New Form of Lading Doomed. Cicaco, August 20.— (S pecial Telegram to Tue Beg.|—The uniform bill of lading in its present form is doomed. The Chicago com- mittee of the Central Prafic association met today and the Wabash declined to use it in its present form except on its fast freight lines. TheBig Four and Grand Trunk then de- clared they would not put it in force on Sep- tember 1, as agreed, unless the action was unanimous, The Grand Trunk took the ground that in any event the bill of lading was certain to be amended still further at the request of the al- most formed National Shippers’ association, and that it wouid be folly to use the new form for a week or two aud then adopt another, The subcommittee on the uniform bill of lading of the joint committee meet Thursday in New York and perhaps dozen changes in the bill of lading will be made then, It was informally decided that a conference between the committee and the shipper should be held before putting the bill in ef- fect, although no vote wus taken on the question, The Texas ronds finally decided today to temporarily postpone the vexatious question of equalizing ratesto Texas points from New Orleans and St. Louis. It was agreed, how- ever, that the matter should be taken ap and settled within thirty days. Al BT THE O'BRIEN CASE.

It did, however, tend to discredit the story told Mus, Ford that Minnie Winterling was present at the mur- der. Three reputable witnesses swore that she was at her hog work in and about the kitchen until 15 or 8:30, and that she was also home again from O until after bed time, It was alsosnown that she wasat the tile works for some time that evening, but just what hour does not appear. The testimony taken on the has put a new phise on the 5 which throws it somewhat into the of the mysterious. Other witnesses contradicted Mvs, Ford as to the route she took to t ene of the murder. While not, perhaps, important in itseif, it has a tenc to break down the reliability of her te mony. Public sentiment has take quite’ & change this afternoon, in- dicative of o feeling that ' the testimony in regard to Winterling has created @ serious doubt in many minds of O Br guilt, notwithstanding the man seemingly corroborative circumstances tend- ing to prove bis guilt.
