Baltimore, Md.-Just as he was pre-,
pairing to attend the dedicatory high
mass in st. Elizabeth's Catholic
Church, the edifice he had designed,
Robert G. Ulrich, an architect, fell
dead in his home. After months of
labor, which Mr. Ulrich had watched
as his plans grew into graceful shape,
the church was made ready for the
dedication, and the architect made his
preparations to attend the initial serv.
ice some time ago. 1t was while he
was dressing in his room, getting
ready to hear the first music and mass
in the church that he fell dead

UNDER FEDERAL LAW
HOUSE COMMITTEE LINKS MAILS
AND EXPRESS IN BILL.
Would Interchange Packages With
Rural Delivery Service-Highest
Rate Is IL Cents.

Westinghouse bill enlarging the
interstate commerce law so as to
place express companies under the
commission was reported to the
house by the committee on interstate
commerce.
The bill would govern the trans.
portation of packages not exceeding
eleven pounds in weight and with a
valuation of $50 or less. No allow.
ance would be made for the expense
of transfer from one express com
pany TO another.
The rates would be fixed as follows:
Between any two points in the
United States more than 1000 miles
apart, u cents a pound; not more
than 1000 miles apart, 10 cents; not
more than 1,20O miles apart, Z cents;
not more than 500 miles apart,
cents; not more than 600 miles apart,
cents and between points not more
than 250 miles apart, cents a pound.
1t is provided. however, that no ex-
press company shall be compelled to
accept for transportation any pack
age for charge Of less than 10 cents.
An innovation in the bill is the pro.
vision for cooperation between the
express companies and the rural free
delivery routes. Express matter des-
tined for a farmer living on rural
mail route would be delivered by the
express agent at the nearest point to
its destination, where, provided the
shipper had attached the necessary
postage, 1t would be turned over to
the mail carrier, through the regular
channels, for delivery. Rural carriers
likewise would be authorized to ac.
cept matter on which postage had
been paid for delivery to the express
! company.
