SHIPPER RISK RULE DEAD
Provision Knocked Out by Interstate
Commerce Commission.
OMAHA MEN saw IT RIGHT
Transportation Committes of Omaha
CommeretsI club Thus wins
Biz Fight for the
West.

Omaha shippers had the correct idea OF
the '110 per cent shippers risk rule when
Il was proposed by the railroads In western
classification territory, as shown by the
report Of the Interststs Commerce commits
SIGN. notice Of which has just been sent TO
all members OF the National Industrial
Traffic league.
II was the transportation committee of
tho Commercial club OF Omaha that first
discovered the deceptive and innocent look
ing provision made by the railroad COM
parties and the protest OF the Omaha club
hastened the matter before the Interstate
Commerce commission. -r'
This is the ttrfe which the railroads pro-
POSED to enforce:
No carrier or party in possession of the
property for. which commodity rate IL pro-
vided in tbs tariff shall be liable for any
beyond It's control. or by floods or by fire.
or by quarantine. floods. riots, strikes or
stoppaEe Of labor, or by leakage, eakag

live poultry or live fish. tearing cutting
bund. es. Termination of liquids. chipping
of stone or manufactures thereof. injuries
Of live an mails to themselves or each other,
or = property carried on open cars.
Shippers who do not desire to toreward
shipments under above provision must note
on shipping order or bill Of lading car,
rler's Risk" in which case an additional
charge OF 20 per cent will be made.
short End for shipper.
When Omaha shippers read the provision
they saw nothing but an advance in rates
or the shifting 81 practically all RESPONSE
bility for shipments from the carrier to the
shipper. They protested that IL the rail-
road companies we're charging 20 per cent
FOR insurance, the rate was too high and II
they simply wanted to r%enounce all re-
sponsiblllty for merchandise consigned over
their lines. It was not possible TO do so
within the Law. Anyway they could look
at It they would have TO prove that the
damage TO shipments was because of neg
llgence on the part OF the carrier and that
would be hard TO do.
Other commercial clubs took up the mat
tor and the Interstate Commerce commits
sion held that II was a mischievous prac-
tice for carriers TO publish in their tariffs
and on their bills OF iAding rules and regu-
lations which are misleading, unreasonable
or Incapable OF literal enforcement in a
court OF law, and that a stipulation that
an additional charge Of 20 per cent shall
be collected on property that is shipped
not subject to limited libnity is unreason-
able.
THE holding OF the commission entirely
l~ustifjes the position, taken by the CONNER
rial club OF Omaha and other shippers,
and it is believed the 100 per cent carriers
risk rule Is now a thing OF the past.

MORE TROOPS NEEDED.

Springfield, Aug. 15.-Governor De-
neen tonight, on a report from General
Young that sufficient troops were not
at hand ordered out the second rer-
iment and commanded the seventh
regiment to hold itself in readiness for
a call. Both are Chicago regiments.
Donegan was a cobbler respected as
a simple and unOffensive citizen. His
shop was within two blocks of the
state house. Tonight in the absence
of a patrol, the mob set fire to his
shop and the venerable negro was
compelled by smoke to run into the
street. His appearance was greeted
by shower of stones and bricks and
he staggered under the fusilade and
he was seized and his throat cut. A
rope was then run through the wound
and the victim was bound to a tree.
He was found later unconscious and
all but dead, DR.. Tuttle. who dressed
the wounds reported that death was a
matter of hours. A witness to the fir
ing of the shop turned in an alarm but
when the firemen approached the
blaze was out. 1t had not gained
enough headway and had been ex-
tinguished by some Of the cooler head
ed members of the mob.

cording to the report of the police, oc-
CURED at Spring and Edwards streets

THE LEPER
LEFT ALONE
The Death Yesterday of
General WardweII
Insane and Isolated the
Wife is Unaware of Her
Husbands Departure.

Tombstone, Aug. 15.-With one pa
quarantine quarters here. there was
added a tragic record today to the al
ready remarkable history of the leper
case which has caused wide spread
notoriety and occupied the attention
of the Arizona and Washington au-
thorities the past several weeks.
At 80 o'clock this afternoon, Cen
eral d. X. Wardwell died while in
quarantine with his demented wife
who bears unmistakeable evidence Of
leprosy. Her suffering from the COM
bined effects of the terrible malady
and the nervous strain following the
Iattendant notoriety has dethroned her
reason and she is totally unaware that
her husband is dead.
Wardwell, although not afflicted
with leprosy had steadfastly and con-
stantly remained with his wife and
shared her troubles with a devotion
and loyalty that commanded profound
admiration. The deceased was a vet
eran of the Mexican and Civil wars.
He was recognized as a fine organiZ
er and disciplinarian, and was highly
recommended in the report of General
Franklin Martindale, McClelland, Port
er, Emory and Hicks for distinguished
service. Probably the woman will re-
main isolated here and cared for until
her death. An effort is being made to
secure the pardon of her brother ia
the penitentiary to nurse her.

