PROPOSES TO MAKE A FIGHT ON EXPRESS COMPANIES
 IN ARKANSAS.
Norwosd Will Prosecute Charges Of Exorbtant Rates and Trust
 Providence for Costs.

Attorney General NorWeod has just received from the printer copies of the complaint of state of Arkansas on the relation of the Attorney Gen. eral vs. the Adams Express Company, American Express Company, Great Northern Express Company, North ern Express Company, Pacific Ex- press Company, Southern Express Company, United States Express Company, Wells Fargo Express Con- pany and Western Express Company, which he will file before the inter- state commerce commission. The complaint sets out the express rate between more than 100 points in Ar kansas and the principal cities and markets of the other states and ai- leges that the rates and charges as set forth and the elassifications and exceptions applicable thereto are un- inst. unreasonable and in violation of section l of the act to regulate com merce, that said rates are unjusty discriminatory between shippers To- cated in Arkansas and shippers To- cated in other states of the United States. shipping to the same destina- tion. in violation of sections and of the act to regulate commerce.
 The complaint prays that the inter- state commerce commission require the express companies to cease such violation and that the commission prescribe just and reasonable rates.
 The complaint specially sets out the express rates charged upon fruits and vegetables shipped from Arkansas points, upon which reductions are asked.
 Attorney General Norwood stated that for quite a while there have been numerous complaints against the ex. orbitant rates charged by express companies, especially upon fruits and vegetables. He states that he knows of numerous instances where the pro- ceeds from the sale of such ship ments do not pay the express.
 Some time ago Attorney General NorNood associated with him in this matter Luther M Walter of Chicago. who was for ten years one of the special counsel for the interstate com merce commission.
 At the time MT. Norwood and his associates commenced the preparation Of this suit 1t was thought there would be an appropriation for the at- torney generals office to pay the ex- penses connected with this character of litigation. MT. Norwood says that since all the necessary data has been obtained for the filing of these ssits he has concluded to file the suits and endeayor to raise the money some where to prosecute it.
 MT. Walter was associated with MT Norwood in the suit against the Pullman company, which was tried before the interstate commerce com mission in Chicago last December. which resulted in the reduction of 20 per cent on all upper berths and numerous special reductions upon all lower berths
