PLANS TOPUT DOWN
 THE NIGHT RIDERS

Frankfort, Ky, October 2S.-A confer ence of the governors of the tobacco and cotton growing states, in which night riders have been operating, will be held shortly after the election for the purpose of contrivng measures to abate the evil which, starting in Kentucky and Tennes- see, has apparently spread and found lodgment in many other states. The sug- geston that the conference be held came from Governor Patterson of Tennessee and originated from the tragedy at Reel foot lake Governor Patterson, In pub lished interview, suggested such a con- ference, and his suggestion was brought to the attention of Governor Wilson today by a telegram from a New York news paper call for the conference will probably be issued in few days naming a date subsequent to the election in No vember
 The governors of the following states. and possibly others, will be asked to at tend: Tennessee, Kentucky Missouri Alabama Mississippi, Arkansas, Ohio. h. diana and Illinois.

REGULATING SALE AND
 SHIPMENT OF LIQUORS

two classes those where he purchase price accompanies the order. or is charged to the purchaser account. and those where the bill of lading is attached to draft which must be accepted by the purchaser in order to secure the bill of lading, without which the common carrier will not surrender the goods. With re- gard to the first class mentioned, when the shipper has charged the goods on his books and in the event that the cash does not accompany the order on his books to the purchaser and mails him an invoice and the bill of lading .ndorsed either to the purchaser or in blank, ne has com pletely divested himself O. title to, or con- trol over, the goods shipped. and the sale is held to have been completed at the place where the shipment originated. In the case of shipments where the bill Of lading is attached to draft, more ilfri- cult problem is presented. In that case the shipper retains a qualified control over the goods until the draft Is set tied Such shipments, however, appear to be similar in principle to cases on l delivery shipments, in regard to which the |, courts have held that the carrier is the agent of the purchaser for transportation | and of the shipper for collection. l But to establish the bona fdes of the l transaction and to provide against the ex- l ercise without notice of the control re- | tained by the shipper to divert the ship ment to another than the original person | for whom intended, the goods must be
 labeled. Notify purchaser's nameJ, and | the bill of lading must be indorsed not | in blank, but specifically to the pur- l chaser on whom draft is drawn, and
 whose name appears on the shipping tag,
 in order that the identity of the purchaser
 and the goods intended for him may both | be clearly determined.
 Where these conditions are fully con- l piled with this office holds that the sale | is completed at the point of shipment, | notwithstanding the qualified control re-
 tained by the shipper until the draft is | settled.
 Tt is necessary, of course in order to
 avoid liability to special tax at the place | of delivery, that there should be in every
 case a bona fide order received and &C., 1 cepted at the place where special tax | stamp to cover sales is held.
 "All previous rulings or decisions in
 conflict with the position herein taken are | hereby revoked"

Dun 6 Co.'s Review.

New York, october 23.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Ante-election lassitude is general in the commercial world. especially as to the placing of contracts for new undertak- ings, but there is gratifying decrease in idle machinery at manufacturing plants, testifying to confidence in good demand when the present uncertainty IS over. Lack of rain has been a serious draw back, low water retarding mill work and river shipments, while winter wheat is getting poor start and forest fires cause great damage Collections improve in farming sections as the crops are sold. but are still only fair on the whole
 Considering the amount of business in the iron and steel industry that is known to be held back until after the election, this weeks new orders are encouraging. although the sales of pig iron were at prices most favorable to the buyer. New ertheless, the contracts placed assure ac- tivity at some furnaces well into the fu- ture, while the railroads are not placing normal orders by any means, yet there are new sales of cars and track equip ment
 Textile plants are more fully occupied, and better tone is apparent in the pri- mary markets, buyers exnlDltlng great CT degree of interest, although actual transactions are not large. Some oper- ators still hold back for better terms, but producers are making no further conces- sions. There is still distinct absence of speculative operations in cotton goods, putting the market on a substantial basis Prices continue to prevent export trade on any general scale, offers from China being numerous, but too low for consid- eration A substantial purchase of print cloths at Fall River caused a rise in prices, and this tendency Is noticed througout most departments, quickly checking any broadening of interest. In woolen goods there is still dispo- stion to await the verdict of clothiers salesmen who are on the road with sam- ples of mems wear.
 Prospects are considered most favor able in the footwear industry, indications being seen in certain quarters of a dis position to purchase on a more libera basis than at any previous time this year Thus far, however, actual improvement is irregular.
 Leather Is quiet but irregular.

