NEW COTTAGE
IS FINISHED

The new cottage built by Her
man Springemeyer is about fin
ished and is one of the most com
plete homes that has been erected
in this city. From the basement
to the roof it is modern and new,
while the construction is most
thorough. AS 10 as the paint
ers finish the interior it will be
ready for occupancy.
Mr.. Springmeyer is nC~N busy
clearing off the grounds and
grading the same. When ii is
Ieveled up and planted it will be
most attractive. A cement side
walk is to be laid along the front
making it complete in every par
ticular. Mr.. Springmeyer is a
home builder and a good one, as
three modern houses have gone
up since he took up his residence
in this city. A few more such
energetic citizens would be ap-
preciated.

Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Makes Charge
Against Companies.

At today's hearing of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions investigation of
the express companies, Commissioner
Lane practically charged that partner
ship exists between the express COM
panies and the railroads He thus nulli-
fed the excuse of the express companies
that large percentage of their re-
ceipts go to pay for the transportation
of packages. ."
Commissioner Lane had been endeav-
oring, through a number of questions
put to George c. Taylor, vice president
and general manager of the Western
division Of the United States Express
Company. to learn why a fiat rate
per 100 pounds could not be paid to
the railroads, instead of paying ny the
ackage.
Gould not such an arrangement be
nader" asked the. commissioner.
You would have to ask some one
higher up In, the service than myself, "
answered Mr.. Taylor.
Now, isn't ii true, asked Commis-
sioner Lane with some force, that
there Is a partnership between the eX-
press companies and the railroads?'
Z Mr.. Taylor's answer was eYasive, put
II was evident that Commissioner Lane
believes there is such a partnership In
existence
4 Commissioner Lane was not pleased
at the failure of Mr.. Taylor to answer
his questions
There is one thing that must be un,
derstood," said the commissioner, and
that Is that the express companies have
got to modernize their business. and
rot entirely along lines suggested by
the express company officials. If the
CoInpa. iGs do not effect these needed
RENE dies, then it may have to be done
for them
MI. Iaylor occupied the witness chair
during the entire forenoon session, and
was recalled when the hearing was con-
vened at 2:30 this afternoon. His testi-
mony had largely to do with rates, the
efforts of the companies to deliver
promptly and with overcharges and
claims.
Mr.. Taylor, illustrating the high char
acter and ability of men employed
by express companies of the United
States, told the commission of the
great care used in hiring men.
