M. P. EXPRESS GOES
TO WELLS FARGO co.

Pacific to Be Displaced July on Prin.
cipal Lines of System.
One of the most inexplicable ar
engagements in connection with the
express business of the United States,
and one probably disclosing an unex-
pected situation, is that existing be-
tween the principal Gould railroads
and the Wells Fargo & Co. Express.
Beginning July l, The Wells Fargo &
Co. Express will displace the Pacific
Express Company on the Missouri
Pacific, the St. Louis Iron Mountain
& Southern, the Texas & Pacific and
the Wabash.
The significance of this understand
ing can only be realized when it is
considered the Wells Fargo & Co.
Express is controlled, according to
common information, by the Harri-
man and Rockefeller interests, while
the Pacific Express is dominated by
the Gould lines.
The Missouri Pacific, it is UNDER
stood, holds 40 per cent of the Pacific
Express stock and the Wabash 20 per
cent, making 60 per cent for these
two Gould lines. The remaining 40
per cent of the stock is owned, by the
Union Pacific. The Gould and Har-
riman lines own the Pacific Express,
control resting with the Gould rail-
roads.
The announcement that the Wells
Fargo & Co. Express would in July
supersede the Pacific Express on the
Missouri Pacific, the Iron Mountain,
the Wabash and the Texas & Pacific,
caused the utmost surprise in railroad
circles. Although it was surmised
the Wells Fargo & Co. Express had
acquired control Of the Pacific Ex-
rress, the explanation given was that
the Wells Fargo concern had obtained
the contract with the Gould lines by
virtue of strenuous competition.
The Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
system has recognized the Manufac-
turers' Railway as common carrier
and will file tariffs with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. As the
Missouri Pacific, rather the Iron
Mountain, was the pricipal objector
to recognition of the Manufacturers
Railway, this decision means. in all
probability, that the Manufacturers
Railway will obtain $3.50 car for all
traffic it handles and that this allow
ance for terminal service will be de-
1ucted from the through rate.
However, the tariff cannot become
effective until. the Interstate Com
nerce Commission declares the Man.
Railway to be a common
carrier. When this is done, the Man.
lfacturers' will be in the same class

Panama California Exposition.

Panama California Exposition.
Washington, May 22.-A joint reso-
luton has been presented to Congress
authorizing and requesting the Presi-
dent to issue an invitation to the Re.
public of Mexico, and the Republics
OF Central and South America to par
ticipate in an exposition to be held in
San Diego, California, throughout the
entire year of 1915, and there is every
reason to believe that the resolution
will be passed at the extra session.
1t came as surprise to some of the
senators and congressman to learn
that two expositions are to be held in
California in 1915, and both for the
purpose of celebrating the opening
of the Panama Canal, but the repre-
sentatives of the San Diego project,
now in Washington, were able to
show an agreement entered into be-
tween the two exposition organiza-
tons in California, whereby the San
Francisco organizers agreed to assist
the San Diego people to get the pres
exposition resolution through, after
San Francisco had secured
federal recognition for her EXPOSE
ton. This agreement was signed
more than year ago.
There is no opposition to the San
Diego exposition resolution apparent.
Senator John D. Works, Of California,
one Of the Progressives, introduced
it in the Senate, and Congressman
Raker, from one of the Northern
California districts, and a Democrat,
introduced it in the House.
Col. D. C. Collier, of San Diego,
Director General of the San Diego
citizens and exposition officials now
in Washington, explains that San
Diego was first in the field with
project to celebrate the canal opening
by an international exposition, and
that San Diego has never let up on
the project since it was started. Fol-
lowing the signing of the agreement
with San Francisco, San Diego con-
Sented to keep its project in the back
ground until San Francisco had won
recognition from the government,
but during that period San Diego
proceeded to complete an organization
IT exposition workers, which contains
John c. Olmsted, of Boston, cele-
'rated landscape architect, who is
aging out the exposition grounds in
3alboa Park, in San Diego; BeHFttEfaasHfaa t
J. Goodhue, greatest exponent of
spanish Colonial architecture in the
world, who is designing the buildings
o form the great EMISSION City,"
hat will house the San Diego expo
ition, and Frank P. Allen, Jr., who
will be Director of Works, and who
vas selected because he was the man
vho completed the Alaska-Yukon ex-
'osition in nineteen months, and had |!
ready on time.
Director General Collier has as
ured the members of Congress that
an Diego is not intending to rival
an Francisco in the matter of an ex-
os;tion, but will build and open an
exposition that is to be entirely unique,
nd different from any other exposi-
on ever held. It is not to be a
sideshow" to San Francisco's ex-
either, but great spectacu-
r and artistic exposition, with the
ggest Indian Congress ever held as
ne Of its attractions.
The city of San Diego already has
Used =, 600. 900, and placed it in the
lnds Of the exposition organization

