ing passenger fares in that state man
is believed possible under the recen

ing case was considered at a confer
ence here today between Governor
Glenn of North Carolina, and former
Governor Aycock and former Congress
man Woodward, counsel for the State
of North Carolina.
The ruling of Master in Chancery
Montgomery, which was sustained by
Judge Pritchard, was to the effect that
an inspection could not be made of
the Southern Railway companys books
further back than two. years. Ii was
the contention of the States counsel
that this ruling was unfair on the
iground that unless they were afforded
an opportunity to dclve into the affairs
of the Southern as far back as 1895,
a complete case would not be maze
up for the State OF North Carolina.
While no conclusion was reached in
the matter it Is known that counsel for
the State are not satisfied with the
ruling. and probably will make an an.
peal for a full inspection of the South
era's hooks for period extending
back - years. The conference will be
