until he met death. His body, with a
bullet through the temple, was found
Sunday morning propped against a
lamppost in the outskirts of the city.
The young man, according to the au-
thorities, was close friend of Drewes
and it was from him that Drewes
planned to buy an automobile. Mayor
s. G. Wynne, chief of the county de-

known and that he had not attended

that an old grudge may have been the
motive for the killing.

RUHR IS ISOLATED; REDS ORDER KRUPP

Discipline of Red Guards Improves and They Are Determined Not to

By Associated Pres.

London, March 31.-The Essen core spondent of the London Times, tele- graphing from Cologne today, says he was forced to go to Cologne as the Ruhr valley is isolated from the rest of the world there being no trains, telegraph communication or telephones. several factories are still in operation. although all are picketed by red guards
 The workers of Dusseldorf refused tc strike, and it was reported at Essen that the Bochum workers had taken similar action
 The reds ordered Krupps to cease work yesterday and the huge factory was lying idle. 10 the disgust of the workers.
 The supreme workers council sent delegation to Cologne Monday to in- form the allies that the reichswehr troops were advancing into the Ruhr asin without the entente powers per- mission and to request them either to erder that this invasion cease or occupy the Ruhr territory themselves. As the delegates threaten to blow up the fac tories and mines unless the entente takes action, it will possibly be neces- s6ary for the allies to occupy the Ruhr 'd;strjct.
 Reporting a visit 10 the red front the correspondent says the discipline of the red guards seems to have im- proved and they are determined not to surrender their arms unless possibly c the allies; but their line is thinly held and often disconnected.

OPERATION
 OF EXPRESS co.
Unscrambling' of Amer ican Railway Express
 Co. Considered

New efforts to improve the stand ards of the express service throughout the country are contemplated by the American Railway Express Company, which will continue the handling of the business as 8 single unit, for the tune being at least.'
 This statement was made yesterday by J. T. Montgomery, agent, in charge of the local express offices. in urging shippers to be patient and 10 lend their operation in bettering the express service.
 Now that the American Railway Express Company is operating under its own management" said MT. Mont gomery, i've are gradually returning to aormal conditions and are introducing great many changes in methods. which we expect will, within reason able time. show results very satisfac- tory to shippers.
 We have already accomplished much since the time of the merger in 1918, and the service is generally considered good, but we do not say it cannot be improved and that is our aim. Yet we cannot promise immediate inn provement, owing to the unsettled con ditions that have to be faced during this period of readjustment With the
 
 and with more facilities in cars and te rminals, we believe that we can show great progress in this direction 'It is out of the question to consider what some people call the 'unscram bling of the American Railway Ex- press without greatly unsettling the whole express business and doing more harm than good to the shipping pulp lie. The present company is an or ganization that took over the business of the seven formerly separate com panies and consolidated their working forces into unified operating agency e 100 coo men.
 'eWe have consolidated the routing of freight so that it is now on a na- tional basis, giving shippers the most direct railroad routes available for the handling of their business. The cen- tTalized management has made possible the introduction of standardized and improved methods of express operation 1 throughout the country. We believe that shippers appreciate the advantage of eentralization of the express busiy ness.
 "The situation with the express busi- ness is different from that of the rail- roads, in that the government has sim | Fly guaranteed the present company against an operating deficit for the Inext six months, instead of guarantee | ing the profits for period of three years, as has been done with the case O. the railroads. But no service can survive if it is operated at deficit, 1 and so we feel it is necessary for us l to have an increase in express rates, | in order to make the express service a paying business, and to bring it up to l fhe oldtime standards of efficiency"

Ready for Seasons Drive

March found preparations well under way for the 1920 campaign against the cattle fever tick. Prospects for effective work are so encouraging that federal of- ficials in charge of tick eradication ex- pect that at least 90 counties in the va rious tick-infested states Will be made ready for release from federal quarantine next December. This will mean much larger amount of territory cleaned up than was placed in the free area last year.
 Only 30 per cent of the total area origi-
 nally quarantined remains under tick domination. and it should be materially reduced this year. The end of the long campaign which began actively in 1906 is
 well in sight. and with continued CO operation from the state and county gov- ernments the bureau of animal industry hopes that in not more than three years
 the south will be tick free.
 Cattle will be sent through the dip- ping vats as early in the season as the weather and their condition will permit. lRcports from field workers say that cat l tie which went into the winter tick free are showing up this spring in much bet ! ter condition than the animals which l were subject to continued attacks of the parasites Cattle in poor condition
