MARKET VALUE OF
SP00KS is $4,000

Chicago; Aug. ga market value
has been placed Upon healthy, regularly
operating ghosts that are guaranteed
to moan and shrek and send shivers
down the spines Of the timid. The
Chicago market for spooks was strong
today, with $4,000 as the closing fig
ure.
1t was the board of review that ruled
upon the money value of a real ghost
when the assessment figure on the
property of J. S. Deuterlander at No.
1915 South Oakley avenue was cut
from $4,000 to $4,000 after the owner
had convinced the tax experts that a
haunted house, instead of being an as
set as a novelty. was in reality a white
elephant on his hands.

EXPRESS CONCERNS
MUST STAND TRIAL
Court Rules Against Adams
and American Companies In
Government Suit.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26.-The
Adams n American Express compan-
les, indicted for violations of the inter
state commerce act, must face trial.
There is no escape through pleading
that they are not corporations or COM
pantes within the meaning of the law.
That, in effect was the decision Of Fed
eral Judge Hazel at Buffalo in an
opinion today In the case begun by the
Interstate Commerce commission
against the two companies alleging
overcharge and granting unlawful con-
cession.
Very recently Judge HOLSTER, in the
United States district court at Cincin-
natl ordered a similar Indictment
against the Adams company quashed,
because. he held, the company. being
merely a stock company and not a cor
poration could not be indicted. He
held that 1T would be necessary for the
Interstate Commerce commission to Sc
cure the Indictment Of Individual stock
holders in order to maintain a ease in
court. The commission realized that
such a proceeding would be impractic-
able.
Judge Hazel held that the indict-
ments brought at Buffalo were sound,
because, in law, the express companies
are legal entities and i%ndictable as
such under the interstate
act. The commission will press the
case,
