UNIFORM DILL OF lsBIhe
Plan of the Commerce commis
sion Not Satisfactory
Hearing Most Important Ever Held
by Commission From Standpoint
of Interests Afected-Adoption Of
Plan VIII be Radical Departure
From Methods Now is Use.

Washington, October 15.-That the
uniform bill of lading which 1t Is pro-
posed to put into effect on all rail-
roads of the country on January 1se
next by the interstate commerce com
mission is not satisfactory to the COM
merc1al interests and that two separ-
ate bills Of lading should be adopted
instead was pointed out at a hearing
OF those intcresas before the interstate
commerce commission today.
The hearing was one Of the most
important ever held by the commis-
sion from the standpoint of the in
terests affected as the adoption of a
uniform bill of lading in the trans
portation of freight by common car
riers will involve radical departure
from the methods now in use. At the
present time the railroads of the Uni
ted States use separate bills of lading
and it is the desire of the commission
that the shipping and the railroad
interests secure uniformity in the mat
ter. the only question at issue being
the method to be employed in bring
ing about the desired result. 1t was
the cOncensus Of opinion of the repre-
sentatives of the interests heard that
recommendation should be made
for the adoption by the commission
instead of one which it was proposed
to put into effect, of two distinct bills
of lading which should be uniform in
character, one to be known as a
''straight:' bill of lading, and the other
as an 'order'' bill of lading. An order
bill of lading, and the other as an
"order' bill Of lading. An order bill
of lading'' it was explained is a ne
gotiable instrument, upon which
money can be loaned, and a straight
bill of lading is an ordinary receipt
which the railroad company gives for
a consignment Of goods. 1t was argued
that should the commission adopt the
two proposed bills of lading, substan-
tial justice to all interests concerned
would be afforded.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
commission will take the matter un-
der Amusement. No decision will be
reached for some time.

BRYAN IN FAYETTEVILLE
Enthusiastically Received Upon His
Arrived-Between3 800 and $500
People Heard His Address.

! Fayetteville, Oct. 15.-Bryan to-
! day addressed between 5000 and 81
! 500 people. He was introduced by
Maj E. j. Hale, who spoke of him
! as one of the three great commoners
of the age, along with Gladstone and
. Vance.
"The Average Man" wa sthe sub
! ject and he discussed the trusts, the
! regulations of railroads, in which he
paid a high tribute to North Car
olina and Governor Glenn, govern
ment by injunction, arbitration in la
! bor, swollen fortune and democ-
| racy.
This was the mastery part of his
speech, his comparison between JEFF
ferson and Hamilton. Jeffersonian
democracy and Hamiltonian central
ization, being able and eloquent He
believed that this government was
destined to shake to their foundation
the thrones of the old world. That
it was strong because it was loved,
and loved because it was good, that
it was wise and just because it was
government of the combined wis
dom of the people.
Bryan spoke for just two hours
and was in fine health and amused
the great crowd with many pleasant
stories and was generously applaud
ed throughout.
His train was met at noon by an
immense crowd at the station and
after bowling his way with the recep-
tion committee through the thous-
ands surging around him he was
driven to the residence of Maj. E. J.
Hale, whose guest he is for a brief
rest.
Attended by numerous squadron
of horsemen commanded by Capt.
J. d. McNeill, at o'clock the pa
rade formed to march to the fair
grounds where the address was made.
1t was composed of a column of cav
airy, pedestrians and a long line of
carriages. The business houses along
the route were decorated with flags
and bunting.
Business was generally suspended
during the address and even the car
riages and turnouts of the prominent
women, who were present in large
numbers were gay with flags and
Streamers.
At the reception after the address
the jam was terrible and it was with
difficulty that finally Mr.. Bryan
could obtain release and enter his
carriage to return to the city.
Bryan lectured tonight in the ope-
,ra house to the Women's Civic I'M
provement Association. He was in
troduced by Capt. J. D. McNeill. 1t
was a classic picture of the old world
practically drawn with the hand of
a master and the fire of genius. His
descriptions of Damascus, CONSTANT
noble, sunrise on the Himalayas and
his comparison between Confucius
and the Man of Galilee were followed
with breathless interest.
