The downpour, while adding to their discomfort, was probably the greatest boon the stricken district could have asked, for It extinguished innumerable fires that broke out immediately after ihe tornado had passed. The rescue work was carried on fast and tonight it appears that all the homeless are belns; cared for by char itable Institutions and citizens, while the more seriously Injured have re ceived medical attention. In many cases private homes ware turned Into temporary hospitals. Harrowing stories of tbelr experi encsa are told by survivors of the storm. The scenes in the wrecked sec tions In Terrs Haute brought tears to the eyes of the rescuers, whose atten tion was often called to the dying, trapped lnv the debris of their homes, by agonised screams for aid. Some died before they could be freed from the wreckage, and others, while re moved, will die. Throughout the wrecked district to day, survivors searched, for missing loved ones, but the majority were dis appointed. Child Searches (or Mother.

Dr. Mahlon Moore was asleep In his office when the storm broke. The building was demolished, but the doc tor, lying on the mattress of his bed, was carried across the street and dropped safely on the sidewalk. Babies Escape lajnry. Mr. and Mrs. Paris Everett, whose home was destroyed, were blown two blocks, and when they rushed back to the debris of their cottage they found their two babies In the wreckage un injured. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Runyon. who were tossed across several lots, re turned to their bungalow to find their 6-months-old baby asleep in its crib. The child did not awaken until after It had been carried across town in an automobile. The storm seemed to be worse at Gardentown, a small colony five miles south of Terre Haute. There it de molished everything in Its path, killed two persons and left a lane half a mile wide through the village. There, as in Terre Haute, tne majority cf the vic tims were wonting people of small means. They now have nothing left but the lots upon which their homes stood.

Figures In a report, which will be Issued about April 1 by the In dustrial Insurance Commission of . this state, will tell an Interesting story of the success or the Washington work men's compensation law during the first vear and a half of its operation. It will be shown that the law which was enacted by the Legislature In 111 and which will close the fcrst nan oi its second year's operation April 1 ha3 worked out to the benefit, of the labor- ng classes to a much greater extant than did the old system of court set tlement of personal injury claims. It will be shown that up to March 1 there was paid out to injured workmen a total of J85I.934.S7. There have been 17.S25 accidents reported and claims al lowed for 11.561 workmen. A totai of 36S7 claims have been disallowed, sus pended or waived, 688 'Cases are in process of adjustment and reports of 1473 cases are incomplete, it wm utj shown that of the cases In which claims have been allowed close to 90 per cent would have been without recourse under the common law.

