FURTHER INCREASES IN
 EXPRESS RATES APPROVED

Washington, Sept. 24.--Further increas- es in express rates averaging f3.5 per cent were approved today by the inter state commerce commission The in creases which apply to class and scommo- dity rates make a total increase of 26 per cent. granted the express companies within the last few months.
 The express companies hadasked for additional increases up to 15 per cent. The only exceptions made in the new rates are in the case of milk and cream shipments
 For the first six months of this year the express companies lost approximately s21.00O. 900, according to their report to the commission, which showed revenues or S159.6Sl.o0o and operating expenses of So,77S,000. During the first halt of 1919, the companies reported revenues of S132, ,7oS,oo0 and operating expenses ot $145 900. The percentage ratio oi exSsnses to earnings for the comparative periods of the two years increased from 109 to 113 per cent, approximately, the report said.
 In its announcement of the rate increas es the commission said:
 With the very substantial increases IT the express rates, shippers have a righ to demand an improved and steadily i'm proving service. On our part, while at al times ready to accord to a common car rier that relief to which it may be just ly entitled, we shall not view with com | placency anything other than a pains | taking and unremitting effort to reduc | the item of loss and damage to the low est possible figure"

 The foreign speakers declared thr their visit to the United States had dis closed to them a marked similarity be tween the task they now face and thu one confronting advocates of prohibition in America a decade ago. They ack- nowledged appreciation of the experi- ence thus gained and expressed the be- lief that their work would be sinpliied as a result.

CAUSE OF WALL STREET
 EXPLOSION REMAINS UNKNOWN

New York, Sept 24-The cause of the Wall Street explosion tonight was as unknown to the police and federal au- thorities as it wa swhen it occurred nine days ago.
 The theory that an accident-probably a collision-caused the explosion was re- ported to have been cast aside by the September grand jury. Hereafter the jur- ors will concentrate their attention on the bomb plot theory. it was said.
 In this they follow the lead of William J. Flynn. chief of the bureau of investi- gation of the department of justice, who from the start has thought the blast oi sinister cause. The police, as yet, have not announced abandonment of any of their theories.
 Police department men arrested two persons whom they thought were prot ing illegally from the public's interest 1T l the disaster. A peddler yas charged witt selling fake explosion souvenirs and g woman was charged with using partial. ly forged subscription list to raise fund. | which sho e"' were to be used for ex plosion sufferers.
 l An ofIlcis.l ... Jrt to raise funds for tn dependents of explosion victims had beer started earlier in the day by Mayor lily Ian who appointed a committee of nancia district business men to carry on tn, work
 Late this afternoon Edwin P Fischer the tennis player who sent warnings O
 the explosion, was recommitted to Belle vue hospital for further psychopath
 examination after the legal period for de taining him there had expired. He. wa
 recommitted on complaint of his sister Fischer protested.
