FLORENCE CONWAY DIES IN LOCK HAVEN WASHINGTON, D. C., Juno 14. War on the express companies began in earnest today before the House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, which opened hearings for the parcels post for which several measures are pending. Representative Lewis, Democrat, of Maryland, appeared in support of his bill, which provides for the condemning and purchasing of all express companies. He assorted that the cost of living was largely influenced by the unsatisfactory methods of quick transportation. "There are two main reasons why the express companies must be added to the postal system," said Lewis. "First, express company service does not reach beyond railroad to farmers, which the postoflice service does. Seond, contracts with express companies are higher than would be the rate if parcels post was introduced."
