EXPRESS COMPANIES
 CUTTING RATES

Washington, D. C., Jan. l3.-- The first round in the long drawn Out battle which is expected be- tween the PUstOtficr department and the express companies through the operation of the new parcels post. has been fought here as a result of the plan of a. san Diego. CaI.. man to start shipping tn New York two ear loads of prunrs ~by the gn\rrn- mrnl service.
 The drparlmrnI received word that the san Diego shipper in tends to start his shipments i'll January under the zone system, which would make the postal rate 96 cents for an eight pound package. Hearing this, the eX- press companies at once cut their prune rate for the same distance to 35 cents on eight-pound pack ages.
 It is expected that operation of the new postal system will force cuts in many varieties of mer- cnandiSc throughout the coun- try just as they did in the prune war.

 LANDED IN JAIL
Detective Got Tip From Convsrsa- ton on Train--Two Men and
 Two Women Arrested.

San Francisco, Jan. l3.--Ar- rested in an exciting tussle with the police, two men and two women, recently from Portland, Ore, are in the city prison sus- pected of being violators of the white slave law. They are Lizette Miller, A. C. Book, Frank Miller and Queenie Stanford.
 The four were taken ill a raid on a house in the residence dis trict. The women and Miller were found locked in room when the police entered, but Book, at the approach of the officers, jumped from window and led the detect- ives a chase. Detective William Callaghan, who led the posse in making the arrests, met the wo- men and their escorts several days ago on a train coming from Portland, where he had been as a witness in a white shaver trial in that city. In a brief conversation with the men on baseball topics he learned their identity and lost little time in locating their Slop- ping place here.
 The officers intend to prosecute the prisoners under the Mann act, which prohibits taking women from one state iu another for inn moral purposes.
