CHARGES AGAINST
EXPRESS COMP ANY
Complaint That WeIIs-Fargo
0verCharge for Straw
berry Shipments.
MONOPOLY POINTED OUT
DEALERS ADDRESS INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION.

The William NJ Roylance Commission
company Of Provo has filed charges with
the interstate commerce commission
against the WeIIs-FargO Express COM
pany. The protest Of the company de-
clares that the WeIls-Fargo company
overcharges fruit shippers in Utah for
/ transporting strawberries.
The estimated weight Of a crate Of
straw berries, according to the express
company, Is thirty-three pounds while the
shippers maintain that the crates used
by Utah shippers have an average weight
of twenty-five pounds.
The express rates are by the hundred
weigh. but the Stra Wberry crates are not
weighed By the express company, the
weight being fixed By estimate at thirty
three pounds. From parts of Utah the
company has a monopoly on the express
business. and hence has things its own
way. The shippers. however. declare that
the arbitrary estimate of the number of
pounds to the crate without weighing the
crates is in direct violation OF the pub
hshed schedules issued to comply with
the interstate commerce law.
in protesting against the action of the
express company. William NJ Roylance
president Of the Roylance company. has
sent This communication to Edward a
MOsely, secretary of the interstate com
merce commission:

we desire to enter complaint against
the Wells-FargO Express company for
oVeTcharging US in the weight per crate
on Strawberries. To illustrate: The
Fargo advertises a rate Of s. per
ioo in 1,u00-pound lots, Provo to Denver
and Colorado common points. They
would ship twenty boxes of apples. which
weigh about l.003 pounds. and only charge
US this = per nundredweight rate. but
in shipping Strawberries they will not
take them al actual weight. They say
they have an estimated rate OF thirty

which ! think is about correct where
what is called the Leslie crate is used
This Leslie crate, however. is not used
at all in Utah. We have "a special crate
that we use altogether I'm Utah called the
dOUble-deck.' which weighs from twenty
three to twenty-scVen pounds. or an aver
age Of about twenty-five pounds per
crate The Weils-FargO company knows
this, because their agents at various times
have weighed them and verified this
weight We have billed them at actual
weight but they have invariably put the
charges up on them or a basis of thirty
three pounds; in other words. they charge
US for eight pounds per crate more than
they carry.
IF we ship forty crates of strawberries
to Denver. which weigh 1000 pounds only
they would charge us for 1870 pounds
and. as a justification therefor they
claim they have q published estimated
each Tor strawberries, and that. therefore
they could not permit us 10 shin ou1

GRAND DUKES BODY
TAKEN TO FORTRESS
Emperor of Russia Drives in Open
Sleigh Through the Streets of
st. Petersburg Un-
protected

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2O.-The re-
mains Of Grand Duke Vladimir, who
died in this city last Wednesday, We're
palace on the banks of the Neva across
the river to the fortress of st. Peter
and st. Paul.
None of the representatives of foreign
soVereigns was present for this cere-
mony.
They will attend the interment to-
morrow.
Emperor Nicholas came into St
Petersburg from Tsarsko-Se1o by train
and drove from the railroad station to
the palace of Vladimir in an open
sleigh.
He passed through frequented streets
without escort, and his presence in this
city did not bring out any demonstra-
tion. The route Of the funeral process
sion was from the residence of Vladi-
mir, which adjoins the winter palace,
over the bridge Of the Trinity to the
fortress.
The way was lined for the entire dis
tance by troops, and at the street in
tersections spectators were massed in
large numbers. The guns of the fort
ress were fired in salute as the process
sion crossed the frozen Neva.
The streets Of the city were white
with snow and along the line of march
were strewn green twigs, emblematic
Of the resurrection.
The final funeral services in the
cathedral of the fortress were conduct
ed in the presence Of the highest repre-
sentatives of the church and the state.

WELL But LOSES
LONG. BEACH MAKES FIVE
RUNS ON ERRORS
ANGELENOS HAVE STREAK OF
HARD LUCK
McMuIlin of HILLTOP Aggregation
Slams Out Two Three-Baggers
and Three Safe
Ones

The Los Angeles high school baseball
team yesterday afternoon op the Har-
ward field, in a thinning game, was de-
feated by the Long Beach high school
nine by a score of to 8.
The pitching Of Taylor for the Los
Angeles high school was Of big league
style, only five hits being allowed in
fifteen innings and sixteen Long Beach
ties pounding air.
In the second inning Long Beach had
a player on second and third, when the
next batter hit the sphere for high fly
to the right fielder, who stumbled and
fell, allowing the two Long Beach rum
nerS to cross the pan.
All the runs made by the seaside
team were made on errors of the hill
top nine.
The feature of the game was the
heavy hitting of McMullin for the Los
Angeles club, who made five hits in the
fifteen innings, which consisted of two
three baggers and three singles.
The fans were well satisfied with the
game, which was fast and exciting
throughout and considered one of the
most interesting diamond battles played
so far in the interscholastic county
high school ranks. The hilltop team
was not discouraged in the least in
their defeat and will play faster ball
from now on, as this was one of the
first games in the league. Puss Hal.
briter, first baseman and captain of the
Los Angeles team, will have his team
out on the Chutes park diamond in
hard practice and expects to make a
better showing for the remainder of
the season.