A FRENCH EXPLORER
AFTtR THF SOUTH POLE
His Quest Will Be Aided BY Several
Ice Automobiles.

Havre, Aug. 15.-Acclaimed by a
great crowd including representatives
Of the government, the steamer Pour
quot. left here yesterday on voyage
of discovery to the south pole. The
expedition is a private one headed by
DR.. Jean Charcot, who led a similar
voyage in 1905. In addition to a num-
ber of young scientists there was a
crew with him on board.
After reaching AleXander's land. NJ.
CharcOt plans to continue the cruise
in a southwesterly direction to explore
and define the southern limits of the
Pacific ocean and determine accurate
ly whether or not there is a vast con-
tinent extending as far south as the
pole itself. The expedition is fitted
out for three years, but the members
expect to live largely on the results of
hunting and fishing in the Antartic.
A feature of the expedition is several
ice automobiles with which explorers
hope to push south over the ice fields.

ling gun section. Two of the infantry
regiments are scattered throughout
the city at various points, the first
regiment being held in reserve and the
fourth for patrol duty. In the face of
this display of force it is not thought
likely that mobs will be permitted to
form. The determination of the state
to preserve order is shown in the fol-
lowing statement given by Governor
Deneen this evening:
1T is as intolerable as it is mex
cusable. The idea Of wreaking VEN
geance on a race for the crimes of one
of its members is utterly repugnant
to all notions of law and justice. No
government can maintain its self
respect and permit it. Our state will
not permit 1t. The entire resources of
the state viii be drawn upon if neces-
sary to protect every citizen of Spring
field in his person and property. Those
who violate the law must suffer the
consequences"
As a further pre- caution, all business
establishments in the city were closed
tonight at O'c,, CH. Saloons and Ii

THE COMFORTING OF BRYAN

Lincoln, Aug. 15.-Added to the
prophesy of Tammany Leader Murphy
that New York will be found for Bry
an in November, Fred p. Morris, a
former member of the Illinois legisla
ture, said that that state also could
be considered in the democratic column
and caused satisfaction at Fairview to-
day. Bryan got much comfort out of
the prediction yesterday Of State
Chairman Corners that the Empire
state was safely for him, but the ad-
ditional assurances of Murphy, who is
considered as being in very close touch
with the political situation in New
York, was more than welcome news to
the democratic candidate.
With the exception of the talk with
Morris, no political conference was
held today and Bryan thus was ena-
bled to dispose of much accumulated
work.

Berlin, Aug. 15-The approaching
fight between Lasker and Tarrasch
for the worlds championship In chess
is looked forward to with lively inter
est, not only in chess circles, but with
the general public. The project of a
meeting between the two masters has
been talked of for fourteen years,
since the time when Lasker. by defeat
ing Seintz, gained the title of cham
pion.
The two leaders of the chess world
will come together thanks to the eff
forts of the German chess union, which
succeeded in arousing the interest of
the players all over the empire and OBJ
tanning the necessary guaranty fund.
Lasker and Tarrascb will play the first
series of matches in Dusseldorf, begin
ming August II, and a further series in
Munich at . later date. The sum of
$3.50 has been collected to be offered
as a prize, the larger portion of the

Springfield, Aug. 15.-Springfield,
the city which is the richest in mem
ories of the great emancipation tonight

yesterday gave vent to their hatred of

ed free and equal with all other peo-
pies in the country. Squads of soldiers
are patrolling the down town streets
and the troubled portions of the COM
munity and entire battalions are
watching over the lives and property
Of the negroes.
Sobered by a recollection of the
tragic events of last night and this
morning, the city quoted down and
only the murmured threats of the
friends of those who were killed or
wounded in street trays give evidence
that the presence of troops is neces-
sary. 1t is this murmuring however,
that is keeping the authorities on the
anxious seat.
Early today the friends of William
Bowe county official, who was so
seriously hurt that he is lowering be-
tween life and death, almost succeeded
in cnlisting followers for a raid Of
