NATIONAL TRAFFIC LEAGUE
REVIEWS LADING BILL WAR
FIGHT Begun In Earnest on Uniform
Manifest-commIttee to coIIate
Objections by Next
Meeting

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-The National
Industrial Traffic league has begun
anew its fight on the new uniform Dill
of lading.
At a meeting held yesterday the ex-
ecutive committee of the league in
structed the bill of lading committee to
collate all of the objections to the uni
form bill of lading and present them
to the executive committee at its jan
uary meeting.
In addition to this the executive com
mittee is to try to get the railroads TO
reconsider the clause of the bill whicn
provides for a 10 per cent advance IN
the rate when the carrier accepts ship
ments at carrner's risk, or when the
shipper does not wish to abide by the
restrictions of the bill of lad1ng.
1t is understood the league did not
receive much encouragement from the
Interstate commerce commission with
respect to an attack on the bill, but II
Is thought that If the railroads persist
in the 10 per cent clause the matter VIII
be taken into the courts.
1t Is contended by the shippers that
to charge more than the extra insur-
ance upon shipments is illegal, and that
this extra insurance cannot be meas
ured at the same figure for all COM
mOditieS.

SPITEFUL KING CUTS

Yields to Influence of
Mrs. keppel
SPECIAL DISPATCH 70 THE CALL

LONDON, June 26.-The king has
stricken from his guest list the name
of Arthur Ponsonby. former secretary
to the late premier Henry Campbell
Bannerman. on account of his voice in
parliament in condemnation of Ed
wards state visit to the car. This act
of seemingly petty spite upon the part
of the king has caused much comment.
The kings temper lately has been
anything but sweet owing to losses
on the turf and the public criticism of
his Russian visit. and he is perfectly
furious with everybody, especially with
Asquith. The truth is that the king has
been so fattered and fawned upon ne
has developed quite autocratic ways.
which are causing endless trouble and
friction with his cabinet.
He claims the deciding voice in all
matters relating to the army and navy.
Several times lately War Secretary Hal
doane has been obliged to invoke the
soothing influence of Mrs. George KEEP

Says the Laws Protect
Racetrack Gambling
District Attorney Brown Says
New Statutes Are Needed to :
Check Alleged Evil

OAKLAND, June 26.-"The laws on
the statute books of the state of Cali
fornia were put there purposely to pro-
tect gambling at the racetracks- 1
realized the full force OF this situation
when examined the law recently. The
time has arrived when the people of
California should know what is the
matter. Unless they are advised the
state legislature will accomplish moth
ing toward correcting vicious state of
affairs"
Thus spoke Everett ]. Brown. district
attorney of Alameda county, today in
reply to a query as to his attitude tow
ard .the racetrack problem The
quoted words form the subject of an
address which District Attorney Brown
will deliver the evening of July 2 at
the First Methodist church. The an
nouncement has stirred general inter-
est in view of the existence of the
Emeryville track within Browns off,
cial jurisdiction. The district attorney
struck hard from the shoulder tonight
when he expressed himself on the rae
ing situation. He said:
Il suppose that as a politician. So
called, / am rushing in where angels
fear to tread, but the situation demands
immediate attention. Unless the public
is aroused candidates for the legisla-
ture this fall are apt to pass by this
momentous question. With the public
eye focused upon them nominees for
legislative positions are not so likely
to overlook the case. 1t simply means
that the state must enact a sweeping
law which shall prohibit all pool sell
ing and gambling on horse races at
all times and all places in the state.
:. las our laws stand, I assert that
they protect the racetrack gambling
and designedly so. 1 have examined
the law at the instance of persons
who are much interested in shutting
down racetrack gambling 1t is patent
that there is no law at present on the
statute books which can thus be in
voked.
There is not doubt in my mind
that seven eighths OF the people in
California are opposed to racetrack
gambling. and there is also no ques-
ton in my mind that the time has come
for action.
''The matter has appealed to me
forcibly and 1 purpose next week. in
my address on the subject. to go to
the bat and tell some plain truths on
this subject and a few correlated
ones"

.TROOP[RSSCOUR
SIERRA FOREST
FOR LOST man
Tennie Archibald, Real Estate
Man, Disappears in Wilds
of Sequoia Park
Becomes Separated From Worth
Ryder, His Companion.
During Outing
General Funston Promptly Or
ders Regulars to Make Most
Thorough, Search

United States troopers were or
dered by General Funston yesterday
to scour the forests of the Sequoia ma
tional park in an effort to find Tennie
Archibald, young San Francisco
real estate man who lost himself in
that wild section of the country six
days ago.
Archibald, accompanied by Worth
Ryder, an art student, left Berkeley
two weeks ago on an outing in that
community 1t was their intention to
await the arrival of the Sierra club
and accompany it on a trip through
the mountains, but six days ago Archi-
bald went for walk by himself and
has not been seen since. His friend
waited the day through for his return.
and the next day made a round of the
adjacent camps, but could find no trace
of him. In his desperation he put the
matter into the hands of Captain Cor
nelius C. Smith, in command of Troop
G of the Fourteenth cavalry, which is
guarding the park and is encamped
there.
Captain Smith got into instant COM
munication with General Funston, and
was ordered to hunt for Archibald.
The troopers started out Immediately.
Not a moment was lost and by night
fall mounted men in couples were
swinging through the forests. Every
available man was put on the job, and
before they return to their camp every
foot of the ground will have been COW
cred.
The Sequoia national park lies in the
Sierra forest reserve, south of the Yo-
semitic valley. Few have explored It.
1t is wild and, in spots, almost i'm
penetrable section of land. So wild is
it that the chances are that Archibald
has not strayed far. the probabilities
being that he has fallen down and in
jured himself in one of the numerous
and steep ravines.
Archibald's residence is at Cambridge
and Russell streets, Berkeley, and his
Office is located in San Francisco. He
was graduated from Dartmouth col
lege two years ago and Immediately
after entered the real estate business
here. Worth Ryder, who accompanied
him, is a graduate of the University
of California, and is taking an art
course in New York.
The work of the troopers will be a
hard one. The countless ravines and
gulches will make the search extreme
ly difficult.