The gross expense of the commission has been 8143. 292.40 and tne expense oi uoms business has been but 8.2 per cent. A total of 6500 firms have been listed and assessed under the act and have paid into the accident fund a total oi 11,589.042.71. A total of 145.000 em ployes in hazardous industries have been listed and protected. System Bolsts; , Watched. Th renort will be particularly in teresting because of the fact that Wash ington is the first state to enact ana carry out a compulsory state Insurance law. The workings of the system have been and still are being watched crit ically and expectantly throughout the United States, and even in some of the foreign countries. The commission has answered inquiries from nearly every state in the Union regarding tne law. and some of the states have sent rep resentatives to Investigate tne system. The law in the first place deprives the courts of Jurisdiction over claims for personal Injuries against employ ers by employes In the lines of indus try outlined In the law and classed as "hazardous" or "extra hazardous." These Industries are enumerated in the act as follows: ' Factories, mills and workshops where machinery is used; printing, electrotyp lng, photo-engraving and stereotyping plants where machinery is used; foun dries, blast furnaces, mines, wells, gas works, water works, reduction works, breweries, elevators, wharves, docks, dredges, smelters, powder works, laun dries operated by power; quarries, en gineering works, logging, lumbering and shipbuilding operations, logging, street and lnterurban railroads; build ings being constructed, repaired, moved or demolished; telegraph, telephone, electric light or power plants or lines; steam heating or power plants, steam boats,, tugs, ferries and railroads. . Industries Are Classified. The Industries are classified and the rate of assessment Dasea upon iu roiativa or comparative danger to workmen In the various lines of labor. Powder factories being tne most oan remit are assessed the highest. As sessmenta for some of the other trades run as low as an eighth of the amount of the asessment charged to powder factories. The assessments are maae nn the total payroll of the employer. Tho monev is naid by the employer to the State Treasurer prior to jan- ... 15 vear. It goes into uie workmen's accident fund from which it Is paid out to claimants as needed. The law requires the Legislature in this .mi, n nnnroDriate money from all tte funds before it can be spent, and for that reason It is necessary lor eacn session of the Legislature to appro priate an amount out oi tne tuna aui- fM.nt fn meet the demands whlcn rea- nnihiv mev be exDected upon the fund during the blenniura following the leg islative session. At the last session $4,000,000 was appropriated from the fund. This was a "paper" appropriation, being merely a form to enable the expenditure of the money put Into tne lunci oy tne tax on industry. No nioney is drawn from the general fund or other funds of the state for the support of the compen sation system, the entire work being kept up by the tax on employers. "First Aid"' Prpvlsloa Lacking. rf manv defects found in the li by tho offtclals who administer it, the most Important is saia to oe mo ioiii of "first aid" provisions, wnat is needed. It is said, is a fund from which can be paid the hospital, medical and surgical bills of injured workmen, in manv rases at present tne worxman lingers in the hospital for a long time and his bills eat up a large part of the amount he Is paid from the accident fund. Efforts were made at the last ses sion of the Legislature to put through a bill providing a flrst-ald system, but it was found impossible to settle the question of whether the state, the em ployer or the employes themselves should provide the funds for the car rying out of the plan and for that rea son tho proposed "first-aid" measures were all smothered in legislative com mittees. Of various other difficulties which have developed In the operation of the law the following, as outlined by C A. Pratt, State Industrial Insurance Com missioner, are the most serious: "Pension allowance to widow and more than three children, now limited to $35 a month, is often Inadequate for their support and often must be aug mented from other sources. Disabled Mis Gets SO. "A workman totally and permanent ly disabled receives only $20 a month. This is often not enough to pay his board, and Is never enough to pay for constant attendants, such as patients paralyzed from injury must have. "There Is no penalty for conceal ment of payroll or failure to report hazardous operations to the commis sion. This results in many remote and semi-private Industries remaining un known until a disabling accident oc curs; then the accident fund muBt stand the cost and the commission get the emploj-er'a contribution If it can. "The act la not sufficiently supported by safety standards, so that the care ful employer is required, in a measure, to pav for the losses of the careless employer, unless tha business of the latter Is conducted In a plainly care less - and negligent manner, in which case the commission may raise, lta rate." The commission at present Is operat ing the law under a number of draw backs, according to Mr. Pratt. "The powder mills class Is a sore spot" with us in this state," he says. "This Is owing to the refusal of the Dupont Company to pay its contribu tion into tha accident fund. Suit has been brought by the Attorney-General against this concern and a settlement out of court is among the possibilities. The Dupont situation shows the weak ness of small classes in which the hazard is great, although In this case the tension Is made greater oy me ou ter rivalry between the Dupont Com pany and the Imperial Powder Com pany, of Chehalis. the disaster in the nlant of the latter being the prime cause of the failure of the Dupont Corrfpany to make its contribution.

