Proposition Is Advanced at Fifth Annual Congress of Governors Calculated to Bring Financial Pros perity to Farmers.
PRIVATE CAPITAL
 IS TO FINANCE
Governors of All States Will Be Asked to Ap- prove and Legislatures to Enact Measures PrOvid- ing Uniform Law.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATCH]

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 6.-The fifth
 annual governors congress adjourned
 here late today to meet informally to-
 morrow President Taft at Washington
 to discuss rural credits. The congress
 will meet next year at Colorado
 Springs The governors adopted
 resolution intended to sound the knell
 of the time-honored mortgages on
 farms and pressage the advent of a
 new financial era for farmers.
 The resolution is intended to lead to
 the establishment of a new system of
 state banks to be governed by nui-
 form state law The banks, under the
 resolution are to be financied by priv
 ate capital and be able to issue bonds
 on short or long terms upon American
 farms in lieu of mortgages.
 Myron T. Herrick, ambassador to
 France, addressed the conference upon
 this topic, as President Tafts represen-
 tative and said that thrifty people of
 France and other European countries
 are ready to invest their savings on these securities.
 The resolution provides the appoint ment of a committee of five governors to draft the plan of a bill covering the ground. The bill must be submitted to the governor of each state in the union and upon the approval of two- thirds 1 of the executives will be sent to the ] legislatures of the various states for 1 enactment.
 The conference unanimously repudi- ated today the recent utterances of Governor Blease, of South Carolina. 1 concerning the lynching of negroes. By a vote of 14 to it adopted a resolu ton declaring against mob violence and advocating the importial enforce ment of the law. Four of the gover- 1 nOrs. who opposed the resolution, de- l clared themselves as strongly endors- l ing the purpose of it, but voted No" 1 because they thought they haG no right 1 to reprimand their colleague.

 the resolutions would neither keep | him from the governors chair, nor a 1 seat in the United States senate.

 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 6.-Seven words embraced in the phrase, 'pret- ty hard to do anything to it. were produced in the government trial to day of the accused bomb plotters as evidence that Herman c. Self fert, Of Milwaukee, was implicated with the McNamaras in the dyna- mite conspiracy.
 Seiffert, one of the forty-one labor union officials charged with using explosives on non-union jobs, had waited weeks to testify and was on the stand less than twenty minutes explaining the phrase. He said it did not refer to the dynamiting of a hoist and steamer, at Milwaukee, on March 16, 1911, but meant it was difficult to unionize the job. The phrase was found in a letter written to John J McNamara by Seiffert, who was then acting as business agent of the Iron Workers Union of Milwaukee He denied previous knowledge of the dynamiting which was one of McManigars jobs.
 Bedding, also a defendant, testi- fled that members of the Milwaukee union wanted to work for a con tractor on local job, but that Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the in Jernational union. forbade them to unless the contractor was induced to employ only union men on his jobs throughout the country. This result ed in a proposal that the local un- ion withdraw from the internauonaL said the witness, and an appeal was taken to allow the unions every where to work locally regardless of the general strike. called in 1905, which was still on.

 II did not"
 Bedding said in response to de- mands from the Indianapolis head quarters he sent information about the construction work at Clinton, Iowa. which was afterWard blown up He said McNamara required him to forward newspaper accounts of the explosions at Milwaukee and Green Bay, Wisconsin.
