UNIFORM BILL ,.-. l.,-1 Z nLADING. NOW
Went Into Effect Last Nigbt--Shippcrs
 as a Rule Are Opposed to It, as it Involves Lot Of Red Tape-See No Improvement in It. Over Old Form.

The uniform Dill of ladng became effective on all railroads of the count try Monday night at midnight. This uniform or standard btll of Iading was gotten up by committee of freight traffic men of the different railroads and was approved by the July, to become effective December 1. The new bill of lading is in two forms, the straight" and the ship per's order's," Or the white and the yellow order. Each bill used here after will Consist of the original, a duplicate and copy. The original and the copy are given to the ship II per, while the duplicate is retained and filed by the railroad conpany. The Copy is marked "demorandum, 1 is not recognized by the railroad conl- pany as a duplicate and is only given ] to the shipper merely as q me11loran dunn for his personal use. The bills l must be signed by the shipper and l the agent of the railroad company. ] The straight" bill is not negotiable and cannot be put up as collateral for money as has been the custom with some shippers in the past
 The shippers throughout the coun- try are opposed to this new form If bill the chief objection being that it evolves a lot Of red tape, while the result accomplished is no more than under the old form. The National Traffic League, of which each traffic bureau in the country is member. has taken the matter up and will make fight in the courts against the enforcement of the new bill.
 One of the prominent shippers said yesterday afternoon:
 T have examined the new uniform bill of lading and l can see nothing in it that will accomplish anything more than We received under the old form. It seems to me that it is notil ing more than red tape from start to finish.
 ttAs far as I know there never has been any question raised to the re- sponsibility or liability, under the old form, either by the railroads Or the shippers, and for my part I had just as soon have receipt written on
  railroad agent as any other form. I don't know on what ground the mat ter will be attacked by the National Traffic League, but l do. know that this organization is going to make a fight against the enforcement of it.

DEATH SHOCKS ON CLOTHES LINE
Current Switched by Wire Falling
Man and Wife Are Dead.

MAIL anu WIG AIe Oedu~
San Francisco, Nov. 24.-Jean Pu-
cheau and his wife were accidentally
electrocuted in the yard of their home
in this city Sunday by coming in con-
tact with live wire. The wire had
broken during the day, falling across
the clothesline on which the family
wash was displayed. Pucheau noticed
the broken end and picked it up, the
current not having been turned on, as
the wire fed arc lights used only at
night. Pucheau fastened the loose end
to the same tree to which the clothesline
was attached and forgot all about it.
At dark the current was switched on,
and the tree began. to burn. Pucheau
started to play the hose on it, but was
warned not to do so by his neighbors.
Mrs. Pucheau, who was engaged in pre-
pairing the evening meal, suddenly re-
membered the clothes on the line, and
determined to take them in. Before
she could be warned of the danger she
touched the clothes wire, which was in
contact with the electric light wire,
and was instantly killed. Pucheau
rushed to her aid and as ne raised the
body his head touched the clothes wire,
and he fell dead across the body Of his
wife. The neighbors hurried to the
scene, but nothing could be done, death
having been instantaneous.
