(From ft Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., April 27. (Special.) Application for an increase in tx press rates in Nebraska, of approxi mately 38 per cent has been filed with the Nebraska Railway commission on behalf of the American, Adams ind Wells-Fargo Express companies. The formal filing of the application followed a conference between repre sentatives ot express companies and the commission several months ago, at which time the former were re quired to make special compilation of figures for the information of the commission, as to earnings and ex penses. i he companies ask that they be al lowed to operate under interstate commerce commission rules and reg ulations. which they say forty-tw states have adopted. They say that the Nebraska rate is non-remunerative and discriminatory as against inter state commerce commission rates. Rate Expert U. G. Powell says that the interstate commerce commission rates are on a block basis, with tar iffs fixed by blocks and not by dis- tance. He says that the basis will not apply in as small a unit as the state, where a distance tariff is a just one. The Nebraska legislature passed the Mhley act in 1W, which made general arbitrary reduction of intra state express rates in Nebraska of 25 per cent. Youth Killed Under Disc. Ashland, Neb., Arlril 27.
