Hearst News Service. Pittsburg, Pa., June 30.— All rail roads east of the Mississippi in the territory covered by the "official classification," will after today refuse to accept for transportation all ship ments in less than carload lots which are not plainly marked with the name of the consignee and the station, city and state of destination. For many years it has been custom ary for a large number of shippers to mark their packages with an initial or some hieroglyphic, the key to which would be on the bill of lading, it was the theory that this saved time and also prevented competitors from ob serving the names of a shipper's cus tomers on the outside of packages. Railroad officials claim that great abuses have resulted from this prac tice. When a large number of pack aggb are intended for the same con signee shippers often mark only one or two, the others having no marks j at all. If the shipments become mixed with others at transfer points there is IRAHH PARDON BOARD IS TO ACT ON ORCHARD CASE i Hearst News Service. • Boise. Id..

The con sequence has been great delay, vex ation on the part of both shippers and consignee and claims against the rail road, i the lines mentioned were about 32, 1 500,000. Of this it mount, probably over $1,250,000, was caused by the improper marking of the less-than-carload shipments. It is the design of the railroads now to stop losses from this fause. Figures prepared by the Trunk Lne association for 17 principal lines in the official classification territory show that the total freight earnings for these companies in 1907 were $541,725, 712, an increase over 1906 of 10.2 per cent. Nevertheless the total payment for loss and damage by these lines in 1907 was $5,596,794, fully 1 per cent, of the total freight earnings and an in crease over 1906 of 22.4 per cent. It is estimated that about 45 per cent, of loss and damage claims are due to "lossesfin transit," which means that in 1907 the losses on this score of ness stand to testify against William D. Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, who, Orchard claimed, had hired him to commit many crimes. Haywood was acquitted, but Orchard was held for his self confessed crime, convicted and sen tenced to be banged. ders. Orchard became famous as one of the most bloodthirsty assassins of the age when he was placed on the wlt ic yards of gravel ballaBt every twenty four hours. Thus far more than 200, 000 cubic yards of pebbles have been sucked from the depths of the river and transferred to approximately 60 fhlles of Illinois Central track between Memphis and Vicksburg, river pebbles which have been washed clean by the waters, 1 b mixed about 25 per cent, of ordinary sand, the mix ture producing the finest ballast yet discovered and is practically dustless.
