THOUSANDS lNOvERCHARGES
Agents Of Express Companies Do Not
Understand Tariff and Regu-
lations of Companies.

Washington.-Prosecution of ex
press companies for overcharging
shippers was indicated by Commits
sioner Lane, at the express rate hear
ing, to be the intention of the inter
state commerce commission.
w. A. Ryan, one of the investiga
tors for the commission, presented
the examination of one months bust
ness of the Adams Express company
showing that $4,000 in overcharges
had been turned into the company S
treasury.
7. B. Harrison, counsel for the com
pany, explained what are known as
"over-payments,' and asserted that
he would be able to show that not
more than twenty per cent. Of the
$4,000 actually remained in the COM
pany's treasury. He added that posi-
tive instructions were given by the
company to all it's representatives to
make refunds on all discoverable
overcharges.
WELL" said Commissioner Lane,
lit is conclusiVely established that
the agents of the companies them
selves do not understand the tariffs
and, regulations of the companies. By
an examination of the business of the
companies for one day, we find more
than 5000 overcharges. Now, then,
we propose to prosecute the compa-
MES for making these overcharges.
They are clearly violations of the
law"

ON THIRD TERM
THE HOUSE DODGES
RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY MR.
sLAYDEN OF TEXAS AIMED AT
ROOSEVELT is DEFEATED.
DEMOCRATS OPPOSED PLAN
Resolution Would Make the Demo
Gratis Appear to Be Afraid
Of the Colonel.

Neutrality-suspicious. reasons of polit.
ical expediency the Democratic house
OF representatives declined to pass a
resolution aimed to defeat former
President Roosevelt's nomination by
the Republicans.
Representative Slayden of Texas,
the author of the resolution, sought
in vain to get vote on it under a
suspension of the rules. The opposi-
ton was led by Representative Ollie
James of Kentucky and Thetus w.
Sims of Tennessee.
On the vote by tellers, the result
was 81 to 80, the house refusing to
consider the resolution, which is still
pending before committee of the
house.
just at the moment when the Stay
den resolution, aimed primarily at
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, seemed
about to pass, shrewd parliamenta-
ry turn displaced the measure from
further consideration. 1t may be re-
vived later in the session, but its
position of vantage on the house cal
endar was lost.
Mr.. Slayden, Texas Democrat, in
troduced the resolution week ago.
1t sought to express the opinion of
the house" that the example of Wash
ington in retiring after a second
term, had by universal concurrence
become the time-honored custom of
the country a violation Of which
would be fraught with peril to free
institutions.

Washington.-Senator John Sharp
Williams Of Mississippi again aroused
the animosity and stirred to bitter.
ness Senator Hepburn of Idaho when
he sought to get a vote on his bill
to erect monument to the naval
forces of the Confederacy in the
Vicksburg national cemetery. The
bill was introduced at the request
of the park commission to erect a
companion piece to the monument to
the Union naval forces to be ready
in time for the semi-centennial cele-
bration in 1918. When Senator Hey
burn objected to the consideration of
the measure and before the chair
ruled that 1t must go over under the
custom of the senate, Senator Will
liams made this proposal: If the SEN
ator from Idaho will agree to let this
bill come to a vote, will promise that
no senator from the South, so far as
| am able to influence their action,
will vote on the measure
This pledge did not swerve Senator
Hepburn, who insisted that it would
not be proper or constitutional.
He said such measures amounted
to 'treading upon the sacred memo
ries of the people of the North" He
said it was proposed to take money
from the treasury of the people of
the United States" to expend in com
memorating the virtues of the enemy
