PRESIDENTS
PLAN sPURNED
BY SOY. GLENN

Asheville. N. c.. July B.--The railroad
rate controversy has assumed more
warlike aspect than ever before. Gov.
Glenn has declined to accept the peace
terms as presented him by Assistant
United States Attorney General Edward
Sanford. sent here by President Roose-
velt. The Southern railway will ask for
an ancillary or supplemental bill to en-
join every solicitor of the state from
bringing suits.
Judge Lyon at Marion, N. c., yesterday
instructed the grand jury TO return in
dictments against the Southern railway
for violating the law
United States district Attorney Holton
arrived yesterday afternoon. The pro-
posed peace terms made to Gov. Glenn
by Assistant Attorney General f. T. San
ford on the part OF President Roosevelt
and which were absolutely refused by the
governor. provided:
l. That the injunction suit should be
pushed speedily and got ready for final
hearing.
2. That the habeas corpus cases decided
here should be at once carried to the su-
preme court on appeal
3. That the Green case at Raleigh, in
which the Southern railway was fined
900, should be carried by the railroad
company TO the supreme court of the
state at once. and II that court should
affirm the judgment OF the superior
court the railroad company should sue
out a writ of error from the supreme
court of the United States and carry the
case to the latter court.
4. That all further proceedings under
the rate law In the state court shall be
suspended until the supreme court of the
United States can render final judgment
settling the controversy.
The reason Gov. Glenn will not accept
peace offers is that to accept II would
be to surrender to tho Federal court en-
tire. The state contends that 1t would be
humiliating.
Gov. Glenn said today: IT shall not con-
slider any offer from the other side until
the railroad company complies with the
law"

INVESTIGATION OF
GEORGIA DISASTER

Washington, July 25.-The complete
report of the board appointed to In
vestigate the disaster on the battle
ship Georgia n week ago last Monday
has reached the navy department.. In
view of the testimony adduced before
the board there is still some doubt as
to whether or not the accident was
caused by a delay bareback as the
board reports
The board In its finding said that the
accident apparently" had been caused
by a delay bareback due to the shut
ting off OF the air blast too soon. But
one officer testified that he went into
the turret several minutes after the ex-
plosion and found the air blast still
on and that he turned II of himself,
also that the breach OF the other eight
inch gun in the turret was not closed.
In view of this fact the opinion that
a bareback caused the accident is not
decisive.
