White in Spa creek.
Examination OF the upper part OF

INDIANA WARS ON
EXPRESS COMPANIES

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. S.-What
promises to be the most thorough IN
vestigation into the rates and prac-
tees of the express trust" ever un-
dertaken by any state was commenced
today by the Indiana railroad commits
sion Meeting in the statehouse, the
commission inaugurated an inquiry
that will not stop until every phase OF
the question has been probed. All OF
the express companies operating In
the state are involved. In its order for
the hearing the commission expressed
belief that the rates now charged
are excessive and unjust
This is the second attempt OF the
commi ssion to bring about a general
reduction on all express rates between
points within the state. In 1907 the
commission conducted an exhaustive
inquiry into express rates. the frst
general investigation of such nature
attempted by any such department
into such tariffs. Several months were
occupied in the taking of evidence!
and as a result the commission issued
an order reducing the rates on all ex'
