 Today.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. s.-The Southern Conference on Quarantine and Immigration, which is to gather here tomorrow, promises to be one Of the most important meetings In any section of the United States that has been held in many years. The Governors of nine Southern States are already here or will arrive within few hours: three and possibly five United States Senators, a score of Congressmen and the repre- sentatives of hundred or more com mercial organizations are expected. Practical discussions of various phases, particularly of the quarantine ques- tion will be given by those thoroughly qualified to speak with authority.
 Louisiana will be represented by a delegation of sixty business and pro- fessionai men; Mississippi also will have large representation. What the delegates from these two States may advise will have much weight in shap- ing the results of the convention.
 M J. Sanders, of New Orleans, presi- dent of the New Orleans Progressive Union. who headed the Louisiana dele gation, said tonight that the sentiment 0f his co-delegates is for federal cou- trol of maritime quarantine and for some practical method by which uni- form lsgislation may be secured by the several States regarding State and in- terstate control of health matters.
 The mosquito transmission of yellow fever, he declared, is almost univer- sally accepted in his State and the uselessness of wholesale and indisc- criminate interruption of interstate commerce and intercourse as during the past summer, Is almost universally ac- cepted. This opinion is the one very widely accepted here tonight.
 The program for tomorrow, which covers three sessions, includes ad- dresses by Governor John l.. Cox, of Tennessee, who will call the convention to order and outline the objects of the gathering; addresses of welcome of United States Senator James B. Frazer Mayor William L. Friarson of Chatta- nooga and Hon. Lapsley G. Walker of The Chattanooga Times. Responses will be made by Governor James K. vardaman of Mississippi and President Charles P.
