Call for Conference on Quarantine
and Immigration Issued.
Chattanooga, Term.. Sept. 16.-A formal call for
a conference of Southern representative men. to be
held In this city in November, was issued to-day.
It is signed by twelve Governors and the officials
of the Chambers of Commerce of several cities.
The call, after reciting the prosperity and business
growth of the South and its prospects, says:
In the attempt that has been made by various
cities, towns and communities in the South to pro
tect ihemselves from the dread ravages of yellow
fever the most Strenuous, and at times the most
unreasonable, unnecessary and burdensome meas
ures, have been adopted-measures tr-at not only
tended to cripple and destroy busing * ndcom
merce. but which reflected on the very instincts of
our common humanity and became a reproach to
civilization Itself. It is evident, therefore, that
some uniform system of quaiantme should b«
adopted that will allay the apprehensions of the
people and minimize the dangers resulting from an
outbreak of this disease. This Is necessary if we
would save our land from the demoralizing and
brutalizing tendencies of a panic inspired quaran-
Ajrain there are coming Into the United States
at the present time a larger number of foreign im
migrants than ever was known in our country s
history. Among: these are great masses who are
wholly undesirable, and whom It will be impossible
to assimilate with our institutions. There Is ap
parently a desire or tendency to bring many of
these undesirable Immigrants to Southern ports,
and also to distribute them from Northern centres
Into the South.
The South will welcome desirable immigrants
from all lands, but It has already racial problem*
of such gravity that no others should be invited
until proper safeguards are provided in advance or
their coming. .. .
For the foregoing reasons, therefore, the under
signed hereby issue this call for a Southern confer
ence on immigration and quarantine, to be held in
the city of Chattanooga, Term., on November 9 and
10 1905 and we designate the following persons as
expected to compose and participate In this con
ference: . ,
Governors of the Southern States, members or
Congress. Commissioners of Agriculture, Mayors
of cltieß. ona representative from each railroad
6vstem preferably the general immigration agents,
the editors publishers or proprietor? of newspa
t>er« and not more than five representatives from
each commercial organization In the South.
The Governors signing the call are: John I. Cox,
of Tennessee; N. C. Blanchard, of Louisiana; Ed
win Waxfield. of Maryland: William M. O. Dawson,
of West Virginia; J. A- Montague, of Virginia; N.
B Brtward. of Florida; James K. Vardaman. o2

NEW- YORK DATLY TRXBU&E. BUXWAT. SEPTEMBER 17. 1005.
NO LOAN FROM SHERRICK.
Gov. Hanly Says He Never Bor
rowed from Indiana's ex- Auditor.
Indianapolis, Sept. 15.— There probably will bo
come question as to the application of the se
curities held by David E Sherrick. ex-Auditor of
State, now in the hands of Attorney General
Charles "SV. Miller, representing the State. The
tentative position of the officials representing the
American Surety Company Is that the State Is
protected only to the extent of tho $100,000 bond
and that, inasmuch as the surety company has
to pay that bond, it is therefore entitled to all of
the securities and property in Sherrick's bands.
In reference to the report that Governor Hanly
borrowed $750 from Sherrick during the last cam
paign, the Governor said:
It is not truo that Mr. Sheirick ever loanefl me a
dollar of money for any purpose. .
The week prior to the State convention In Apri.,
1904, Mr. Sherrick came into my rooms at the Eng
lish. Hotel and said that a number of candlua.es
were making arrangements to use money to se
cure a favorable delegation for tiu>m in Marion
County, and said that 1 ougnt to contribute. I said
to him that I had no money for such purpose*.
that I was trying to secure a delegation In Marlon
County as against Mr. Taylor. He said in answer
that he thought 1 ouylit to do so, und that if I dm
not have tho funds he did. I said in reply:
"If you have, 1 will not ask you to use it, nor
will I" permit you to do so."
From that hour to this Mr. Sherrick never men
tioned that subject to me. -•«•«,
After receiving my letter demanding ?, vi ' rl ' t n
statement of the condition of affairs in his ornce,
dated August U, John B. Reea came into the
executive office and said to me, Mr- SnerrlcK
claimed to have expended $750 for my ueneflt prior
to the State convention. I answered him tnat i
was surprised to hear of such a thing, that it waa
strange that Mr. Sherrick had never mentioned
It to me ln the fifteen months that Intervened.
I wrote a check payable to John b. Reed, in the
sum of $810. on the Fanners and Traders Bank, oi
Lafayette, Ir.d.. the sum being, as Mr. Reod said,
principal ana interest from the day Mr. Sherrick
claimed to have expended this money. I nanaea
the check to Mr. Reed.
I said to him: •'! am going to Warren County for
a few days. Hold this check until I come back, and
then cash it." I returned to the office on Thurs
day morning. Mr. Reed came in with the check in
his hand. He had other checks, which he desired
to cash with the one which he had held, and which
I had given him, to hold the money and to turn
it over to me along with other securities of Mr.
Sherrick's in the event of Mr. Sherrick s reslgna-
If'Mr Sherrick used th! 3 money, or any part ot
it, he used It without authority from me and with
out my knowledge, and wit.ioat ever mentioning
it to me after its use. It is not true that I have
sought to conceal this fact.
CARLTONS "WIFE" COMING
Mrs. E. J. Martinez Will Appear

