FEDERAL AND STATE KIGHIS

St. Louis Sept. 30--A strong desire to do away with the conflict of juris- dtctton between state and Federal courts, and .as one of the phases of that question. to restrict the power Of Federal courts in their dealings with matters pertaining wholly to Statt. seemed the prevailing sentiment at convention of Attorneys General from fifteen States of the Union at the southern Hotel today. Herbert S. Hadley. Attorney General of Missouri, acted ss q chairman or the convention. The following papers were read to- day:
 Assistant Attorney General of Texas. "Railroad Rate Regulation" Herbert s. Hadley. Attorney General of Mis- souri; Dtscussion by w. T. Thompson, Attorney General of Alaska: "Confiicl Between State and Federal Courts" Edward I. Young, Attorney General of Minnesota: discussion by R. r. sippi and A. M. Garber. Attorney Gen. eral of Alabama.
 The opening paper was read by MT. Lghtfoot of Texas, on Antitrust Laws" To meet the evils caused by H. legal combinations In, restraint of trade. Mr. Lightfoot suggested that the Federal government should amend Its iA W6 on tH0 A0tACith6 RoAhte.
 What Country Needs.
 There should be a reduction of the tariff on all necessities of life; there should be prohibition of interstat" transportation of trust made goods; there should be legislation prohibiting the use of the mails to trusts and mon opolies when convicted as such; there should be legislation strengthening the laws against secret rebates and prefer entiai tariffs
 Tn the discussion Attorney General Thompson of Nebraska told If the iniouity of the free passes and stated that the Nebraska legislators who In paying for their tickets gave the State more satisfactory legislation regulat- ing common carriers than 1t had rs- ceived in thirty-five years.
 Peculiar interest was given the paper on .'fhe Conflict Between State and Federal co.artsf, by Attorney General young of Minnesota. by the fact that he expects to be arrested on his re- turn to Minnesota in connection with a contempt case arising out of the con- flict between courts
 Murmurs of approval greeted Gen. eral Young's statement that the most trouble arose from the exercise by Federal courts of powers which the founders of the government never in- tended they should have and that 1t was plain that they must be limited. MT. Young also said that many Federal Judges seem to be misunderstand the relations between State and national governments, and the extent of their own powers. In conclusion. he plead ed for the emancipation of the States from the unjustifiable interference with their affairs by Federal trial courts.'

 New york. Sept. 30.--The mystery of the pipe line under Central Park be- longing to the National Transit Com pany. one of the subsidiary companies of the Standard oil Company has been solved At the hearing in the suit to diesolye the oil combine the fact that such a line existed was brought out :. No one knew how the line came here; no one could be found except the of- ficers of the transit company who knew that 1t was there.
 Search through the recorders ofice of the park board, however. has dis closed the fact that the original per init to lay the pipe line was granted April 25, 1877. and that a permit to relay the pipe line was granted on August 2s, 1889. No one connected with the park board or any other de- partment of the city government re- membered anything about the granting of the permits.
