GOVERNORS IN PROTEST
Executives of "a States Unite in
Condemning Action of Courts
in Invasion of State Rights

SPRINGLAKE, Sept. 14.-The gov
ernors of "a states voted this after
noon and united in a protest of tie
United States supreme court agains.
what they consider an invasion Of
states rights by the federal court. Tha
decision of Judge Sanborn in TIL .
Minnesota rate case is the particular
Invasion to which the governors OBJ
ject. .t st1 ..5c
By their action the governors estab-
lished a precedent in American his
tory. Judson Harmon, governor of
Ohio, will head the committee of pro-
test. His colleagues will be Herbert
S. Hadley, governor of Missouri and
Chester H. Aldrich, governor of Ne
braska. The motion to appoint such
committee to voice the views of the
conference was made by Governor
O'Neal of Alabama. The action was
declared unanimous although Cover
nor Kitchin of North Carolina, who
alone opposed it, did so because he
said it would be departure from
the precedent
Governor Harmon supplied the Or
iginal suggestion for the plan, accord
ing to Governor O'Neal. In a sharp
debate on the measure Harmon took
no part. Aldrich's ringing denuncia-
ton of what he termed an invasion
of the rights of the states by minor
federal courts discussed at the fore
noon session, provoked enthusiastic
applause and was followed in the aft
ernoon by an address on the same
topic by Governor McGovern Of Wis
consin. -..-.-. ..-.s .-...
With the subject fresh in mind the
governors debated the question for
an hour or more before O'Neal intro
duced his motion. In a speech Aid
rich referred in terms of condemna-
ton to the decision Of Judge San
born Of the United States Circuit
court in the Minnesota rate case He
explained that the point Of the de-
cision was that it states the inter-
state rate law was unconstitutional
because it could not have been en-
forced without interfering in it's OPP
Grafton with the authority of the in
terstate commerce commission. This
he thought was clearly an invasion of
states rights
w
The O'Neal motion brought oppo-
sition from several delegates on the
ground that the expenses of the COM
mittee could not legally be paid pro
rata by the states and Governor
Stubs, of Montana. moved the ap-
pointment of a committee of three
who could employ their own states
attorneys to draft such papers as
might be necessary. Under this mo-
ton the committee was Appointed
by the conference to represent the
governors conference in this case and
to file briefs with the supreme court
to protest against Judge Sanborn's
decision. Hoke Smith. governor of
Georgia, said:
IF the decision of Judge Sanborn
becomes a law in this country the
twilight zone will so broaden that we
will never see daylight again in the
regulation of passenger and freight
rates. Once the question is decided
this way the state railroad commits
sions will be emasculated and then
we will return to that condition where
the interstate commerce commission
will have no control of interstate
rates and carriers can do exactly as
they please.

Payne & McManis Are First with
Yakima Transfer and Stor-
age Company
DAME RUMOR SAYS FIFTY
CENTS A POUND WAS BID
Prospect That Local Crop Will Be
Stored for Months Rather Than
Be Sold at Prices That Are
Now Being Offered

Twenty bales of hops from the
tanum, composed the first shipment
Of the kind for the present season.
which were brought to the city Satur-
day and stored in the warehouseof
the Yakima Transfer and Storage
company on First avenue north. The
hops of the Payne & MANS yard
are as heavy as in any yard in this
valley, probably, and are estimated to
yield more than $500 pounds of baled
hops to the acre.
Dame Rumor at Work
In the absence of actual offers, re-
fusals and sales of hops at any price,
Dame Rumor has been at work, with
the result that there are some good
stories in circulation. One is to the
effect that a prominent buyer offered
a prominent grower SO cents per
pound for his hops, but that the offer
was spurned. Any time there is
rumor going around it always has
something to do either with a prom
tiCiI boyCA Va a PAciiAhOhe SioWSAs
or both. Unfortunately, the names
could not be obtained for the pro-
posed deal at so cents, so it will have
to be left unconfrmed for the time
being.
The news of the world In regard to
hops is so generally bullish that local
growers are not disposed to entertain
any kind of proposition at present
They will now proceed to get their
hops in the bale and will thereafter
sell by sample. Some of them will
store their hops for months rather
than take less than something like SO
cents per pound. That fact is good
news to the warehouse men, for they
will thus get the advantage of pay for
the storing Of hops for longer pc
riod than is general.

"CARBONARIO" IN PORTUGAL

Badajex, Feb. 21-The recent sudden flight from Portugal of large numbers of sympathizers with the old regime is beginning to be explained. The monarchists are leaving the country under threat of assassination by the Carbonario-the secret society which was directly responsible for engineer ing the revolution.
 The heads of the present government are not members of the Organiza tion. The Carbonario consists mainly of the "bourgeois' class and of soldiers and sailors, either of the ranks or the bearers of the lower grade of commis- sions. After the revolution has been put through the society reorganiZed the necessity of giving the high gov- ernmental offices to men of higher standing than any of them possessed.
 Men like President Braga, Foreign Minister Machade, Minister of Pub lie Works Gomez and Minister of the Interior Almeida were accordingly placed in charge. The chief difficulty that these men have had to encounter has been that they are entirely de- pendent upon the good will of the Carbonario to retain office. And the society being exceedingly radical and irresponsible in it's composition the greatest trouble has been experienced by the ministry ins maintaining order and establishing a civilized govern ment without antagonfZing their sup pOrters.
 Visits to. any one of the ministries have clearly shown the remarkable character of the situation, the minis terial ante chambers swarming with leading members of the secret socie- ty-mOst of them uneducated and Of- ten unintelligent men-whose advice and criticisms the ministers have not dared to disregard and to whom they have been forced to give audience to the exclusion of callers with 1egftf- mate business to transact even inc1ud- ing the diplomatic representatives of foreign powers with which 1t is of the utmost importance to Portugal to maintain good relations.
 One respect in which the provisional government has. given especial umbrage to the Carbonario~ has been in it's re- tention in office-for the sake of their ficials of the days of the monarchy and in refusing to exile former mon- archists who have, since the revolu- ton. refrafned from interfering in politics and seemed disposed quietly to accept the new regime.
 Finding the administration deaf to it's demands along these lines, the Car bonario finally took matters into it's own hands and served notice on the objectionable individuals that they must leave the country or they would be killed. Most of them accepted the former alternative. Among those who remained a series of assassinations may be expected at any time. The government is not strong enough to oppose more than a passive existence to the society, so there is no prospects that such assassination will be driv- en to a general con6scatfon of the fug- itfves' property very soon. The places of the officials who have been forced to flee are being killed with members of the Carbonario, wholly inexperi- enced in their work, and inextricable confusion is certain to result in all departments.

that voice rings out As one loyal Democrat who votes the Republican ticket whenever it is necessary to re- buke the reformers said yesterday to @ World reporter:
 "A bunch of high-brows are not coming down to this town from New York and just because they happen to sleep here nights, expect to run our government. They can hold all the meetings they want to and cry graft, but when it comes to the vote we can beat them and not half try" "
 This hyphenated politician said that R. J. Walsh and James F. Walsh were not such bad fellows. ''Whenev- CT any of the boys get into trouble g he said, "all they have to do is to go to Jim and it's fixed up. Whats the answer?
