NEW YORK, July 18,-When the commissioners on uniform laws meet at Seattle Wash., on August 20 they will be waited upon by committees representing the great commercial bodies of this and other cities and urged to draft a bill of lading to put an end to what the shippers term the gross frauds which they declare have maue mus 01 inning ait unsate instru ment of credit. The decision to have committees appear before the com missioners, it was announced to-day, was reached as a result of the an nouncement of the Interstate ' Com merce Commission that it had not sufficient, authority to order the rail roads to revise their methods of is suing bills of lading to meet the ob jections which the commercial bodies liave raised against the Instruments in their present form. It is the pre sent plan to have the new bill which is expected to be drafted by the com missioners on uniform laws introduced at the next session of congress. A decision of the interstate commerce niercial commission announced early this week contained recommendations em bodied in the demand of the shippers but' the commission decided that it lacked the power to enforce these recommendations. It was in view of this, and the belief that the railroads would not accept the recommenda tions of the commission that the plan announced to-day waa formulated. transacted on bills of lading is appar ent from figures of the year 1907, which show that goods valued at $17 000,000,000 were shipped on the bills in that year alone. . The commercial interests have been trying for the past three years to compel the carriers to issue them separate bills of lading forms in order to differeniate between the ordinary receipt and the more im portant "order" bill which is used as a basis of credit in the transportation of the country's crops particularly the cotton and grain crops of the South and West and manufactured products. The shippers have de manded also that the railroads compel the surrender of the instrument upon delivery of the property to the con signee, several extensive swindles having been perpetrated against lenders by means of bills of lading that were not so surrendered. As the railroads have fought the proposed changes from the first, representatives of the commercial bodies of this city say they do not expect the "recom mendations 1 of the Interstate Com merce Commission to change the situation at all. They believe, how ever, that whatever action is taken by the commissioners on uniform state laws will be approved by Congress, the commissioners consist of repre sentatives from the several states, ap pointed by their respective governors. L. .Mandel Baum of the Bill of Lad ing Committee of the Cotton Ex change; Theodore F. Whitmarsh, vice president, of the wholesale Groc ers Association and Chas. F. Droeste of the Bill of Lading Committee of the Mercantile Exchange, in inter views given out today all express the fear that if the alleged abuses are not corrected by Congress early in its session, credits wil be seriously cur tailed, and in consequence all com- ntcrests severely handicap- against Fresjdent Gompers and the officers of the American Federation of Labor and fifty officers and mem bers of the Denver Building Trades Council, the Trades Unionists gave first blood in the battle being waged to attempt to securi damages from the Union men in the amount of $50, 000 and to jail some of them for al- of similar tenor, he claims that Cab- reara is favoring American residents to the exclusion of Germans and members of other nations, lit main tains, that the past representatives of -the United States have been per ststently misrepresenting conditions in Guatemala which he says are more appalling ' than those which existed in Cuba during the Weyler reign or wiuiij. i-iisw his i'iuus ui.wmcn nave Deen recently reported in Geo. C. Mailcy, attorney for the Hayti the Congo and Macedonia. Dr. Marble Company, to have Gompers and the officers of the American Fed eration of Labor declared in contempt of court for failure to appear before a notary public yesterday suffered com plete defeat. Papers in the suit were served on Gompers, John Mitchell, John B. Lennon and James Ducan of the American Federation of Labor last week when they came to Denver to attend the meting of , the executive council and appeared before the res olutions committee of the national democratic convention. As soon as the summonese were served Manley subpoenaed the labor leaders to ap-j pear before a notary public to make depositions as to their knowledge of the case. On advice of counsel they decided to ignore the subpoenaes and left the city. Judge Allen upheld the contention of the'attorneys of the labor leaders that they were not com peled to make depositions in a civil case on the ground that their testi mony might tend to incriminate them in prosecutions pending. Prowe claims the result of Cabrera's rule or ruin policy will be a protec torate either jointly wielded by the United States and Mexico or by one of the nations singly. Dr. Prowe names a number of Americans as be ing implicated in graft in connection with the recent Honduran trouble. VOLCANO'S CRATER ped. LABOR LEADERS WIN Ignore Subpoenas Served on Them While in Denver. DENVER, Colo. July 18-Throtigh a decision handed down yesterday by District Judge Allen in the case . of AIDED ROOSEVELT FUND Peculiar Story of Guatemala Presi dent Giving $10,000. The tremendous volume of business the Thompson Marble Company MEXICO CITY, July 18. In a long article published under the signa ture of Dr. Herman Prowe, a Ger man .formerly residing in Guatemala, the statement is made that -President Cabrera contributed $10,t)00 in gold to the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904. The statement appeared in the col umns of Deutsche Zeitung, a Oerman paper published in this capital. Dr. Prowe contends with all seriousness that this sum was paid to American Minister, Hunter, then representing the United States at the Guatemala capital. v ' In addition to columns of matter The new Crater lake National park, in Oregon, already bids fair to rival as a resort for tourists the famous Yosemite valley. People are begin ning to visit in great numbers, at tracted by the unique and spectacular scenic features which it offers, and the approach to it, .hitherto somewhat difficult, is being made much easier by a railroad now in process of con struction. Crater lake gets its name from the fact that it occupies the crater of. an extinct volcano. Five miles in dia meter, and nearly circular in shape, it is the deepest body of fresh water in America. Soundings have fixed its depth at 2,000 feet. Only one lake in the world, that of Baikal, is deeper by 400 feet. In ' other respects. however, it is altogether unique, i Encircled as it is by almost vertical cliffs which are reflected in the clear and brilliant blue of the water, it presents to the eye a spectacle un surpassed, ' : - ' As a great natural and scenic feat ure of this country, Crater lake ranks with Niagara falls and the Grand conyon of the Colorado. It is unique and in its way unrjvaled. There are in the United States hundreds of ex tinct volcanic craters, but this is our only great one, . , 1 Think of it! This mighty hole in the summit of the Cascade range is J nearly six miles in diameter and over two-thirds of a mile in depth. Once upon a time it was filled with boiling lava; today it contains a beautiful lake of fresh water, which is encircled by a ring o pteciptipus cliffs from 500 to 2,500 feet high, without break or outlet., The extraordinary depth of the lake naturally led to a widespread popular b'elief to the effect that it had no bot tom. It is a familiar kind of delusion Any small body of water, wherever found, whose bottom is beyond reach by the longest fishing lines is sure to gain the repute of being bottomless, Within two miles of New Haven, Conn., is a cleft in the hill that is oc cupied by a large pond called Lake Saltonstall. Though considerably less than 200 feet in depth, it is de clared by people who live, in its neigh borhood to have no bottom. No won der, then, that crater Jake, with' an actual depth of 2,000 feet should be imagined to possess no floor what ever! Technical World Magazine. LIPTON IS WILLING Oft Defeated Irishman Wants An other Yacht Race. , NEW YORK, July 18-Yacht chal lange rumors for ' the American cup continue to crop out with con siderable frequency this season but despite the desires that have been repeatedly expressed by Sir Thomas Lipton, the effort to draw the fire ol the New York Yacht Club, if such is really the case, toward obtaining some semi-official modification of the pres ent rules governing the deed of gift and a challenge have thus far been unavailing.
