USE OF LIABILITY SLIPS
Benefit TO TRAVELLERS
Union Station Officials Point Out
Method of Avoiding Confusion
and Delay.

That confusion and much delay could
be avoided if travellers would carry
baggage liability slips with them or
keep them at home. where they could
be filled out leisurely, is the belief of
officials at the Union station.
The filing of liabilnty slips is done in
connection with all shipments Of bag
gage by reason of the Cummins amend
ment to the interstate commerce act,
requiring traveller to make a state
ment as to the value of the articles in
his trunk or suit case.
At the Union station the force Of bag
gage checkers has been increased, SO
that persons reaching the station with
in few minutes of train time will not
be unusually delayed. I'VE do not
know of single case of man miss
ing a train because of the new law"
said an official of the baggage room.
In addition to the regular force, men
are called in from other branches OF
station work when large numbers
storm the baggage counter.
All required of the passenger is that
he mark the value of the satchefs con-
tents on the slip. Then the baggage
man puts the number Of the regular
baggage check on it makes a trip to
his desk, and the checking is COM

gazed ruefully upon the railroad time
tai bles Mr. Cochran. he it known, was
wondering how he would get to the Windy
city to he married, as business in Wash

ton each night.
However. Mr.. Cochran had picked up
considerable initiative when he was a
young reporter in Chicago. Also that's s
where he met the lady who until yester-

he could not leave the city to be married
at Miss Meaghers home then there was
no reason why Miss Meagher should not
come to Washington to be married.

DEMAND FOR SAILING CRAFT.
Revival Of Building Operations at
the Maine Shipyards.

shipyards in Maine which have been
lying idle for several years past or
have been devoting themselves to re-
pair work are having an awakening,
and at several of them wooden vessels
are on the stocks and plans are being
prepared for the building of others
The fact that most of the big four
masted and fve-masted schooners have
gone into the ofY-shore trade and are
carrying cargoes to South America has
made the demand for sailing craft
good. Three schooners are building or
will be started at Bath, Me, shpyards
within the next week or two
The Gardner G. Deering Company will
begin this month work on a five-
masted schooner of the type Of the
Courtney c. Houck, now in the Florida
phosphate rock trade. Percy & Small
are to build a four-masted schooner,
and a three-masted schooner is under
construction at the yard of Frank g.

BAY BUSINESS Is LIGHT,
Owners of Freight Vessels Unwill'
ing to Accept Present Rates.

While there Is great need of ves-
sells for transatlantic voyages and for
coasting trips. the demand for vessels
for freighting service on Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries has become so
light that numbers of vessel owners
have laid up their craft rather than
operate them at the prevailing freight
rates.
Lumber which month or two ago
was bringing about 80 thousand
feet freight from North Carolina to
this city and Baltimore is now being
carried at about half that rate. Fer
ltilizers and cement, being shipped from
Baltimore to points on the bay. is be-
ing carried. reports say. for 30 and 35
cents ton. About the only freight
moving on the Potomac consists of oys-
tershells from the lawer river and along
Chesa peake bay to Alexandria, and on
those cargoes u cents a bushe is being
paid. The lumber yards here are
| stocked up and less than half the
quantity of lumber that was being
brought here at this time last year, is
now arriving.
Boatmen look for better business in
the fall. but until it comes many ves-
sells will remain in docks. Advantage
will be taken Of their lay-up to give
them a general overhauling.

It's what we're doing while we re
