death of himself or of another, or where the injury results solely from
the intoxication of the injured employe while on duty. Where the
injury is occasioned by the wilful intention of the injured employe
to bring about the injury or death of himself or of another, or where
the injury results from the intoxication of the injured employe while
on duty, neither the injured employe nor any dependent of such em-
ploye shall receive compensation under this article.

The liability prescribed by the last preceding paragraph shall be
exclusive that if an employer fail to secure the payment of compensa-
tion for his injured employes and their dependents as provided in this
Article, an injured employe or his legal representative in case death
results from the injury, may, at his option, elect to claim compensation
under this Article, or to maintain an action in the Courts for damages
on account of such injury; and in such an action the defendant may
not plead as a defense that the injury was caused by the negligence of
a fellow servant or that the employe assumed the risk of his employ-
ment, or that the injury was due to the contributory negligence of the
employe. If an employer, besides employing workmen in extra-hazard-

workmen in employments not extra-hazardous, the provisions of this
Article shall apply only to the extra-hazardous employments within the
meaning of this Article and the workmen employed therein, except as
provided in Section 33 of this Article.

As to negligence causing death, see article 67.
See article 23, section 334.

State.

(3) Any such employer who does not with the approval of said Com-
mission voluntarily insure the payment of the Compensation by one of
the methods designated in the preceding paragraphs of this section, must
furnish satisfactory proof to the Commission of his financial ability to
pay such compensation himself, in which case the Commission may, at
any time and from time to time in its discretion, require the deposit
with the Commission of securities, such as are accepted by the Equity
Courts of Baltimore City for the investment of trust funds and in an
amount or amounts to be determined by the Commission, to secure the
liability of the employer to pay the compensation specified in this
Article; and in order to be informed as to the continued financial
responsibility of any such employer the Commission may require
