Salem, Ore, Nov. 30.-Howard El
liot, president Of the Northern Paci-
fic Railroad Company. who was the
principal speaker at the second days
session of the Oregon Development
convention today. roundly scored the
people for interference through rail-
road commissions, legislatures and
bureaus, in the management Of rail-
roads, business of which, he said,
they have no knowledge. He said:
"Of late years, everybody. and by
that I mean the people at large.

sions and bureaus, have been under
taking to regulate and manage in de-
tail some of the larger forms Of busi-
ness, particularly railways.
The result is that the people whose
real business it is to manage rail-
roads, mean the owners and the
men they employ-are being dis
couraged by being interfered with by
everybody and there is danger that
this interference will produce a con-
dition where the railway was no.

When the conference committee or
the Southeastern Passenger Associa-
ton assembled at the San Carlos ho-
tel in this city at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning, it at once began to grapple
with several vexatious problems OF
these, perhaps, the most serious was
the one which all the roads will be
compelled to meet: that is to con-
form with the provisions of all the
railroad laws of the different states
within the territory as we'll as the
laws of the United States and to do
this with the least possible friction
to the travelling public as we'll as to
the greatest convenience OF the
roads themselves.
Within the past few years nearly
every state in the territory embrac-
ed in the association has passed new
laws effecting railroads and the rail-
roads commissions of many OF these
states have made important rulings.
In many respects while these laws
and rulings dc not exactly conflict,
they do not harmonize by any man
ner of means and the laws Of the
United States relating to Interstate
commerce have to be considered:
and the roads say they are anxious
to meet all the requirements of all
these laws and rulings and the job
of making them harmonize is not an
easy problem. The traffic men are
spending much time in working out
these problems.

In court today there was no men,

against Gallagher the charge Of afro

should the victim of an assault die

commission Of the crime. a charge Of
murder will lie against his assailant.

the plea might be withdrawn or the
