(Cleveland and Jefferson, Ohio, papers please con.) URGE TRAFFIC LAW TO HALT PEDESTRIAN Flatbush Doctors Say Motorists; Should Not Take All Blame for Accidents. SOCIETY SEEKS SANE TRAFFIC. Eagle's Effort to Create Proper Regulations Is Warmly Indorsed at Meeting. Still another gun was fired for sane speed ordinances at a meeting of the Flatbush Medical Society at the Eighteenth District Republican Club, on Church avenue, last night. Not that the doctors are anxious to have special legislation for the medical though there are times when doctors feel they should belleresard speed regulationsbut they something should be done, to frame laws that will put burden of being careful much on the shoulders of the pedestrians as it does on the shoulders of the motorists.

Recently several doctors have been stopped while hurrying to patients. Among the number was Dr. David R. Lloyd, 1516 Beverley road, who is the vice president of the society. Dr.

Lloyd's case was thrown out of court, and in view of the injustice done, he offered the following resolution last night: "In view of difficulty in the interpretation of the present ordinance regulating speed traffic, and whereas the full burden of responsibility la placed upon the autoists, the Flatbush Medical Society protests against the inequality and asks for a revision. It favors an ordinance which penalizes a pedestrian for walking or crossing the highway at points other than street erossings or car stops." The resolution follow along the genelal lines laid down in Wasington, which has before been mentioned in the Eagle. The motion was passed, and it was decided to send a copy to th Medical Society of the County of Kings and ask that body to help the fight towards sane traffic regulations. Dr. Morris W.

Henry, secretary of the Flatbush organization, said today: "We believe that the Eagle is doing work in its effort to obtain sane traffic regulations. Carelessness prinelpally is responsible for accidents in city streets, and i nthe majority of cases the pedestrian is to blame. While it is true there are men driving cars who never should be allowed in a machine, they are in the minority, and the average autoist is a careful driver. believe that all owners should be made to pass an examination. Not an examination that lasts half hour, but one of several days.

"Anyone who wishes to drive a car should be made to show that he is at in al machine. Experience is not he only thing that counts. I know men ho have owned and driven cars for years who always are nervous while driving. Such men in the end will be caught in a tight box and will meet with an accident. They never should be allowed to drive.

"It is not 80 much the speeding of automobiles that causes the trouble, but the recklessness of some drivers, the tendency toward joy riding and the carelessness of pedestrians. There are many times when a pedestrian in an absentminded way starts to cross a street only to be rudely awakened by an automobile. pouestrian, as a rule, blames the tutomobilist and not himself for the udden awakening and says things about 'he driver that would not look nice in print. If the pedestrian was made to that he also was being held responsible for breaking traffic regulations there would be few accidents." Among the prominent Flatbush doctors it the meeting were Drs. Thomas B.

Hegeman, president; David R. Lloyd. Morris W. Henry, Burt D. Harrington, W.

B. Ludlam. W. B. Zimmer, Hartwig Kandt.

A Manhattan soprano, Gertrude Auld, gave a concert in Aeolian Hall last evening, In a rather short the created a distinctly high impression by her voice, her artistic delivery and musical intelligence. In colorature she was specially successful. That was not a matter of wonder since the soprano has sung with acclaim in opera in several Italian cities; it was, however, her first appearance in Manhattan, and, perhaps through her singing before many friends, she was a trifle nervous, that unfortunate failing being noticed in her first numbers, such as Rontani's "Se bel the Pergolesi, giorne" and tu m'ami" and Scarlatti's "Le Violette." The singer, however, shone indubitably in following numbers, such as the "Nightingale" recitative and aria, from Haendel's "L'Allegro Edil Pensiero," with flute obligato by L. de Larenzo, and in other numbers.

The difference between the idealism of the Italian and the realism of the Flemish art, in the pictures of the Nativity, was emphasized, and the incomparable color of the great Venetian masters shown in the adoring figures of the richly-clad magi surrounding the Holy Child, was dwelt upon, while the symbolic meaning of pomegranate or bird often held in His hand, was shown to possess great interest. Dr. Roselli supplemented his reference to "the Precipio" by the statement that Italian parents everywhere provide tor their children, at the Christmas season, cardboard or papier mache figures, with which to arrange pictures or scenes of the Nativity in as artistic a manner as possible, thus furthering the course of religion and art. The musical numbers were contributed by Miss Anna Malmquists, who played delightfully a Brahms followed Rhapsody and a Chopin Nocturne, by a "Fisherman's Song" and another selection by Chopin. The usual social half hour followed.

COMPENSATION BILL A RADICAL MEASURE It Provides for Payment for Injuries Sustained in Over Forty Occupations.

