Wallace Resents Action
l''i'rnier A-ssenililyman •leorjje Wal¬ lace of South Ocean Avenue in an in¬ terview in the city papers, severely [criticises the action in arresting .Mrs. Carman before tbe Bailey case was considered by the Grand Jury.
Mr. Wallace said heHvould   not   dis¬ cuss the guilt or innocence of any   per- i son, and he sincerely hopes the mr.tter will be ferreted out to the last   detail, ¦ .so that justice may be   done—whether to Mrs. Carman or any one else.
It is currently stated, said Mr. Wal¬ lace, that all the evidence thus far ob¬ tainable has been published in the pa¬ pers; if so, the arrest of Mrs. Carman was an outrage and could not be ot any possible service to the State. The main purpose of an arrest, in   the   eye
suay morning's Herald repor the District Attorney now has another '"star witness," a tram]), Frank Far¬ rell, who is willing to swear that he sa-.v a woman commit this crime, and gives a description which could apply tn .Mrs. Carman alone.
The same paper states that Gardes was not called and quotes Counselor Levy as follows:
"The examination of ."'Irs. Cai ni'U) wus postfioned to July 21 with the ex- jiress understanding thut 1 le permit¬ ted to cross examine Bai des, and li.r- ttier that any v.'itness uifc.-tin^ Battles' story might go before the Grand Jury .ind that Airs.

teer tiremen are not regarded as em ployees in a.ny sense. The Court of Appeals has described them a» .juasi public agents.

Subdivisi in, ;» describing "wages." savs: " "Wages' means the money rate at which the service rendered is rc- compeiisated under the contract of hir¬ ing in force at the time of the acci¬ dent. "
It is possible, however, andpermiss- able, for a village or city to insure it¬ self against liability for injuries to volunteer firemen under the provisions of Chapter 400 of the Laws of 1914 if insurance companies are writing risks against the accdents provided for in that act. Chapter 400 is the .Act of this session ( f the Legislature giving ciimpensalioii     to    voiuiiieei        fifelnen
killed or injured while in the discharge of their duties.
I have no i;ifuririation that insurance companies are thus insuring nr that villages are taking out policies against the liability under that Act, but so far as tbe Workmen's Compensation -Act is C'.nci-rned, I am very sure that vil- lagts cannot insure and fhat v >lunteer firemtn are not insurable.
