"An even more telling proof thatj

possessed no radium she presented a
gram of the substance to Madame

BELIEVE EXPRESS j

. ? \ !
Columbia, June 2.?The two ex-;
press companies are, it is believed,!
making sou effort to "get together" j
on the question of express routings j
and on the request of the American ;
Railway Express Co,, the South'
Qaro-lina railroad commission has'
continued to a future date, yet to
be anncxmccd,thc hearing which wasj
s?hedu3ed four Juije 1* ' -' ** ?
' , Pending the hearing the railroad j
commission's order remains in effect;
which requires that the two cota-j
pdniea handle freight over the short-j
Alt routing between two points serv- j
fed entirely or in part by; the two,
companies, evwn tfeoUgh this means j
*!li o1 freight. J
American Company recently |
Requested the railroad ofommission i
to rescind its order and asked the
hearing which was called for June 1.
Now, however, the same company
requests postponement, and it is said
the two companes will likely reach!
some agreement. The Southeastern]
company has favored the commis-|
sion's order all the time. This speci-,
fies, in addition to the through;
routing, that the lowest rate be-'
tween two points be charged at all;
times.

COMPLAINT IS MADE
BY SOUTHEASTERN
EXPRESS COMPANY
Charges That American Refuses to
Join With It in Establishing
Joint Rates
Washington, June 2.?The Southeastern
Express Company complained
to the Interstate Commerce Com-'
mission today that ?the American
Railway Express Company, refuses
to join with the complaining company
in handling express between
points in the Southeast and terrl-J
tories north of the Ohio and Foto-,
mac rivers or west of the Mississippi'
river or south of Jacksonville, Fla. |
The Southeastern Company serves
the "Southern Railway and nineteen!
other southeastern roads and de-j
dared in its compaiint that because,
of the refusal of the American Ex- j
press Company to establish joint j
rates with it, where the American
has its own service, "has the effects
of denying to the public the use of!
well established routes which arej
superior in efficiency and in point j
of time and service" to the routes
over which the American is now
handling the traffic. The complaintant
also declared that the restrictions
have the effect of closing the
U9e of tis own routes between Cincinnati
and Louisville and points
south, between Washington and
points feouth between St. Louis and
points south and east between Memphis
and points east, between- New
Oceans and points north and between
Jacksonville and points north.
