Wells Fargo Makes 800 Per Cent Profit

wells Fargo Makes 300 Per Cent Profit
San Francisco, Nov. 1s.-Testimony
before the state railroad commissioners
today brought out the fact that the
Wells Fargo Express company, on an in
vestment in California of $l,116,O0O
received in two average months in 1901
gross revenue of $1,453,0OO or nearly
eight hundred per cent for year on
the capital outstanding. These figures
were given by the commission rate ex-
pert and not disputed by the company's
tariff manager. Other statements by
the experts are that California rates
are two hundred to four hundred per
cent higher than in states where COM
missioners fixed the rates, and that
small shippers pay disproportionate
part of the charges.

Chicago, June 1S.-The warning
Taft and Roosevelt forces gathered
at the Coliseum today for the open
ing of the 18th national republican
convention.
Rarely have the principals in a
national convention met under great
: er stress of feeling than that which
prevails today. The atmosphere is
electric with bitterness and personal
animosity.
President Taft's managers had con-
cluded plans for fight on the floor
of the convention on the assumption
that the temporary roll as prepared
by the national committee would
show a majority for Taft by small
margin. Also they assumed that the
temporary roll of the committee
would become the permanent roll OF
1.-The convention.
Roosevelt and his followers, evil
IDENTIFY being familiar with the Taft
Figures, evolved an eleventh-hour
yscheme for reducing this small Taft
majority by means of an arrangement
tto eliminate from the poll on tenn

Shave been challenged by Roosevelt.
t'This scheme, which was fathered by
She Illinois delegation and ratified at
meeting of the Roosevelt delegates
this morning, was embodied in the
following resolution:

sporary or other officers of this con-
yention or resolution or other pro-
