By J. B. HOcKADAY, PRESIDENT SOUTHEASTERN
 EXPRESS co

The principles of the Southeastern Express Company are expressed in the following language: Open routes open rates from point to point, com petitive service. operation of through cars in the avoidance of transfer en route. and recognition of shippers
 So far as the public is concerned, the conduct of the express business by the several express companies should be the same as if one express company had handled the traffic
 The system of express rates hereto fore observed by all express com panies was originally prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion Under this system of rates the eleven or more express companies then in existence were treated as a unit and the rates applied from point to point, either locally over a single line of one express company or jointly over the lines of two or more express com panies. via all available routes.
 All of the express companies were ordered and required to establish jointly and publish the through rates as prescribed. applicable between all points reached by the lnes-o of the several companies. This system of rates, promulgated in the public in- terest. remained in effect from Feb. l, 1914, the date upon which it was ordered established. to May 1. 1921, when the Southeastern Express Com pany commenced operations over the Southern Railway system. lines.
 Continues National System.
 The Southeastern was willing and anxious to continue this uniform and national system of rates in full force and effect just as the Intersta Com merce Commission intended it should be applied and promptly filed its general concurrence to make this uniform system effective over it's lines. Thereupon the American Rail- way Express Company refused to give effect to the general concur renee of the Southeastern Express Company and over the protest of the latterS company undertook to re- strict the application of the rates so as to limit the application of all tariffs by certain restrictive provi- sions and thereby deny to the South eastern participation in any Joint rates or routes between points where

Statement of Principles [H!E [AFl u,atnaf (From the Constitution Nov. 21 1s21
n Nov. 21, 1921)

the American Company had Its own service.
 By these restrictions the American Company cancelled our joint rates be- tween all common points and be- tween common or competitive points and exclusive offices of either com pany so as to compel the traffic to be moved over single line routes. al- though many of the joint routes thus closed were imperAtively necessary in the public interest and were superior in point of time and service for tho single line routes left open. By this action the American Company sought to deny and did deny to the public the benefit of through routes between important points in the United States which followed main lines of travel. were the most direct in point of time and in connection with which supe- rior passenger train schedules were and are operated. Many of these routes which were closed by the ar bitrary action of the American Com pany were extensively used by that company prior to May l, 1921, and had been so used because these routes furnished to the public the quickest and best service possible.
 The American Company insisted upon and still persists in this atti- tude and denied and continues to deny to the Southeastern any partici- patton in joint rates or the joint handling of traffic between any points reached by the American Com pany. even though well-es tablished routes which follow main lines of travel and are the most direct in point of time are thereby closed, and in lieu thereof only indirect and in- ferior routes are provided over the lines of the American Company.
 Declines to Handle Traffic.
 Even where joint rates were pub lished. without restriction. from ex- elusive offices of one company to exclusive offices of the other. the American Company has declined to handle the traffic under these rates by transfer points which would give the public the quickest and best serv- ice. and has insisted upon holding on to the traffic SO as to give to it the longest possible haul without re- gard to resultant delays and serious inconvenience and loss to which ship per. and consisnees were thereby l subjected.

The Southeastern Express Company long haul wherever it was in the public interest to do so. It has been and is willing to keep open all avail able routes so as to afford the public a maximum of competitive service and to allow the public to route its traffic so as to secure the service and handling which shippers and consignees desire. It has not feared and does not fear the freest compe- tition under rates made applicable via all routes. and has been and is willing for the public to determine and direct which service it desires. The American Company has adopted exactly the opposite policy. and not only denies to shippers and con- signees the right to route their traf- fife. but has endeavored to so re- strict the application of the rates as to close all joint. routes with the Southeastern and force shippers and consignees to use the service of the American Company. even though they may desire the joint handling of the traffic over joint routes which are more expeditions than the sim gle-line route of either company.
 The American Company has gone so far. in it's effort to compel the public to accept and use its service, as to refuse to receive from the Southeastern traffic at direct points of transfer. The American Company has likewise repeatedly declined to accept traffic from shippers with routing instructions requiring joint handling by the Southeastern and where it has accepted traffic undsr routing instructions the American Company has persistentIy declined to pay any attention whatever to ship pers' routing and has Instructed its representatives, to disregard the same.
 The Southeastern is most anxious to afford shippers and consignsss the best possible service. and to this end 1t has sought to continue in ef- feet the system of rates devised by the federal commission and adootsd by nearly aii of the State commis- sions under which shippers arc given a free choice of routes. are per- 'mitted to designate the routing of their traffic and are assured the benefits to be derived from eompsti- tive service undsr uniform and open rates.

