VALUE OF BAGGAGE MUST BE
STATED.
to Interstate Commerce
Law, In EfC t Wednesday, Makes
Change Both Carriers and Owners.

Under an amendment Of the inter-
state commerce law which becomes ef-
fcctive June 2. 1915, carriers are liza
bic for the full actual loss or damage
to baggage or other property shipped
over their lines due to carelessness or
negligence, and shipper must specif
cally state in writing the value Of
the baggage or other property, and
the carriers shall not in any case be
liable beyond the amount so specifi-
cally stated. This will mean that
every piece of baggage that is check
ed for an interstate journey will have
TO be declared by the owner for the
value contained, and no baggage will
be accepted until it is so declared.
This is a new act and it is rot one
that meets with thorough approx
al Of everyon. The trials of the
baggage man are great and many,
and this seems to he an added impo-
sitiOn on him. The travelling public
also do not seem to be pleaserd with
the thought Of having to declare the
value Of each piece Of baggage check
ed, and being liable to arrest for mis-
demeanor which the over, or under
estimation of baggage value is ad-
justed.
Railroad men are now being sup
piled with the orders by which this
new act will be operated. The orders
are full and are very accurate in
their demands.
| Whenever q passenger declares his
property to be in excess Of $25, like
wise whenever passenger declares
his baggage to be in excess of 500,
the agent will require him to sign
declaration on the regular form of
excess baggage check. which declara-
ton is to be forwarded to the auditor
of passenger accounts in the usual
manner.
In the case of baggage or other
property being left behind by ship
per. any agent asking that same be
forwarded must certify in his letter
or telegram that he has obtained
declaration of value and has collect
ed any charges due thereon for ex-
cess value.
1t must be borne in mind consist
ly that If for any reason the declara-
ton of value cannot be obtained. the
baggage or other property must not
be forwarded.
A journey within the limits Of the
state will not necessarily call for
declaration Of this baggage, but all
interstate Journeys will demand that
such baggage as is carried shall be
declared before it is moved by the
carrier.
The rule works both ways. To mis-
represent the value of ones baggage
is misdemeanor whether it is over
estimated or under estimated.

CONSTABLES HAVE POWER.
Magistrate Lunz Passes on Point Re-
Gently Raised.

Charleston, June 1.-The question
which arose last week wether State
constables under Sheriff Martin had a
right to act in violations of the States
laws, other than the diSpensarv stat
utes, was settled yesterday. When the
case or j. {. Smith, charged with con-
ducting gambling house, was re-
opened, Magistrate Lunz ruled that
the State consta bles had authority to
act Just as any other officer of th~
peace in the States employ, and that
they could make arrests for any in
fractions of the law they see fit.
Smith was held for the court Of gem
eral sessions and in default of bail in
the sum of $1,000, was taken to iail
from the magistrates court. II Is
charged that while raiding a blind tig-
er on the premises of no. 159 King
street, yesterday IA week ago, skin"
game was found i'm progress and that
cafuS Werc seen IN connection with
the raid. Two alleged players who
were arrested were acquitted when
tried in the civil and criminal court.
II is charged that Smith conducted a
barber shop, IA front of tho stabIish-
mont, a blind tiger next. and a gam
bling room in the rear.

WISH TO RAISE FUNDS.
ShrincrS Want to Take Patrol and
Drum. Corps to Seattle Meeting Of
imperial Shrine.

