GOVERNORS END CONFERENCE
Several Scheduled Speakers Fail to
Make Appearance.
STATEMENT AS TO RATE CASES
Governor Harmon Says Committee
Expects TO Deal only with
Legal Aspect of the
Controversy.

SPRING LAKE. N. j., Sept. 16.-The third
annual governors conference closed I'M
expectedly Friday after the conferees had
waited two hours to hear Governor Dix OF
New York, who was delayed in reaching
Spring Lake. Although the program was
to have extended through tomorrow, illness
and inability to attend on the part of sew
eral scheduled speakers led to the discovery
that there was no further business.
Fifteen governors this afternoon held
what they termed an experience meeting.
Governor Shafroth of Colorado discussed
the state prison law and other reforms in
his state and Governor Tener of Pennsyl-
vania told of reform movements in his
state.
Governors Stubs of Kansas. Wesley of
South Dakota and ONeal of Alabama made
addresses, outlining reforms recently
adopted by their respective states. Gov
ernor Dix delivered an address on taxation.
The conference adjourned to meet at Rich
mond, Va, in December, 1912.
Nineteen of the twenty-nine governors
who attended the meeting left during the
Gay and evening for home. Those remain
ing over night included Governors McGov-
ern, Carey, Spry, Vessey, Cruce and Stubs.
Governor Gilchrist of Florida announced

foremost on next years program a discus
sion On the advisabilty of having a uni
form divorce law.
Before departing Governor Harmon pre-
pared a statement concerning the newly APP
pointed committee. The statement, as
given out this afternoon by Governor Had
ley, reads:
I'm view of an apparent misunderstand-
ing by some. of the action of the conference
yesterday, it is deemed advisable that a
statement should be made as to it's exact
nature and purpose.
''As the decision of the United States cir
cult court in what are known as the Min
nesota rate cases, TO the effect that the
state Of Minnesota had no authority to
regulate railroad rates within it's own
borders Interstate commerce was thereby
affected and as other cases involving the
same question in othr states would soon
come before the supreme court of the
United States for decision, the conference
considered it advisable that a committee
should be appointed to see that the states
side OF this controversy is properly pre-
pared and presented to the supreme court.
THE committee expects to deal only
with the legal side of this controversy
and the action taken yesterday was one
Of only ordinary precaution. Every state
in the union is equally and vitality inter

NEW YORK, Sept. 16-Bradstreet's to-

Despite irregular weather conditions, cold

whole lacks snap, but nevertheless contain
lines of trade show a Strengthening or de-
mand which augurs fairly well Tor the
Jobbing trade and commission business
for spring in cotton goods has been I'M
proved by price revisions of fancy cotton
goods, made possible by the lower range
OF raw cotton prices. There is even said
to be a moderate improvement in export
trade in cotton and the yarn markets
show more confident buying. Best reports
are had from the larger markets. De
mand at the northwest has been rather
checked by rainy weather. In the north
ern half of the country retail trade gen.
orally has been helped slightly by lower
temperatures. The free marketing OF cot
ton at the south has helped trade TO some
extent in that section. Collections are
varied, but rule about fair,
In the industries reports are Irregular.
The number of idle spindles and Idle cars
is smaller than some time ago, but produce
ton still is below capacity. Iron and steel
demand varies. The railroads are reported
buying cars, but not buying rails. Prices of
finished lines of steel are being shaded
to get business, Building returns, few
cities excepted, show decreases in ag-
gregates from year ago.
