Governor Glenn saiG this morning
that his attention had been called 10
an editorial in the Wilmington Messen-
ger and copied in the Raleigh Even
ing Times. in which it was stated that
he was greatly worried and was seek
inc to compromise with the Southern
railway because on account OF his con-
duct the state had waived certain OF
its rights to plead the eleventh amend
ment to the constitution against the
railways right to recover. The gov
eTnOr says he does not attribute ban
motives to the article, but hopes That
j. was written from Il misconceptlon
of facts and not intentionally to in
jure him. He said that when Attor-
neys E. J. Justice and c. B. Aycock
entered their appearance in the South
ern railway suit against the corpora
tiOn commission and Attorney General
Gilmed they specially and specitical-
ly entered their appearance for the
defendant, r. D. Gilmer and not for
the state of North Carolina, thereby
waiving no right of North Carolina i'll
the matter. The governor said further
that when the railways came to him,
saying that they woul6put the legisla-
tive rates into effect and it was agreed
that further indictments under the
penalty act should stop, it was spe-
cifically put in the written agreement
that nothing contained in it should in
any way affect the jurisdictional Ques.
tion or any other right the state had
under article II of the constitution.
The governor stated that he had asked
the opinion of no one regarding a
waiver Of this right, as he knew very
we'll no waiver had been made by him.
One attorney who was not present at
the conference wrote, making some sug
gestions, but when the matter was ex-
planned to him, he was perfectly salts.
fed that no rights had been waived.
The governor said in conclusion, that
on the question of jurisdiction he had
no fear whatever that representing the
state he had waived any right.
