undervalued to obtain a lower freight
rate, under a classification permitting it,
tied the liability of the carrier according
ly. Some of the goods were injured by
freezing while in transit and upon arrival
at their destination they were rejected.
In an action for the price of the entire
shipment, Held:
1. The seller was authorized in the alb
sence of special instructions to the con-
trary to ship in the usual and ordinary
way. His authority extended no further
than to take a bill of lading of the kind
usual in such shipments and the carrier
did not become his agent to make delivery
instead of the agent of the buyer because
the liability preserved against the carrier
by the bill of lading was not sufficient to
meet the loss sustained.
,. The shipment being interstate in
character was governed by the federal
law and under the federal statutes and
decisions an interstate carrier may by
fair, open and reasonable agreement limit
the amount recoverable by a shipper to an
agreed value, understated for the purpose
of obtaining the lower of two or more
rates proportioned to the amount of risk.

l. Where one executes his promissory
note payable to third person and deliv-

whom the note is delivered to the third
person, payee, without any express limf-

possession delivers it to the payee named
therein and receives therefor his own
note which the third person had thereto

may be agreed upon between the second
and third parties in the adjustment OF the
indebt edness of the second party to the
third party; also, that by the transaction
the first party became indebted to the
third party primarily and not as surety
for the amount of the note according to
its terms.
3 In the situation recited above the
first party is substituted new debtor
by way of novation for the original debtor
and the surrender of the note of the orig

5. Evidence having been produced that
the appellee had procured the note sued
on for a valuable considera ton, the court
erred in instructing the jury, in effect
that the appellee could not recover I'M

consideration therefor. A sufficient con-

valid in the hands of the payee may be

received by the maker or a like equivalent
parted with by the payee-

SlX-YEAR-oLD coNFEssEs TO
MURDER OF PAULiLLO BOY
Genaro RaffaeIe, six years old, to-
day confessed to Police Captain
Storen that he shot and killed Vim
cenzo Paulillo, Thursday.
The youngster said he killed PauliI-
10 because PaulillO hit him over the
head with stone last Wednesday.
The boy used a heavy shot gun,
which the police had not believed him
able to handle. The charge of shot
entered the little PauliIIO's stomach.
The boy slayer was found hiding
in a stable at 948 West Polk street
today. There were traces of tears
on his face. He looked tired and hun
cry. He sobbed when questioned by
the police.
Raffaelle said that two older Ital-
ian boys who knew about the shoot
ing hid him in the stable.
Mrs. Raffaelle, sobbing, today told
the police where her boy was hiding.
She told because she feared she was
going to be arrested and that if so
her baby would be born within the
shadow of prison walls.
The youngster fatty denied that
his mother had witnessed the shoot
ing.
RaffaeIle has not been arrested be-
cause of the delicate condition of his
mother.
A police guard is being maintained
about the homes Of the Raffaelle and
PauIllo families at Y South Morgan
street.
This is because the father of the
slain boy has invited the entire
Raeffele family to a street duel and
trouble is feared.

RETIRE THIS SEASON

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 1.-That
Frank Chance, manager of the New
York Americans, will quit baseball
for good at the end of the present
season and return to his orange
ranch at Glendora, Cal, was the
statement made today by a close
friend of the P. L. This man declares
he has a letter from Chance to that
effect.

Chicago friends of Chance did not
put much faith in the report of his
retirement. They believed it was
merely another of the wild-eyed
rumors that frequently crop out re-
garding baseball men. Chance has
had a hard task to gather winning
team in New York, and now, with the
nucleus for a successful club, it is
practically certain he will stick there
and bring it from the ruck. Chance
was never known as a gutter, and his
friends declare he would never leave
baseball until he was again at the
head of first division team.
