oot actual results In swaying the tide
! Governor Blease. of South Carolina
gave the conference dose OF cold
water and little of the old-time UNI
progressive medicine when he declar-
ed bluntly that he was glad that his
State had abolished the State board
OF immigration. and that the immi-
grafton had been undesirable and
should not be encouraged.
| Governor Hadley, OF Missouri. took
issue with this procurement and put
his state on record by saying that II
wished all the Enumeration It could
get and would work hard and late
to get 1t. The speech OF Governor
Hadley made a greet Impression on
the people OF Baltimore. and has been
much discussed today.
During an automobile tour Of the
city, the Western party made a stop
at the Fifth regiment armory. where
certain OF the visitors were invited to
express their views and reasons for
coming East. The selected orators Of
the occasion were Burks, OF North Da-
kota; Norris, OF Montana, and veasey,
OF South Dakota. Finding that he

Brown. begged Governor Wesley to
say few words for San Franchises

electrified both Brown and the. entire
party by repeating almost verbatim
the eloquent Grafton Mr.. Brown has
delivered along the New York Gem
trail and Pennsylvania lines.
The agencies at work for the ex-
position have not been idle on this
trip, and Mr.. Brown has been en-
thusiastic over the encouragement he
hi sreceived from high authorities.
notably in the interest displayed by
the President and Governor Dix.
Voyage Down the Bay.
The afternoons festivities were con-
fined to a voyage down the bay. with
luncheon on board. This was the oc-
visiting governors, including Croth-
ers. Of Maryland, and Harmon. Of
Ohio. This is the second time Gov

governors since they left st. Paul,
and he promises to be very much In
evidence when the special train
reaches Columbus next week.
The browning glory OF the day was
the banquet given to the visitors by
the Greater Baltimore Committee at
the Hotel Belvedere. The honors OF
the evening were accorded to Speak
er Clark and Mr.. Underwood. Of Ala
bama, who came over from Washing
ton for the special attention.

tons now imposed by its Seen Pines
franchise. In other words. he sus-
pected that r., L. and r. line would
be nothing more than the Virginia
Railway and Power Company, except
that IL would bear another name.
strong exception to these remarks
WAS taken by MIR. Hiram Smith. spe-
ciai counsel for the petitioners. Mr..
Smith said that Mr. Powers had re-
peated this charge so often that 1t

ter Mr. Smith insisted that there
was no further need to deny 1t.
Forward TO Teddy.
In the course of his remarks. Mr..
Powers said something to the effect
that commercialism was getting such
strong hand on the people that it
was even standing in the way of pro-
pagation of the race. In this connec-
ton, he quoted Mr.. Smith as having
said at a previous meeting Of the
committee that people on the Seven
Pines line, who couldn't afford to pay
ten cents to get into the city. had bet
ter stop having children.
In reply, Mr.. Smith suggested that
Mr.. Powers remarks as to race sui
eide be incorporated in the minutes
of the meeting and a copy sent to
former President Theodore Roosevelt.
Whereupon everybody laughed.
Favor the Project.
Mr. Adams and Mr.. Haddon. speak
ing for the ordinance. as members
Of the committee. contended that the
commercial advantages to the city OF
JnhY nd hnt
construction of the Urbanna line were
too great for the interests Of a reIa-
lively small number OF people to
block the project. While they both
sympathized heartily with the people
along the Seven Pines line they be-
lieved these people should be willing
to sacrifice their personal and private
interests to some extent.
The Seven Pines line extends from
Twenty-ninth and p streets to Seven
Pines, distance Of about seven miles.
An extension of about forty miles will
be necessary to reach Urbanna, which
is in Middlesex county. To get to Ur-
hanna. the line will have to traverse
parts of Henrico, Hanover. King Will
liam, King and Queen Contiguous
counties are Lancaster, Mathews and
Gloucester.
robertson Gives Assurance.
Mr.. John G. Robertson, promoter Of
The new line, said last night after the
meeting that the intention of his
company Is to operate steam freight
trains on the line, while gas-electric
cars will be used for passenger traf-
fic In all probability.
Terms of the proposed purchase
from the Virginia Railway and Power
Company have not been divulged,
though counsel for the petitioners says
that any one desiring to ascertain
| them can easily do so by calling at his
Office.
