why and What IS
BAGGAGE BUSTER?
Attorney General Must Decide
Who's Who in Express
Company World
When Is Lima Bean Not a Po-
tato Is Confusing Problem
Before Officials

What constitutes an express COM
railroad commission law, or when a
parcel delivery company ceases to be
and the functions of the express COM
pany begin, is the delicate point which
Attorney General Webb will be called
upon to decide as the result of the
meeting of the state railroad commits
sioners yesterday.
The action of the attorney general in
the matter is of vital interest to doz-
ems of companies engaged in interur-
ban parcel and freight delivery. Fur
niture vans and delivery wagons of so
called express companies that ply a
transbay business are especially in
cluded in the contention.
1t is contended that for the commits
sion to establish rules governing the
acknowledged express companies. as,
for instance, Wells Fargo, and yet eX-
empt those firms that offer transbay
competition is unjust
Individual expressmen and urban de-
livery companies operate in the iden-
tical territory of the larger under
stood express companies without hav-
ing restrictions as to rates and prac-
tices. as imposed by the railroad COM
mission.
After a short discussion that but
complicated the. status and provinces
of express companies. the commits
sion today submitted the entire mat
ter to the attorney general
H. d. Loveland, A. C. Irwin and W.
D. Wagner. secretary, were present at
the meeting. Theodore Summerland
was absent from the city.
The bean growers of Ventura clamor
to know whether their county emblem.
the dried lima bean, is a vegetable or
just d bean in a class by itself.
The Southern Pacific company holds
that it is a bean and not a vegetable.
Tariff sheets are shown in proof and
the special specification of the lima
bean pointed to.
The shippers maintain that the bean
is part of the vegetable Kingdom and
should be entitled to come under the
vegetable classification as potatoes,
carrots, etc This would put the bean
in class freight, at a considerably
lower charge.
The commission will take the matter
UP with the railroad company and seek
to come to some amicable adjustment
of the controversy.

tics that may be adopted by the PIatt

Kelly and Mclaughlin agreed that

New York's Manners.

From the New \ orh World
we live here in the most insolent city
in the world" lamented T. HopknsCn
Smith, speaking as a southern gentleman
before the Southern Society New York has
to answer for many faults, its own ira
gressions and those OF the congIomerate
population to whom ii offers shelter. II
is a crowded and busting city. filled with
all sorts and conditions of men, cavaliers
from Virginia and Puritans from Massa-
chusetts, westernerS from a dozen states
and Europeans of a dozen nationaiities.
all more or less sustained and soothcd by
an unfaltering trust in the correctness
OF their own conduct The fact IS that
New York outwarGly lacks rfpose and
suavity. 1t is very much alive. for the
whole country brings IT'S business here.
But ii IS generous and, above all, good
natured. 1t is thoughtless, but not
rogant Fortunately it has a very keen
sense of the ridiculous, which saves il
from various minor forms of vanity.
The subway, for instance, IS huddled
mob. from which the old-fashioned south
ern gentleman. if he still exists any
where. might shrink from coming into
contact In that case he will find 1t
more comfortable 10 keep an automobile.
So would many thousands of daily strap
hangers If they could. As for the police,
frcm whom Mr. Smith complains that
we can't get a decent answer, the gen.
eral opinion is that in handling largo
crowds and looking after street traffic
they are the most efficient force in the
world.
New Yorks manners in the main are
what the people who come nere BRING
with them. They are of all kinds, ac-
cording to the individual and the com
pany he keeps. There are gentlemen who
find no occasion for proclaimng the fact
and others who make themselves often
sive by asserting II. Good manners. like
good taste, very often attract as little
attention as they seek.