AFTER CHICAGO VOTERS.
Carelessness of Clerks Involves
Many Naturalizations.
Chicago, Sept. 16.— Steps looking toward a whole
sale disenfranchisement of voters of Chicago were
taken to-day by United States District Attorney
Morrison. Non-compliance with the law on the
part of clerks and jndges of the Circuit and Su
perior courts who passed on the eligibility of can
didates for citizenship Is alleged. The federal
prosecutor instructed Assistant District Attorney
Marston to act in th« cases of 166 persons ad
mitted to citizenship without inquiry as to their
sentiment on the subject of anarchy, as required
by a law passed after the assassination of Presi
dent McKinley. It la asserted that Chicago Judges
took no cognizance of the law for threo months
after lta passage.
Coincident with the action by the federal au
thorities four indlftmenta were returned by the
Cook County Grand Jury as a result of an investi
gation by State's Attorney Haaly into naturaliza
tion frauds by minor politicians for personal gain.
Perjury was charged in each case.

[By Teletrraoh to The Tribune.]
"Winsted, Conn., Sept. 16.— A total of eleven deaths,
■with a possibility of the death roll reaching fifteen,
as four of the injured are not expected to recover,
is to-day's chapter in Avon's disaster wrouprht by
an explosion and flre at the plant of the Climax
Fuse Company In the little town early yesterday
afternoon. Charles Dlmock and Miss Nora Ryan
died in the night from burns and inhaling smoke
and flame, and Mrs. William Burke and Miss Dma
Legeyt succumbed to-day from tho same causes.
The condition of Michael McCarthy, Arthur Tuller,
Michael Canfield and Miss Margaret Conners is

the bodies of the seven employes, James Wallace,
James Joyce. Mrs. MeTuckcr. John Sullivan, Rich
ard McCarthy, Miss MoWo McCarthy and Miss
Julia Sullivan, had been taken out of the debrl3
charred beyond recognition. The victims will bo
buried to-morrow. The oniy witness of the scenes
immediately attending the disaster wa« Dr. K. W.
Kellogg oi Hartford, who has a summer home
nearly opposite the factory He was out on tho
lawn when the. explosion occurred.
"I louked toward the factory, and In a twinkling
Fheels of fire seemed to sweep through tho bulld-
Ing and the smoke arose in clouds to the s«y," li"
sa ii 'Then came a ma«i rush of men ;ir,<l
in an effort to escape. Ail had their bands lifted
above them, snd their looks were terrible. Some
jumped from the windows, ai d some were trampled
under foot. They were horribly burned. It waa a
sickening sight. Thoy saw me and made for me In
a body. They pleaded with me to attend to their
Injuries, one woman fainted. I hastily applied
soothing ointments to the injuries of ten or a
dozen, and by thin time other physicians were reaciy
to aid in the work."
As far hs can be leanuil -,'A present thf-re will bo
no formal Inquiry into the disaster. The cause 01
the explosion is known, and the flre which fol
lowed is considered to have been a Bomewhat nat
ural consequence, owing to the character of the
material used in this part of the factory.

