New York, Aug 1.-The arrest of
three men In Brooklyn has disclosed
the fact that the Adams Express COM

the police estimate, through a series
of trunk robberies in that borough.
1t Is not known whether the plot to

extended to Manhattan and elsewhere.

According to the detectives, the
Adams Express company has been
robbed by a clever system of counter
felt checks and tags made by job
printer who was in league with the
gang of trunk thieves. When a trunk
was to be stolen was given to a driv-
err at some one Of the express depots
in Brooklyn, the driver would put on

PREPARING NEW RATES.
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Will Be
Ready November 1.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific railroads have
begun the printing of their transcon-
tinental freight rates as ordered and
will have them ready to go in force
November /. Officials of the roads
explain that these rates will make the
charge on hauling goods consigned to
the Orient the same for the trip to the
coast as that on goods consigned to
Pacific coast points. Goods inbound
from the Orient, however. will go
east from the coast at a lower rate
than that paid by domestic shippers
using the railroads only, as there can
be no question of discrimination of
rates raised.
Steamship company officials say that
in order to hold the Asiatic trade they
must have the power to work with
the railroads in cutting rates. With
out this, and with the railroads
making a fixed charge on all freight
from the Orient, they declare that they
can not meet the competition of for
eign steamers.
