S elous Aspect.

It is conservative to say that the de- velopments In the railway controvei sy bear 8 more serious aspect than at any time since the agitation began. The peace proposal made at the instance of udge Pritcnard to the state authorities that the federal court will not interfere with the Judgment of the $300C0 which was lm- proposal made at the instance of Judge Long at Raleigh if the state officials will allow both the Asheyille and Raleigh cases to run their course to the supreme court of the United States has not been accepted by Governor Glenn.
 The governor has simply taken notice of the proposal by asking if this means that the new rate law will be observed during the pendency of the cases, which would nullify Judge Prltchard's in1unc- ton. In the meanwhile District Attorney Holton has been sent for either at the instance of Assistant Attorney General Sanford or at the instance of Judge Prit- chard himself, and there is talk of indlct- ments against all persons who show dis position to impede the progress of the United States court.

Violation of Law Alleged in
 Rate Case Litigation
MUDDLE GROWING WORSE
Governor Glenn of North Carolina De- clares That Judge Pritchard Has Violated Federal Law In En.
 joining State Courts.

Asheville, N. C. July 4-A special from Raleigh received here this afternoon says that an important conference was held be- tween Governor Glenn and the counsel for the state Governor Glenn stated to a press correspondent that he had nothing to give out, but admitted that another conference would be held tomorrow morn- ing at which time he expected Attorney General Sanford to be present.
 The peace propositions submitted by Mir. Sanford to Governor Glenn and rejected by the latter are as follows:
 l. That the injunction suit should be speeded and gotten ready for final hearing at once.
 ?. That the habeas corpus cases decided on here should be at once carried to tho supreme court of the United States by appeal.
 8. That the Green case at Raleigh, in which the Southern railway was fined $50 ,000, should be carried by the railway company to the supreme court of the state at once, and if that court should affirm the Judgment of the superior court, the railway company should sue out a writ of error from the supreme court of the United States and carry the case to the latter court; that these three cases present every fea ture of the controversy which has arisen, and Is now agitatlng the publicmind with regard to <le recent rate law of the legislature.
 1. That all future proceedings under the rate law in the state court shall be sus- pended until the supreme court of the United States can render final Judgment settling the controversy.
 The state advocates stated tonight that the federal court cannot escape a viola ton of the federal statute, which pro- hibits d federal court from granting an injunction against a state court They say that it is too clear now to admit of question that what Judge Pritchard has already done amounts to a violation of the federal statute.

Health Officers Recommendations Re-

and in the interests of the community this
hlling should be done" was the statement
made by w. c. Woodward, health officer,
in recommendation to the Commissioners
today regarding the James Creek canal
In his recommendation DR.. Woodward
said: II have recently learned that al
though the James Creek canal will soon be
abandoned as a sewer, the portion of it be-
low street southwest will be allowed to
remain open. If commercial reasons render
this imperative, sanitary reasons require
that means be provided whereby the water
in the canal will be kept in motion. If this
be not done, the water in the canal WILL |
believe. become offensive, and will become
breeding place for germs and mosquitoes
1 am strongly of the opinion that, all things
considered, the interests of the community
Will be best served by filling in the canal
for It's entire length as it's use as
an open sewer has been abandoned. If this
cannot be done, means should be estab-
lished for Systematically flushing the canal
from its upper end down through its entire
length, and pending the making of such ar
rangements, the entire surface of the canal
should be covered and kept covered with
Kerosene so as TO prevent the propa ga ton
of mosquitoes.
Dr. Woodward submitted this recommen-
| dalton to Commissioner Macfarland, and
has asked that the matter be referred to
Col. Biddle, Engineer Commissioner, for
considerat ton, and a report for action
to be taken by the Commissioners

reorGaniZer, who is receiver for the Penn
sylvania Sugar Refining Company. Mr.
Earle has laid the allegations of the con-
spiracy, with his evidence, before the at

eminent under the Sherman antitrust law

There is a fully equipped modern sugar

The criminal part of the matter has been
left to the judgment of the Department of
Justice at Washington. Mr.. Earle has laid
all his facts before Assistant Attorney Cen

porter in Philadelphia last night:
My counsel here are very anxious that
they should make no mistake in the selec-
ton of counsel to represent them in New

days, but l shall certainly bring suit, and
have not the slightest doubt that it will be
pushed to successful issue.
If the case is what I believe it to be-
the public will find that it Is not an in

statute, but that it is one where people
starting to do wrong in one respect have
not hesitated to pursue their purposes by
wrongful methods In many others. There

ton OF statute. and 1t shall be punished

MORE GRAFT CUT OFF
CONTROLLER GYLNN WON'T AC-
CEPT BLIND VOUCHERS.
New York Statesmen Must Explain
What They Spend Money for
Guarding State Funds.

ALBANY, January a. Following his
declaration that personal bonds will not be
accepted, Controller Martin H. Glynn has
decided upon another reform IN his office
that will cause CONSERVATION among state
officials. Mr. Glynn has decided not to ac-
cept statements of expenses unless all ex-
penses are itemized. In the past it has been
the custom Of state officers drawing money
for expenses to spend the same as they saw
fit, and often the expenditures were Of such
a character that the person who put in the
bill was ashamed to give detailed account
Of how the money was used. And under the
easy-going method that has prevailed in the
state controllers office for years, no scru-
tiny was made of bills, the controller certi-
flying to accounts submitted in bulk.
Great Saving.
Mr.. Glynns announcement in this resp, ct
will mean the saving of thousands of dol
lars to the state, for in many instances the
state has been compelled not only to pay
for the private pleasures of state employees,
but to pay their debts also. Blind vouchers
have been accepted. and double sets have
been filed in the state controllers Office, SO
that 1t has been next to impossible to tell
to whom the money was really paid.
By refusing to accept vouchers unless
itemized accounts of the expenditures are
rendered. Controller Glynn will make q
drastic reform. He is going to recommend
to the legislature another change that will
be far reaching. Annually the state appro-
pirates to state officers $133, 900 sin lieu of
expenses" This amount has in reality been
nothing else than an increase in salary.
All they have had to do was to certify that
they spent the money in the service of the
state and render no account of the manner
in which it was expended. This Controller
Glynn believes is a poor method of con-
Quoting the financial affairs of the state,
and if the legislature wants to provide ex-
pense accounts for state officials he has no
objections, but he believes that the state
should know something about the nature
of the business and the necessity for the
expenditure. His recommendation will be
that the state officials who receive these
lump sums shall be compelled to file de-
tailed accounts.
