tributions from $12 to $17 a week to mother and she used this for

own purposes insufficient to show that she was dependen upon him.
Birmingham et al. vs. Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. et al.-In re
Travelers' Ins. Co. (N. Y...)................

Dependent. Where deceased had for a number of years supported sister
under agreement, her health being that she could not perform work of
stenographer, she was totally dependent upon him-not to be deprived
of compensation by mere fact that she was capable of supporting her-
self, when in fact she did depend on him for support. In re Lanman et
al. (Ind.)

Dependent. Where father earned sufficient to satisfy family expenses when
proper deduction was made on account of contributions of deceased son,
no award can be made, notwithstanding he contributed to family sup-
port. Moll v. City Baker et al. (Mich.)...
Dependent.-Employee fatally injured while living with father who was
dependent upon him for support, and married a woman, who previous
to the accident was pregnant by him and who lived with him after
their marriage until his death when posthumous child was born, com-
pensation properly awarded to surviving father to exclusion of widow and
deceased employee's minor son. Keutbach v. Industrial Commission of
Wisconsin et al. (Wis.)...
461
Dependent. Where claimant has not appealed from decision of board that
certain payments by deceased to claimant were not contributions to
support of family, Supreme Judicial Court cannot consider such pay-
ments in determining whether claimant was partially dependent for sup-
port-finding that claimant father was partially dependent on son must
stand if there was any evidence to warrant finding-contributions for
household furniture could have been adjudged as contribution to sup-
port-partial dependency may be found to exist, though father could
have subsisted without aid from son-Board not legally warranted in
finding that amount of son's money in bank was "contributed" by him
to his father in determining amount of weekly payment father was to
receive. In re McMahon-In re Massachusetts Employees' Ins. Ass'n
(Mass.)
Dependent.-Board's finding that widow in Italy was totally dependent up-
on earnings of her deceased husband for support and that her three
children were totally dependent cannot be sustained on evidence show-
ing that, though she had received money from husband since he came
to the United States, notwithstanding he owned house she lived in in
Italy-compensation goes to those dependent on earnings of decedent
and not those supported by him. In re Derinza-In re Pucci-In re Con-
tractors' Mut. Liability Ins. Co. (Mass.)
Dependency.-Alien wife living in another country not with her husband, while
he works in Mass. for part of year by reason of mutual agreement is
not conclusively presumed to be a total dependent, question of her de-
pendency and its extent being of fact-where wife owns lot and eight-
room house in good repair in which family live, it cannot rightly be
said that she or her children are "totally dependent". In re McDonald,
In re Employers' Liability Assur. Corp., Ltd. (Mass.)..
Dependent.-Adopted child of daughter of employee is not his heir or next
of kin and it is not entitled to compensation. Winkler v. New York Car
Wheel Co. In re Employers' Liability Assur. Corp., Ltd. (N. Y.).
Dependent.-Commission might receive affidavits of father and mother of
deceased, residing in Ireland and taken before commissioner of oaths
of state of New York, as bearing upon their dependency. Moran et al.
v. Rodgers & Hagerty, Inc. (N. Y.).....
Dependent. Finding that wife had neither received nor sought support from
employee for years and was suing him for a divorce without claiming
alimony, that she was not in fact dependent on him was supported by
evidence assuming that wife was conclusively presumed dependent upon
employee for support, still where there were children also dependent on
him, commission had power to award compensation in proportion to their
respective needs and in such manner as might be just and equitable,
even to the total exclusion of the wife. Perry et al. v. Industrial Acc.
Commission et al. (Cal.)...
Dependent.-Married daughters who were not dependent upon father, but to
whom he had contributed groceries and other things, were entitled to
compensation. Peabody Coal Co. v. Industrial Board of Illinois et al.
Dependent.-Question of what disposition of compensation for death of
employee is in proportion to respective needs of dependents is one of
fact, the determination of which is committed to Industrial Commission
which is necessarily vested with large discretion and no court should
interfere award of whole compensation to two minor children was
warranted. Perry et al. v. Industrial Acc. Commission et al. (Cal.).... 474
Dependent. Where night watchman left daughter of 22 surviving, to whose
support he contributed within four years previous to his death, she being
incapacitated by illness, so that it was her father's duty under statute
to support her, employer was liable to pay compensation. Mechanics'
Furniture Co. v. Industrial Board of Illinois et al. (Ill.).
Dependent.-Where six children contributed to father sufficient sum to main-
tain family, aside from rent. and deceased contributed one-fifth_thereof,
and father, owning the building in which they lived, contributed its use
to the family, father was entitled to compensation on death of son.
Mallers v. Industrial Board of Illinois et al. (Ill.)..

