HIGHER DIVIDENDS,

NEW YORK, sept. 1.-THE stock
holders committee of the United States
Express Company, of which Samuel S.
Hart is chairman, n which last year
conducted a successful campaign for
an increase in dividend, is out with a
circular attacking the management be-
cause the dividend has since been cut
down to the old rate. Mr.. Hart says
that the earnings of the company have
been greater in the past nine months
than in the corresponding period of
1907. The circular says:
1T has been proposed that the share
holders at large consent to sell one-half
Of each of their holdings at $105 per
hare The other suggestion Is that
the company be dissolved and its valu-
able good will sold. The result of this
action it is believed will bring to the
shareholders at least $125 a share, and
it is estimated hat with a fair price
for the good will there will be realized
at least $50 per share"
