AFTER EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Bankers Want Practice of Issuing Ex
 press Money Orders stopped.


 press Money Orders stopped.
 New York, April 23-The hearing be- fore Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clark. on the complaint of the Ameri- can Bankers Association against five of the large express companies in con- nection with the issuance of express money orders, was adjourned today to meet in Washington at some date to be named.
 heard upon application by the com plainants. for a writ to compel the American Express Company to produce practically all of it's books and data that they may be examined for the dis covery of evidence to substantiate the charge. Arguments also will be heard on a motion of the defendants to dismiss the complaint.
 The bankers contend that the ex- press companies, as common carriers, have no right to engage in the issu- ance of money orders. thereby invad- ing the bankers field of operations. The express companies not only deny the allegation. but insist further that the subject is one in which the Inter state Commerce Commission is without jurisdiction. When the hearing was re- sumed today, E. A. Deans. manager of the foreign exchange department of the Merchants Loan and Trust Com pany. of Chicago. testified that his concern had engaged in the issuance of exchange. but had been forced to cut the prices to meet the competi. ton of the express companies untD there was but little profit left in it.
 Similar testimony was given by Jo- seph J. Chapman. Jr.. of the Northwest ern National Bank of Minneapolis Mir Chapman testified that the competi- tion of the express companies had in- jured the business of banks in his section and that the latter corpora tions Nontrolled practically the money order and exchange business of the Northwest.

costs amounted to more than the total sum that was received by the State for the lands. and the balance alleged to be due for fees and costs. after the of- ficers had been paid t2.so0 on such ac- counts. amounted to largely more than the State has on hand in the treasury for the sale of lands.
 Tt Is not made to appear that any application has been made for the pay ment of the fees and costs and it can- not be doubted that the only funds out of which the petitioners claims could be paid and against which the Audi tor has authorit to draw his warrant are those which arose from the sale of lands"
 Concluding his opinion in the case. Justice Denson said:
 We are of the opinion that the peti- tioner has failed to show a clear legal right to have the Auditor draw a war rant in his favor. as was demanded. and. of consequence. that the City Court erred in awarding the mandam- us."
 The judgment of the lower court was, therefore. reversed and the de- cisioa rendered by the Supreme Court. relieving the State Auditor.

MIR. ROBSON TALKS
MOBILE ACCOUNTANT EXPECTS TO
 FIND SHORTAGE.
Says He is Employed by the Business Government Club ta Perform Specific Work on
 HoOka.

Mobile. April s.-(Special. )--Georga T. Rosson talked freely today upon his work of auditing the city clerks accounts and checking up the report recently made to the City Council by a local firm of auditors.
 T am employed by the Business Government Club" said MT. Rosson in reply to a direct question. There are two points on which the mem bers of the Club and many who are not mem- bers of the club are not fully satisfied. One of these Is the item of thirty odd thousands of dollars returned to the general fund from the paving fund Tho other Is the process by which the Mayor arrived at the conclusion he had reduced the deficit the amount report ed to the Council
 Both of these points will probably be covered by the review and checking of the auditors report. I cannot tell however. how 1t will turn out.
 "In an investigation of this sort am liable to pick up a thread which leads into an entirely different leld. When l strike such a thread of course I follow 1t to the end wherever 1t leads. And If find such a thread in this work it may lead me entirely be- yond the scope of the work now con- tective however; I am not there to hunt or dig up anything except what Is on the books themselves"
 Tt is rumored. Mir. Rosson, that you agreed to do this work for half of the shortage you found" remarked the re- porter
 That Is not merely a rumor." re- sponded Mfr. Rosson. T said some- thing of that kind, though not in those words. A few days ago I re- marked to an Alderman. who is my personal friend. that If the city would give me half the shortage I could un- cover In examining the accounts of the past ten years. I would at once order an $S000 automobile and felt confident I would have the money in hand to pay for 1t before the factory could get 1t to me. My present employment however. Is not on that basis.
 T hope to have a report to make in a weeks time. but that will depend on where the threads lead me"

On the first day Of July the Idaho state
board Of pardons commuted the sentence
Of Harry Orchard, under sentence to
hang on the grid, for the murder Of ex-
Governor Steunenberg. TO Imprisonment
for life.
1t was freely charged by labor leaders
at the time of the trial of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone that Orchard had
been promised immunity in payment for
his perjured testimony against the leaders
of the Western Federation Of Miners, the
hope being that by the conviction ofthe
accused men, the miner" union would be
destroyed. The pardoning of this repro
Z bate lends weight to the charges made at
the time, and it is further predicted that
this notorious criminal will be a free man
before many months.
