MANY GOVERNORS COMING

Chattanooga. November S.-The south ern confer flce on quarantine ana iiiiiii- grafton, which Is to gather here tofnof- row. promises to be one of the most ifh- portant meetings in any section or the limited states sAat has been held in many wears. The glvegnors of nine southern states are already here, or will arrive within few hours; three ana possipiy five United States senators, score or coneressmen and the representatives or a hundred more commercial organiza- lions are expected. Practical discussions of various phases, particularly ol the quarantine question, will be given py those thoroughly qualified to speak with authority.
 Louisiana We'll Represented.
 Louisiana will be represented by del- epation of sixty business and profes- sional men; Mississippi also Will nave A. large delegation. What the delegates from these two states may advise VIII have much weight in shaping the results of the convention. M J. Sanders or New Orleans, president of the New orleans Progressive union, who headed the Louis- jana delegation, said tonight that the sentiment of his co-delegates Is for fed- eral control of maritime quarantine and for some practical method by which uni form legislation may be secured py the several states regarding state and Inter- state control of health matters. The mos- quito transmission of yellow fever, he declared, Is almost universally accepted in his state, and the uselessness or whole sale and indiscriminate interruption or interstate intercourse as during the past summer, is almost universally accepted. This opinion Is the one very Wiueiy ac- cepted here tonight.
