FINLEY co MING
TO MEET PEOPLE
President of Southern to Discuss
Question Of New Passenger
Service.
WANT AFTERNOON TRAIN
Informal Conference Agrees to
Ask for One Leaving for
Amelia at 3 O'clock.
WANT AFTERNOON TRAIN

President W. w. Finley, Of the South
ern Railway, will meet representatives
from a number of business organizations
in conference at the Chamber of Com
merce this morning at $3.50 o'clock to
discuss the question of operating addl.
tional passenger train service In and
out Of Richmond on that line. There
was an informal conference yesterday
afternoon. at which it was agreed to
ask that the present service be not
disturbed, but tha, train be put on
to leave here at 2:45 or 8 P. NJ, to run
TO Amelia, distance of thirty y-siX
miles, returning before P. NJ.
The fact that President Finley con-
sented willingly and cheerfulW to come
here and deal first hand with the cit
liens was highly commended, showing,
as it did, a friendly disposition to do
whatever possible TO satisfy local de-
mands and conditions. Indeed, the
visit is regarded as bit unusual. and
for that reason members OF the cham
Der and the Travellers Protective A.sso-
citation declared that Mr.. Finley's
frank and open manner spoke we'll for
the policy he has adopted for his COM
pany.
To Use Present Equipment.
The Keysville accomm odation. which
arrives here at $40 and leaves at 6
P. NJ, is regarded as satisfactory, and
the business people are anxious that
1t be retained What they will ask the
Southern is to use this same train for
the afternoon run to Amelia and back,
believing that the schedule can be so
arranged that it can get into Rich
mond in ample time to turn around and
leave for keysville at s o'clock. BY
this means they contend that 1t will
not be necessary to provide additional
equipment; that the only cost will be
in operation, and that the travel would
more than compensate for the cost.
1t was brought out at the conference
yesterday that large number OF bus
iness and professional men In Rich
mond live on the Southern at Bon Air
and points beyond that they come in
daily, returning home in the after
noon, and that many school children
come in every day to attend school.
This travel it was stated, was con-
siderable item, the daily passengers
feeling that if possible more satis-
factory and a more convenient sched-
ule should be established.
Section Growing Rapidly.
Some OF the speakers, In telling Of
the fine and healthy section along the
Southern, which is being developed by
Richmond people. contended that the
number OF commuters would be very
largely increased If the company would
meet the wishes Of the chamber In
having Its Ileysville accommodation
perform double daily service, so far,
at least. as Amelia and intermediate
points are concerned, They took the
ground that the cost would be at the
minimum. while the benefit to the trav-
cling public and to the Southern Rail-
way would be enormous.
President Finley will be greeted by
a large number of citizens, The hour
OF the conference was fixed at $3.50
o'clock, as he will be forced by bus
iness reasons to leave the city at noon.

New York, July 1S-Steps were

grand jury for fuller Investigation
of the alleged recent cotton pool.
Under orders from Judge Hand. in the
United States Circuit Court, three firms
OF brokers will be required to produce
their books and tell of their transac-

Judge Hand made his ruling when
the grand jury returned presentment
against Walter L. Johnson. of the
brokerage firm OF Shearson. Hammil
& Company, who had declined 70 pro-
duce books or testify regarding the
accounts of customers unless directed
by the court to do so. Counsel for
Johnson argued that as indictments
have already been returned against
James "A. fstten and others in connec-
tion with the alleged pool, the grand
jury had no power to issue such sub
poenaes. He also claimed that the
transactions between the broker and
his customers were privileged The

Beverly. Mass, July 1s.-There win
be no Beverly label on the Ohio Repub-
lican ante-convention situation. This
much was decided upon at the Sum
mer White House to-day. when, just
previous to his departure on the May
flower on ten days cruise along the
coast of Maine, President Taft had as
his luncheon guests Senator's Burton
and Dick and former Attorney. Genera
Wade H. Ellis, now chairman, of the
Executive Committee of the Republican
state Central Committee Of Ohio.
II is understood that none OF the
three Ohio visitors to-day urged upon
the President the preferences of any
one candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for Governor. The Ohio situa-
ton was informally discussed. and.
while it is known that the President
may nave some personal preference In
the matter, he will not declare in favor
OF any of the three or four candidates
named. preferring to let the conven-
ton take care of the matter without
any interference on his part.
After leaving the Taft residence,
Senators Burton and Dick and Mr..
Ellis went to Boston, It is under-
stood that Senator Burton planned to
go direct to his home in Ohio tonight
Senator Dick and Mr.. Ellis have ar.
ranged to visit Washington before re-
turning to their home State, leaving
Boston tonight. Neither Senator Dick
nor Mr.. Ellis had much to say regard.
Ing the conference. Both agreed that
the meeting was entirely satisfactory.

REPUBLICANS ALARMED
Census Figures of South Cause Fenr
OF Iucreased Representation.

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.l
Washington d. c., July lS.-Because
the population figures Of few South
ern towns. taken under the new CEN
sus. have shown big increase over the
figures Of 1900, leading men in the
Republican party have become thor
oughly alarmed and have begun a
movement to keep the representation
from the Southern States in the Sixty
third Congress from being increased.
Two places In Virginia. Lynchburg
and Christiansburg, have shown big
increases. and the same is true of two
Georgia towns, Fitzgerald and Haw-
kinsvilIe. In Texas, of the fifteen or
twenty counties which have had their
. population figures made public. nearly
all OF them show big gains. The same
is true of Oklahoma and Tennessee.
1t is said that these areas, being wide
~ scattered, Indicate that the general
growth all over the South has been
iarge-in fact. much greater than any
one expected-and that IL the same
ratio is kept UP representation from
that section must. OF necessity, be in
creased. To forestall such an Increase
in membership 1t is proposed to begin
the downward movement now.
Efforts made here to-day to ascer-
tain whether or not President Taft
was interested in the movement failed
to disclose anything tending to show
that he was cognizant OF 1t, but it is
understood that Congressman Bennett,
of New York, and others who are lead

went 10 Beverly. That the movement
is on in earnest Is not denied