Dependents. Proceeding may be maintained by mother for death of son
who contributed all his earnings to her as head of family, notwith-
standing her other children were also supported from common fund.
Where deceased paid all his wages intact to mother as part of common
fund from which he received his car fare, clothing and necessary ex-
penses, the full average weekly wage was proper basis for determining
amount due without deduction for expenses. People's Hardware Co. v.
Croke (Ind.)
Dependency.-Where widow of servant who came from Armenia 31⁄2 years
before his death was living in Armenia, she was conclusively presumed
to be totally dependent upon his earnings and such question must be
determined in accordance with fact as it was at time of injury to her
husband. In re Mooradjian. In re London Guarantee & Accident Co.,
Ltd. (Mass.)
Dependent. Provision in law that surving wife shall be conclusively pre-
sumed to be wholly dependent on husband infringed no constitutional
right of relator and is valid-while evidence shows that plaintiff was
living apart from husband it fails to show she was doing so voluntarly.
State ex rel. London & Lancashire Indemnity Co. v. District Court of
Hennepin County et al. Rush v. London & Lancashire Indemnity Co.
(Minn.)

Dependents. Where evidence was able to support findings as to partial
dependency of two daughters order of insurer to pay them equal sums
was proper. In re Osterbrink (Mass.)...
Dependent. Where girl had lived over fifteen years with grandparents
continuously her parents in separating having given her to them by
written agreement, she was entitled, as dependent on her grandfather,
to be compensated for his death, notwithstanding her parents had re-
united, it appearing that her mother was lacking in love for her and
that she would not be at home with her father and mother and that
her real home was with grandmother-claim not affected by fact that
at time of hearing on her claim she was earning some wages, or that
mother was offering to take care of her. In re Yeople. In re John B.
Rose Co. In re Travelers' Ins. Co. (N. Y.).

against employer's and insurer's objections was error. Shaffer V.
D'Arcy Spring Co. et al. (Mich.)..
Deposition.-Application by Industrial Board not in writing for deposition
to take evidence of deceased's widow living in Italy was irregular, filing
of interrogatories by secretary of Board not being a written request for
a commission-omission of board to make written request could be
cured by filing written request by board or some member-desposition
admissible since only objections to substance of interrogatories can avail
when presented for first time at trial. In re Derinza. In re Pucci. In
re Contractors' Mut. Liability Ins. Co. (Mass.)..

v. Industrial Accident Commission of State of California (Cal.)..........

Etna Life Ins. Co. (N. Y.).

Disease. Evidence sufficient to sustain finding of trial court that death of
employee resulted from injuries which he had sustained and not solely
from disease. State ex rel. Miller vs. District Court, Hennepin County,
et al. (Minn.)
Disease. The act providing that "death when mentioned as basis for right
to compensation means only death resulting from such injuries," proof of
injury, of an operation therefor and that after apparent recovery from
effects of operation and anaesthesia, the servant died from a disease
existing before injury is clearly sufficient to establish death resulting
from injury. Tucillo v. Ward Baking Co.-In re Ocean Accident &
Guarantee Corp. (N. Y.)....

Ward Baking Co.-In re Ocean Accident & Guarantee Corp. (N. Y.).... 439

is traceable to an accident as defined in statute, the law does not
award compensation. Blair v. Omaha Ice & Cold Storage Co. (Neb.).. 424

the act. Blair v. Omaha Ice & Cold Storage Co. (Neb.)..
Disease.-Driver of bakery wagon, who accidentally slipped in getting off and
fell and received spiral fracture of right tibia arising out of and in
course of employment, healing of which was prolonged by reason of his
pre-existing syphilitic condition, which aggravated by accident resulted
in loss of sight, while he might be entitled to compensation for fracture

ability. Borgsted v. Shults Bread Co. et al. (N. Y.)..
Disease.-Evidence showed that deceased died solely of heart failure and
there was no unexpected event in connection with his work. Johnson
v. Mary Charlotte Mining Co. (Mich.)..........
Disease. Theory that claimant's disease of diabetes resulted from injury
sufficient to sustain finding. Balzer V. Saginaw Beef Co. et al.

to wade through flood water overflowed defendant's car works, an old
wound of foot being thereby infected requiring amputation. Monson V.