trust

TOXIC, Feb. 20.-The special corre-
spondence to the Asahi from its San
Francisco correspondent continues 20
represent the situation as most alarm
ing.
These specials claim the anti-Japan-
csc sentiment is rapidly spreading and
the war feeling in America is general.
The specials, widely circulated and
read, contribute to spread the feeling
Of uneasiness among the Japanese peo-
pie.
Nichi-Nichi, a paper owned by K.
Kato, the Japanese ambassador to
England, which commented with great
bitterness during the earlier stages of
the anti-Japanese legislation by the
California legislature, in a lengthy ed
itorial on the anti-Japanese sentiment
in America, published today, says:
Americans continue to regard Japan
with suspicion, and this i'll feeling con-
tinues Notwithstanding the efforts of
the Japanese government and people
to prove the sincerity and cordiality Of
their feelings.
"rThis distrust extends throughout
Europe. 1t is incomprehensible to our
people why America and Europe con-
tinue to regard Japan as seeking war.
Two wars were sufficient. We want
peace in the future.
WAR with America could only be
forced by the United States threaten
ing the independence of Japan 1t is
unnecessary for America to fortify it
self against Japan"
The editorial closes by quoting the
text Of the Roosevelt telegram to the
California legislature expressing the
belief that the passage of the bill would
lead to serious consequences.
The paper contends that this message
-
regarded war as probable, but it was
utterly mistaken.

NEW YORK STOCK

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The steel trade posi-

stock market today. The changed condition
into which the steel trade has been thrown
by the announced determination of the United

as to secure business is fully equaled by the
confusion~of of speculative opinion as to the re-
suits to be apprehended from this action.
There was evidence in the current comment
in the stock market of equal confusion over

steel interests. The excited speculative ele-

Y. M. C. A. AERoNAUTIc COURSE
is INAUGURATED IN NEW YORK

The West Side Y. M. c. A. of New
York city has established a course of
lectures on aeronauti6s, with the CO.
operation of the Aero Club of America.
Prominent aviators have consented to
aid in making the course a success.
Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of
the Aero Club of America, formally
opened the course last week. The first
lecturer was Winthrop E. Scarritt,
former president Of the Automobile
Club of America. In his remarks Mr..
Scarritt called attention to the impor-
tance Of government action by saying:
Assume that Spain had had twenty
dirigibles, all of them together costing
less than one arnored cruiser Twelve
of these airships with high explosives
could have utterly destroyed our block
aiding fleet off Santiago.
"Our seacoast would have been en-
tirely at the mercy Of the admiral of
the Spanish air fleet.
In view of these facts how made
quate is language to express the short
sighted, senseless, asinine position
taken by a majority of the house of
representatives in cutting out the
100000 appropriation for experiments
by the army for navigating the air!"

bury building, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2o.-Traders had all sorts of
experiences both early and late. The action
of the market the first hour was so rapid that
even the local trade could scarcely follow the
changes. There was a strong and higher
opening, which carried May wheat up to
S1.16A. Pit traders were of the opinion that
the bull leader attempted to sell some wheat
above $1.16. This move was anticipated by q
number of others in the trade, who offered
wheat in large quantities at the advance. AL
together the offerings were too much for the
market and the price went back quickly to
S.147s. Good support felt at once, and
from that point until the close the market
well sustained, and in the end showed fair
gains over the closing price Of yesterday.
Crop conditions continue favorable, and July
wheat sold at a net loss for the day. If
worlds shipments smaller Monday and
another big decrease in Chicago stocks and the
visible supply is recorded there may easily be
a continuation of the bullish feeling in this
trade
Just exactly what was Anticipated on ad-
vices Of the past two days occurred in this
market today. The country is offering corn
so freely and acceptances have been so large
on the bids sent out that cash and elevator
people turned in and sold corn in the pit in
large quantities this morning. This selling
was coupled with continuation of profit TAX

hour. When this selling let up the market
had recovery of about Ac with wheat al
though the closing prices were but a fraction
over low point Of the morning. Cash corn
sales were 100,0 900 bushels. IF corn moves as
expected even more reaction from the recent
advance is to be expected.
Unless receipts increase greatly, it will soon
be time to look for soft spot where buying
orders can be filed with profit, it is said.
Any continuation of soft weather west is
likely to take the bottom out of the country
roads and check the movement of hogs
Whether this occurs or not, 1t is believed buy
ing orders on any good setback will prove
profitable.