NEW-ORLEANS JOYFUL
President Roosevelt Opens Diamond
Festival by Wire.
fßy Telarranh to The Tribune. 1
New-Orleans, Sept. 16. — The people of New-
Orleans to-day united in a great celebration of
the fact that the yellow fever epidemic Is abso
lutely under control. There were parades all
over the city and a big entertainment at the
Fair Grounds.
Tha merrymaking ia to go out to the world
as evidence of the stoutness of heart and
the courage of the peopl.o of New-Orleans and
their abiding faith in the ability of those in the
fight against the present visitation to conquer;
thelra Is an abiding faith in the future of tho
metropolis of the South.
Crowds thronged tho streets everywhere along
the line of. the monster parade and cheered the
paraders. The city is in gayest holiday attire.
The business establishments have been closed
since noon, and their employes have joined the
merry throng to enjoy the pleasures of the day.
Nowhere is there to be found a face in tho
streets which bears any but the happiest, most
hopeful expression, and every one's spirits are
at the highest point. Already, though it is only
just actually begun, the Diamond Festival is an
unqualified success.
The situation in the city shows comparatively
little change, although the number of new foci
A multitude gathered at Athletic Park, wher*
the festival was held. The feature there was
the singing of patriotic songs by Miss Blanch
ard and eight hundred school children. The
festival was formally opened with a telegram to
Mayor Behrman from President Roosevelt,
which was received with universal enthusiasm.
The telegram said:
I hereby open the Diamond Festival for the
benefit of the yellow fever fund. I give utter
ance to the sentiment of all the people of the
United States when I express my earnest prayer
for the success of the people of New-Orleans
and all Louisiana, not only in this, but in all
other efforts they are making wjth such high
and generous courage to fight the plague from
which they are suffering. The federal authori
ties will do all that in their power lies to help
in these efforts.
VICKSBURG IN NEED OF AID.
Negroes Unable to Leave Stricken Town or
to Obtain "Work.
At Vicksburg an appeal for aid for colored peopl*
who are unable to get work because of the quar
antine and the fever there has been made public.
The appeal says:
Vicksburg, with twenty-two thousand people,
about twelve thousand of whom are colored. Is
locked up In a quarantine. Large numbers of her
colored population are engaged in domestic service
and a still larger number depend for a livelihood
upon work on farms in the vicinity of this city.
For fifteen days this city has been and for the
next forty days certainly will be surrounded by
quarantine guards, who allow no one to pass out.
The only way to get out of the city now is on a
through train with a ticket as far north as Chi
cago. The attempt to stop at any Mississippi point
would, ln many instances, mean death.
Largo numbers of peopla who employ servants
left some time a,go. Many of the enterpriser
have had to shut down on account of the fact that
the people who are engaged in running them have
left the city. The cotton fields In which these
laborers usually make their living in thn fall and
winter are waiting for them, but it Is doath to at
tempt to get out to them. A very serious situation
confront« more than one-half of the laboring
classes ln the city and its environments. Lccal
effort has been largely taxed ln employing them to
clean up, oil and fumigate, and little or nothing
can be expected except from abroad. The cotton,
upon which all life depends, cannot be harvested
or brought to market, and thus one calamity has
brought another.
Your contributions can be sent to H. L. Slaugh
ter, who is the treasurer of the committee. Mr.
Slaughter Is caehler of the L/lncoln Savings' Bank,
the oldest establishment of its kind south of tho
Ohio River.
MORE FEVER CASES AT CINCINNATI.

to the hospital to-day, having developed symptoms
of the disease. The new canes are those of G. A.
Heatb, his wife and two children. The five cases
pent to the hospital yesterday were reported to

