members of Congress to any plan in
volving the establishment of a protec-
torate over Nicaragua and other coun-
tries Of Central and South America. the

sion Of the Senate has been abandoned.

was given out by Secretary Bryan at

follows:
'The President has not changed his
views as to the main features of the
Nicaraguan treaty, an outline of which
has been before the foreign affairs COM

was not likely to be further demonstra-

George Voss and others of his posse
spread rapidly through the farming coun-

dealers received warning today that the
practice of selling swamps, sand dunes

same as the present rates.
A permanent committee has been ap-
pointed to revise the routes of express
carriers to eliminate the circuitous routes
which are now a cause or considerable
complaint on the part of shippers
With regard to the parcel post and Its
effect on the express companies, the re-
port says:
with regard to the small package
business of the parcel post 1t should be
noted that II will still be carried upon
the railroads of the country. So far as
the mail carriers are concerned, 1t Is OF
no consequence to them whether they
furnish rail transportation for the ex-
press respondents herein or for the Post
Office Department. The express COM
panies, moreover, will not experience
gross loss Of their earnings between their
earnings heretofore and the cost to them
Of furnishing terminal service upon these
parcels. The commission conclusion Is
that the establishment of the parcel post
Is not justification for any higher scale
OF rates than the one here shown to De
reasonable.
Order Stands Two Years.
THE commissions order is for two
years only. That period will give abun-
dant opportunity for a test Of these rates

ORDER
The decision Of the commission, deferred
as it has been for more than a year, fol-
lowed an investigation that occupied
nearly six years of hearings. special ex-
aminations of accounts and reports cover
ing in detail the various phases of the
express business. Nearly a carload Of
books and papers has been filed and Is
a part of the proceedings in this case.
The book by means of which rates are
figured according to the new system con-
tains 1,O9S pages Of closely printed fig
ures. An appendix gives list of articles
which may be sent by express and their
class. Another appendix gives list of
express stations. 1t Is divided according
to states. 1t shows just what block
the city Is in. and the names Of the ex-
press companies by which it is served.
A rate Is ascertained by first finding
the block" in which the place from
which the article to be sent Is located.
The block in which the place to whicn
1t Is to be sent Is then ascertained. BY
looking on the page in which the block
of the sending point is located the scale
number is then ascertained. This is to
be found in a column of figures which
are printed beside the numbers OF the
various blocks. Another appendix
shows the rate for articles weighing
less than one pound to 100 pounds. ac-
cording to the various scales.
