TEXAS OFFICIALS
INVESTIGATING
The Affairs Of the Wells Fargo Com
pany to Prove that 1t Can Afford
the Reduced Tariff.

San Francisco, Calf April 30-More
books of Wells Fargo and Company
were inspected and more of its officials
examined by the Texas authorities in
a suit brought by the state to put into
effect the new railroad commission
tariff reducing the rates on express
companies between nine and ten per
cent. In the course OF cross eXamina-
tion the fact was developed that Wells
Fargo and Company in 1903 made a
deal with the Southern Pacific Railroad
by which it got renewal for thirteen
years of the exclusive express privi-
leges on the Southern Pacific lines. For
this privilege the company paid the
railroad a bonus Of three million dol
lars, including $750,000 Of the express
company's stock, and agreed to give it
forty per cent of it's annual gross earn
ings. The Texas officials are probing
deeply into the company's statement of
it's expenses in Texas and also into the
volume of it's receipts in order to show
that the company can afford to have
its tariff reduced as proposed by the
commission.
