SEVERE ON THE MERCHANTS
Conditions Revealed in Alleged Mis-
description of Goods.

NEW YORK. March 2I--The inveetlga-
ton Of the interstate commerce commits
sion into the alleged undertaking and mis-
description of freight by merchants shin
ping out of New York and vicinity was re-
sumed today Frank R. Davenport New
York, Superintendent for Butler Brothers.
was called witness. p. J. Farrell, the
attorney for the commission, told him that
the shipments from his farm were regarded
with suspicion by the inspectors on account
of the frequency of nisdescription.
Mr.. Davenport said it was the custom 81
the firm to ship mixed goods of different
classification in the one package, but that
the instructions TO the shippers and packers
were to give it the highest classification.
He could account for the frequent INSIDE
scription of shipments only through mis-
take in marking by the packers.
Jacques Kahn. a looking glass manufac-
turer, the next witness said: IF I had
known that there was any question about
the way in which our goods were described
I should have made the proper change. I
think the railroads ought to have called
our attention to it. but they never did"
Inspector Robert G. Stevenson for the
Trunk Line Association, was recalled. Com
missioner Prouty asked him what he would
advise the commission to do to correct the
evils complained Of
II would recommend a vigorous prosecu-
ton of all firms for the misdescripton Of
goods and the false declarations of weight"
said Mr.. Stevenson.
why don't you yourself apply to tho
district attorney" responded Commissioner
Prouty. instead of asking the commission
to take action? The misdescription of
goods is a violation of the law and where
you find a shipper persistently and ma
hciously doing this you should apply 10
the district attorney and have him indicted
and punished"
Inspector Stevenson said that often small
and infrequent shippers misdescrihed goods
through ignorance. but that the large ship
pers did so to meet competition and please
their customers. who patroni1ed the ship
per who gave them the lowest price and
cheapest freight. Everywhere merchants
were doing business In a way that WAS not
strictly honest and using and defrs uGirg
the railroads to obtain business.
Mr.. Stevenson said that when the work Of
the inspection bureau started packages hat
were found to be misdescrfbed were held at
the terminals and the shippers were In
formed. They received only one answer
cumulated fast that the bureau went
ahead. corrected classfcations and Sc Mt the
shipments on their way.

A. A. Vantine & Co. another alleged fire.
quent offender in MISREPRESENTATION was
then called as a witness. He said all their
shipments described as crockery were what
he understood to be In reality In crockery

ents. The hearing was then adjourned with

The Navy Department is confronted with
the question whether or not the bluejack-

mitted to engage In base ball or other
games on Sunday this summer at Province
town. the rendezvous of the fleet during
target practice. This kind of practice is
the most arduous and nerve-racking ex-
perience which falls TO the lot of sailor,
and occupies every working minute OF the

THEY ARE TIRED Of
BEING DEFENDANTS
Automobiles Propose to Draft
Laws for Their Protection
in the Different States.

NEW YORK. March 2I-Automobile Iegis-
lation is only just beginning In the United
States, If the energetic policy advocated by
President John FaTson of the American
Automobile Association may be accepted as
an indication of the future. In this respect
he is ably supported by the new secretary.
Sidney 5. Gorham. and who, by virtue OF
his becoming a lawyer. has very properly
been named as chairman OF tho law COM
nittee. Mr.. Gorham believes that the time
has come in many states of the Union for
the automobiles TO come out suuarely in
favor OF good roads. and, II necessary, to
fight strenuously for them. Not only are
the motor users to fight for good roads, but
they will be advised to demand an equitable
law regarding the use and licensing of au-
tomobiles. Hitherto the great bulk OF legis-
lation of this character has been directed
against Automobiles. The latter have vir-
tually been on the defensive, and many of
the benefits they have obtained have been
secured through quiet and devious ways.
Mr. Gorham said this week:
II intend to get right to work on a bin
which l hope Will be the foundation of
uniform bill to be presented to the leglsla-
lures of a number of states, gradually In
creasing the number as occasion requires.
SO that in time. through the action of the
states. uniform automobile law may be
in vogue all over the country. In this way
l think. we will eventually approach that
ideal--a national automobile law. ] do not
think the government can ever pass a law
to regulate the speed of motor vehicles or
to make other stipulations. II appears to
me that this is more i'm the line of state
legislative action. and 1t is along this plan
that We will begin our work"
Mr.. Gorham proposes to gather around
him as assistants on the law committee
lawyers from every club in the association,
besides having lawyer from every club
who has represented automobile interests in
certain sections of the country to act on
the committee To these lawyers Nh Cor
ham will submit his bill, asking for sugges-
tons or changes and he expects TO have
1t ready within two or three months Ac-
cording to local conditions. ii may be peces-
sary to make some alterations In the bill
for different states but the main princjples
Will remain the same. Particular attention
VIII be paid to the law licensing machines
ana the regulations governing tourists while
passing from one state to another.
II ought to be as easy for an automobiles
10 travel from state to state without sub
uniting to special legislation as ii is for the
man who drives a horse added MIR Cor
nam A uniform act in this respect should
prevail throughout the country so that
when man has paid his fee in his residsn-
tlal state and exhibits his number he need
not be forced to secure additional numbers
or pay extra fees in other states"
Mr. Gorham hopes that his proposed bill
may be introduced in the legislatures OF
some of the western states before the clos,
of the year.
