RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS' COM-
MITTEE ASSERTS I .INKS KASILY
COULD TAKE OVKR SERVICE
WASHINGTON, 1 >. C., Oct. 10.—That
the, railways of the. country take over th<>
express companies' business virtually
was recommended today to the twenty-
third annual convention of the National
Association of Railroad Commissioners
in session hero, by the committee on ex-
press rates and express* service. There
was prolonged discussion of tho commit •
tee's report, which was the only business
before the convention today. Considera-
tion of the report will continue tomorrow.
"Tho express and railway companies/'
the report said, ''are engaged in perform-
ing a transportstion service that one
company could perform just as effective-
ly, if not more so. Tho fact is the rail-
way probably could assume the hand-
ling of both the heavier commodities and
the lighter packages at a lower cost to
the public and with greater satisfaction
than the express companies Their pres-
ent organization is nearly complete
•nough for this."
OBJECTION TO REPORT.
Objection to the adoption of the report
was made because of tho opinion ex-
pressed therein, that the so-called postal
or ounce rates of express companies are
discriminatory and should either be elim-
inated or raised, other traffic, it. was
asserted, had to bear the loss of the
ounce rate matter.
U. 11. Hudson Burr of Florida, presi-
dent of the association, in his annual ad-
dress, said tho Interstate Commerce
Commission should have enlarged powers
"with ample authority to require the
most exacting supervision over the man-
ufacture of products entering into the
equipment of railroads."
• P is appalling," he added, "to note the
gieat number of accidents which occur and
which are attributed to defective equipment
or defective rails."
Kl/N AS DEPARTMENT.
Mr. Hurr expressed his belief "the ex-
press business nf the country should be
conducted as a department of the railroad
business."
Stale railroad commissions, he asserted,
were a necessity "because the ordinary
courts <»f the land cannot perforin such
administrative duties as are necessary for
I he proper regulation of transportation
problems."
Some railway regulation laws may ap-
pear radical, not only superficially so,
< halrman Clements of the Interstate Com-
merce Commission said in welcoming the
convention to Washington.
"Charges which have been made that
laws for railway regulations were unAmer-
lcan and undemocratic are false." he said,
"for no new principles of law are involved
in them. They are all based on the old
English law of principles of fairness, Jus-
tice and equality. It is a mistake to say
the less legislation we have the better.
Practical conditions are such that much
legislation is necessary. 4>f course, If
everybody did what was right, the ten
commandments would he sufficient law, but
the complicated and everchauging condi-
tions of life require complicated and ever-
changing laws to meet these conditions.
"That is the true progressivism which
adds to and changes the laws and the In-
terpretation thereof to suit the change*
which take place around us."

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 10.—
The sensation of the day in the trial
of Abner Davis, former president of l he
Night and Day Bank of this cit.v, was
sprung today by F. H. Meyer, former
cashier of tho bank and codefendant
with Davis on the charge of making a
false report to the State Banking Board,
who yesterday changed his plea from
not guilty to guilty and today testified
for the State.
He told on tho stand that Davis had
asked him to prepare three packages of
notes, assets of the. bank, one for ?20,0G0
and two of $10,000 apiece. He said he
was instructed by Davis to address them
to the Night and Day Hank of St. Louis,
Mo., and the Night and Day Banks of
Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City,
Mo., respectively. Myers says he then
gave the three envelopes to Davis on
November 8, 1910, and under Davis, in-
structions credits were entered on the
books of tho bank for the amounts of
the notes. A report was called by the
State examiner November 4, and. it is
charged, the $40,000 credits entered
against the notes were included in the
report. A few days later, says Meyers,
Davis returned the three envelopes with
the notes to hint, none, of the envelopes
showing any evidence of having ever
been sent through the mails.
The testimony of Meyers supplement-
ed that given by State Bank examiner
M. N. Gardner, who testified as to the
credit entries made on November .S; A.
L. Meilrath. assistant, cashier of the
Night and Day Rank of St. Louis, Mo.,
and of K. <1. Wolf, cashier of the Night j
and Day Hank of Kansas City, Kan.,
both of whom testified that no such
transaction as the deposits of tlie notes |
referred to by Meyers in his testimony
ever were recorded on the books of their j
respective banks.
