q coin. as it was by that mean he de-
cided not to sail of the Titanic.
Anderson left in January for Scot
land. where he spent considerable
time visiting with his parents and rela-
tives. He had met a number of young
men who were coming to the United
States in the part of Scotland where
he vas visiting. and they tried to pur-
suade him to sail with them on the
Titanic.
Anderson had made arrangements
to leave or the Olympic but missed
train connections and arrived in Liver
pool after the time set for the sailing
of that boat.
He made inquiries at the office and
was told that owing to trouble with
the crews and getting coal on board

scribes Sweeping Reductions in Express
Rates, Changes in Regulations and
Reforms in Method of Operation.

Washington, July 14.-Sweeping re-

drastic reforms in regulations and
practices; and comprehensive changes
{ in the methods of operation, are pre-
scribed in report made public to-day
BY the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion of its investigation into the bust
ness of the thirteen great express COM
pahies of the United States.
Dealing with the identity of inter-
est between the various companies,
the report finds that while these com
panies are separate legal entities, lit
is of interest to regard this fact that
by stock ownership and otherwise
they are so interlaced. intertwined,
ald interlocked that it is with difficult
~ we can trace any one of the greater
companies as either wholly indepen-
dent in its management or the agency
of a single railroad system. So that
while these companies operate separ-
ately and compete with each other for
traffic, the express business may he
said to be almost a family affair." An
interesting genealogical tree in fact,
might be drawn showing a common
ancestry in all of the larger compan-
les. And while many names may be
used to designate these companies, it
is within the fact to say that aside
from the operations of the minor and
distinctively railroad express compa-
MES, the express business of the
United States is managed by not more
than three groups of interests"
The inquiry was the most extensive
and, in wealth of infinite detail, pro-
baby the most thorough, ever prose

pared by Commissioner Franklin X

reasonable than those on smaller par
cells.
Briefly stated the new rates may be
said to be based upon a minimum
charge of II cents for one pound
package. This charge increases in ra-
tito to the increase of weight and dis
lance, at rates varying from three
tenths of cent pound to about II
cents a pound. Twelve cents a pound,
according to the conclusions of the
Commission, is approximately the
highest rate per pound for the great
est distance possible for parcel to
be carried wholly within the United
States. exclusive of Alaska.
Packages weighing two pounds, for
instance, may he shipped 1000 miles
New York City to Chicago-for
"a cents; 1000 miles-New York
City to Denver-for 81 cents the
present rates being respectively
for each 80 cents. A three
pound package will cost q cents fol
LOCO miles and 81 cents for 1000 miles,
the existing rates being. respectively
each 45 cents. A ten pound package
may be- transported 1000 miles for
AZ cents and 1000 miles for II cents
as against the existing rates of 75

of transporting twenty-five pound
