would open Monday and the teachers,
several of whom were spending their
enforced idleness at their homes
away from Butler, were on hand and
were much disappointed at the new
orders. Mr.. Fisk, manager of the
Opera House had made all arrange
ments to open the house with big

Cancelled his order. The board could
not agree on whether the churches
should be closed or not and finally
left that matter to the churches them
selves, but the officers of each of
them concluded that it was best to
wait until all danger was past, SO
there was no service at any of the
city churches Sunday.

TAKES THE EXPRESS
BUSINESS
Presidential Proclamation Assigns
Operation to Mr.. McAdoo.

Washington, Nov. I6-President
Wilson issued proclamation today
taking over the consolidated express
business now carried on by the Amer
lean Railway Express Company and
assigning the operation to Director
General McAdoo.
This action serves to clarity the en-
press situation which heretofore has
been based ON the understanding that
the express combination operated
privately as the agent of the directo.
general.
No radical change will be made in
the methods of operation or in the
employees of the express company, it
was said at the Railroad Administers
ton.
The director general is expected
shortly to initiate higher express
rates in connection with the plan re-
Gently submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and partly
approved by that body. The Presi-
dents action in placing the express
business specifically in the hands of
the Railroad Administration will re-
move doubt as to the powers of the
director general to initiate rates for
the express company.
As soon as the new rates 60 into
effect the wages of the express EN-
ployees probably will be increased,
aggregate advances of about
IL million dollars.
