Boston.-At the end of a confer
ence at the Hotel Touraine lasting
nearly five hours the five New Eng
land governors present agreed upon
the appointment of an unpaid COM
mission to be made up of two citi-
zens from each state, to make an in
quiry into the whole subject of rail-
road development and operation in
the New England states.
No expression was taken as to the
attitude of the governors on any mat
ter of railroad policy. They went no
further than to agree to get all the
information possible and to suggest
| IL topics for specific study. The re-
suit of the investigation will be trans
mitted to each of the governors for
the information of himself and of the
legislature of his state.
Governor Foss's suggestions for the
creation of permanent commission
to be composed of the cna1rmen of
the commissions that regulate trans
portation in each state and for state
appointed directors of the railroads
were included among the topics to be
inquired into.
The governors were agreed Mat
there should he an early report, and
they expect that the recommendations
may be made in time for their consid-
GRAFTON by the legislatures now in
session. To accomplish this it is
proposed to appoint as members of
the conference men VINO are famil-
lar with the transportation situation.
AS the plan to create a commits
sion, which is to be called the New
England Railroad Conference, was
not developed until after the discus
sion had opened, none of the COVER
nors were ready to say whom they
would appoint.
The only absentees from the confer
ence was Governor William T. Haines
of Maine, who sent his regrets that,
owing to illness he was unable to at
tend Governor Simeon E. Baldwin
of Connecticut, by reason of senior
ity was invited to preside.
Governor VIM. T. Haines said in a
later statement that he would prefer
not to have Maine represented at pres
ent on permanent conference of the
heads of state commissions having SUI
pervision of railroads.
Following is the vote passed by the
conference:
Voted, that the Governor of each
New England state be requested to
appoint two citizens of his state as
members of a New England railroad
conference to consider and report or
the best modes of developing and
operating the New England railroad
system: the members of said con
ference to serve without compensa
ton, but their necessary expenses tt
be paid by the state appointing
them"
A copy of these resolutions were
telegraphed to Gov. Haines for his
consideration,
Matters to be Studied.
: The subjects mentioned for par
ticular attention in addition to the
general subject of railroad develop
ment and operation are as follows9
1. The estaDnshmtnt of a
, permanent conference composed
of the heads of the state COM
missions having supervision over
railroads.
2. The question of creating
state directors representing the
various New England states in
the management Of the railroad
system and the general question
of the participation of the pub
lie in the ownership or opera
ton of transportation facilities
and the, form of such participa-
ton.
; 3. The consideration of means
whereby the projected Grand

IDEA EXPLOITING.

Al time like this when Hot springs is undergoing somewhat oi a change in most every way. when 1t is entitled. or is on the verge or q shift into either the recognition to which 1t is entitled. or is 10 stand stili. there are exploited hundreds or ideas as to what should or should not De done.
 The greatest trouble is that these various ideas are not made useful.
 There are all exploited as individ- ual ideas, but not used to any mater iai advantage.
 1t has been suggested by some that q general mass meeting should De held. all the people with ideas inyit- Cd to attend, and present their ideas. and from that general welfare meet ing. probably would be cemented a future policy.
 The idea does not sound had. and certainly something should be done to bring the people together
 un April l. democratic congress will meet and take up the appropria- tion bills from which the Hot Springs Item was eliminated by the republi- can congress in It's closing hours.
 If the Hot Springs item is to be reinstated. and the improvement nee essary made here, the matter VIII nave to receive some local attention. We can nor expect Senator Clarke and Congressman Taylor. jealous as they have been for our interests. to look after us all the way unless we look after ourselves.
 This is but one thing among many on which the pnhlic support in Hot Springs should rest. We are sleep ing on our rights, ana we are ignor- ing opportunities. We have eiimlnat- cd much that has stood between the citizenship Of Hot Springs. enough in iact that there no longer should be any barrier between a general wei fare movement in. which anything Tor the betterment of the resort would De certain ot unqualified and enthus- iastic support.

as known TO science. In caused by q

The spores OF this fungus are carried

disease results. II the bark Of the trunk
