DAWSON HAS FACTS.
Files Schedules to Prove Express Rates
Are Too High.

This morning John S. Dawson. at
torney for the state board of railway
commissioners, fled with the commits
sion a large number of tariff sched-
ules, official reports and a mass of doc
umentary evidence in support of his
suit before the board to secure a re-
duction of express rates in the state
of Kansas.
The fling of this evidence at this
time is made in compliance with an
order of the railroad board to enable
the express companies to prepare for
Mr.. Dawson's line of attack. 1t is the
contention of the attorney for the board
that the express rates in Kansas are
not only too high in themselves. but
that they are far out of proportion to
the express rates maintained by the
express company, either voluntarily or
by compulsion, of state laws and rail-
road commissioners orders, in other
states
Mr.. Dawson has filed reports and
tariffs pertaining to express charges
in the states of Minnesota, South Da
kota. Iowa. Texas, Virginia, Okla
homa, North Carolina, Massachusetts,,
Georgia, New Hampshire, Nebraska
and Illinois. He has also filed with
the commission the report of the spe-
cial master appointed by the federal
court in Nebraska, which shows that a
reduction of IS per cent in the ex
press rates in the state of Nebraska
has actually increased the profits of
some of the express companies in that
state by inducing shippers to ship by
express who ordinarily ship by first
class freight. The same report shows
that the reduction saves the people of
Nebraska $350,OOO year The attor-
ney for the board has also filed a re-
port which shows an increase in the
profits of the express companies in the
state of Texas, as a result of an 1-3
per cent reduction in that state and
saves to the people of Texas a quarter
of a million q year. These increased
profits arise from the fact that when
express rates are reduced much first
class freight is sent by express.
Mr.. Dawson also advised the COM
mission and the attorneys for the ex-
press companies that he expects to
accumulate more evidence of the same
general tenor before the case is set for
trial
The case is not only one of great
Importance to the Kansas public. but
is receiving much attention in those
states which, like Kansas, have not
yet secured any reduction in express
charges but are still paying substan-
charged by the express companies a
quarter of century ago. when the
business was comparatively small.
One interesting phase of the docu-
states attorney is a series of the issues
of the Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, which tell the story of the
cutting of the Watermelon by the
Wells Fargo Express company, which
was a distribution among the stock
holders of a 200 per cent stock divi-
dend and a 100 per cent cash dividend
last autumn.
Mr.. Dawsons suit prays for a reduc-
ton of Is per cent in the rates in this
state.

BULLACK IS PAROLED.
Russian Who Killed Friend in Drunk
en- Row Leaves Prison.

Joseph Bullack, a Russian, who has
served about half of a four years
sentence in the Kansas State penlten-
tiary at Lansing for killing Andreas
Mauer, another Russian about two
years ago, was paroled yesterday by
Governor Stubbs. This action on the
part of the governor is the result of
petition which was signed by 500
names, including those of all the rela-
tives of the dead man in the state OF
of Kansas, and Rev. Father shorter,
Catholic priest for the penitentiary.
Rev Father Shorter Vouched for the
good conduct of Bullack. The latter's
family lives on North Sardou avenue.
At the trial Bullack made the plea
of self defense. He quarreled with
Mauer at a beer party The latter
attacked him and Bullack struck him
over the head with chair, knocked
him down and injured him so that he
died later from internal injuries.
In the plea for the parole it is stat
ed that Bullack is needed by his fam
lily. The two families have intermar-
ried and all of the relatives of the de-
ceased in Kansas, signed the petition
for the parole. which must be done
according to the law before parole
in such cases is granted.
The daughter of the dead man who
did not sign the parole has left Kan
sas and is living in Oregon.
The petitionreferred to was presented
to the governor early in November
by Robert Stone, his attorney.

FORTUNE IN HOSE.
Illness, Followed by Court Order, Re-
veals Woman's Valuables.

Bowling Green, o., Feb. with
$4,000 in cash, $500 in securities and
$500 worth of diamonds secreted in
side her hose, Mrs. Emily A. Carman
of Bradner has been complaining that
she barely had enough income to keep
body and soul together.
Not until she had been sick for
long time, steadfastly refusing to all
low her stockings to be removed, was
her strange secret barred, and then it
took a court appointed guardian to
bring this about.
Mrs. Carman, seventy-three, is the
widow of DIR. T. S. Carman, a pioneer
doctor of Wood county who died seven
years ago after attending the ills and
pains of Perryburg township and later
Montgomery township settlers for fifty
years. It is said her accumulated much
property. To his widow and his son.
Tom, he left a residence in Bradner,
besides other real estate.
After Mrs. Carman was taken ill,
those who attended her noticed big
Jumps sticking out on the calves of
her legs beneath her stockings. She
would permit no examination and sus-
PIGEONS were aroused. AS a last resort
the probate court was appealed to with
the result that Judge Nearing ap-
pointed w. B. Gregg, Bradner at
torney, as the woman's guardian.
The guardian, using his authority,
found twenty packages beneath the
invalids hose. Four of these were
wrapped in old stockings, the others in
cloth. When the contents were taken
out there were found to be $3,643 in
cash, $1,000 of which was in 800
bills; $818.50 in certificates of deposit
S56.33 in oil checks; $1,711 in notes, a
total of $6.228.s3. In addition to the
money there were several valuable
diamonds whose total value is about
$500.
The finding of the valuables relieves
the minds of the relatives and, now
that the securities and money have
been placed outside the house, fears
of intruders are put aside.