Disease. Finding of Commission that cancer resulted from fall of workman
supported by evidence. Santa Ana Sugar Co. of Santa Ana et al. v.
Industrial Accident Commission et al. (Cal.)..

plaintiff employed as mahogany stainer, an occupation necessitating his
getting his hand into the staining solution, cannot recover for infection

finding that injury was accidental. Santacroce v. Sag Harbor Brick
Works. In re Travelers' Ins. Co. (N. Y.).....

Election.-Refusal of arbitrator to require claimant to elect which para-
graph he sought compensation under, is not erroneous, although award
could be made under both paragraphs. Stubbs V. Industrial Board
et al. (II.)
Election.-Employees of warehouse or retail store not having elected not
to be bound by act will automatically be brought within it. Freibel V.
Chicago City Ry. Co. et al. (Ill.)...
Election. As requested instruction by employer would, in effect, allow
contributory negligence of fellow servant rule defenses, it wasa properly
refused. Daly v. New Staunton Coal Co. (Ill.)..
Election. There being nothing to indicate that either party gave notice
of exemption from operation of act it is conclusively presumed that they
accept its provisions. Hagenback et al. vs. Leppert (Ind.)...
Election. Bringing of suit under Federal Employers' Liability Act which
was dismissed on demurrer was not election of remedies preventing her
filing claim under Workmen's Compensation Act, as doctrine of election
or remedies has no application to election between suits based on different
statutes. Jackson vs. Industrial Board of Illinois et al. (Ill.)........ 160
Election. Mere filing of notice of acceptance with Industrial Commissioner,
was not substantial compliance without posting any notice, though the
posted notice of rejection was torn down, and there was rumor or
general talk amoung employees that employer had accepted statute,
though injured employee could not talk or read English, so that posted
notice would have been unavailing. Paucher vs. Enterprise Coal Mining
Co. (Iowa.)
Election.-Master who rejects Workmen's Compensation Law is presumed
negligent and burden is on him. Mitchell vs. Des Moines Coal Co. (Iowa). 200
Election. Plaintiff having proved that intestate sustained fatal injury while
performing duties in defendant's mine, and that latter had rejected terms
of Workmen's Compensation Act, burden not only shifted to defendant
to show its freedom from negligence, but proof of injury stood as sub-
stantive evidence of employer's negligence. Mitchell vs. Phillips Mining
Co. (Iowa.)
Election.-Plaintiff, though he had not been in defendant's employ for thirty
days at time of accident had not given notice that he elected not to be
subject to provisions of the act-Section 3494-7 subd. 2, declares that term
"employee" shall include every person in service of another under any
contract of hire including minors who are legally permitted to work-
minor was working under child labor permit and was subject to pro-
visions of act-though plaintiff was required to run elevator, a prohibited
employment, he was nevertheless subject to the act, which provides for
treble the amount otherwise recoverable. Lutz vs. Wilmanns Bros. Co.
(Wis.)
Election. Where injured person was induced to invoke New Jersey statute,
under which award was made and insurer made some payments, he
was not thereby deprived of his rights under the New York law, the
insurer being credited with amount paid. Gilbert vs. Des Lauriers Column
Mould Co., Inc., et al. (N. Y.)...
Election. Under Workmen's Compensation Act 1912, No. 10, pt. 1, section 6,
subjecting employer to the provisions of the act after the approval of
board of a statement by employer accepting the provisions of the act
"from the date of the filing of such statement" where an employer's
statement, electing to come under the act, was filed before the accident
to an employee who had not elected, he was within the direct pro-
visions of section 3, providing that section 1, abolishing common-law
defenses, shall not apply to actions to recover damages, where the em-
ployer has elected. with the approval of the board, to pay compensation
under the act. Bernard v. Michigan United Traction Co. (Mich.).... 624
Election. That servant did not pay hospital to which he was taken for
first two weeks, for which time he was entitled to treatment under
Workmen's Compensation Act, but paid for time thereafter, is not
evidence that he elected to proceed for compensation under act, where
he did not refuse to pay for services. Wahlberg & Bowen et al. (Mass.). 790
Election. Where employee was discharged from work upon one building
and a few days later was rehired on another building. there was a new
hiring, and employer, having posted notice as to the new building, was
liable only to pay compensation and not damages-actual notice of pro-
visions of act on part of employee is not an acceptance of them, or agree-
ment to be bound by them in advance of compliance with section 1,
par. 3, cl. (c.). Curran v. Wells Bros. Co. (Ill.)
