to twenty pounds, while at the same time
rates were materially reduced within the
$50 mile radius. This expansion is sure
to make additional inroads upon express
company revenues, but to what extent
has not yet been satisfactorily indicated.
So far results Of operation of the four
big companies for the first month of the
current operating year. July, have been
reported, and these results were GER
tainly not encouraging. American Ex-
press for July showed an operating def
cit Of about 1900 as against an operat-
ing income of $4,000 for July year ago.
August and September reports are likely
to be a little more encouraging, largely
because the companies had succeeded in
regaining to a degree control OF their
operating expenses.
An even larger factor than the parcel
post, however, to be taken into considera-
ton in connection with the question of
dividends for the current year Is the 16
per cent to q per cent reduction in rates
on interstate traffic which goes into effect
February l next. It has been estimated
by the express companies that to Offset
the loss resulting from this reduction in
rates business OF the companies must be
Increased between 15 and 20 per cent.
Whether this amount OF new business
or a substantial part OF It will be forth
coming under the increased soliciting ac-
tvity of the companies is a matter that
remains to be seen.

CRISP BILL BACKED
BY DISTRICT WOMEN
Will Make No Further Effort to Elk
pedite Case Of Nathaniel !
Green.

Following the return to the senders
of the petition OF 100 prominent wom-
Ell to the District Court of Appeals
asking that consideration of the case
of Nathaniel Green. colored, convicted
of assaulting white woman last
Christmas night. be expedited. the
women have decided to take no further
action with regard to this particular
case. but to urge the speedy passage
Eby Congress OF bill introduced In the
House yesterday by: Representative
Crisp of Georgia, providing for a
change in the law affecting criminal
assaults.
The women realize that even If Mr..
Crisp's bill should become law be-
fore Green's case is disposed of it could
have no effect on the penalty inflicted
on him. They declare that they SIM
ply took up the Green case because
this crime had already been commit
ted but that their main object was the
prevention of such crimes in the
future and the speedy punishment of
any which might be committed.
The Crisp bill would change the lam
guage of the existing law on criminal
assaults in the District. and instead of
giving a jury the right to recommend
capital punishment il would fix death
as the penalty. for the crime. unless
the jury recommends life imprison-
ment. This bill entirely suits the ideas
of the women who signed the petition
to the Court of Appeals. IL Is under

The Facts Are

First: The people on the At
lantic seaboard who are in dan
ger of being driven OUT are the
Refiners of imported raw sugars
who for years held undisputed
control of the sugar market.
Mr.. Underwood has said on
previous occasion that their
interest requires primary con-
sideration."
Second: The people whom
Mr.. Underwood wants to pre-
vent from driving out the Re-
finers are the growers of domes-
tic beet sugar in sixteen different
States. who produce $4,000 tons
of sugar in competition with
100000 tons melted by the
Refiners.
Third: The "tax" which the
American people are paying is
the payment Of a cents pound
retail for their sugar, as against
the average retailprice of E cents
a pound before beet sugar came
to the Atlantic seaboard.
Fourth: This is the first frank
admission that the avowed pur-
pose of Free Sugar" is to pro-
tect the Refiners of the Atlantic
seaboard against the COMPETE
ton of beet sugar. What have
the Refiners done to deserve
this support?