Columbia, May 31.-If plans Of
Omar temple now forming and the eff
forts of the potentate and mobiles of
the Shrine succeed, South Carolina
will claim a large place in the sun
at the meeting of the Imperial Shrine
in Seattle, Wash, in July. 1t had been
expected that the temple would be
able to bear the expense Of the band
and patrol to the Washington me,
trOpolis, but at the ceremonial session
it was found that the state of the
treasury would not permit. The men
Of the two organizations were not dis
mayed and at once set about seeking
other ways of bringing the mountain
to Hohamet when Mohamet could not
go to the mountain.
A meeting was held in Charleston,
at which Potentate r. A. Cooper and
Recorder Henry A. Strohecker met
Capt. Pierre Mazyck of the band.
Capt. G.. J. Mcdowell of the patrol.
Lieut.. Frank Ehrlich, Lieut.. Parrott,
Lieut.. Freyschmidt and Noble
Boineau, chief musician of the band.
1t was decided at this meeting to
request the potentate to issue call
on members of Omar temple for a
contribution of $40 each to defray the
! expenses of the two organizations to
Seattle and return. The individual
members of the organizations will
raise $4,000. The expense of the
trip will be about $4,000, leaving
about $4,000 to be raised by the men,
bers of the temple. With the poten-
tate as chairman, a committee has
been appointed to look after the
matter This committee is composet
of Pierre Mazyck, G. ]. Mcdowell,
Frank Ehrlich, Junius Parrott,
Charles E. Boineau and w. +. Gray.
The potentate has addressed a let
ter to every Shriner in South Carolina
urging him to come to the support Of
the band and patrol.
Frank f. Ehrlich of Columbia has
been named as treasurer Of the fund
and remittances will be made to him.
The funds must be in the hands Of
Mr.. Ehrlich not later than June 10
and the Shriners Of the State will
have to work with a will to raise the
necessary amount.
Mr.. Ehrlich has communicated with
prominent members Of the temple in
various cities of .ne State urging
their cooperation and it is believed
that the amount will be readily sub
scribed
The members of the patrol reside
at Charleston and Sumter, while the
band and drum corps members live
at Columbia. The progress Of the or
ganiZations in the two years of their
existence has been remarkable and
their performances have featured all
ceremonial sessions since their or
ganization.
1t is believed that the South Caro-
lima representatives will take high
rank with the several hundred bands
and patrols to attend the meeting OF
the Imperial Shrine at Seattle.

COTTON WAREHOUSE CAMPAIGN.
State Warehouse Commissioner Mc.
Laurin Prepares Bill for Georgia
and Alabama.

Columbia, June 3.-The Georgia and
Alabama legislatures meet in July,
and by request State Warehouse Conn
missioner John l.. McLaurin has pre-
pared State warehouse bills for intro
duction. Senator J. o. Adams, of
Georgia, will lead the fight, and Mr..
McLaurin has agreed to go before the
committee to whom the bin is re-
ferred. Accompanying these bills is
one to regulate the grading of cot
ton. which was drafted to introduce
in the South Carolina legislature last
winter.
Congressman William H. Murray.
Of Oklahoma, has also requested copies
of these bills, and They will be pre-
sented to the legislature Of that State
when it next assemblies. There can be
no doubt that there is a systematic
and determined effort on foot all over
the South to conserve the waste from
the farm to the mill.
Mr.. McLaurin said that 1--WE have a
law of weights and measures. which is
applied to every product except cot
ton. A man is severely punished who
shortens the yardstick or lessons the
bushel or pound. Why not cotton ?
The United States has established
grades for cotton. but to he effective
in law, there must be State legisla-
tion formally adopting the standard
and fixing penalty for the violation
thereof. We have legal weighers;
why not legal graders"
The bill to regulate the grading of
cotton is as follows:

tenant.

Paris.-From the accounts given by
wounded soldiers and others who
have returned from the front, the story
OF the French charge which marked
the critical point in the new offensive
movement is being gradually pieced
together. One point on which there is
a general agreement is the great speed
with which the movement was exc.
cuted.
A Colonial infantryman who was
wounded in the fighting between
Souain and Suippes, in the Cham
payne, says:
Our captain said to us at the mo-
ment for the charge, You'll have to
run hard, for we are in the first wave
of men, And we did run. When we
came to the first trench we leaped
over 1t with stab at the occupants.
You could hear nothing but the hoarse
breathing Of your neighbors and the
roar of the guns.
Bullets whistled about everybody's
ears from one side, evidently from ma
chine guns.
Our captain shouted, Stop at that
redoubt' We were just in time. Three
machine guns were pumping away at
us and several others were being
brought out of a tunnel. We
bayOnetted them back and front.
You've got to be quick in a charge
like that. A second lost means death.
1t is speed alone that counts"
Lieutenant c., of the Colonial
infantry, who was wounded in the
Artois district, protests at stories that
Germans surrendered without resist
ing.
1T is only at the last moment, when
they realize that their fire cannot stop
us, that they ground their arms and
throw up their hands," the lieutenant
said, Even then most Of them don't
give in, but fight on with trench knives
and revolvers.
