CHICAGO. Aug. 30.—Officials and
agents of the Wells-Fargo Express
Company, in session to-day in Chi
cago, struck 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.
Tn 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 companies
have created “an order commission
and food products department.” The
object of this department, according
to the companies, is 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 rate?,” 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 rate*.
“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 j
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 the 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
for the express oompanhs 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.”

Women are early birds when it j

Their Influence keeps perfect order j
around the polls.
Suffrage has come J o stay not only
in California, but all over the United
States.
In two years women will vote in
every State in the Union.
There is no reason why one-half the
ability and integrity of the country
should be deprived of the vote.

holds it while father votes.

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 bail 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- I
turbed, is going about his final fight j
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 will 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 arp 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 lower
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 work,
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 the case
of the State should there possibly be
a reversal. #
The Solicitor hardly believes it i.-»
possible that the Supreme Court will
send the famous case hack. He be
lieves that the defense w ill largely de
pend on the applau.se 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.
FTank’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, pr»
paring the motion.
Frank is proving of great assistant’ •
lo his counsel and is now at work or.
a reply to the speech of the Solicitor,
which he will publish if his lawye-
consents.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—More than 100 non-combatant
Amorican citizens slain by Federals, rebels and bandits.
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.
he the belief of Senators and Representatives the situation has
reached a crisis where something must be done.
Men back from Mexieo 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 he given for the sole reason that it is withheld
