control. He then headed II south. al
most directly against the wind. and
started on a bee line for San Jose, at

The airship, obeying the force Of its
light motor. made good progress and
was soon out Of sight.
Fair progress was made by the aero
nauts until the line between San Fran
cisco and San Mateo counties was
reached. The airship obeyed its helm
and though its speed was not great. II
responded quickly to the will Of its
inventor. While passing over the town
Of Colma. one of the valves Of the en-
CINE became clogged and this

San Francisco, May 1.-More books
of Wells, Fargo & Co., have been in
spected and more of its officials ex-
amined by the Texas authorities in the
suit brought by that state to put into
effect the new railroad commission
tariff reducing the rates OF express
companies nine and ten per cent. In
the course of a cross-eXaminatiOn the
fact was developed that Wells, Fargo
& Co. in 1903 made deal with the
Southern Pacific railroad by which 1t
got renewal for IL years OF the eX-
elusive express privilege on the South
ern Pacific lines. For this privilege
the express company paid the railroad
bonus of $1,000, 900, including $780,
of express company stock, and agreed
to give 1t 40 per cent. Of its annual
gross earnings. The Texas officials are
probing deeply into the company's
statement Of its expenses in Texas and
also into the volume of its receipts
in order to show that the company
can afford to have It's tariff reduced by
the railroad commission.
