TO PROTECT BUYERS
OF UNIFORM BILL OF
LADlNG MOVEMENT.
Innocent Third Parties Stand to Lose
Money and Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Be Asked for Reform.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-various repre-
sentative business organizations of the
country will have delegates present at the
conference on the proposed new uniform
bill of Iading, to be held in Atlantic City
on Monday next. The object of this con-
ference is to discuss the best form for
a nationally uniform bill of lading in or
der to prevent the losses occasioned TO
banker and other business men through
lending mo1ey on, or receipting for. mer-
chandise shipped with a defective lading
bill.
George w. Neville, chairman of the bill
Of lading committee of the New York Cot
ton Exchange, said today that heretofore
business has been done with all agricul-
turaI products as well as a majority of
manufactures on the integrity of bills CT
lading and on the assumption that the
railroads were responsible for such bills
when signed by their agents.
The investigations conducted by the bill
of lading committee Of the American
Bankers Association, and the decisions Of
the various State courts published in the
renort of this committee lave caused a
great deal Of concern among merchants.
The importers Of cotton in Liverpool, Bre-
men and Hamburg and the foreign bank
ers who buy the exchange which factii-
tates the handling of Ms American crops,
held a meeting in Liverpool recently, and
vigorous protests were forwarded to the
New York Cotton Exchange by the Liver
pool Cotton Association against the
methods in use by railroads and steam
ship agents in this country in signing bills
of lading.
With a view Of settling the differences
existing between the shipper and the rail-
road compan regarding the conditions of
bills of lading, the Interstate Commerce
Commission in a semi-oficial way author
lied the Carriers Association and the
Shippers Association to formulate an order
bill of lading which should be used as a
model for all carriers in the United States
to adopt.
This bill of fading will be submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commission a on
October 15. While 1t is an improvement
over that now in use, 1t by no means
gives protection to the innocent third
party who buys the bill of lading when
he pays a draft with bill Of lading at
tached, and as the bill of lading commit
tee OF the Bankers Association has put
in a substitute for the joint committees
bill of lading, the commercial exchanges
of this city and the South are preparing
to be represented at the meeting in Wash
ington on October Is and request that the
uniform bill of lading be SO drafted as to
give protection to the innocent third party
that is, the purchaser of the goodD COW
cred by the bill of lading.

METEoRITES HIT LONDON.
Dented a Road and Left Greasy
Fragments.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The residents of the
borough of Camberwell, which is in the
part of London. are perturbed
over a remarkable phenomenon, the occur
renee Of which is attested by several eye
witnesses. Their story is that at . o'clock
yesterday three bright, star-like objects
fell from the heavens, impacting the street
with three sharp detonatlons louder than
pistol shots.
The road shows traces Of the impact.
The paving stones are indented and
scorched. An eyewitness picked up a num-
Der of chrome-colored humps, resembling
rusty iron, and burned his hands painfully
in doing so, A m%ystifying feature of the
particles that have been saved is their
greasy nature. They show greasy patches
through the paper in which they are
wrapped.
