EXPRESS COMPANIES ASK DISAPPOINTMENT
May Request Hearing Be- fore Commission on
 Rates Be Delayed

Washington September 12.-The new parcels post system has raised some com plications in the adjustment of express rates by the interstate commerce com mission. Last July the commission or dered radically changed methods of the operation of express companies and sug- gested q system of rates and rate mak- ing to be considered by the express off, cials. Tentatively, October was fixed as date on which the commission would hear from the express companies and shippers reasons why the proposed rates should not become effective.
 Into the mass of figures of the tens of thousands of rates suggested in the order many errors crept, to correct which the commission announced it would issue a suppiementarY order IL probably will be published in a few days.
 In view of the unavoidable delay in tho issuance of corrected order, and in view also, of the new parcels post system Y hich affects directly the express com panies, it is practically assured the ex- press officials will request n post bone ment of the october hearing, that they may have opportunity to check and com pare the parcels post rates and the com missions rates with their own.
 lt Is probable the commission may re- gard such request entirely reason able. It is desired to secure an amica- ble adjustment of the express rate struc- ture, to avoid a long period of litigation.

TAFT
 BUSY ENTIRE DAY
Talks With Cabinet Mem bers, Anderson, Cleveland
 and Committees

Beverly, Mass. September 12-This was the busiest day President Taft has spent in Beverly this summer He was in conference from the time he returned from the Myopia links, through luncheon until long after dark. He talked with two members of his cabinet, Attorney General Wick ersham and Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh; Chandler P. Anderson, the counsellor for the state department the head of the Presidents economy and efficiency commission Dr. F. A. Cleveland; few committees, and posed again for the moving picture men. In odd moments he dictated important tel egrams and read others, including one from Chairman Hilles of the repub- lican national committee, congratulate ing him on favorable political news of the day.
 MT. Wickersham told the President of conference he held earlier in the day with United States District Attor- ney French of Boston about the prose cution of the United Shoe Machinery company. The proceedings so far have been conducted behind closed doors
 
 them as star chamber proceedings and said that such action was "un- heard of" He declared before he left Beverly for his horne in New York that he intended to go oeepiy into the Unit ed Shoe case when he returns to Wash ington.
 MT. Anderson has been on leave from the state department but discussed the Mexican situation with the President His view of conditions there was en- oouraging and he was said to have told the President that matters were no more grave than they have been for months.
 Secretary MacVeagh had several mat ters to take up with the President. one he regarded most important was the question of loaning to banks in the west money from the United States treasury to be used in moving crops He probably will announce a decision in the matter within the next few days.
 The President assured the commit tee from the Charlestown navy yard that he would do all in his power to provide employees with work in Octo- Der. The committee expressed fear that many employees would be without a job next month.
