?borlsln?: General Powell Clayton, of
Arkaneua. who acted us chairman, to
tmrne a committee of five to devise the
method and provldo the sinews to ttnht
any movement made to curtail the
bouthern delegations. At the confer?
ence, albo. Ii. C. Duncan, the member
from North Carolina, was Indorsed lor
bicmbersh/p on tho executive commit?
tee. After this formal business had
been transacted several members madt
Impassioned speeches advocating op?
position to preferment for any posi?
tion of power of n man who had been
& member of a State delegation that
bad voted solidly in the convention of
1908 to reduce the representation of
the Southern States. It was recog?
nized that Qolom-l New was meant bv
tula characterization, although after
the meeting several members blandly
reported that News name had not been
mentioned at tho conference, which
probably was true.
A'o Vote I? Taken.
No vote was mi;en in tho Southern
(conference, but soon ? after adjourn?
ment It began to be whispered about
that Colonel New would bo opposed by
6large number of cornmitteemen who
ad hitherto been counted for any man
favored ri the White riousc. ,?
Following tjio announcement of op?
position to Colonel New among the
(Southern membership of the committee
several members openly advocated the
tetentlon by VIce-Chalrman John F.
Hill, of Maine, who will be elected to?
morrow as successor of former Chair?
man Hitchcock for ilu-' honor of direct?
ing the convention arrangements. It
was reported that Mr. Hitchcock was
a party to this plan, and It was openly
Stated by several Southern' members
that Mr. Hitchcock was In sympathy
with the Qtftion that had been taken
by them.
On every side Mr Hitchcock's name
Was coupled with the anti-New move?
ment, und it was probably because of
the fact that the Postmaster-General
Issued his statement.
Several of the conferences were at?
tended by Mr. Hitchcock, and at one,
held nt the White House, both tho
I'ostmastcr-Ueneral and the secretary
to the President were present Among
others who participated In the confer?
ence were Vico-Chnlrman Hill. Senators
Crane, of Massachusetts, and Pcnroso,
Of Pennsylvania; Secretary Nagel, Ar?
thur I. Vorys, of Ohio, and Secretary
Hay ward. Some members of the com?
mittee hoped that the White House
conference would result In an agree?
ment for the secret selection of Mr.
Hill as chairman of the committee
on arrangements und to make Mr. New
n member of the committee, but this
hope was not realized.
Commit tec to See Tnft.
Conslderoble 111 feeling was mani?
fested late In tho afternoon, and the !
executive committee of the national
committee met to consider the eltuu
tlon. .After much parleying the execu?
tive committee adopted n resolution'
presented by former Governor Franklin
MUrphy, of "New Jersey, who, although!
not a member, had been admitted to
the confer. ?:e. naming Mr. Hill, Chaa
F. Brooker. of Connecticut, and former
Representative Frank O. lj)wdon, ot
Illinois, as a special committee to go
to the While House to ascertain tho
Wishes of President Taft.
Hrooker ami Lowdon wore known
ito be in favor of New, and some of
the lnttcr's opponents went so far as
to say that the committee had been
?'stacked" against tho vice-chairman.
They said that If Brooker and Louden
urged the President openly to espouse
the cause of New no alternative would
!>e lef t Mr. Hill but to acquiesce. How?
ever. President Taft did not follow the
course Nfcw's friends expected. He is
nald to have told the special commit?
tee that the question was one which
t>he national committee must meet.
That ended the parleying until after
the dinner, nnd. of course, passed the
?Whole situation over until to-morrow.
The question of presidential prefer?
ence primaries, sc far as the national
committee was concerned, practically
was disposed of at the meeting of the
executive committee late to-day. It
?was decided to cover all of the other
Etales of the Union by n resolution
providing that delegates should ho
elected in accordance with rules laid
down by the various Stale committees;
There seemed to bo no question to?
night but t'hat Chicago would get the
national convention, nnd that It would
!be held the last week In June St.
Louis apparently was the only city so
rlouslv considered ns a rival to Chi?
cago. ' Denver. It was claimed, would
?throw Its support to Chicago In prefer
ien 'e to st Louis,
President Taft to-day declined to
commit himself either to Chicago or
flt- Louis. The national 'committee
iortnorrow will allow one hour and a
Jin If to the representative of tho va?
rious cities 10 presold their convention
claims.