Nolan Patent Bill
 Develops @Joker'

Washington, Jan. 3.-An alleged "joRer'' in the Nolan Patent bill is causing members of the House much concern.
 Starting out as simple measure to increase salaries of officials and en- ployes of the Patent Of11ce the bill took on an amendment in the Senate in the closing hours of the last SeS- sion which would give the Cornrnis- sioner of Patents, it Is claimed. the powers of a Car. Haste in action on this bill is now being urged on Con- gress.
 Under the language of the amend
 nsert. it is charged. the Confnais- sfoner is left practically free to deter mine who shall or shall not prosecute, claims before the Patent Office, and to censor without restriction the bus mess methods of those engaged in this work.
 In charging the powers Of the Commissioner the Secretary Of the Interior seems to be deprived of his
 powers of supervision over the Com missioner of Patents. who. by law is under the control of the Secretary, and the Commissioner is made an autocrat.
 Those opposing this change in the
 law say that the Commissioner of Patents, often a patent attorney or l seeking to become one. should be Fe- stricted in his powers. and that on | the principle that every man under charges should have his day in court

 At the conclusion of her address questions were solicited from the au- dfence Some of the queries pro pounded were:

 Miss MacSwiney denied that the question of Irish freedom was q do- .Smestic affair of Great Britain. and asserted: ''It is no more than the revolution of 177S was a domestic affair of Great Britain, not even as much, because the American colonaes ireSAlly had owed allegiance to Grea' Britain.

F Instead of making the Commissioner the final arbiter there should be Q board of appeals or review over him.
 The Patent Office is one of the few money making bureaus of the gov ernment. This is due to the encour- agement given inventors Of the coun- try to apply for and secure patents on their inventions. This has been prof table to the government and of incalculable value to the country. as evidenced by the vast number of sue cessfu1 inventions made and patented. The people generally. as a rule. de- rive benefit from an invention.

WIFE OF KING
 HELPS TO LAST

Athens Jan. - The devotion shown by Mime. Aspasia Manos, wife of the late King Alexander of Greece, to him during his fatal illness result created SO profound an Impression upon the Greeks that even those who heretofore had spared no effort to separate her from the King, have to- day nothing but good to say about her.
 For four weeks during which the King fought for life against blood poison, his wife obtained no rest ex- cept when exhaustion compelled her she underwent was all the more try ing because of her own state of health, since she is to become a mother.
 Heretofore King A1exander's mar rsage had not been considered in some government quarters to be valid because it had been solemnfzed se- cretly and without the fulfillment of 1 certain formalities. Since the death of the King, the government has been so | moved by the devotion of his widow that it was discovered a law by virtue of which Mme. Manos is recognized as having been the Kings legal wife. | This was regarded here as eXclud- 1 ing the possibility of raising difficult | ties in connection with her inherit ance of the late Kings personal es- l tate. It is also understood that the government VIII Fay a Dill DSfOrG the

 l All this has made her an interest ! ing figure in the tragedy enacted at I the Tatoi Chateau where the King
 and his wife led the happiest of lives
 until the terrible mishap cut short
 the life of the monarch. Their TO-
 nance has been one of the most fas-
 cinating stories of royal life in Eur
 ope for years.
 Aspasia Manos belonged to the l Greek Phamariote aristocracy. but
 was not of royal blood. She was a
 beautiful girl and the young Prince 1 fell In love with her. When King Constantine abdicated and Alexander was called to the throne, he laid fdown as g. condition of acceptance
 that he should be allowed to marry the girl to whom he had pledged his word.
 l The government appeared to respect the Princes sentiments but has beer charged with having endeavored by every means to bring about a rupture between the two and even went tc the extent of expe11fng her from
 Greece after the King had secret1, married her.
 King Alexander, however, not only brought his bride back to Greece
