EXPRESS RATES LOWERED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Issue Drastic Order.

Washington, Aug. S.-Reductions
in express rates which will cost the
companies fully $26,000000 4 year
approximately 16 per cent. of their
gross revenue, were ordered by the
interstate commerce commission on
Monday to become effective on or be
fore October Is, 1913 Notable re-
forms in practices also were order
ed
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way of
modification of the present gradual
ed scale of parcel rates. One hun
dred pound rates for short distances
either have been left unchanged or
slightly reduced. For packages more
than four pounds going more than
200 miles and less than 1000, the
new express rates are generally low
er than the parcel post rates; for
more than 5000 miles the rates are
practically the same.
The general impression in official
quarters is that the express compan-
les will attempt to test by lega
means the constitutionality of the
commissions order.
The express companies have filed
a statement indicating that the loss
es of revenue under the proposed
rates would be intolerable and argue

The new system of rates is not
only a simplifcation of existing rate
structures and methods, but in the
opinion OF rate experts lays the foun-

The commissions order is for two

abundant opportunity for test Of
these rates under varying conditions
amounting to a normal average. In

MUSICAL TREAT
ENJOYED BY ALL
GOOD PROGRAM GIVEN At FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ON
SUNDAY EVENING.

Music lovers enjoyed a rare treat
Sunday evening, at the First Presby-
terrain church, when the annual Christ
mas musical program was given. The
concert Is agreed to have been the
best ever given at that church and
each number was one of unusual de-
lightfulness. The two regular choirs.
senior and junior, with Mrs. Eugene
Pierce as directress and Miss Rose
Gephart as organist, were assisted on
this occasion, by Miss Ellen Foster, at
the piano, Fred Fritz, violinist and w.
IL. Kelly the new director of the saith
Regimental band, as cornetist.
The opening number was an anthem,
by the senior choir with Mrs. Pierce
as soloist, to which violin accom-
paniment was played by Mr.. Fritz.
Mr.. Kelly's cornet solo, composition
of Neidlinger's, was greatly appreciat-
ed, as were the soprano solos of Mrs
Russell Harper, and Mrs. N. B. Blish
of the South Ottumwa church who as
sisted at this occasion. The offertory,
one Of Schumann's nocturnes, was a
piano and organ duet by Miss Foster
and Miss Gephart. One Of the best
numbers Of the program was the quin-
IoIIc Ny MI .. Ildl pCl, Ml .. lCiIo.
Mrs. Ernest Daggett, J. A. Walker and
e. Daggett, with Mrs. Harper singing
a soprano obligata. The song was
beautiful arrangement of the old Ger
man melody, "Holy Night" The final
number was an impressive and inspir-
ing one, the congregation rising to sing
''Joy to the world" with the senior
choir in the organ loft with Mr.. Fritz
violinist and the junior choir on the
lower platform with Mr.. Kelly and
Rev. r. Ames Montgomery, and Misses
Foster and Gephart at the piano and
organ.
Much credit is due the Junior choir
as we'll as the older singers, who have
practiced faithfully for number OF
weeks. The work of the choirs show
ed their keen interest in the work and
the efficient direction of Mrs. Pierce.

Paterson, N. j., Dec. 23.-Further
inquiry into the former life of Mrs.
Roy l.. Glover, the woman whom Dan
lei Devilliers went to see before he
was shot to death at Los Angeles yes
terday, revealed today the fact that

LOPEZ MAY STILL
Be IN UTAH MINE
SLAYER OF SIX HAS BEEN SEAL.
ED UP IN TUNNEL SINCE
TWO WEEKS AGO.

Bingham, Utah, Dec. 23-If Ralph
Lopez, slayer Of six men is still in the
Utah-Apex mine where he took refuge
on November 81, he Is securely sealed
up and will be held prisoner there
until after Christmas, not sound hav-
ing come from the mine since Dec. IA,
when heavy bulkheads were erected in
tunnel mouths to prevent a dash for
liberty.
Although Sheriff Smith, now in sole
charge of the man hunt, remains con-
fident that the desperate is either
dead or alive in the mine, many be-
lieve he escaped shortly after smudges
were lighted on Dec. I for the purpose
of asphyxiating him.
1t is believed that the mystery Of
the mine will not be cleared up until
the bulkheads are removed and the
workings searched for the gunman's
body. Other than the stories Of miners
who said they had encountered Lopez
and talked with him, there has been
nothing to indicate Lopez's presence
in the mine since November 80, fol-
lowing his killing Of two deputies in
the Andy Tunnel. The pursuit Of
Lopez began on November 81 after he
had killed a Mexican. Before the day
ended he had killed the chief of police
and two deputies who pursued him.

Wade EuTooIzes Friend.
Iowa City, Dec. 23.-Judge M. j.
Wade, former congressman, and the
man who took I. s. Pepper to Wash.
ington as his secretary, yesterday paid
touching tribute to the young con-
gresham whose career Is ended by I'M
timely death. Judge Wade paid the
following tribute:
"Mr. Peppers death Ia personal
loss to me and loss to the state
and nation. Few men accomplished
what he has in the short space Of
ten years. 1t is ten years ago last
March since he, then a school teacher,
became my secretary when I went to
Washington. Since that time he has
studied law, was admitted to the bar,
returned to his native state and was
twice elected county attorney Of Mus
catine county. He was twice elected
to congress in which place he attained
a prominence acquired by few men
even after service of many years.
HE was one Of the most loyal, faith
full and generous men l ever knew. His
success and his achievements were due
to his willingness to serve and his cap
acity for work. He never knew when
to stop working, especially If it was in
the service of a friend. Broad and
generous he responded to every call
for assistance regardless of personal
Inconvenience to himself. No man in
Washington has done more genuinely
hard work not only for the people Of
bis district but for the people of his
state. This was illustrated in his ef-
forts in behalf of old soldiers. He pro-
cured more special pension legislation
for old soldiers, l dare say, than any
other congressman who ever served
from the state of Iowa. Every men,
Der of congress regardless of party
had a deep affection for him, and I
can not at this time undertake to re-
view his career. He was kind, noble
soul. Had he lived he would have
reached an emminence attained by few
men. He will be molrned wherever
he was known and mis- achievements
will stand as monument to a con-
scientious, industrious, generous and
decent life"
