the
wheels a distance of from twenty-five to
thirty-five feet before It was stopped.
Bell immediately ran for a doctor and
the woman was picked up unconscious
and bleeding from the head. Her skull
was fractured and she sustained internal
Injuries. Marks on the pavement show
that she was struck considerably to the
left of the center of the street and the
point wher Bell finally stopped the car
was also to the left of the enter An
other man was in the car at the time and
while he cannot give the rate of speed,
says they came down Broad street pretty
fast and slowed up suddenly.
