GIVES DECISION
ON HEPBURN ACT
Commerce Commission Is Not
Granted PIenary Discretion
on Lateral Switches
New Uniform Bill OF Lading for
Miscellaneous Freight
Is Approved

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission today an
nounced a decision holding that the
Hepburn act does not grant plenary
discretion to the commission TO refuse
an application for switch connections
with lateral branch roads. 1t de-
cided that 1t is the duty or interstate
carriers to connect with a lateral
branch road if reasonably practicable,
safe and justified by sufficient business,
upon application of either the lateral
line or the shipper.
A new uniform bill Of ladinS de-
signed as a substitute for bills now
in use for the movement OF mis-
cellaneous freight and general mer-
chandise was today approved and it's
adoption recommended to the common
carriers of the country and the ship
ping public by the interstate com
merce commission.
The new bill OF lading provides two
forms printed on the face side in diff
ferent colors, one for straight and
one for order" consignments
The order bill will possess a cer-
tain degree OF negotfability. while the
Straight bill will be nonnegotiable.
The order bill must be surrendered
ON the delivery of the property TO the
consignee. This plan is expected TO
meet the requirements OF the banking
concerns of the country, which ad-
vance vast sums of money on bills OF
lading. The changes have all been in
the direction of greater simplicity IN the
interest of the shipping public.

TAFT MANAGER TO
CONTROL CAMPAIGN
Republican Nominee Simply Re-
serves to Himself Questions
of General Policy
Secretary Dover Indicates Prin-
cipal Contest Will Be Waged
in Western States

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July LII am
entirely willing TO turn the campaign
over to my manager, except as to the
question OF general policy" said Will
liam III. Taft, the presidential candidate
or the republican party today, when
questioned concerning the conduct of the
coming compaign. That the campaign
is to be conducted chiefly in the west
is conceded by political leaders who
have been here since the democratic
convention concluded it's work.
Elmer Dover, secretary OF the re-
publican national committee, arrived to-
day and had talk with Taft
The campaign will be fought in the
west" said Dover. THE selection of
the vice presidential candidate from
the west and several of the planks OF
the platform plainly indicate to me that
the democrats do not intend to make
any general effort for electoral votes in
the east, but will concentrate their ef-
forts in the west. OF course they will
contest some of the eastern states,
but If they had intended to make a
serious fight in the east they would
have selected a New York man."
George Il. Sheldon, treasurer OF the
national committee, does not intend to
permit any delay in beginning his work
of raising money for the campaign.
OllCG nave Deen mere, he said
today, Il have received q dozen checks
from men who wished to be the first to
subscribe to the campaign fund"
Sheldon declared that he will begin
the work of raising money in a system
attic manner in New York next Monday.
He left here this evening after having
played game of golf with the presi-
Dental nominee, the score being SO for
TAFT and SO for Sheldon. Taft won by
? up.
Sheldon declared today that he was
convinced that the American people
will never accept the radicalism of the
democratic convention.
Arthur !. Vorys of Ohio will be here
Monday to confer with Taft. John A
Stewart, president of the New York
state league of republican clubs. is
here.

VOTERS LINING UP
TO SMASH MACHINE
Decent Republicans of Alameda
County Aroused by Bold
Gerrymander
Southern Pacific Followers Are
Enlisted to Aid Ring at
the Primaries

OAKLAND, July lin view OF the
attempt that has been made to steal
the county by a gerrymander of as
sembly districts in the interests of the
Herrin Southern Pacific political bu-
re@u, the vote at the August primaries
OF every republican who believes in
crushing that machine will be required.
10 vote at the primaries electors
must register by July %. Anti
machine republicans can expect no as
slstance in this connection from the
county clerk, who is the head and front
or the machine. They WILL therefore,
be compelled to seek registration at the
county clerks office. A large registra-
winch Will be waged between the Her
rim politicians and those who believe
In deeency and good government.
RING ELEMENTS ENLISTED
All of the elements in Alameda
county which are behind the notorious
! county ring are being listed in the
campaign to hold that ring together.
In every precinct in Alameda county,
where controlled vote can be OBJ
tanned. that vote is going to be cast
for the machine. Every resource of the
state machine is being drawn upon for
help. The patronage nzethes San Fran
cisco harbor commissioners is being
placed at the command of the local
political machine in order to strengthen
the lines. Promises of the most ex-
travagant sort are being made to men
who might be figured as holding some
political influence to draw them into the
net. Minor politicians with perhaps a
vote or two are being urged into the
machine camp.
Not a single item is being overlooked
by the machine. 1t controls the cleo
tlon machinery, the registration records
and all that goes with them. Flushed
with the doubtful victory Of forcing
through a shameful gerrymander that
virtually disfranchises thousands of re-
publicans, the county ring has pressed
every possible element into the cam
paign.
STORM OF PROTESTS
Those who have kept closely in
touch declare that the republicans of
Alameda county will not tolerate this
gross violation of their political rights.
y storm of indignant protests has
been made in all quarters. One of the
first results of the publicity which was
given the gerrymander was to cause
flood of registrations. Men who had
not realized the situation suddenly be-
came impressed, ana look care thaC
they should be notified to cast ballot
against Herrinism August IL. On that
day delegates to the republican county
convention and the several senatorial
assembly and supervisorial nominating
conventions will be elected. The decent
republicans have their opportunity
to smash the Herrin crowd in Alameda
county, first by registering by July %,
and secondly by going to the polls on
primary day and voting in every pre-
cinct to the limit of registration.
