The taxicah had proceeded up
Broadway without mishap when
for some reason the chauffeur
turned west on Rector street into
Church street, skirting the side
and rear of Trienity churchyard.
About midway of the old cemetery
three men sprang from the curb.
One jumped on the :hautFeur's
seat: the other two got into the
vehicle.
The mar on the seat pressed a
revolver in his ovcrcCat pocket
against the side Of the chautler,
Gini Martini, and commanded HIM
to drive swiftly on without making
any cutlery.
Inside the vehicle the two rob

EXPRESS COM
PANIES' EXTORTION

Express companies of the United
States pay 60 per cent of their
gross earnings to the railroads,
and oil what is left, after all ex-
penses are paid, they declare
dividends of al per cent on an
investment that is principally
water.
These startling facts have been
brought out by Attorney Frank
Lyon, representing the Inter State
Commerce commission at the hear
ing o in progress before the
commission. Here are some Of the
charges against the express COM
panies which MIR Lyon has under
taken to prove:
EXtortionate and unequal rates:
over-charSes and over weights:
collecting at both ends; inefficient
service; combination with rail-
roads for the oppression of the
public; usurpation of govern
mental, banking and. commercial
functions. unconscionahle divi-
dends.
That the railroads are gradually
turning more and more of their
business into the express COM
panies which are largely owned by
the same men who own the -ail-
roads over which they operate is
indicated by figures gathered by
Mr.. Lyon on the increase in per-
centage Of the express business
over other activities of the rail-
roads. This table of figures
showed that the percentage Of
increase in express business of
1910 over 1899 was lS4.42 per
cent; from freight 1926: from
passenger traffic los. rs: and from
mail, 1907. The population of
the country increased in the mean
time only 1926 per cent.
1t was also shown by Mr.. Lyon
hat the bulk of the express bust
ness of the country was in pack
ages on which the charges were
from fifty TO seventy-five cents,
thereby proving that it is the
small shipper who is the h irdcst
hit, The attorney further cited
proof of exclusive contracts he
tween the express companies,
showing that before the former
could cut their melons"
they first had to turn over 60 per
cent Of the entirr gross revenue to
the rail road companies.
Every body who testified against
the express companies
the witnesses were representatives
of commercial and trade associa-
tons from all over the country
told Of the monopoIies the express
lines have obtained, and that
there has been q gradual increase
Of rates varying all the way from
80 to as high rs $50 per cent.

When the exhibit was planned il
wa the intention of the su~pervis-
ing principal and the vice-principal
Of the high school to give the
exhibit in the high school for tn e
purpose of buying pictures for
that building, but later the plans
were changed so as to include the
two schools. We had intended to
divide the net receipts equally but
due to the fact that the grammar
school students sold so many
tickets the high school students
voted to divide on a two-ffths and
a three-fifths basis. After the
pictures we're chosen the results
were that $3S went to the high
school and the remainder to the
grammar school. By this plan
there will be four large pictures
purchased for the high school and
twelve smaller ones for the gram
mar school. We believe this to be
an equitable division.
We wish to thank tie school
patrons and friends most cordially
for their loyal support of this
exhibit. Our returns far ex-
ceeded III most sanguine evpecta-
tons. We feel deeply indebted to
the public for the success of this
affair. We wish to thank the news
