TERMS ARE DISCUSSED Carrier Uable Whan Delivery Zs Kade to Person Wot Entitled to the Goods Shipped. The federal bill-of -lading act. passed by the session of congress Just ad journed, will be of great benefit and convenience to the shippers and busi- try. Briefly stated, the act which goes into efefct on January 1. 1917, provides "for a uniform bill of lading to be used throughout the United States in all Interstate and foreign commerce. To the laity, this statement may not hold much meaning-, but to the business man who has been compelled to study the shipping laws of each of the 48 states of the union in order to know and un derstand the restrictions and limita tions surrounding the transaction of business between those states and the state in which he lives, the bill will have a very definite significance. Law Is Considered. The act as passed exercises jurisdic tion over bills of lading covering transportation within any territory of J gar positions and then continued to the United States or the District of j advance. The French, supporting the Columbia, from any state to a foreign j Serbian right wing, also launched a country, from one state to another j terrific attack and are rnakh't; con state, and between points in the same 1 siderable progres-s northwest of Lake state when transported through anoth- Oetrovo. er state Qr country The new law provides for straight bills, those destined to a specified per son, and which are non-negotiable, and for order bills, where goods are con- j signed to the order of any person, The latter ace always negotiable, un less specified otherwise in writing by the shipper. Carriers are compelled to make de livery, in the absence of a lawful ex cuse, to the consignee specified in a straight bill, or to the holder of an order bill, where the demand is ac companied by an offer to pay the car rier's lawful lien against the goods for transportation or other charges. Carrier Held Xiable. The failure of the carrier to deliver throws the burden of proof upon it to establish a lawful excuse. The car rier is liable when delivery Is made to a person not entitled to the goods, or when it makes a delivery after being requested not to deliver to the person) having the right of property, or when , it is informed at the time of delivery : that the person was not entitled to . possession When a bill is issued by a carrier's agent, of actual I or apparent authority, the carrier is liable to the . ownet of goods in a straight bill, or to the bona-fide holder, for value of an order bill, although the goods were not received by the carrier or weto misdirected. Qoods may not be attached by gar nishment or otherwise while In the possession of the1 carrier, unless the bill be first surrendered to the carYier or its negotiation be enjoined. Has Lien on Goods. When a bill is Issued, the carrier lias a lien on the poods for all trans portation and delivery charses. The carrier is not liable for delivery after the goods have been sold to satisfy the carrier's lien, when the goods have not been claimed or when the goods are perishable or hazardous. A bill may be negotiated by its de livery to the Indorsee of an order bill, and the person to whom a bill has been negotiated acquires the same title to the goods as that held by the person negotiating It, or as the con signee or consignor had. A person negotiating or transferring a bill of lading by indorsement awar- ! rants to the transferee that the bill is genuine, that he has a legal right to transfer it, that he knows of no fact which might Impair the validity or worth of the bill, and that he has the right to transfer the title to the goods. An indorser, however, is not liable for the obligations of a prior indorser or of the carrier. Any person who alters, forges, coun terfeits, prints or photographs any bill of lading falsely and with intent to defraud, or publishes as genuine any such bill, or aids in the forging. Is liable to a penalty not exceeding five years' imprisonment or a fine not ex ceeding; $5000, or both. Tt is expected that the standardiza tion of tho federal bill of lading will greatly assist the federal reserve banks in the transaction of their busi ness. nautical engineering at Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology.

Repnblican Chairman National Committee. New York, Sept IS. (I. N. S.) The result of the election in Maine is more than satisfactory to the Re publicans It Is not only a noteworthy victory so far as Maine itself is con cerned, but a cheering and encourag ing indication of sentiment regarding President Wilson and his adrm:'etra tion which will increase the enthusi asm and activity of Republicans all; over the country. It will stimulate energy in every state campaign and help to swell the majorities for Re publican candidates in November. It is idle for the Democratic man ager and members of President Wil son's official family to attempt to de ceive the American people into think ing that th,y do not regard the .Maine result as of great and far reaching Importance. The defeat they have re ceived in the Pine Tree state is a very hard body blow to their national cam paign. No amount of smiling asser tions that it is unimportant and that no damage has been done can fool any one now, or repair the break thai has been made in their line. There is only one issue in this campaign and only one question to be answered at the polls. The issue is Woodrow Wilson. It Is himself and no other. The question is whether or not the American people can be cajoled or de ceived into renewing the mandate of authority of a president who has proven himself to be the kind cf man ! Mr. Wilson's course in office has show him to be. There Is no encouragement o the Democratic candidates or managers in the Maine result that the answer of the people to that question will be favorable to them. ARGUMENTS STARTED IN "JITNEY MURDER" TRIAL AT HILLSBORO (Continued From Pag One.) "How long have you been married?" asked Huston.

Passes on Ironing'. She was Mrs. Mary F. Vedder, of Hillsboro. She said that If the shirt had been ironed, the work had been done very poorly. She admitted, how ever, that handling of the shirt made i almost impossible to aefinitely tell. Mrs. Julia Roy was called from the audience. She proved to be the wife of a Juryman. Her testimony was the same as that of Mrs. Vedder. Just after their testimony, both sides rest ed, and Tongue began his argument. He expects to complete it within two hours. The state had several wit nesses in rebuttal this morning. Pernot Pound Blood. E. F. Pernot, city bacteriologist of Fortland, testified that he found white blood corpuscles on the undershirt tak en from Thompsons home. This had net been brought out in the direct ex amination, and Attorney Muston ob jected to the testimony. He was over ruled, however. Pernot said that he found two or three of the blood cor puscles when he examined the stain under the microscope. He also said that with the "benzodine" test, if blood is present, reaction will result. '. E. Bird, auto dealer of Hillsborot explained the workings" of Rislman's automobile. Car Is Examined. The Jury went to the yard at the rear of the courthouse to examine tht car. Deputy Sheriff Ward was on the stand, testifying that Thompson wore a brown coat when he saw nirn at 6:30 o'clock the might of the murder. Tongue expects to spring a ai.i prise In his argument concerning statements made by Thompson to the effect that he paid a water bill for his home, 7109 Forty-second avenue southeast Portland, on Wednesday, May 17, the day of hia arrest. A certified copy of a bill paid for those premises snows that the bill was paid on May IS. the day after Thompson was locked up in jail here. Thompson said he taU the bill the morning of- his' srrest. In his argument Tongue said that lie could not. definitely figure out a motive for the crime, explaining that there were "so many of them that they were confusing." Judge Bagley adjourned court at 12:15 and Tongue is to conclude this afternoon. Witness on the stand in Thomp son's behalf yesterday afternoon could not explain how. graphite got on Thompson's undershirt, on a bloody oustside shirt found near the scene of the murder and on the lin ing of the rght sleeve of a coat taken from him when he was arrested. These are considered the most Im portant In the circumstantial evidence against Thompson and with the de fense practically completed no expla nation of the spots has been forth coming. Testimony Differs. Thompson had testified that on Wed nesday, the day of his arrest, he had washed the two outside shirts found In a trunk in his home in Mount Scott. Mrs. James Thompson, his sister-in-law, was later called by the state and she said that the shirts had not been washed. "Neither of the shirts were in the wash on Wednesday? Positive of that?" queried District Attorney Tongue. "Yes, I am positive," was her em phatic reply. Fred Oberg of Gaston who had talked with C. C.
