CHICAGO, Oct ia $30,OOO,OOO will
contest that was argued and settled out
Of court was disclosed yesterday when
the last testament of Nelson Morris,
the packer. was filed for probate AS
a result of this remarkable situation the
principal provision of the will has been
nullified. Instead of carrying out an
arrangement which would have held the
bulk of the estate in trust for at least
fifteen years, the widow and her four
children will divide the property equally
among themselves at once.
Instead of 100000 and an annuity of
5000 during the next twenty years each
of the five principal heirs will receive
at once s6.OO0.OOO in cash and Sc
curities Furthermore it became known
that before the will was filed each of
the heirs secured title to fifth of the
estate. The property was allotted in
equal shares to the widow and the chill
dren IN binding agreements signed by
the executors of the estate. When the
trust arrangement had thus been wiped
out the will was filed.

for writ of certorari which was re-
ceived by the supreme court of the
United States today in which it is sought
to have the court review the $4,000 fine
imposed on each of these companies by
the United States district court for the
western district of Missouri, several
novel grounds of defense are outlined.

which the fines were levied, does not
apply to a shipper unless he is guilty
of some bad faith or fraudulent conduct
in using some kind of device dis
honest or underhanded method of OBJ
tanning a rebate, concession or discrim-
ination. 1t is also claimed that the
Elkins act does not apply to export
shipment.
The jurisdiction of the Missouri courts
is denied on the claim that the evidence
shows that the concessions were OBJ
tanned in Kansas for transportation east
of the Mississippi river. 1t is also
claimed that the Indictment under which
the conviction was had was not suffi-

OBJECTION RAISED TO
UNIFORM LADING BILL
Those Interested Appear Before Inter-
state Commerce Commission
and Enter Strong
Protests
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.-That the
uniform bill of lading which 1t is ex-
pected to put into effect on all the
railroads of theAcountry on January J
next by the interstate commerce com
mission is not satisfactory to the COM
mercial interests, and that two sepa-
rate bills of lading should be adopted
was pointed out at a hearing of those
interested before the interstate COM
mission today. 1t was proposed to put
into effect two distinct bills of lading
which should be uniform in character,
one to be known as straight" bill OF
lading and the other an order bill OF
lading"
An order bill of lading. 1t is eX-
planned, is a negotiable instrument up
on which money can be loaned, and a
straight bill of lading is an ordinary
receipt which the railroad company
gives for consignment of goods.
II was argued that if the commission
should adopt the two proposed bills of
lading substantial justice to all inter-
ests concerned would be afforded.
The commission will not make a de-
cision for some time.
