TROOPS ID PREVENT
 ULSTER OUTBREAK
Highland Infantry and Scottish BOrderers
 Sent to Belfast

Belfast, September 25.-Regiments of
 Highland light infantry and Scottish
 Borderers will be drafted into Bel
 fast tomorrow morning in anticipation
 of trouble Saturday. Ulster Day. when
 the covenant in defiance of home rule
 is to be signed by U1sterites. The Royal Irish rifles. already stationed here, are confined to barracks in read mess for emergencies.
 More than a thousand members of "Young Citizen Volunteers of Ireland were enrolled tonight. The new organ ization is to assist when called upon by the civil authorities in the main- tenance of peace.
 The demonstration at Portadown to- l day was one of the most remarkable of the campaign, owing to the display of armed force and the enormous num- Der of Orangemen and unionists who assembled to greet Sir Edward Car son and other unionist leaders. Sir Ed ward declared that they were per forming the obsequiec of home rule. Frederick E. Smith, M. P, for Liver pool, expressed the opinion that the battle already was won. He added: "The government, even if it has the Irw ick edness, wholly lacks the nerve to order the British army to use coercion in Ulster" The streets of Belfast are being gaily decorated for Saturday.
 There has been an enormous sale of union jacks.
 Portadown, Ireland, September 25.-The Ulster campaign took on a militant at- titude today when 2o,000 orangemen and unionists assembled to register their pro test against home rule. From the mo- ment Sir Edward Carson, the unionist leader, who came here from Belfast, alighted at the station, where he was received with guard of honor, until the procession arrived at the grounds
 where the chief demonstration was held,
 everything savored of military style and discipline.
 It was not permissible to carry arms; so the unionst clubmen bore dummy rifles The clubmen, divided into horse, foot and artillery, with bamboo poles in- stead of larces, and union jacks in- stead of pennons, escorted Sir Edward. The speeches at the demonstration which was attended by Lord Londonderry, Sir John Lonsdale and other prominent union ists, breathed a strong fighting spirit. Crumlin, Ireland, September 25.-Lord Templetown, founder of the unionist clubs of Ireland, at anti-home rule demon- stration here tonight, declared that if
 the King signed the home rule measure
 tomorrow it would sbe an unconstitutional act.
 Capt James Craig, member of parlia-
 ment for Down, advised the Ulster men
 to continue drilling.
 Philadelphia, September 25.-Pledges of
 contributions aggregatng sl35,o0o within
 the next two days, to advance the cause
 of home rule in Ireland, were made here
 today by delegates to the biennial con
 vention of the United Irish league of
 America
 Michael J. Ryan, city solicitor of this
 city, was reelected president of the
 league.
 No place was chosen for another con-
 vention, as the delegates believe that
 before another two years the cause for
 which the league was organized will have
 been accomplished.

Quotes Willison

Nr. Haight then quoted from the find ngs of Prof. Samuel Willison of the liar yard law school, who made an exhaustive examination of the bills of lading laws of foreign countries. Professor Willison found, That the carrier is liable on a bill of ladlng issued where no goods have been received" and he adds that it may be safely assedted that this rule is the law prevailing outside the English-speaking nations"
 Tt is therefore, in Great Britain and her colonies" MT. Haight said and the United States alone, that legislation is necessary to produce the first requirement. of safe bill of lading.
 For the protection of our own people and the preservation of our credit in for egn trade, I urge upon Congress the im- mediate enactment of a law under which one who in good faith, advances money or credit upon a bill of lading issued by common carrier upon an interstate or foreign shipment can hold the carrier liable for the value of the goods described in the bill at the valuation specified in the bill, at least to the extent of the ad- vances made in reliance upon it. Such liability exists under the laws of many of the states.
 In conclusion, MT. Haight praised the plan of the cotton bills of lading central bureau in New York by which, he said. shippers and buyers were protected from forgery through the filing of cotton bills of lading forwarded to the bureau by the railroads
 Allard Makes Report
 report favoring the movement initiated by the Belgian government to harmonize the tabulations of the worlds commercial statistics was in- dorsed by a report presented by Flu gene Allard, president of the Belgian Chamber of Commerce of Paris.
 The report says in part:
 "The unanimous favor for the adop tion of a common nomenclature will make it possible for each country, at the end of it's fiscal year. to compile the supplementary table adopted by the Brussels conference, without awaiting the creation of an interna- tional bureau, the purpose of which has been so well realized by it's sup porters.
 "While looking forward to a uniform definition of gross weight and net weight in the application of customs duties. and of valuation of merchant disc, from their places of production and origin, the commercial world would be interested to see the inaug- uration of the supplementary table adopted by the conference, which would permit it to make for itself the sta tistical comparisons whose necessity Is becoming more and more essential.
 "The establishment of an interna- tional bureau of commercial statistics will meet a want of commerce every where, which will be glad to see the publication of report (which might be at first annual and later semi-an- nual), to show as completely as pos sible and for all the countries of the globe the importations and exporta- tions of the various articles of mer- chandise, each grouped under uni form description"

