operation in methods to be pursued in
the enforcement of laws regulating
railroad passenger fares in the states
of Georgia, Alabama and North Caro-
lima, was agreed upon today at a con-
ference held in this city by the gov
ernors OF these states. After discus
sion the three chief executives reached
an agreement and the meeting was
adjourned. In a statement given to
the Associated Press tonight, signed
by the three governors, it is explained
that not only have they arranged to
"co-operate in the investigation of
facts and law connected with the duty
Of our states to the public and to
transportation companies" but they
would also cooperate with other
states which have the same prob
lem.
I'VE regard the complete ~recogni-
tion of the right of the states to reg

statement continues.
Today's conference, which was held
at the suggestion of Governor Conner

member of the railroad commission of
Alabama; Judge w. ID. Weidlcy and
Colonel II. G.. Seelheimer, special
counsel for Alabama in the pending
rate litigation In that state; Attorney
General John c. Hart.
The declared object of the meeting
was to reach an agreement. III possi-
BILE, In methods to be pursued in en-
forcing the rate laws of the states in

rate that would apply to the roads OF
those states, the rates being at pres
ent widely divergent.
Just what concerted plan was de-
cided upon, the governors refuse 20
state, nor would they give out any OF
the details of the conference beyond
the statement that = WAS most satis-
factory.
The statement of the governors con-
cludes as follows:
Increased business as a conse-
uuence OF reduced rates required by
our state authorities have, in every
case where faithfully tried, compen-
sated the CORPORATIONS.

OKLAHOMA COTTON CROP

That 10 Gents htifW Il Figure

Guthrie, okla. Nov. Cotton
growers In all parts of oklahoma and
Indian Territory today held secret
meetings and discussed the market
situation. II was decided to hold the
1907 pick until cotton prices have ad-
vanced to a certain point. The cotton
growers have a compact organization
and each member Is sworn To secrecy.
II Is rumored the minimum price at
which farmers will sell was fixed ~
16 cents.
The action of the cotton growers
To hold their crop is considered in a
favorable light by financial concerns
as indicating that the furry has
not frightened agricuIturists and that
they are not in need/of ready money.
The fact that banks will not be called
on to supply cotton purchase funds
will have much TO do In restoring nor

over 10000 bales OF cotton VIII be

New York, Nov. 1.-The bohdsmen
OF Raymond Hitchcock still have five
days in which to deliver the comedian
10 the court. where he Is charged with
offenses against young girls. II was
hinted TODAY that the actor was living
quietly in this city and would be on
hand to face his accusers when the
case is called next Wednesday.
A new twist to the case was given
today when the police attempted TO To-
cate Bella Mckenzie aged seventeen
wears, one Of Hitchcock's accusers.
She left home month ago and sub
sequenty took rooms In West Six
tieth street According 10 agents Of
the Children's society she had met
Hitchcock since his troubles began.
She left her last lodging about the
time the actor was indicted The po-
lice believe that the girl could throw
some light on what has become of
Hitchcock.
1t was said that an effort would be
made TO obtain the release under ha-
beas corpus proceedings OF Elsie
Voecks and Helen Won Hagen. two Of
the girls who testified before the
grand jury and who are now detained
in the House of the Good Shepherd,
The agents of the Gerry society prob
ably will fight the release. alleging
that friends of Hitchcock are behind
the proceedings.
The only other developments today
were in the way Of new theories re-
garding the actors disappearance. The
most fanciful theory and which found
some favor, was that the actor had
called into play his 'make up" genius
and by clever disguise was enabled to
roam at will about the city.

Word was received heer last night
of an attempt to lynch the foreman OF

composed the construction gang. The
foreman is an American and the tai
ians were disgruntled over the dis
charge of his predecessor, who was
also an Italian.
Last night the foreman asserted his
authority over the gang and the ltal-
lans rushed at him and seized him.
They fastened rope about his neck
and dragged him to a telegraph pole,
to which they strung him.
A ranchman who was passing at tho
time interfered and after a desperate
fight drove the men away. When
their victim was cut down lac was un-
conscious but soon recovered. He
took the next train to Havre and re-
signed his position.