LIES, SAYS MRS. MADDEN.
Wife Accused Horseman of Fraud
and Giving False Testimony.
[By Telesrach to The Tribune]
Cincinnati, Sept. 16.— Charges of fraud and mak
ing oath to false statements were, made to-day by
Mrs. Anna Louise Mad Jen and her attorneys in a
plea for an injunction, filed witu Judge J. B. Swlnjf,
to prevent John E. Madde.i. the turfman, from pro
ceeding with his divorce and Injunction against
Mrs. Madden. Mrs. Madrlen's Injunction plea, made
by Attorneys William L. Dickson and John C.
Htaly, was sprung as a surprise, and caused Buch
a fierce legal battle that the entire session was
taken up, und there was no time left for testimony.
Mrs. Madden charged that Maddens Kentucky
divorce and Injunction suit was filed for the fraud
ulent purpose of embarrassing her suit in Cincinnati
for alimony and custody of the children, and ren
dering abortive and valueless any Judgment ny
Judge Swing. The charge was made that Madden
purposed fraudulently to obtain a divorce by falSo
testimony, and wilfully made oath to false and
fraudulent statements.
Ex-Senator Lindsay, for Mr. Madden, denounced
the Injunction plea as a grand stand play to bring
Into the Cincinnati case issues that had been in It
all the time. Dickson and Healy declared that
Maddens attorneys intend to take default judgment
next week for divorce, and thereby hamper Mrs.
Maddens case.
At the end of the arguments Juds© Swin^ took
the matter under advisement. The understanding
wns arrived at, however, that whatever the result
of the hearing in Lexington, the status of lho all
mony suit here would not: be chanted.

SUIT IN ARCANUM FIGHT.
Brooklyn Members Will Seek to
Have Council Enjoined.
At a meeting held last night by the joint com
mittee of the Brooklyn and Long Island councils
of the Royal Arcanum, in the Johnston Building.
Brooklyn, the most radical measures to block the
collection of the new rates were advanced. The
dissolving of the order and the formation of a new
cne wero advocated freely.
Speaker after speaker .said that the action of the
Supremo Council was arbitrary and tyrannical, and
predicted that, if persisted in. it would either dis
rupt the order or drive it Into the hands of a re
ceiver. It was finally decided to pay the rlrst as
sessment under the new rat"- 1 which is due on
September 30, but to have each member file a.
written protest with his payment.
Resolutions were passed condemning the stand
of the Supreme Council, and calling for legislative
action to dethrone that body.
This week action will be taken to obtain an In
junction in the- Brooklyn courts to force the Su
premo Council to show cause why it should not
revoke the new ratta. John T. Qulntard. past re
gent of De Witt Clinton Council, the largest in the
order in Brooklyn, and a well known lawyer, de
clared that, if none of the councils would act, ho
would make personal application for the Injunction.

The Financial World.
Security market net changes for the w*«k are

Yet bearish persistence creates a pyramided

like Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific of th«
railroads, and In Smelters and Steel among the
Industrials, this short Interest i* conspicuous.
Ever since the first of July •■■: ■ nave had lurid
prophecies of money market troubles — the
net result (save on one solitary flay) Is 3 per

the pessimists sorely. They were sure that sur

died into th» limbo of the lost arts. Moreover—
while throughout the world gold 19 coming out
of the earth unprocedentediy — this country Is in
the unique position of bell the pre-eminent ag
ricultural producer with a surplus to sell
against reduced crops among ail competitor!
and what our ready- for- I surplus is
no calculator can approximate. It is against thU
prickly record, crudely and but Baggestivtty
stated, that the arrogance of Wall Street pes

Each week brings confirmation of the telllnc

adds some stock to the new dividend list or ad
vances some other to a figure still higher.
As forecast in this review weeks ago. when its
stock was selling 25 points below wher* it Is
now. the American Smelting Company advances
its common share dividend to 7 per cent.— and
accompanies the action by an official exhibit
crammed with details that are inspiring. Earn

last year. Vast expansion this; but considerci
on a percentage basis — conservative mer
chants of the type of Daniel Guggenheim <--!
culatemost impressive is the phenomenal con
version of this tremendous gross gain into still
better net result— for while gross earnings In
crease »0 per cent., the net earnings balance in
creases over 110 per cent. It is difficult to com
prehend revolution like this, so exceptional is it
in every way.
Bear in mind, moreover, this potential fact:
The extraordinary results recorded in the offi
cial report tell only of conditions up to a data
nearly half a year apo-a date when exceptional

The large maker of money in the security
