PLAN TO EVADE
 PROHIBITION LAW

Washington, July 9.-A scheme to evade prohibition laws has been de- vised by the incorporation of express companies which operate between States.
 dn the last two or three months several of such companies have been incorporated in various parts of the country In every instance the com- panies do a business close to State lines. None of them has filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission its annual report, and, it is under by the officials of prohibition States to prevent the operation of such com panieS.
 The commission received an inquiry from the Mississippi State authorities a few days ago respecting the opera chez Mississippi is prohibition State, yet it developed that an ex- press company had been organized and incorporated at Natchez, the bulk os the business of which appears to be the transportation of beers and li- quors from another State into Missis- sippi. The beverages are consigned to individuals in Mississippi, and are delivered by wagons of the express company. The curious part of the transaction is that the express com pany was incorporated by dealers in beers and liquors.
 A similar case has arisen in Massa- chusetts. The Interstate Express Company was organized at Fall River, and the company filed with the com mission tariffs to cover it's business. The first tariff, filed on May 22 last, governed principally the transporta- tion of beers and liquors. Since that time additional tariffs have been filed, covering the transportation of various commodities and packages and the carrying of money.
