IN FRONT OF GLENN
NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR AT
 END OF WITS.
Atiantic Coast Line Will Net Agree With Him and Mir. Finley and Proposed Compro-
 mise Tafzs.

Raleigh. N. C.. Dec. 1i.--AlI plans to compromise the railroad rate litiga- tion are seemingly at an end for the present owing to the refusal of the Atlantic Coast Line and some smaller lines to agree to terms acceptable to the State and the Southern Railway.
 This is the gist of the statement is- sued by Governor Glenn today after a visit to him by President Finley of the Southern Railway. Governor Glenn in his statement reviewed the various steps in the controversy. stating that he had proposed to the railroads that they use the State rate, stop all suits and see in six or eight months if the rate was coniscatory and if so the Legislature would be convened and asked to make a change.
 The Southern Railway refused. Gov ernor Glenn then proposed to call the Legislature together to recommend a flat rate of Ia cents. interstate and intrastata. mileage books of 500 miles. intrastate 1000 miles, inter and intra- state interchangeable 1000 miles, in- ter and intrastate all for firms and families not exceeding five. all at 2 cents. The Southern agreed to aii ex- cept the 500 miles for families. putting this at l-4 cents and he accepted this.
 The seaboard Ar Line also agreed. but the Coast Line and some smaller lines refused. The Governor says that unless all the roads accepted 1t would be useless to call the extra session of the Legislature and this will not be called unless he decides to ask 1t to ac- cept the terms of the Southern and Eeaboard and to pass such laws for the others as seems best.
 At present the position of the State ss tffat 1t will continue to prosecute It's ease in the United States Supreme Court. the habeas corpus case from Asheviile, in which 1t is contended that the Federal Court has no jurisdiction. being set for hearing on December IS.

Boise, Idaho, May 30 There have
been suggestive developments IN con-
nection with the arrest of Carl H.

H. s. Parks, a Socialist writer,
whose name was connected with that

latter, called on the police today and
asked to be protected from Duncan,
saying he was in fear of harm from
him.
Disguised as Farmer.
Duncan was subjected to a long
examination today by Prosecuting
Attorney Koelsch and the police and
according to them he said he was a
graduate of the University of Michi-
gan; that his mother lived in Ann

false whiskers, a nose piece and face
paint found on him in Portland and
that he used the ,whiskers so that he
might appear here as a farmer. He
said he bought an automatic pistol
because he thought it something
strange. The skeleton keys. he said
were just ordinary keys. The knife
ana -knuckles he claimed to have
bought from friends with the inten-
tion of selling them. He said that he
had wandered about the country and
that he had been arrested on suspi-
cion in Toledo. o.. but had been freed
