Savannah, Ca, March IA
unique turn was given a murder case
in the superior court Monday when
the main witness for the state de-
clared that the man on trial was not
the man who had committed the kill
ing. Sartorie Constantine was the
defendant, and he was charged with
the murder of Frank Patterson, a ne
gro, who was killed in a fruit shop in
which Constantine clerked. Joe Mil
Ter, a negro, surprised Solicitor Gen.
eral Osborne by stating that Constan-
tine was not the man who shot Pat
terson, saying that Constantine did
not even look anything like the man
who did the shooting. The jury took
only ten minutes to make up its ver-

Dreadnaueht Behavior Not Good

London, March 12.-According to
the Chronicle, the official accounts of
the Dreadnaught's behavior on her
trip to Trinidad. are not altogether
supported by private letters. The
engines worked well, but the heat
in the engine room exceeded any
thing ever experienced by those on
board the ship. Owing to the great
size of the ship, her maneuvering
qualities at slow speed was not equal
to those Of smaller ships. It is stat
ed that the bigg battleship cannot
keep her station with reciprocating
ships at 20 knots and that for night
maneuVers without lights in close for

UNIFORM BILL or lADING PLAN
Commercial Representatives Suggest
Straight" and "Order" Bills.

Washington, Oct. 16.-That the uni.
form bill of lading. which it is pro.
posed to put into effect on all rail.
roads of the country on Jan. I by the
Interstate commerce commission. Is
not satisfactory to the commercial
interests and that two separate bills
of lading should be adopted instead,
was pointed out at a hearing of these
interests before the interstate com.
merce commission.
The hearing was one of the most
important ever held by the commits
sion, from the standpoint OF the inter.
ests affected, as the adoption Of a uni.
form bill OF lading in the ~transporta.
ton of freight by common carriers
will involve a radical departure from
the methods now in use. At the pres.
ent time the railroads OF the United
States use separate bills OF lading and
IL is the desire of the commission. the
shipping and the railroad interests to
secure uniformity IN the matter, the
only question at issue.
1t was the c%oncensus of opinion of
the representatives OF the interests
heard that a recommendation should
be made for the adoption by the com.
mission instead of the one which il
was proposed to put into effect. of
two distinct bills of lading which
should be uniform in character, one
10 be known as a straight" bill of
lading and the other an order bill
of lading. An order bill Of lading, it
was explained. is a negotiable instru-
ment, upon which money can be
loaned, and a straight bill of lading Is
an ordinary receipt which the railroad
company gives for a consignment If
goods. 1t was argued that should the
commission adopt the two proposed
bills of lading, substantial justice TO
all interests concerned would be af.
tOrded.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ILLINOIS
CENTRAL STOCK RULED OUT.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM A VICTORY
Fish Because E%njoined Shares will
Not sc Effective at the Annual
Meeting Today and Hartman Be.
GAUGE His Modific alton is Accepted.

Chicago, Oct. Ice. II. Hartman
was, by an order of court, deprived
Of the voting power of 2SG, 49, shares
Of illinois Central stock in the annual
meeting OF that railroad company,
which opens here this afternoon. The
order Of the court was practically
identical with the modification asked
Ey the attorney OF Hartman. Both
sides claim a victory, Fish because
the enjoined shares will not be effeC-
tive at the election, and Hartman
because his modification was secured.
These shares OF stock ruled out are
those held b! the Union Pacific Rail.
way company, the Railroad Securities
company Of New Jersey and the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company of New
York, against which a temporary in
junction was Monday issued by Judge
Ball in the superior court.
Fish asked hat the voting OF these
shares be gnjOined. The court, after
extensive arguments by the attorneys
of both sides, modified the injunction
by permitting the shares to be voted
under the condition hat if any one
OF these shares should have a decisive
effect on any vote taken, the entire
vote is then to be null and void. In
other words, Fish Is given by the
court a handicap of 2S6,731 votes, and
IL order to defeat him in any motion
or resolution which comes before the
annual meeting Hartman and his
friends must cast 2S6, 1872 votes more
than are cast by Fish ana his follow
ers.
The total outstanding shares of the
Illinois Central number $50, 400. Count
ing out the shares affected by Judge
Balls decision, the total effective vote
10 663 500 shares. Based upon pre-
vious meetings of the Illinois Central
railroad. the estimate is made that APP
proXimately 100000 shares will not be
'oted. This will leave a probable
representation of 500, 500 shares OF the
meeting.
The decision of Judge Ball was
granted after the attorneys for Harri-
man and Fish had filled the day with
arguments, and was the result of an
agreement reached between Thomas
Nelson Cromwell. representing Har-
riman, and Judge Farrar of New Or
leans, who acted for Fish.
AS the matter stands, both sides
believe that victory Is in their grasp.
Both are of the opinion that they hold
the greater number of proxies, but
the actual facts In this connection
cannot be guessed at with any accu-
racy.