George H, Wilson. A. 3. Giesy and S. a Josephl last Tuesday, was quite, ill. Three days following the operation Miss Loverldge seemed much better, and some intimate friends were received, but her door yesterday bore the card "no visitors" and extreme quietness reigned In the hallway. Miss Loverldge has been iden tified with this hospital for many years, and is well known not only In Portland but all over the Northwest. a hitter attack on the law, which ' was printed and placed on the desks of the legislators In Olympla ana baiem. The pension rolls of the commission now bear the names ' of 287 widows, fatherless children arfd helpless par ents, with a payroll of $3925.50 per month. There are six totally disabled i pensioners who are unable to do any kind of work. Out of the hundreds of applications for lump sum compensa tion by dependents, few have been granted. Penniless widows have been given' traveling expenses to their homes in Scotland,' Norway and Austria- Mortgages have been paid on three or four homes, in which pension ers had a real equity.. One woman pensioner received a small cash ad vance to fix her teeth and a pensioner on the totally disabled roll was given a small advance to buy himself a wheel chair. Lump sums to purchase real estate, to go traveling for health, to pay doctor bills, to buy clothes, etc, have been denied. In each case where money has been advanced some member of the com mission has made a personal Investiga tion of the beneficiary's condition and circumstances. In this sort of adjust ment, the commission Is given a wide margin by the law, and the care ex ercised over the reserve funds for paying widows and children pensions is nothing' less than paternal. Dealt a Day Is Averaare. Approximately one death : for each day of the year represents the toll levied on the Industrial workers of the state by the hazards of employ ment. So far 287 deaths have been reported to the Commission. Out of this number pensions have been paid to the dependents in 172 cases. A total of 152 have been suspended or rejected on account of no shown dependency, while 63 are under Investigation or in complete. That the workmen are satisfied with the compensation scale fixed by the commission is shown in the fact that only 38 claimants out of 17,825 have appealed their cases to the Superior Courts. Out of this number 12 have been settled, four withdrawn and four are pending. In the 16 cases disposed of the reasonableness of the commis sion's surgical scale of compensation for permanent injury has not been questioned, all appeals being so far decided on questions of fact.

PETITION FILING NECESSITY Xo Constitutional Amendments Nor Initiative Measures May Be Voted On Under Terms of Act, Says ' Official to Olcott. - SALEM, Or.. March 24. (Special)' No constitutional amendments nor ini tiative measures .may ' be voted on at the special election to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. 113, under the terms of the Day bill, according to an opinion handed down by Attorney-General Crawford today for Secretary Olcott. Secretary Olcott asked the two fol lowing questions of the Attorney-General: "What measures can be placed on the ballot under the said aot and does the act call for an election wheth er or not referendum petitions are filed?" The Attorney-General held that In event no refcrendlnr. petitions are filed no special election will De held. After citing a number of cases and dwelling upon sections of the statute and the constlutlon, the Attorney-General says: "It is plain from the above that if the Legislature desired to have the proposed amendments to ' the constitu tion voted upon at the special election It must so state and that must have been the purpose or one of the purposes for which the election was caiiea. "Instead of including the constitu tional amendments in the call, the Leg islature specially designated in each resolution proposing an amendment that it should be presented to the peo ple for approval or- rejection at the regular biennial election In November, 1914, thus Indicating, its own construc tion of the act calling the special elec tion. Special elections being called for a particular and specific purpose, the call must state what is to be voted upon 'at the election. "Therefore, In answer to your first question, we are of the opinion that no measure can be placed upon the ballot at the special election, if the same be held, except those on which the referendum is invoked by petition, and that no initiative measure or any measure or constitutional amendment referred by the Legislature can be placed on the ballot "As to the second question we are of the opinion that no election Is called, nor any can be held, under the act, un less a referendum petition is filed. The calling of the election depends upon the filing of a referendum petition. BULLET SLAYS BOY FRIEND Cowlitz Lad of 8 Instantly Killed by Playmate Aged 10. CENTRALIA, Wash., March 23. (Special.) One of the most deplorable accidents in the history of Cowlitz County occurred yesterday when 8 year-old Kenneth Curry was shot through the breast and instantly killed by his playmate, Robert Barr, Jr., aged 10 years, the shooting taking place in the dooryard of the Curry horns on Globe Creek, ten miles east of Kelso. The two children had been at play and in some manner had obtained posses sion of a 38-caliber revolver.

The parents of both children are well known, Robert Barr, Sr., being superintendent of the Cowlitz County Logging Company's camps. Con Curry, father of the dead boy, is foreman of the Alger Logging Company's camps and has been a resident of the uowee man country for many years.
