ACCUSATION AGAINST
EXPRESS COMPANIES
Attorney Manahan Asserts They
Have "YeI|ow Dog" Fund.

New York, Feb. THAT the big
express companies have a yellow
dog" fund which is used for infll.
encing legislation is the allegation Of
James Manahan, Minneapolis lawyer
who is attorney for State Senator B.
e. Sundberg Of Kennedy, Mimi, com.
plainant in the inquiry now being con.
Quoted in this city by Frank Lyons,
representing the interstate commerce
commission
Manahan declared that before he is
facts will be adduced regarding the
manner in which the big express com.
panies are conducted that will shvw
them to be close followers of the old
time insurance company methods.
Manahan alleged that the big ex'
press companies Of the country as at
present conducted are in "cahoots'
to keep up rates; that they do not
compete at all but have a secret
agreement by which the United States
is ''melon to be divided" and that
when one company retires from bust
ness in certain section it is to give
way to another company which by
means of it's connecting lines can op'
crate more cheaply, while at the same
time sticking to the rate that their
predecessor established.
Because of the fact that specific
complaint in the present inquiry is
that Sundberg was compelled to pay
$36 express charges to have a farm
implement valued at 50 sent to his
farm near Minneapolis by express
Referee Lyons has for the most part
compelled the witnesses to stick to
the topic under discussion and has
refrained from permitting Manahan
to conduct a successful fishing" ex

The Fourth ward race is between
George Rhea and N. w. Brown
1t seems that the present alderman,
George Rhea, has a big lead. Mr..
Rhea has been a good alderman
and his Fourth ward friends declare
that they will not run a chance of a
change. ~
Mr.. Brown conducts a restaurant
on Minnesota avenue and is also
we'll known is that ward. His
friends apparently do not feel as

do Mr.. Rhea's. Judging from this
point of view, Mr.. Rhea should carry

In the First ward the fight is be-

Khan, the Persian brigand whose fol-

an engagement in the Karadagh prov.
