When oppenhcimer. OF chewaiah,

what use they we're going "a be put.
The whole question In now cleared up

TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS

The step taken by the direct
ors today was fo~reshadowed a few
weeks ago when the stock, which had
sold down to 3S last December, sud
denly rose on large dealings from 65
TO "a, it's price on last Wednesday,
and Wall street was soon of the opin-
ion. despite official denials, that dis
indignation was under way.
The success of the parcel post and
the recent order of the interstate
commerce commission resulting in
a 81 per cent reduction In express
charges. are held directly RESPONSE
bic for the company's retirement
from business after sixty years of
continuous operation over some of
the leading railroads of the country.
Earnings of the company for the
five months of the fiscal year so far
reported showed steady declines, with
a deficit of $4,000 for November.
Holiday business was fairly large,
but earnings continued to dwindle
until some of the more influential in
~terests became outspoken for liquida-
ton.
The late Thomas G. Plat and his
family we're for years the dominant
interests in United States Express.
In fact. their control was so com
lplete that they succeeded in warding
on numerous demands and protests
on the part of minority interests and
for many years practically nothing
was known by the public of the af-
fairs Of the company. no meeting of
the stockholders having been held in
more than fifty years.
There are outstanding loo. 900
shares OF United States Express stock
and these are in comparatively few
hands.
The Hartman estate is believed to
hold over one-hfth of the whole. which
the late f. II. Hartman acquired
from the American and Adams Ex-
press companies before his death.
at an outlay Of about s2.250.O0O. The
interest Of the Plat family. two OF
whom continued TO be quite active
In the management Of the company.
are said 20 be relatively small.

New York. March 14.-Directors
OF the United States Express COM
pany voted unanimously today to
liquldate It's AFFAIRS and dissolve Il In
the shortest possible time. THE reso-
luton under which this action was
recommended follows;
Resolved, That pursuant to the
power and authority conferred upon
the board OF directors of the United
States Express company by its arti-
cles Of association. the board unan-
imously declares that It is for the
best interests OF the company that
AZ be dissolved as soon as may be,
without awaiting the expiration OF
its term OF existence; and that its
business and affairs be settled up
and finally adjusted as promptly as
may be done. The president is d.
rected to inform the shareholders of
the company of said action of the
board.
A committee on liquidation which
embraces the representatives of the
leading interests OF the company, in
Guiding Charles A. Peabody, presi-
dent OF the Mutual Life Insurance
company and the chief financial ad-
wiser Of the Hartman estate; VIII
liam A. Read. ex-senator W. Murray
Crane Of Massachusetts, and Haley
Fiske. vice president OF the Metro
politan life Insurance company, was
appointed to undertake the work of
dissolution.
The precise means to be adopted
for realizing on the company's assets
were not disclosed. but Il Is thought
likely that n syndicate will be formed
to take them over so hat they may
be disposed OF TO the best advantage.
There have been various estimates
of the company's assets. but persons
familiar with their value assert that
the return 10 the shareholders will
be between 500 and Si00 a share.
There is considerable real estate OF
value as well as costly equipment
and outstanding contracts with rail
roads. which It Is expected, will be
transferred to other express com
panies at a fair profit.

then blocked by an inch and a quarter