10, 1908. aho waa taken nick with Catarrhal
Fnoumonla, and continually grew worse, re?
quiring a trained nurse. Night awoata were
so bad that It was necessary to chnngo her
clothing once or twice overy night: her
cough Increased and got so bad that every?
body e-xpooted that ehe would not Uvo
much longer. The trained nurso (Miss Anna
Trlncn) Informed me that ehe had Tuber?
culosis and nothing could bo dona for tier'.
In January, when Rev. Win. Burg, of St
Michael's Church, at Sliercvltlc. Ind., pre?
pared for her death, ho rocnmmondod that
I gel come Kckman'a Alterative, and see If
tt would not give nor aomo relief. I then
requested the attending physician to glvo
his diagnosis, and he Informed me thnt she
hud Consumption and was beyond all medi?
cal aid. When I nskod If ho thought that
It was useless to try tlio Alterative, he re?
plied that 'J*0 physician could help hor any
and I could suit myself about it.' So 1 Im?
mediately hud Rev. Win. Borg to send for
a bottle. Practically without hope for re?
covery. 1 Insisted that she try tho Altera?

week's treatment aho got so.bad that aho
refused to take any more of It. but tho
doctor advised her to keep on taking It. as
It wna the only thing thut might help her.
I am glad to say now that aho kept on and

PREPARING TO APPEAL

Counsel for the board of directors |
of uhe State Penitentiary applied to
Clerk Rowe'le, of the (#?ly Circuit
Court, yesterday for a copy of the ,
record In the Carrlngton case, with n ,
view to an appeal. As the situation
now stands. Dr. CarrlngL.'n was sum?
marily removed some weeks ago. On
prtltlon to the Circuit Court for nv.in
damus, Judge Scott decided that this
removal had been without due notire

void and of no effect.

for tho Federal government to rcgu
lato tho issue of future securities, und,
of co, to what extent and In what
manner. Tho complex relations bo
twcon securities already outstanding
has madt It Impossible to treat tho
question of future regulation ua It
might have been treated If those so
curltlos were not ulready In existence.
In cases 'where It lb found that the
Issued securities exceed tho pJiysicui
valuation, the commission Is not In
favor of forbidding further Ibsuo un?
til tho dotlcioncy is made up, becauso
tho principle. If generally applied,
might prevent railroads from securing
cup I ia I necessary for tho service of
tho community.
By empowering the Interstate Com?
mission to enforce publicity and to
make physical valuations, the com?
mission bolleves there will be no ne?
cessity for a law to ruqulro approval
In advance for Issues of securities. Ad?
vance authorization, tho commission
holds, would' tend to create on the part
of the Investing public, an Impression
of a guurunly of olhcial recognition oi
^values which no administrative au?
thority could safely glvo.
Tho commlssiouors do not bcllcvo
that tho cost of reproducing' railroad
properties, however. caretully com?
puted, is the solo element to be con?
sidered In determining tho present
value of a railroad, or that the out?
standing securities should bo mado to
conform to any arbitrary standard.
Tho commission believes that tho
amount and face value of oustundlng
securities haB only un Indirect effect
upon the actual making of rates, and
that It should havePttlo If any weight
In tholr regulation.
Withholds Approval.
Tho commission does not npprovo
of any unqual'ucd proposition to pro,
htblt ownership of atoc.t of one road
by another. To do so. tho reports says,
would Involve too much disturbance
of existing relations, whatever may bu
tho ovIIb attendant upon euch hold
Ings. It Is recommended, however,
that wherever a group of men or com?
panies has -ought a majority of
stock In a ruad they may bu properly
required to buy the minority at the
sume prlco.