Count Zeppelin Makes
 Successful Air VOyage

Friedrichahafen, October 23.-The recon structed Zeppelin dirgible airship No. l made triumphal reappearance and as- cension with ten passengers this after noon. The trip in the air lasted for three and a half hours, without a hitch. The balloon made an average altitude of 800 miles an hour at mean altitude of 800 feet Driven alternately by a single mo- tor and with both motors, the craft made easy progress
 Critical aeronauts and throngs of the populace crowded the shores of Lake Constance from o'clock until 5:30 this afternoon watching the airship.
 Ascending from the waters of Lake Constance almost horizontally for 300 feet the craft started on a short voyage overland against fresh northeast breeze It swept over the palace, from the

grounds of which the King of Wurtem-
 burg greeted 1t. Meanwhile, Queen Char
 lotte, aboard the royal yacht followed
 it's maneuvers. The air vessel seemed
 constantly to increase it's speer. sometimes
 far surpassing the records of the one
 destroyed at Echterdingen. While at
 height of 1000 feet the craft performed
 most wonderful maneuvers. At an angle
 of S5 degrees it turned to the right and
 to the left and spun completely around; then, all the time steering with the wings opening and closing like window shutters, 1t raised at the bow and stern at will. Short sharp dashes full of speed fol- lowed--frst toward Switzerland and then toward the Rhine valley. Finally the balloon descended to the lake and was placed in the floating hall without diffi- culty.
 Daily trials of the dirigible will be made until next Monday, when it is probable that an endurance trip will take place.

HITCHCOCK WILL
 MAKE FORECAST

New York, October 23.-Chairman Hitchcock of the republican national committee left for Chicago at S:30 p. m today. He will have final personal conference there on the political situa- tion and conditions in the west and middle west, and return here Monday morning. He said on his departure to- day that upon his return he would remain here until after the election. He added that soon after his return here he would give out his forecast of the result.
 Members of the local unions afhl- lated with the American Federation or Labor will have MT. Taft, who Is an honorary member of the International Union of Steam Shoyelers, to them selves next Wednesday evening for half an hour. Since MT. Taft has con sented to speak to them in Cooper union on that evening they have ar ranged to exclude from the hall all persons who are not members Of the union.
 Henry Williams, chairman of the Ohio state executive committee, was at headauarters of the republican na- tional committee to consult with Chairman Hitchcock about the cam paign in Ohio. MT. Williams said:
 "They are ready to vote and to vote right. I see no reason to doubt that Taft will carry Ohio by at least 75,000. The entire republican ticket will be elected by about the same plurality. State Chairman Woodruff confirmed the report late today that pr. Alexan- der the throat specialist who went west with Governor Hughes, has gone to Rochester at the request of the gov ernor. The visit is to take precaution- ary measures in connection with Gov ernor Hughes throat, in order to pre- ! pare him for the last week of the campaign in this city.

NEW ORDERS FOR
 BANK EXAMINERS

Washington. October 23.-To enforce much greater responsibility upon direct ors of national banks and to make them pay more attention to their institutions. Comptrollerfof Currency Murray today issued an order to national bank ex- aminers directing them that upon enter ing bank to make an examination to immediately convene the directorate and require answers to a formal list of 25 searching questions. These inquiries are to be put by examiners to each director and are designed to bring out clearly the relation of the directors to the ex- ecutive conduct of the bank, the extent of their knowledge of the banks paper, the latitude conceded by them to bank officers in oversteppng the national banking law provisions and their super vision of the bank details. This is said to be the first complete official inquiry into the relationship between banks and directors.

 Still Very Dull.
MERCHANTS ARE FILLING IN

New York, October 2S.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say.
 Retail trade still reflects the influence of warm weather and the approach of election breeds conservatism as regards heavy buying and the projection of new enterprises. However, there is more doing and more confidence is shown. The large movement of wheat to market is re- aponsibe for the optimistic tenor of re- ports from important distribGtive points in the northwest. Effects of the drouth are shown in almost total suspension of steamboat traffic on the Ohio river and its tributaries.
 Reports as to collections vary, being best in the northwest and poorest at tae south.
 The situation in textile lines is inter esting and more encouraging. While job ping trade is confined largely to small immediate shipments or filling in orders, there is fair activity in the Chicago dis trict and far west where the breaking of the drouth helped sentiment. In the cotton goods line one feature early was a reduction in shirtings points, but later
 
 cloths at Fall River, and prices advanced from hc to Ac. Confident buying by large printing interest is the reported basis for the strength in demand and prices. Raw silk prices are firm and there Is more buying this week than for some time past Recorders of mems wear goods are reported of good volume, but the fea- ture in this line is probably that present purchasing is to fill in originally light bought stocks.
 The leather trades are lighter, and heavy hemlock sole leather continues scare while prices of all sole feathers are firm. Eastern shoe shipments are be- hind the corresponding week year ago and for the calendar year to date they are the smallest since 1889.
 More interest has been developed in the iron and steel market and considerable new business has been done in the east in basic pig
