RALEIGH, n. c., October 1s.--An
ail-day conference to-day OF the States
attorneys in the railroad rate case
resulted in no definite decision as to
the future course or the State in the
famous suit OF the Southern Railway
to decide the constitutionality of tho
IA cent fare.
The conference was with Governor
Glenn and Chairman Mcneil, Of the
Corporation Commission. After the
conference Governor Glenn stated that
there would be another meeting next
Tuesday night. when 1t was probable
that something definite would be de-
cided upon. In the meantime each on.
of the participants was to formulate
his idea OF what ought to be done.
one plan of action was suggested
to-day and taken under advisement.
During the day Judge r. W. Win
ston. OF Durham stated to severa.
newspaper men that the decision or
Judge PrItchard sustaining Standing

allow the State TO go further back
into the books OF the Southern Rail-
way than the year 1905 had left the

explained that the State was anxious
to have expert accountants take ac-
count o. every ticket and mileage
book and thus separate the cost OF
intrastate from that OF interstate
transportation. This had been done
in Kentucky. he said. Now the ruling
OF the court limited the State TO Its
experts and certified statements from
: the Corporation Commission.
There was a general opinion here
to-day that the conference discussed
at some length the advisabillty OF put
ting First vice-President Andrews on
the stand: also OF going further into
the matter OF the vouchers of the
Southern Railway given by Colonel
Andrews to state Senator ]. c. Drew

Grand Jury In Valley County.

Advices from Glasgow state that
Judge Tattan mas decided to call a
grand jury to Investigate conditions
in Valley county, the Jurors to report
for duty November l. 1t is understood
that the grand jury is called at the re-
ques. Of Valley county officials who
have been unable to secure evidence
in certain criminal cases, owing to
the refusal of witnesses to give the
necessary testimony. 1t is alleged
that 10 a recent shooting case at Hius-
dale it was impossible to obtain evil
dence from parties who witnessed the
crime, and that similar trouble has
been experienced in other cases.
At the Friday session of the district
court in Glasgow, the county attorney
filed an inform atien against John
Sherry for killing Harry Black at
Hiusdale about three weeks ago. The
case was set for trial about November

Must Obtain Consent Of Voters.

HELENA, October 2s.-Replying to
County Attorney Theodore Leuth of
Dawson, Attorney General allen
holds that section 13, chapter 20, laws
of 1907, cannot be SO construed as to
permit the erection of a $40, 600 county
free high school building without first
obtaining the approval of a majority
of the electors OF the county therefor.
He continues that taxes levied and
collected next year are not available
for the current year, hence cannot be
considered al any time prior to their
actual levy. Quoting the state consti'
tuition, Mr.. Galen says the courts give
a very strict construction as to the
authority of the county commissioners
to expend money. To assist the board,
after reviewing the facts, Mr.. Galen
says it can do one of three things:
"To submit 70 the electors the prop
osition of erecting a school building
to cost not exceeding s26, 900 and to
pay for the same from the funds now
on hand.
ITO erect a school building costing
$40, 600; expeud the 500, 600 o on
hand in part payment, and issue bonds
in the sum of GA 200.
ITO await until enough money is
accumulated in the treasury to erect
the kind of building desired, and then
submit the proposition to the electors,
asking permission to expend that III
cunt of money for that purpose
