PROBE
IS DECIDED ON
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion So Decides.

Washington. July IA sweeping
Investigation of all the express COM
panies in the United States, affected
by the Interstate commerce laws, was
ordered by the interstate commerce
commission on it's own motion.
Evidently, in anticipation of this &C.
ton by the commission, practically all
of the express companies, with the
exception of the Long Island, filed
new tariffs which are believed to be
material reductions in rates. 1t was
said that it would require several
months to compare these rates with
those now in existence.
More than a year ago the number
of the leading commercial organiza-
lions of the country petitioned the
commission for general investiga
ton into the rates and methods of the
express companies, and in it's order
the commission says that the inquiry
is ordered ito determine whether
such rates, classifications, regulations
or practices are unjust, unreasonable
discriminatory, preferential or prejudi
cial, or otherwise in violation Of the
provisions of said act, and to deter
mine the manner and method in which
the business of the express companies
is conducted"

Another Of Audubon County's Old
And Respected Pioneers Gone
The Way Of All Earth

Mr.. Peter Hansen was born in Den.
mark March %. 1910 and lived there
until he reached his majority. Like
thousands OF others he was fired with
ambition and soon sought the well
como shores of the United States of
America, where his young and sturdy
muscles we're directed in forming his
future fortune. He was married to
Msss Magdalene Petersen in the year
1880 and settled on farm in Oak field
township where five daughters were
born to brighten their days. Four
of the daughters are married, one re-
naming at home single. After over
thirty years OF toll and suffering and
all the time on the same farm he
concluded 10 leave the farm to youn-
ger men and move to Elk Horn where
in the declining years of life hecould
visit daily with his people, and enjoy
his church privileges. One year ago
he purchased ground and builta plea
SAINT home in that thriving young CT
ty whore he resided until his death
which occurred last week. The ia.
mily have the sympathy of the Jour-
