300 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 335

(5) (Dependents. ) In case the injury causes death within
the period of three years the benefits shall be in the amounts
and to the persons following:

If there be no dependents, the disbursements shall be lim-
ited to the expense provided for in Section 49 hereof.

If there are wholly dependent persons at the time of death,
the payment shall be sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of
the average weekly wages, not to exceed, however, a maximum
of twenty dollars per week, and not less than a minimum of
ten ($10) dollars per week, unless the deceased employee's
established weekly wages were less than ten dollars per week
at the time of injury, in which event the compensation shall
be an amount equal to the average weekly wages, and to
continue for the remainder of the period between the date of
death and four hundred and sixteen weeks after the date of
injury, and not to amount to more than a maximum of six
thousand five hundred ($6, 500. ) dollars, nor less than a mini-

If there are no wholly dependent persons at the time of
the death, but are partly dependent persons, those partly
dependent shall receive compensation as follows: The weekly
payments to such dependents shall be in amount not exceed-

wages or twenty ($20. 00) dollars per week, but may, in the
discretion of the Commission, be for a less amount per week
and to continue for all or such portion of the period of 416
weeks, after the date of the injury, as the Commission in each
case may determine, and not to amount to more than a
maximum of three thousand dollars.

The following persons shall be presumed to be wholly de-
pendent for support upon a deceased employee: A wife or
invalid husband ("invalid" meaning one physically or men-
tally incapacitated from earning), a child or children under
the age of sixteen years (or over said age if physically or men-
tally incapacitated from earning) living with or dependent
upon the parent at the time of the injury or death.

In all other cases, questions of dependency, in whole or in
part, shall be determined in accordance with the facts, in
each particular case existing at the time of the injury result-
ing in death of such employee, but no person shall be con-
sidered as dependent unless such person be a father, mother,
grandfather, grandmother, stepchild, or grandchild, or brother
or sister of the deceased employee, including those otherwise
specified in this section.

The right to any compensation payable to any dependent
and unpaid at the date of death of any such dependent shall
survive to and be vested in the surviving dependents as the
