WIRELESS PROMOTERS
 PROTEST INNOCENCE
Texas Men Declare They Are the Victims of Their
 Future Rivals

SAN ANTONIO, May 16.-Pro- moters of wireless telegraphy and telephony m Texas, while having found this a fertile field in one re spect, find 1t very unpromising in others. For some time a concern lnown as the Texas Fiscal agen-y has been operating in this city snllc- ting stock. A few days aeo. John B. Dickinson, Charles A. Beauchamp and William A. Powmar were ar- Tesrsb charged with unlay fll uss Of the mails. Yesterday the federal grand jury returnel indictments agaiust these nen on a charge of unlawful conspiracy to use United States nails in schemes and arunce to de'raud.
 Some of the literature Of the con cern vrs rreseutei in evidence show ing tfo wonderful Tovsitilities of this eat proposition" One eircular rurro ted to give some insi1e facts relatiye to the earnings Of other cor rorations. This went on to say that S1oO invested in Bell Telephone stock had nade s400.0e0: that S10A invested in Nerganthaler LinotyDe cotrpany had returned in seven years s127,GC0; S10O invested in Ame-ioan shelter shares is worth s1U0, 0,OOO: also it was estimate1 that s10 origiraliy invested in Westing- house air brakes has paid sits 6; tae Eastman Ko7ak comrany has, according to the circular raid enorrl- opg dividends. The PullTan company. as the circular tells, has raid sit.- oO0.00O since 1898, increasei its stock s1.O0O, coo. .000 and then pays eight per cent dividend quarterly.
 Whether these statements be true or not. they were sent out through the mails as an inducem ment 10 se- cure subscribers to wireless stoe <, wtieh the proT oters declared wo1l ! ultimately pay greater dividen2s than any of the conranies named. CT at least that is the inference or the grani jury which returned ln- dictments. The indicted men, how ever. tske the position tat they are rersecuteI by other interests with which their business cores in ccss- petition aud declare that they wil rrove themselves innocent when the case comes to trial. John B. Diekin- son was in charge Of the agency 'ii this city and claims 10 have conmun- icateI with number of towns by means Of wireless methods.

EXPRESS COMPANIES AND THE
 PARCEL POST.
(Chicago Tribune.)

Congress. by denying the people the parcels post has left them aI inc mercy of the express compan ies. What it has meant for those who have had to use the Wells Fargo company was brought out plainly last week in an investigation heinz made by the Minnesota rat road and warehouse commission, Some of the facts which appearea in evidence are not new. lt was known that the company set ont with a capitalizati Jn of s5,OO0.O0O' which has teen increased to S2i,- GOO 900. that after paying 10 per cent dividends for many years II declared 510 per cent diYidehl Iast year and after that still had :, cash surplus of S3,0OOleOo. \ stockhoider in that conn any caH saw with unction: The lines are fallen unto Ire in pleasant places yea. have gOodiy heritage.
 Some new and interesting fact. have come 10 light. The pr)pert' investment of the comTauy is nol more tan s5.OO0ROO. but it ha' S2g 100000 invested in stocks bonds mort and leans and on de pcsit in banks. This gives soT' kind of idea Of the excessive rate. it has teeD charging.
 It appears a'so. that at the tim' of inc organization of the Wells Fargo company. through the consoli datIon of some western conn anles S3,0G0 000 in stock was gwen Y The Southern Pa~ific road The onN consideration was a contract fo hauling express matter over th' rad for 4t rer cent Of the gross re ceipts. Pcssitlv a Ni~hN~ rercenta" "'
 -ould have been demanded but fo the stock bonus. CD some railroad the percentage is as high as D pc cent.
 The Southern Pacific has a two fold interest in the Ta'ntenanc of high rates by the eXuress con vany. It gets not merely a s1ar of the gross receipts blt also TT dividends on the stock given T One can see why whatever fnfnep 1
 that road can exert would D thrown against the establishment c , tfe parce's post. That would fore down express rates and tfe expres company would not te so productiY

 road.
 IL is true that the interstate con
 nerce commission has power regulate express charges but has the timer The parcels post w9T' rcgulate them effectively in shoi

 Seven billions Of dollars of cari. tsl will be directly and viteily at iected if the tidal wave oI pub lc Iegu ation goes rushing on. Half a million workers. thirteen thous- and business establishments and seven billion dollars of capital those figures represent the business to which the public rays daily trib ite in the light, telephones. street cars or gas it uses and which the public demands the right to regulate anu cure. These figures throw tight upon inc tasks of public utility commis- sions s1ch IS those of New fork state and Wiscor sin and such as are proposed in Illinois and other states.
 Governor Tener of Pennsylvania declared h's admin'strati n in favor Cf public service commission in that state. giving reasons which are whorthy of repetition.

 Such utterances in other states have given momentum to the tidal wave. but, if possible. t9e utte-- ances of the heads of public utii- ity interests. such as President Vah of the American Teieph1ne and Te'- ograph comrany have during re- cent months. made the result far naore certain. Opponents of the plan find themselves fred in from their own ranks, as it were, the ranks of corporation genera s. In his annual report President Vail said:
 Public control or regulation of public servioe corrorau ms by rer- manent commissicns has come and come to stay. Such control and rcguiation can and sH"uld stop all abuses Of c1aiuarzation. of extor- ton or Of overcharges, of unrea- s ,nable division of profits.