BASED ON WAGES RECEIVED. State Commission Is Created and Is Given Almost Arbitrary Powers by the Statute. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, December 13-The Legislature of 1913 came to an end last evening, after enacting some progressive legislation, over which New York State legislatures and courts had haggled for years. In thirty seconds bills that had been talked of for a decade were made laws of the State. The new laws passed under the party lash of Tammany were as follows: (1) The Workmen's Compensation law, authorized over the objections of the Court of Appeals at the November election.

(2) A new Direct Primary law, abolishing the State nominating convention, but retaining the party organizations intact. (3) A Massachusetts Ballot law, which will cut down the size of the ballot and vil which the names of candidates will appear but once and in alphabetical order. The party emblems have been retained, so that the illiterate can vote, as heretofore, but to vote a "straight ticket" will be harder than before. (4) A law by which the question whether a convention to revise the State Constitution is to be called in 1915, or not, is to be submitted to popular vote in April, 1914. This may lead to the adoption of a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution.

(5) Financial legislation, by which large amounts of public funds were appropriated to cover "deficiencies," including $160,000 to pay for the Sulzer impeachment, instituted by the same Legislature, and $150,000 to pay the preliminary expenses of the new Workmen's Compensation Commission. (6) A law making the State Legislative Bill Drafting Department permanent. Provisions of the Compensation Bill. By far the most important of the laws is the Workmen's Compensation Bill, which was passed unanimously in Assembly, on what is called a "short roll call." and Dy a vote of 35 to 6 in the Senate. Tne compensation bill, which takes final effect as a law on January 1, 1914.

is signed by Governor Glynn. it gives the employers a choice of four difterent ways of meeting the obligations imposed by the law. They are: Payment premium to a special State fund out of which dagames to injured employees will be paid. (2) Insurance with a private casualty insurance stock corporation. (3) Protection through a mutual assoelation of manufacturers.

Deposit of securities or furnishing of proof to the State Compensation Commission of adequate financial responsibility sufficient to pay all contingent accident liabilities without insurance. Forty Groups of Hazardous Employments. As finally amended the bill contains some forty groups of employment called hazardous, and all employers engaged in any of the listed industries must, when the law takes final effect, furnish proof to the State Workmen's Compensation Commission of ability to meet obligation under the law in one of the four ways described above. Failure to do SO means a fine of $1 per day for each employee. The ways in which employer can meet liabilities for injuries to workmen have been enumerated above.

The payments, which are to be calculated on the basis of the weekly wages reecived at the time of the injury, have been fixed at twothirds the wage amount, which is higher than amounts allowed in other States, where it is but one-half. For total permanent disability such as loss of both hands, both arms, or both eyes, the payments are to continue "during the continuance of such total disability," or what amounts to the remaider of the employee's life. In the case of temporary, total of partial disability, such as will prevent the worker from earning anything for the time being, the payments are also to be two-thirds of the wages, but a total maximum of $3,500 is fixed for such payments, and no payment is to exceed $20 week for temporary disability. The same rate has been fixed for permanent partial disability, such as the loss of limbs that are not absolutely essential to re-employment, but the length of time during which the two-thirds of the wages are to be paid has been limited in accordance with the nature of the injury. The periods vary from fifteen weeks for the loss of a little finger to eighty-eight weeks, or a little over a year and a half.

for the loss of a leg. Death Payments Based on Wage Received. In case of death the payments are also to be calculated on the base of the wages received, but they are also to vary according to the family circumstances. Widows are to be paid 30 per cent. of the wages during widowhood and for two years after remarriage, but no longer, and additional payments are to be made to children until they are 18 years old.

The bill provides for the establishment of a State workingmen's compensation commission. consisting of five commissioners. to be appointed by the Governor land confirmed by the Senate. The term of office shall be five years. The board will have almost arbitrary power in justing claims.

The salary of the chairman of the commission is to be $10,000, and the salaries of the other commissioners shall be $7.000. The salary of the secretary shall be $5,000. The principal office of the commission will be in Albany. The bill creates a State insurance fund. This fund is to consist of "al premiums received and paid into the fund, of property and securities acquired by 'and through the use of moneys belonging to the fund and of interest earned upon moneys belonging to th fund and deposited or invested as herein provided.

Such fund shall be administered by the commission without liability on the part of the State beyond the amount of such fund, Such fund shall be applicable to the losses sustained on account of insurance." The State Treasurer is the custodian of the fund. A surplus and reserve fund shall be established and this may be invested in certain ways. Every employer must keep a record of all injuries and report them to the State Commission. The bil is to take cect January 1. 1914.

It provides that the chapter relating to the payment of compensation for injuries or death shall take effect July 1, 1914. NEW W. C. T. U.
