WANT CLASS IN FRENCH
Hardly Likely that High School Stu
dents Will Get Their Wish
Gratified Just Now.

The formation of class In French
is being agitated by several of the
pupils of the high school. That it is
very desirable course is admitted
by many, but there are hindrances
which will practically prohibit its in
stitution at the present time. There
is no room available now, and it would
be impossible TO secure teacher for
the next term.

EASTERN COMPANIES BEGIN
FIGHT AGAINST WELLs.FARGo
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PITTSBURG, Dec. 27.-Local officers of
express companies operating in Pittsburg
have been summoned to a meeting in
New York city next week TO consider a
situation growing out of the Wells-F Fargo
Express company gaining entrance to
Pittsburg via a trolley line.
A long-standing agreement among ex-
press companies requires that freight or
packages taken in one office for delivery
to another company which alone reaches
TIE point of destination must be delivered
to the company at its nearest office. The
second company which delivers the pack
age to its destination in this way usually
gets the larger share of the freight
charges
The Wells-Fargo company is the only
transcontinentaI- express company, and an
immediate change of freight has always
taken place between that company and
others.
Its business from Pittsburg has been
enormous, and most of 1t has come from
thu Adams, United States and American
Express companies which had the carry
ing of the freight to points along the
Eric railroad over the Pennsylvania and
B. e. o, railroads, securing a liberal
share of the charges for it.
The Wells-Fargo company, by contract
with the Bessemer q Lake Erie railroad
anu tiie TlltSDuTS & Lake Erie electric
road, secured entrance to Pittsburg, and
the present holiday season developed that
the local companies lost heavily in busi-
ness because they were obliged to turn
over transcontinental freight here and
also all that came to Pittsburg from the
east along the Pennsylvania and B. 6
o. roads. The losing companies contend
that the Pittsburg Offices Of the Wells.
Fargo should not be regarded as a trans.
fay cfa m I1n hot . ts-
the Wells Fargo line of railroads.
An attempt will be made to adjust mat
ters at next weeks meeting, and If this
fails it is said there are likely to be some
interesting developments in the express.

see If he could recover any of the secur-
tiles which it is thought w. r. Walker,
wrecker of the savings bank of New
Britain, Conn, has hidden in this city,
left this morning on the steamer for En-

Whether Pease will succeed in recov-

securities in the southern city remains
to be seen. He was Selected by the di-
rectors of the wrecked bank to come west
on account of his knowledge of the secur-
tiles.
1t is thought the officials of the bank
are more anxious to obtain the securities
than they are to see Walker punished,
and it is said that if Walker will tell
about the securities he may never be
extradited.
OF the s565,OO taken by Walker, much
was in the form of unnegotiable securi-
ties. These are of no value to anyone
but the real owners. Walker could not
dispose of them. 1t is possible that he
may be induced to reveal the hiding
