A letter received yesterday from the
district attorney Of Los Angeles county,

Grant, asks for Information concerning
the alleged possible connection of w. T..
Davis with the Pelican Point murders

ders in question were believed to have
been committed by man named Wrlgh'
and it Is not thought that Davis could
have had any connection with them
Incloscd in the letter WAS a picture OF
Davis.
A dispatch received last night from
Los Angeles is to the effect that the
defense OF Davis in his trial for the
murder OF William G. Wheeler a Saw,
tcllc Will be based on the unikclihood
of such deed being committed by a

ton OF Davis, which began today
before Justice l.. T.. Wells OF Redondo

Captain Davis Is past IS years Of
age, and beyond the time OF lite
when any motive might reasonably

tablished from any ordinary hypoth-
esis." added Mrs. Bullock.

George s. Auerbach of the Auerbach COM
panY Jast night 'The question has

eight states of the union. The stamp is

DECREASING RATES
Big Reduction in Favor of
Shippers Has Gone
Into Effect.
MANY CHANGES MADE
Largest Decrease Is in Pack
ages Weighing Less Than
100 Pounds.
MANY CHANGES MADE

A decrease Of approximately - l-3
per cent in rates and other conditions
favorable to Salt Lake shippers are
shown IN the new rates and classltca'
tions inauuratod by the various express
compa on February l, which were
arranged TO conform with the de-
mauds of the interstate commerce com
mission.
Although there have been marked re-
ductions in the charge for 100 pounds,
the greatest reductions have been made
in charges on shipments of less than
100 pounds. With the change in rates
there have been a number OF changes
in the rules and classifications.
The interstate commerce commission
has determined that all shippers must
place their names and addresses on all
lirst.class shipments, and IN event or
their failure to do so, the shipments
must be prepaid.
No shipments will be delivered to a
consignec in an evident damaged con
dition until written notice of the con
dltion of such shipment has been
mailed to the consignor at the address
