New Department Created to Study Food Problem and Enlarge the Order and Commission Features. Information Bureau Is Planned. CHICAGO. Aug. 30.—Officials and ufeents of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, in session to-day in Chi cago, sttruck a hard blow at the par cel post when they decided to fight the Innovation of the Government with its own weapon—low rates. It was asserted to-night by offi cials of this company that other ex press companies are contemplating taking similar action in the war against the parcel post. In future the city dweller who wants fresh butter and eggs upon his breakfast table will, according to ex press officials, do well to consult the rate column of any express company. Firms Form New Bureau. Recently the express com pan’es have Created “an order commission and food products department.” The object of this department, according to the companies,-to. “study the food problem from all viewpoints, to enlarge the order and commission feature of our business and to extend the company’s facilities to all, with out discrimination.” “The express companies have de cided to fight the parcel post with its own weapon—low rates.” said L. F. Troja, industrial agent of the Wells- Fargo Express Company, to-day. Instruct 25.000 Employees. “The 25.000 employees of our com pany along Its 90,000 miles of rail road track have been instructed to ascertain what kinds of shipments are obtainable from their offices and to have shippers apply for rates. “At the present time the express companies are willing to furnish rates on butter, eggs and cheese which will enable citizens of Chicago and other large cities to ship in these commodi - ties at a low price. “The companies are seeking to give a maximum weight for a minimum charge of 35 cent*’ per shipment, no matter what the distance. For in stance. the person who wishes to get English walnuts, prunes or other products from the Pacific Coast may now obtain them for the lowered rate. Plan to Post Farmers. "Perhaps the best way to make use, of th*> cheap express rates is to form butter ar.d egg clubs,* agreeing to take at least 30 pounds at once of these commodities from one farmer. If these clubs are formed it will be easy T for the express companies to have eggs selling in Chicago for 21 cents, which, under ordinary circumstances, would sell for 25 cents. Butter can also be purchased much cheaper by this means.” The express companies have ar ranged to inform farmers wha # farm products are needed, and where, and by this information bureau they will attempt to “beat the parcel post.” Iowa Man Starts, At 101, to Enjoy Life Joins Elks To Be Among ‘Bunch «rf Live Fellows’—Gives Health Rules.

Camera Finds ‘Sick Clerk' at Ball Game New Head of the New Haven Rail way Employs Photographers as Detectives. NEW HAVEN, Aug. 30—There is con sternation in the New Haven road’s general offices here following the dis covery of the company's gum-shoe photographer at a local ball game, where he snapped a picture of a clerk out on “leave of absence for sickness." This photographer also has been pic turing trainmen at the bar during work ing hours and as a result the carpet In the superintendent’s office is being worn by men called to explain. With the sentence of death seem ingly weighing as lightly on him as an order of his family physician to quit smoking. Leo M. Frank, his re markable imperturability still undis turbed, is going about his final fight for life in as methodical a manner as he managed affairs of the Na tional Pencil Company, of which he was superintendent. No more dramatic display of stoi cism has ever been know than that of Frank, when in less than 48 hours after he had heard Judge L. S. Roan declare that he must die on th e gal lows October 10 as the murderer of Mary Phagan, he ordered Herbert Schiff, his assistant, to come to the jail and go over the affairs of the pencil factory. It is understood that Frank has decided to direct in a general way from the jail the work ings of the company as he did before he was charged with the most noted crime in the history of the South. Frank knows that he will not hang October 10. The motion of his coun sel for new' trial will not be heard until October 4. If this is denied, the case w’ill be carried to the Supreme Court immediately. Year's Wait Almost Sure. On account of the vast amount of evidence which will have to be re viewed, and the ponderous legal points that are sure to be presented, it will be impossible for that court to hand down its decision in less than several months. It is altogether likely that it will be a year before the case is either affirmed or re versed and remanded to the low’er court. His counsel has. assured him that they are confident of a reversal. At torney Luther Z. Rosser Is now go ing over the evidence with Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey In an effort to reach an agreed statement of the points in issue in order to facilitate the work of the court and curtail the bulk of the transcript. So, realizing that his fight is not of days, hardly of months, and per haps of years, Frank has In a busi nesslike manner arranged to have his long wait in jail made as com fortable and as useful as possible. Fits Cell as an Office. He has fitted up his cell with com fortable furniture. He has an ade quate table on which to do his w’ork, both In reference to his fight for life and the affairs of the factory, and has brightened the appearance of the steel cage to make it as pleasant as possible during the daily visits of his wife and his mother. On the other hand, the prosecution is Just as vigilant to see that there is no escape for Frank. It is determined that he shall pay with his life for that which the Solicitor .so fervidly declared he took. Solicitor Dorsey, it is known. Is di recting the work of detectives, who are seeking any new evidence which might develop to strengthen th# case of the State should there possibly be a reversal. The Solicitor hardly believes it is possible that the Supreme f’ourt will send the famous case back. He be lieves that the defense will largely de pend on the applause of the specta tors as an influence on the jurors, to have the Supreme Court rule in its favor. It is said that the Solicitor will be able to prove by the jurors that they were not Influenced in the slightest by the applause: in fact, that they heard none. Friends Remain Loyal. Frank's friends have remained in tensely loyal, even after the verdict was brought in. They still maintain his absolute innocence and believe that when public feeling has had an opportunity to die down and another trial obtained, there will be as speedy a verdict clearing Frank’s name as the one by which he was branded Mary Phagan’s slayer. Attorney Reuben Arnold worn by the four weeks of trial. left Atlanta soon after the the verdict was reach ed, but the more massive and rugge . Rosser has remained on duty, pre paring the motion. Frank is proving of great assistance lo his counsel and is now at work on a reply to the speech of the Solicitor, which he will publish if his lawyer consents.

At least 32 other non-combatant American citizens shot or tor tured. Innocent American girls and young wives, who believed them selves protected by the American flag, maltreated before the eyes of their helpless fathers and husbands. Millions of dollars in ransom exacted from American citizens tortured or threatened with death. * Property valued at more than $150,000,000, owned by Amer ican citizens, destroyed. This, in part, is the terrible story of anarchy and murder in progress in Mexico. In no section of Mexico is the situation im proved. It is steadily growing worse after eighteen months of an archy that has followed the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz. On July 24 Mrs. Paul Hudson, wife of the owner of the Mexi can Herald, stated that when she left Mexico City the list of Amer ican dead for 1913, on file at the American Embassy, numbered 86. Since then many others haVe been murdered. LIST OF THE VICTIMS IS REFUSED. The Sunday American has requested the Department of State in this city, and the American Embassy in Mexico City for this list. It was refused. The Wilson-Bryan policy of delay and non-interference in Mexico on the ground that all, or nearly all, outrages are due to overt acts of the Americans involved, does not find sympathy in any quarter here. In the belief of Senators and Rep*esenfatives the situation has reached a crisis where something must be done. Men hack from Mexico assert that the list at the embassy is merely fragmentary. It tells only in small part the terrible story of murder, rapine and destruction enacted against Americans. Here is a partial list of the murders and other outrages com piled by The American from censored press dispatches. The com plete list can not be given for the sole reason that it is withheld from the public by an order from the White. House.
