New York, March 1S.-Directors of
the United States Express Company
voted unanimously To-Day to iiquidate
its affairs. and dissolve in the shortest
possible time.
The success Of the parcel post, the
recent express rate reductions by the
interstate commerce commission are
held directly responsible for the COM
pany's retirement from business after
sixty years of continuous operation
over some Of the leading railroads of
the country.
Today's step was foreshadowed
few weeks ago, when the stock, which
sold down to thirty eight last Decem-
Der. suddenly rose on large dealings
from sixty-five to eighty-four. The
earnings for the five months OF the
fiscal year, so far as reported, show
steady declines. with a deficit of thirty
two thousand dollars in November.
Those familiar with The cosnpanysal
affairs declare the returns to share
holders will be between $50 and 500
per share. The late Thomas G. Platt
and family were for years the domi-
nant interests OF the company.
The precise plan OF realizing on the
assets were not disclosed, but it is
thought syndicate will be formed to
take them over SO as to be disposed OF
to the best advantage. The company
once had contracts covering thirty
eight thousand miles. A part have ex-
pired and 1t Is assumed the remainder
will be sold to a competing company.

PROBE PRINTING Of
MYSTERIOUS BILL
Senate President Orders lnves.
tigation to Find Author of
Substitute Measure.
Especial to the Evening start


TRENTON, March 26.-President
Slocum, of the Senate, yesterday
directed Secretary Dill to inquire OF
the State printer how committee
substitute for Senate 243 was printed
without the bill having been reported
from committee. The original bill
proposed to exempt naval and mill
tary employees from the classified,
service of the civil service law.
The committee substitute is an en-
tirely different bill and provides that
the State Civil Service Commission
shall consist Of two members. instead
of four as at present.
In the Senate, Senator Ramsay,
chairman OF the committee on labor
and industries. to which the original
bill was referred. said he still had
no report had been made. The official
record of the Senates journal also
shows that no report has beer an
nounced.
Just how the state printer came to
publish a committee substitute for
the original bill is mystery. The
fact is all the more suspicious be-
cause of a different bill being sub
stituted for the original civil service
exemption measure.
No one in the State supervisors
office has the least knowledge of how
the bill came to be printed. as nc
instructions were given to the printer
from any one in that department.
The Senators are determined to in
vestigate the fraud to the bottom
and try to locate the party respox
sible for the change IN the bill

TWOECONOMY BILLS
ARE PUT ON SHELF
Assembly Sidetracks Senate
Measures in Committee, De-
spite Richards Fight.
IspecinI to the Evening Star. I

TRENTON, March 26.-An old fight
was reopened in the House yesterday
when Assemblyman McDermott, of
Hudson, moved to have Senats bills
No 164 and 165 recommitted to the
judiciary committee. They are the
bills which Minority Leader Elmer
son L. Richards is urging the pass
age of and they are the only ones
of the bills drawn by the Economy
and Efficiency Commission which the
Republicans will pass. They passed
the Senate while seven other economy
bills were not reported out of coffi-
mittee in the Senate.
Mr.. McDermott, in the debate on
the motion to recommit again,
charged that there is some mysteri-
Gus reason back of the Republicans
eagerness to get these bills to pass.
The plan is to hold up sthe two Sem
ate bills and act on the House bills,
eight in number, so as to pass all OF
them if ii can be done.
These two bills provided for the
merging of the state Board of As
SCISSORS with the state Board of Tax
alton and for the transfer to an
other department /, the engineering
force of the Board of Assessors. AS
semblyman McDermott claims that
the Republicans are playing politics
n that they wish to get at two mem
bers of the State Board of Assessors
who are Progressives.
Assemblyman Richards, feeling him
self beaten in the fight to have the
bills acted upon in the House after
he had forced the reporting of the
bills out of committee by invoking
the rule of fifteen signers, moved to
table the motion to recommit. The
motion to table was put and lost.
Then the motion to recomm.t was put
and prevailed.
The Republican forces are aligned
to do away with the State Board of
Assessors and the State Board for the
Equalization of Taxes, in order to re-
move from Office Frank B. Jess, of
Camden, president of the latter board
and George L. Record, of Hudson, of
the Board of Assessors, both of them
being Progressive partymen and OBJ
tectionable to the Republicans.
Minority Leader Richards denies
that it is so, but nobody believes that
the action on the bills is not for that
purpose

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray; also ends dandruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair,
years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe for
about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy. -

MOOSERS FAVOR
LAND TAX BILL
Record, Osborne and Others
Speak for 1t at Assembly
Hearing.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, March ga hearing
was held last night before the AS
sembiy committee on taxation. The
hearing was held after the House had
adjourned for the day. The attend
ance was small. There was no oppo-
sition heard.
Among the speakers were Assem-
blyman Clinton e. Fisk, George L.
Record Edmund B. Osborne, James
G. Blauyelt, Mark M. Pagan and SEN
| ator Hennessy.
Several speakers talked on the
merits of the bill. The takers were
all members of the Progressive par
ty.
George l.. Record made one of his
familiar speeches. He decried the
present system of taxation and de-
clared it to be the most ridiculous
possible system of raising money
by taxation. Mr.. Osborne was
the next speaker. He said,
as he has often done before
that the men who gained by the en-
hancement of the value of the land
did not necessarily contribute to its
enhancement and ought to pay taxes
on it's value. He said that other COM
and the tax returns grew smaller.
That cannot happen with land, and
if it does discourage holding land
then land would become cheaper for
the working man to own and it is
the only real riches.
Senator Hennessy had nothing to
say other than what he said
at the Board OF Trade meeting
early this month in Newark and
Ill. - 4 Il.. 30 IA
| bates. He cited the case of Pueblo,
as he has done before, in a way to
make the Publoites' ears burn on the
| favorable side of their heads.
Senator Hennessy took occasion to
signalize the fact that he had intro
duced the bill in the House of AS
sembly last year and got sixteen
votes for it. When he sat down AS
semblyman Fisk passed the buck to
former Assemblyman Blauvelt. who.
he said, had first introduced the bill
in the Assembly four years ago.
Mr.. Blauvelt said that the tax, If
applied, could not possibly affect any
| community than that which adopted
II. It is home rule bill with q refer
endum attachment. If Paterson, for
instance, adopted the plan, then Pat
erson would be the gamer and the
State would gain by the example of
Paterson. Factories and residents
would flock to Paterson if it adopted
the plan of taxation. he said.
| Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan, of Jersey
City, who formerly was a member of
| the Hudson County Tax Board, said
| the experience he gained while a
member of that board indicated Ia
him that the land tax plan with the
| home rule feature is an excellent
measure With the right idea. He
urged the committee to report 1t IA
vorably. The hearing was adjourned
without the committee giving any in
| dication of what it means to do.