llifornia has pledged half a million

Who is TO be the winner of the
18th annual game between the foot
ball teams of the twin-cities, Rock
Island and Moline? A perusal of
the records of the two teams since
the Inauguration in 1899 of the an
nual game TO supplant the pair of
games each year shows Moline has
bested Rock Island in the majority
Of games which have not resulted in
a tie and so Rock Island is going to
go into the game this year with the
determination to completely oblit-
crate the record of the last > years.
Since 1905 the eleven defending the
crimson and gold has either been on

game has resulted evenly. Previous
to that year. Rock Island had the

BOWLING NOTES.

Salzmann would rather bowl than
eat. He hung up 542 last night. Next
week he will be on the Patting alleys
and says he is going to boost his
score about 100 pins.
H. WITCH rolled $50 on the Harms al
Ieys, high score down there. Lind
holm had 2O3 for a single game aud
535 for the three.
In his last game, Vollmer had six
splits and Doc" Mueller had five,
enough to pull the score down consid-
erably.
Van Etten simply ate up the pins at
the Patting alleys. He rolled PA in
one game and ran up to $50 for the
three games, high score for the even
ing.
Roantree and Huston were second
and third in the race for high scores
ar Pattings.
The .Pretzels have apparently estab-
lished a rule making it an offense to
roll more than 500. The quintet from
Davenport averaged less than $50
apiece.

BAUER AT AUGUsTANA.

Harold Bauer" writes II. T. Parker
in the Boston Transcript, lis capable
of an exciting piano recital, and ii is
one of the rarest things in the world.
There are pianists to hear with pleas
ant interest, and pianists to hear with
reserved admiration There are pian-
lists who play unfamiliar music, and
there are those who make certain curl
Gus varieties of the human species
more familiar But there are few in
deed that send their audience away
with a very high and keen sense of
musical and emotional stimulation.
Paderewski has done it many times
here in Boston, and yesterday at least
Mr.. Bauer did it.
at bottom both accomplish it by
one and the same meaus-and it is
the most legitimate means of all-the
beauty and the power of their tone.
They are masters of tone and that is
the beginning and end of all music.
They can lead it in long. glowing
curves. They can break it into a hun
bred sparkling faucets. They ran
round it into fiawless smoOthness,
make it as transparent as the clearest
crystal. They can drench it in sensu-
Gus beauty and cause II TO throb with
passion. They bend it TO many moods,
and make it the voice of many ideas.
And always with them it sings with
the exprcssiveness of beautiful and
emotional song.
Technical mastery does not bring
such power and beauty. 1t is merely
its instrument Force and insight of
mind control and direct it, but they
may not compass il alone. Imagina-
ton, passion. the intangible thing we
call temperament must bring 1t when
they are joined to the musicians mas
terry Of his art. Paderewski aside, no
pianist that has come to us in recent
years unites these qualities as Mr..
Bauer united them yesterday There
was no room for analysis. Delight of
the surest and truest crowded all else
out"

THE FORTUNE HUNTER"

A wonderfully convincing play is
The Fortune Hunter" Wiachell
Smiths comedy masterpiece, which
comes 70 the Illinois Nov q, and now
in its third year Of continuous pros
perity. This comedy is one Of the
most distinct play triumphs produced
on the American stage and its popu-
larity is unquestionably due 70 the
fact that # teaches a moral that makes
for the betteTmaHt Of the youths Of
the universe. When Nat Duncan en-
tiers his chum's apartment and con
fesses that II isn't In him 10 make any
sort OF success in business and in
sheer desperation accepts the scheme
of his friends that predicts the win

forgets the sordidness Of the scheme
That ne finds himself AID really sue
ceeds On his own merits is the authors
craft, but It is done with perfect natur-
alness and the working out Of the story
and play IS reasonable and feasible
The small town types with which Nat
finds himself surrounded might have
been taken from life. and the dialogue
and situations furnish good wholesome
laughter from beginning TO end.
