Dissolution Of u. s. Express
Co. Sad Blow to Critics
He Declares

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March IA
The voluntary dissolution OF the
United States Express Co. proves be-
yond doubt that the parcel post has
come to stay. and that the big express
men of the country realize that pro-
at 10 being made by the government
on this business declared Senator
Kenyon. OF Iowa, today.
III the parcel post business were
really being carried ut q loss. or II
there were no way Of making the bus
mess profitable with a few simple
changes. no one would know II better
than the express oflicials. and they
would continue In business, confident
that after q few lean years while the
parcel post would be continued, the
public would demand that this big
loss by the national government be
stopped. Then they would be reason
ing that the express companies wouid
come into their own again.
II think this news, at this particu-
lar time, is very appropriate. showing
that the claims made just few weeks
ego on the noor of the senate that
the parcel post Is being run at a tre-
mendous loss are absolutely unbound
cdr
NEW YORK. March l4.-Crushed
by the parcel post. directors OF the
United States Express Co. voted to
liQuidate It's affairs and dissolve It
in the shortest time possible. II Is
thought that \ syndicate will be
formed to take over the company's
assets and dispose Of them to the best
possible advantage.
There have been various estimates
|of the company's assets. but persons
familiar with their vaiue. declare the
return to the shareholders will be be-
twee $50 and 500 q share. There Is
considerable real estate OF value, as
well a. costly equipment and out.
standing contracts with railroads,
which, it II expected, will be trans.

E. B. BRlDGEWATER Is.
RELEASED ON $1OO BAIL

E. B. Bridgewater, publisher OF the
defunct Sentinel" arrested Sunday on
charge of gross cheat, based upon
his representations while publishing
the paper, was released from the jail
this morning on bail. a cash bail set
at 500 and furnished by Harry Greg
son.
The prosecution of the charge
against him is to- be made on war
rant sworn to by H. S. Canario, a
street car conductor, who competed
for a prize in the contest undertaken
by Bridgewater for subscriptions to
his weekly paper Canario maintains
that he was entitled to motorcycle
because of his success in the contest.
He says that Bridgewater gave him
motorcycle 1t is here that the
charge of gross cheat enters. The
conductor says that not long after the
motor was turned over to him. it was
taken away by the real owners, who
proved to him that Bridgewater had
never had title to it, but had only
been allowed to use it for test
ride"
Prosecuting officers say there is
possibility of other charges, falling
under the head of gross cheat also,
being made against the editor. So
far Rridgewater only has one warrant
against him.

BuRLESON VICTORIOUS
IN PARCEL POST fight
Senate Sustains Point Of Order
Against Amendment Curtailins
His Power.
RURAL CARRIERS PAY RAISED

Postmaster General Burleson yesterday
prevailed in the Senate over the Senate
Committee ON Postoffices and Post Roads,
which had sought, by an amendment TO
the postoffice appropriation bill. to curb
his power in the matter Of regulating
the parcel post system. The COMMITTEES
has reported an amendment which d.
rected that the Postmaster General IN
future should not make any changes In
rates, weights of parcels. or zones with
out authority from Congress. This
amendment has been discussed earnest
ly for three days. and the Postmaster
General has been criticised by Demo-
nrats and Republicans alike.
Senator Morris Sheppard. OF Texas,
made a point OF order against the amend
m I reported by the committee. Vice
President Marshall declined to rule on
the point of order and submitted 1t to
the Senate, which sustained Senator
sheppard's point of order by vote OF
50 TO a
Senator Bankhead, q Democrat. In
charge of the postoflce appropriation bill.
then offered an amendment forbidding
the Postmaster General TO increase the
weight limit of parcels above fifty pounds.
This was lost, 2S to a. Senator Bank
head probably will reoffer this amend
ment when the bill Is completed and
taken up for consideration.
Senator Bankhead then moved to limit
the authority of the Postmaster General
so that he could not increase the weight
of parcels on star routes above nifty
pounds: This was lost by vote OF Is
to 81.
The Senate agreed to an amendment
reported by the committee, increasing the
pay of rural carriers, 50 that the max
irnum salary paid on a standard rural
route Will be 400 year.
The postffice bill was not completed
yesterday. and its consideration viii be
resumed today.
