this hearing that a further and more
complete hearing would be best for
all concerned. Attorney Foster for
the defendant entered an appeal from

 Just how the question will be solved, if at all has not been determined. Dur- ing the recess committees named by Com- missioner Lane will conclude their work and may be able to report. It is not un- likely that the inquiry will be ended soon after it is resumed. Testimony was submitted at the hearing today by s. J. Wright, agent of the An1er- ican Express company in London, Eng land; Otto Kuhnberger of Hamburg, Ger many, and Paul Dardignac of Paris cons cerning the operations of express cons panies and parcels post in Great Britain, Germany and France. In general the testimony showed that the express service in the three foreign countries, while lower in cost, was not comparable either in speed or in other re- spects with that in the United States.