 "They have suspected the Southern Pacific railroad owned the supreme court of that great and beautiful state that stretches her fair acres up and down the coast of the Pacific, because of that they have said, We are going to go to the heart of this matter and dislodge those men who have been con trolling our affairs This thing that grows like a canker in our vitals must be cut out; though, grant you, it must be cut out with the skill and the Knowledge and the tenderness of the surgeon who will not disturb the vital tissues to which this ugly thing is at tached."
 Tribute to LaFOllette Continuing tonight along the lines of progressive principles, Governor Wilson paid high tribute to the po- litical aggressiveness of Senator Ia- Toilette and declared himself as close ly akin to progressives of his type and those who arosse in Iowa in oppo- sition to the protective tariff. The gov ernor incidentally made reply to some of the declarations in President Taft interview in the New York Evening world today:

.HA|GHT REPORTS ON BILLS OF LAD|NG Exports of World Total
 S57,000 Per Minute ARE TWO ESSENTIALS Bill of Lading Must Be Binding Upon Carrier-Allard Favors
 Plan to Hormonize the
 Worlds Statistics

Boston, September 25.-Dangers of Joss to shippers through irregularity in documents issued by agents of rail- roads and other carriers were discussed at length by Charles S. Haight of New York city before the International Congress of Chambers of Commerce to- day.
 In closing his remarks MT. Haight recommended: That the congress pass resolutions favoring legislation now pending before the United States Con- gress to make carriers responsible; that the delegates express their ap- proval of the work of the cotton bills of lading central bureau of New York and that they recommend to the per manent committee the question of the desirability of calling an international conference on uniform laws as to the responsibility of carriers.
 These recommendations were adopted; 1;
 In his report before the fifth Inter national Congresses of Chambers Of Commerce and of Commercial and ln- dustrial associations on through bills of lading. Charles $. Haight de-
 clared that the importance of such biiis of lading could hardly be over exagser- ated and gave as an example Of the im7
 portance of rev legislation the enormous
 amount of exporting now carried on be- tween the 34 leading commercial eoun-
 tries of the world These countries, MT Haight estimated as exporting at the rate of S2, 5O0000 worth of merchandise per
 month. or about s57,000 per minute. The two essentials of bill of lading, MT. Haight declared, were: d) That 1t must be binding upon the carrier whose agent has issued it. whether the goods have been received or not, after il has passed into the hands of an innocent pur- chaser CD It must be protected against forgery.
 Continuing, MT. Haight said: Probably everyone will agree that good paper money must fulfill at least two requirements: It must be Issued by a bank or a government which Is abund- antly responsible, and 1t must be safe-
 guarded in every possible way against the counterfeiter If a Bank of Eng land note, or one of our own gold cer- tifcates were printed on ordinary paper, without water mark, coior-tint or other protective device, so that the merest bungler could counterfeit it with abso- l lute impunity, it would be practically l worthless as money.

The Lawyers Knew.

Wichita lawyers are yet talking
about the way Wallace b. Baker, who
was found guilty last week in the dis
trict court of selling mortgaged prop
erty. showed his ignorance of mar
ried life. The prosecuting attorney
was trying to show that Baker wasn't
married. He asked Baker the follow
ing questions:
Did you ever send your wife any
dresses?"
Yes, sent her four dresses"
What kind of dresses did you send
herr"
Il sent her one good dress and
three common dresses"
How much did you pay for the
good dress, Mr.. Baker?"
"Oh, ! guess about $3.50"

The hired man who welded the hammer
SO grimly,
The bladder we whanged in our gay
childish ways:

the brine,
The sniff Of the nose and the squint OF In

The satisfied '"Umph!'' that the bacon
was fine.
The old-fashioned bacon, the streak-o'-
