tion law. Mr. Green submitted a number
of letters from agents of the various com

minds whether the S per cent reduction
provided for by tha law applied to the
weight of tha package, upon which rates
are based or to the charge for tha ship
ment, baaed on the amount paid. This, ac
cording to the letters read to the court, ap
peared to be a very serious problem In the
mind of the agenta of tha express compan
ies as well as to the superintendent and to
the attorneys.
Attorney Genera Thompson said In their
petitions filed In the Injunction cases. It
had been contended . that tha revenues
would be reduced and every argument
against the Injunction had been based on
the assumption that the 25 per cent reduc
tion referred to that reduction being made
In the charges of the company. The legis
lature, Mr. Thompson said, used the terms
rates and charges as being tha same.
The taking of testimony n the express
caoea. Judge Sullivan referee, will begin
about May 11 In New Tork City, This waa
decided at a conference of tha legal de
partment of tha state and Charles J.

th village board of Chapman asking that
he be granted a licence to operate a saloon.
The petition was filed Friday, and has the.
required number of signers. The dlficulty
In Chapman has not been to elect a license
board, as the sentiment there seems to al
ways be in favor of a wet town. Th chief
obstacle encountered ha been to secure
the required number of signers, the town
being so small that It la extremely dif
ficult to secure the number of resident free
holder signers required under th law. Thi
difficulty was encountered last year, the
village board granting the license but an
appeal to the district court by the remon
strators was submitted and hence the
town waa dry thia year. If Chapman se
cures a aaioon this year t will probably be
the only wet town In Merrick county, as
central City went dry as usual. Clarks.
which has had saloons for over ten years,
has gone dry and ther Is every probabiiltv
that th saloon men will be unsuccessful
in Silver Creek.
