|CUT IN EXPRESS RATES
| IS EXPECTED SHORTLY
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Is Completing Invesuga-
ton of Excessive Charges.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Express
charges throughout the United
States are to be materially reduced
by the interstate commerce COM
mission, as result of number of
hearings before Commissioner Lane
of New York and other places. An
opinion by Mr.. Lane in the case
was made to the commission the
latter part of December, in which he
attacked the system of express rates
as excessive and unreasonably high
in nearly every respect.
A circular letter, however, sent
out by the commissions attorney,
Frank Lyon, developed some facts
which the commissions attorneys
thought should be further investi-
gated. 1t was decided that Commits
sioner Lanes opinion, which hao
previously been approved by the
commission, should be held up.
The commission fixed January rs
as date for further hearing in
New York City. Commissioner Lane
will preside at the hearing, and tbs
commission attorney will interro-
gate witnesses along the line his in
vestigation developed From an Off
cial source it was learned this hear
ing will not develop such new facts
as will greatly change Mr.. Lanes
former opinion and the reeommen-
dalton as to reduction in rates
will stand

O'NEAL APPOINTS YEARWOOD
 SHERIFF OF PULLMAN COUNTY

Montgomery June 10.-(Special.)-- Governor ONeal today appointed C. C.. Yearwood sheriff of Cullman county to succeed Christopher c. Scheuing, who was recently busted from office by the supreme court. Yearwood was one of the candidates for the office of sheriff in the race against Scheuing and Charles c. Bryce. The election was contested by the latter two. and was finally decided In favor of Scheuing, the decision having been rendered by the probate judge of Cullman county.
 In issuing decree busting Scheuing from office. the supreme court held that he was in illegal possession of his office inasmuch as the legislature had enacted a law taking from the probate judge the authority to hear contested elections.
 In addition to naming the sheriff of Cullman county, Governor O'Neal also appointed the excise commissioners of the towns of Cullman, HancevilIe and Garden City, all in Cullman county
 The appointments of excise commis sioners are as follows, the first of whom is named for three years, the
