INVESTIGATING ||' < 5.
 EXPRESS RATES

Chicago, July 27.-Sharp vcrbale clashes between representatives of ex-i press companies and shipping interests marked the opening of. a nation- vide investigation of express rates by committee of railroad commissionsfs her tonight.
 It was contended on behalf of the shippers that the graduate scale of rates is unfair. that there should be more reasonable time limit within.s which claims against express com . panies for overcharges can be colIec.- ed and that the contract system be- tween express companies and railroads should be subject to severe scrutiny.
 There has been more or less com plaint against the express companies in all parts of the country, and il IS our purpose to find out what faults, If any, exist" said Charles F. Staples ol the Minneapolis railroad and warehouse commission, chairman of the commit-st tee. ,-eA

the farmers, at least in part, for the losses they will suffer as result of free trade in agricultural products With Canada.
 "They will" the speaker continues, "in some measure relieve all of the people of the United States who have been made to pay tribute to the wool en trust, long the pampered favorites or the tariff law. Two years ago, at the time we were considering the present tariff act which left schedule K prac- tically unchanged, I proposed certain amendments. These amendments have modified and offer as an amendment to the pending list
 q believe the duties proposed by me on manufactured wooden cloth are greater than are necessary to protect American manufacturers from Euro pean competition.
 However bearing in mind that tEis is but temporary measure to be fol = lowed. as l hope, by more thorough going revision, and with the purpose of meeting the views of a majority of the Senate to the end that some re- duction may be promptly secureI Fhall offer for present consideration to Con gress of .--e wool schedule.
 The effects of schedule K, which I now propose are as follows:
 Duty on clothing wools, 40 per cent carpet wools, 10 per cent; tops 45 per cent: yarn, 50 per cent; carpets, 4c per cent; on cloths and all other nan- ufactures composed entirely of wool or having wool as the component ma terial of chief value, 60 per cept.
 "The present average duty on raw wool as shown by the report on com merce and navigation of the bureau If statistics for 1910 is a fraction less than 45 per cent. In proposing a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem, I make no wide departure from the duties paid today on raw wools on the average. It will do away, however. with the gross inequalities and determinations under which the users of cheaper wools which go to make up the poor mans clothing, have to labor under the pres ent specific duties"
 Senator LaFollette said the proposed amendments of duties on manufactures of wool would result in reduction from S9.5S per cent ad valorem un- der the present law to 56.2 per cent, or more than 3S1a per cent ad valoren to more than 37 per cent below the present rate The change for the wool schedule as whole would represent a reduction from an average ad valorem of 61.74 under the present law to 36 "A per cent or reduction of 231a per cent ad yalorem and more than 36 per cent below the present rate.
 "It is matter of common knowledge to all who have travelled abroad as well as those who have studied these conditions that woolen goods are sold in this country generally. at double the price at which they can be pur- chased in England. This would justify the assumption that the duty enters fully into the price to the consumer"

Cellar. the company has been doing a business in loan in- vestment contracts" A man wishin g to borrow money from the concern paid S5 for a contract which bore a number between 1 and 100.

CHISHOLM MAY
 BE TRIED AGAIN
Former Tennessee Man Is Suspected of Trail of
 Crimes

San Francisco. July 2I-Upon the result of an investigation now being conducted by District Attorney Boyd of Marin county, California. will depend whether Dr. l.. C. Chisholm. recently convicted of the murder of John D. Powell or Van k. Drouillard and sentenced to life ini- prisonment shall be brought back from Folsom penitentiary to be tried for the1 murder of Miss Minna Paas.
 The young womans body was found on Mount Tamalpais, across the bay from San Francisco two years ago. At that time no clew to the identity of her slayer could be discovered, but facts developed during the recent trial of Dr. Chilsolm led the authorities to resume the investi- gation It is asserted by the district at torney of both Marin and Sonoma coun- ties that sufficient evidence has been unearthed to warrant the linking of Chis- lholm's name with the Mount Tamalpais crime.
 Inquiry Is being made to learn the prob- able fate of at least six other women with whom the San Francisco physician has been intimately related and who at different times mysteriously disappeared
 It was brought out at the trial of Chisholm that he had been sentenced to the Tennessee prison for counterfeiting 10 years ago. Later he deserted his wife and six children in Orlinda, Tenn. Mrs. Chisholm graduated from a college for women at Nashville where, as Nellie Payne. she was popular among her classmates
 Miss Paas, the victim oftMount Tamal- pals is believed to have come with Dr. Chisholm from Tennessee. It is the theory of the Marin and Sonoma county officials that the young woman was killed for $200 which she had in her possession. |
 According to the testimony at the trial the murder of Van K. Drouillard. for 1 merly of Nashville, or John D. Powell, | was committed to enable Chisholm, in | conspiracy with a woman who posed as the wife of the slain man, to collect sl5O0 1 insurance.
 Nashville, July 27.-Dr. L. c. Chisholm. | convicted in California for the murder l of the man identified as Van K. Drouil- | lard, formerly of Nashville, is believed l to be a Tennessee man formerly living l in Robertson county. This Chisholm sev- l eral years ago became involved with the federal authorities here for passing st 1 bills raised to '20s" by cutting out the | figures "1n and substituting '20'' taken l from Confederate bills. He was trailed | by secret service men across Kentucky | and to central Missouri, where he was 1 captured. He pleaded guilty and was fined $1000 and given six months in jail | which he served.
