statements bY OMc1alG Who Were Present at Ihe Recent Conference No One Knows Anything About It But Some Agreement Must be Reached Generating Rates. CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.--It was ascertained made public offering huge railroad combi- nation to embrace all the territory west of Chicago and St. Louis, with a claaring Aeuse for competitive business and commission of presidents to control rates, is alter all only one of the plans that was considered at the New York conferences and is not the only one that was formally adopted. The plan that received the most favorable considera- tion was much stronger in form of agrees ment and more severe in it's restrictions as to the use of the rate making power.
 STATEMENT ON AUTHORITY.
 J. W. Midgely, who was present at the conference in the capacity of an adviser sad to-day: "This plan is one of several that were considered. am positive it will not be adopted for the reason that it is not strong enough to answer the purpose for which it was intended. Aside from the arbri- ztration feature, it is but little different from the agreement of the Western Freight association. Talk as to trusts is sheer non- sense as applied to this agreement. The truth is that the railroads have become des- perate at the prevailing condition of affairs. Something must be done or they will be driven to the wall The meeting at New York represented the financial interests of these roads. It was composed of men who own the property and who believe it should yield some returns. They were determined if possible to save the railroads from bank ruptoy. The interstate law prohibits pool ing and of course it was necessary to devise some other means of stopping the demorsli- zation."
 KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT.
 President Marvin Hughitt, of the Chicago and North Western, was to-day asked if he was favorable to tke scheme He replied: ''I know nothing about it except what have read in the papers. I am not prepared to say anything as to it's merits or as to the probability of it's being adopted The Chi- cago and Northwestern has not been repre- sented at any conference, nor has it been consulted on the question of 8 new agree ment. We are st present parties to the agreement of the Western Freight association and also to the passenger agreement and have no present intention of going into any other. We shall certainly not go into any new plan until we have thoroughly consid- cred it."
 Vice President Stone of the Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy said he had paid little at- tention to the proposed scheme, and as he had not been consulted in regard to it, there was nothing for him to say on the subject.
 It seems probable that if the framers of the plan fail to unite all the roads vest northwest and southwest of Chicago, the agreement will go into effect west of the Mis- souri river, since the Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific. the Missouri Pacific and the Atchison are all in accord with the move ment and practically control the territory. Mir. Mdgeley says he called no meeting to consider the matter as the proposed plan is not complete.
 White Caps in Northern Ohie.
 TOLEDO, O., Nov. 2S.-A sensation has been caused in this part of the State by the dis covery that the White Caps, who have here tofore confined their ravages to southern and central Ohio and Indiana. have extended their operations into northwestern Ohio. All over the trees near the home of ex-Governor Fos- ter at Fostoria was discovered yesterday no- tice warning all men who are in the habit of getting drunk and abusing their families and failing to properly provide for them that they will, unless they amend their ways, receive visit from the White Caps. Similar notices were found in other rowns in the vicinity.
