ROADS MUST PAY FULL VALUE New Law Governing Settlement for Goods Lost or Damaged in Transit CHANGES OLD CONTRACT RULE (From a ptaff Correspondent ) WABfriNOTON. March 13. f pedal Telegram.) One of the niort Important measure which passed during the last day of congress, which waa signed by tha president Just before adjournment. Is an amendment to the Interstate commerce act known a the Cummlngs bill. Thla measure Is of the utmost Importance to every shipper In every section of the country. It haa been the custom of the rail roads for many years In issuing a hill of lading, to print on the back of the document a rule or an agreement which limits the liability of th railroad Com pany In the event of loa or damage to property In transit. The railroads also limit tha liability for bagger to l0 for each piece. The supreme court of th3 United State In two cases which were decided last year, rendered an opinion Sustaining th contention of the railroad that their liability waa limited to their own contract amount. Bo that if shipper of caMle, for In stance, from Wyoming or Western Ne braska to Omaha ahould lose a carload of steers, he could recover only the rail road, company's valuation, which In the case of prime stock, would mean about one-fourth of the actual value of the animal, or tV per bead. Congress took hold of the matter,' and after a very vtgorou fight an act haa been passed which compel the rallroada to pay the actual value of the goods lost, or dam aged. This applies to all , rlarsea bf freight. CAN'T GET DOPE, HE KILLS SELF AND NEIGHBOR WINAMACIND.
