ASK LOWER RATES
Harrison Denies Jurisdiction o.
Railroad Board.
TO REDUCE EXPRESS RATES
General Attorney far Express Com
paniss Says Commissioners Can.
not Dig Into G. o. o.
Questions.

Des Moines, Nov. ST. B. Harri
son, Jr., general counsel for the
American and Adams Express com
panies, kicked up . lively rumpus
at the hearing brought by Iowa ship
pers before the railroad commission
who demand q general reduction OF
express rates on G.. o. D. shipments
in Iowa
Mr.. Harrison told the commission
Srs that they have no power to in
vestigate express rates.
''The express business is purely col
lection SO far as CO. D. shipments
are concerned and bsentirely separate
from the transportation question" he
declared.
The question came up in the case
Of the Iowa Stock Food company OF
Jefferson against the express compan'
les. D. w. Howard for the company
claimed that the shippers were com.
PEELED to pay, an unreasonable rate
for the return OF the money which
the express companies collected on
G. o. p, shipments.
Attorney Harrison, addressing the
commission, made two propositions:
first, that the commission has no jur.
isdiction to determine the rate, "a
they only have Jurisdiction over trans.
POrtation rates and the collection
business of an express company is
not part of its transportation bust.
ness: second, even IL the commission
does have Jurisdiction, the rate
charged is reasonable in view Of the
fact that the company is compelled
to hunt up the man, collect the mon
ey and then return II to the shipper.
For this same collection regular
collecticn agency would charge 10 per
cent while the companies hardly
charge ! per cent. No decision was
given.

the pouch catcher did not make q

were In q packet, could not be found

The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found

that the registered package had been
