WA8HINOTON, May 15. The sennte
listened for nn hour and a half today
to a discussion of the rlRht of West Vir
ginia's governor to establish a military
rone in ills state, to set up martial law
there and to say that prisoners brought
before the military tribunal, created by
him, should bo tried by It Instead of in
the civil courts. Penator Kern's resolu
tion for un investigation of conditions
in West Virginia coal fields, which
brought forth the argument, failed once
more to oomo to a vote. Mr. Kern and
Senator Qoff, the leaders of the fight
agreeing that It bo laid aside temporar
ily, that debate on the question 'of tar
iff hearings might be continued. The
resolutions come up again at the next
session.
"Mother" Jnnon In Rnllrry.
"When consideration of the resolution
was continued, "Mother" Jones and a
number of West Virginia labor union of
ficials occupied seats In the senate gal
lery nnd followed closely the argument
made by Senator Goff, who engaged In
n spirited clash with Senator Borah
author of the original resolution of In
quiry Into the West Virginia situation,
Introduced at the last session.
The discussion concerned the authority
of the governor of West Virginia to Issue
an order declaring martial law, which
closed the civil courts and substituted
therefor the courtmartlal. Senator Goff
maintained that this act was upheld by
previous decisions of the supreme court
of the United States and the supreme
court of Pennsylvania.
"If In such cases," Senator Borah de
clared, "the governor of ttio state can
close the doors of the cour's.and deny
the right of trial by ury when the courts
are able to proceed with cases under
their Jurisdiction and we, the United
MSttttes,TfclT(forcedto sit Idly by and see
itRroceed, we become Mexloanlzed tn
for,ty-elght hours."
Snyn Governor linn KlKlit.
"If there is a state of insurrection,"
Senator Goff replied, "the governor haa
the authority to put the whole state un
der martial law with the commander-in-chief
to control It by his own will. That
Is the law of war."
"There Is not any power 'n this gov
ernment." said Senator Borah, "to sup
plant the civil courts with military law."

Island Railroad company is nol liable ror
the Injury of Miss Klma Johnson of John-
n county, which resulted when a brnke-
man In Its employ delivered i love men
sage, weighted with a signal torpedo,, to
her last summer.
The Iowa supreme court so decided to
day. Prom-the court-record-It-appeared that
Miss Johnson's home was noar the rail
road. It became the brakeman's habit
Jo throw her noten from the train on
whloh he was passing. One day he de
sired to send a message, to the girl and
a signal torpedo was the handiest weight
he could find. A sister of Miss Johnson
carried the torpedo-weighted, message to
her, but In some manner-una dropped It
and was hurt in the explosion.
The court In Its opinion today said!
"I.Ike other departments of government,
the courts are progressing along some
lines. Rut It will be some time before
the courts can hold that a mere act ot
courtship can be deemed referable to
the commands of the employer."
The verdict of the lower court In favor
of the railroad company was affirmed.

i Personal accusations of fee-splitting,
vohement dentals and shouts of. Encour
agement from supporters turned the
morning session of the Nebraska State
Medical association Into a state of tur
moil and excitement and for a while
promised to proclpttato some of the
members Into a free-for-nll fight and
necessitate the assistance of fellow mem
bers In their official position,
The session waft cheduled to close with
general good feeling existing among the
members of the medical profession. A
paper read by Dr. Harold Olfford, In
which he touched on the fee-spllttlns
situation, opened a debate on this Im
portant question and the arguments
waxed so hot the eleotlon of officers,
which wus to have taken place, won en
tirely forgotten In view of the Interesting
topic before the meeting.
Assistant City Physician Langfrfd
maintained the law enacted by the recent
leglslaturo In regard to fee splitting was
unconstitutional and could not bo en
forced, He said there won not a doubt
but that fee splitting was going on n
the profession. The younger doctors find
this an easy way of getting money to
pay the heavy expenses they Incur after
getting out of college and have no
scruples about securing it in this man
ner, he stated.
