WELLSFARGO HAS7ENS
FASTER SCHEDULE PLAN
Corporation to Change Service
from East for Race with
American Company

Within a short time, 1t is reported,
the Wells-Fargo Express company will
inaugurate a new through service be-
tween Los Angeles and the east via
the Santa Fe Railroad company's line,
to compete with the fast schedule put
in operation by the American Express
company on its invasion of the local
express field, September 1.
The present schedule operated by the
American company beats the Wells
Fargo people by about sixteen hours
from New York city, the formers train
arriving here in the afternoon at 2:30,
while express sent via the latter COM
pany at the same time does not get
to Los Angeles until 7:10 the following
day. The principal loss of time. ac-
cording to railroad officials, in the
Wells-Fargo company's run across the
continent occurs at Chicago.
RIVALRY AT CHICAGO
Express matter from New York ar
rives at the Chicago offices of both
companies about the same time. The
American company loads its matter
from the east on a train bound for
Salt Lake city and Los Angeles almost
Immediately on its arrival at Chicago,
while the Wells-Fargo express is held
In Chicago until the following morn
ing and sent on to California on train
leaves there at $3.50 a. m.
While no official confirmation of the
rumor could be secured, it is believed
that the running time of train No. 3
will be changed within few days by
the Santa Fe railroad in order to bet
ter the Fargo service to equal
that Of the American Express. 1t Is
planned to run train 8 out of Chicago
in the evening, after the arrival of the
fast trains from New York city, a pro-
cedure which would bring 1t to Los
Angeles in the afternoon, about the
same time the Salt Lakes American
Express train arrives. This change
would bring the through service from
New York city to Los Angeles about
even in both the companies.
LOCAL OFFICIALS SILENT
Local officials of both the Santa Fe
railroad and the Wells Fargo company
refused to discuss the proposed change
Yesterday. The Wells-Fargo people ad-
nitted that their company is working
on plans to secure as fast a schedule
as the American company, but stated
that all arrangements would be made
in Chicago and that they had no
notification of the proposed change.
The officials admit, however, that
traffic officials of the railroad and the
EXPRESS company have been in con-
ference in Chicago for several days,
and that all agents along this coast
expect to hear of the change as stated
within q few days.

MEXICAN GENERALS
SURRENDER AFFIRMED

Mexico City-General Navarro has
surrendered to the rebels, according
to report that reached here from
authorities which have heretofore
proved reliable in the matter of war
news.
The government denies the report
and says that he is awaiting rein
forcements. Officials say Pedernales
is not menaced seriously by the reb-
els.
It is known from other sources that
Navarro has been having hard
time. His men are not used to the
severe winter climate of Chihuahua.
They are not properly clothed and are
short of food and ammunition. It is
considered here that if Navarro has
not surrendered, he Is liable to do so
at any time.
The government now acknowledges
that the situation is very serious. All
available troops are being sent north
as fast as possible to assist Navarro.
