Governor Gunderson will lay no
specific subject before the conference
believing that the questions should
be propounded by all Of these to at

ance tax question, agricultural pro-
blems and waterway development.

ference carries out suggestion Gov

response that he Immediately laid
plans to bring number of other
governors to the meeting in an en-
deavor to widen its scope to effec-
tiveness.
Sioux Falls was chosen as the To-,
cation because it was suggested by
Il number of the Gocvrnors as the
most accessible city in this state.

Iowa; McMullen Of Nebraska; Chris

Commissioners Sees
Mexican Bull Fight

S. A. OlSness, state insurance COM
missioner, has seen his first and last
bull-fight. He feels that he had
more than he wants Of Spain's favor
ite sport in one experience at Ma
tamoras, Mexico, recently.
The bull fight in question was ar
ranged as part of the entertainment
for the delegates to the convention
Of Insurance commissioners of the
various states which was held re-
Gently at San Antonio. Texas.
Although he uses the term sport,
man really gives the furred and fea-
thered creatures nightly little sport
ing chance, in great many cases,
Olsness said, but he believes bull
fighting is the worst of the lot. The
expression of the opinion bv insur-
ance commissioners, he, said, was that
bullfighting Jared their sense of
fairness and impressed them as any
thing but sport.

FIX FREIGHT
RATE HEARING
Increases Cover Commodities
in Less Than Carload
Lots

Notice was received today by the
state railroad commission that the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
assigned for hearing vt Minneapolis
on October 10 Of the case involving
increases in freight rates on various
classes of goods between Western
North Dakota and Minnesota points
and points in the middle west.
The case is one of the most i'm
portant from North Dakota stand
point now pending before the COM
mission, +. NJ. Hendricks, traffic ex-
pert for the board, said. 1t resulted
from the action Of the carriers last
July in proposing to substantially
increase such rates. The application
was suspended on application Of the
state railroad board which will rep.
resent the state at the Minneapolis
hearing.
Glasses of freight involved all
less-than-carload shipments, and
rates on iron and steel, agricultural
implements, canned goods and prac-
tically all manufactured articles.
"The Importance Of the case is
evidenced by the fact that one or
more cars are loaded at Chicago
daily for Fargo, Bismarck, Grand
Forks, Minot and numerous other
North Dakota cities for tranship-
ment from there to points of destin-
ation," said Hendricks.

GASES:
CAUSE WIDE
CONFUSION
State Commission Acts to
Clarity Public Misin-
formation

Many North Dakotans have been
so confused by the various grain
freight rate cases now pending be-
fore the interstate commerce com
mission that they mistake one case
for another, a statement today by
the state railroad board indicated.
a common mistake, the board said,
is the idea that proposed increases
in grain and flax rates from North
Dakota to terminal markets, which
the carriers filed to become ctfec-
tive August 10, were suspended for
only 80 days.
The fact is, the commission pointed
out. that all the increased rates have
been susnended until November %
and before any changes are made in
the preselt rates. public hearings
will be held and the railroads called
upon to justify any increases which
they propose. If any shippers have
paid increased rates and have not
received refunds from the railroads
they should file claims with the
state railroad board which will un-
dertake to obtain the refunds, the
statement said. No charge will be
made for the service in such eases.
List Three Hearings
Although three important freight
rate cases are scheduled for hearing
at Fargo October 10 by representa-
tive Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, two other cases now pend
ing will not be considered there, f..
NJ. Hendricks. traffic expert for the
state railroad board said here. They
are case in which the North Dakota
Fair Freight Rate Association con-
tends that proportional rates between
North Dakota points and points in
luth-Superior for trans-shipment are
too high and case in which the
South Dakota railroad board alleges
that rates now in effect in North
Dakota are preferential to those in
South Dakota. The South Dakota
body wants it's rates reduced or, fail
ing in that, to have the North Dako-
ia rates raised, Hendricks said.

New London, Conn. Sept. 2s.-LP
--Belief that the submarine, S-5l.
sunk IA miles east of Block Island
Friday night, when rammed by the
City Of Rome, might be raised to-
day, was expressed by officers at
the submarine base here. Favorable
sea conditions were necessary, how
ever. the officers said.
Although every effort was direct
ed toward rescue work only slight
hope was held that any of the 33
men who went down with the craft
would be found alive. Naval officials
say the number who went down with
the submarine is 33. as one man at
first listed as aboard, has been found
at home in New York, visiting rela-
tives.
Only one message was received at
the submarine base during the night
from the vessels on guard and at
work where the S-51 went down.
That message, received by wireless,
told of the futile effort to hoist the
Sol. by means Of 100 ton crane.
1t also dcepened the hopes of the
naval men that some of their COM
rades were still alive in the UNDER
sea vessel.
No Response
The message stated divers at work
outside the sunken submarine had
been unable to obtain a response to
their efforts to communicate with
the men inside.
Six navy divers were at work at
the scene Of the wreck yesterday and
last night. They succeeded in get
hn CT 80
submarine and a 100 ton lift was
brought to bear on the undersea
vessel by the crane.
The crane was drawn to the Va
ter's edge when the Cable frightened
and almost capsized the crane. No
impression was made on the S-5l,
however. believed to be embedded in
u bank Of sand at the bottom Of the
ocean.
Crane Fails
Afer the failure to raise the SUBJ
marine little could be done until a
larger crane, capable of 200 ton
lift. which was on it's way from New
York this morning, arrived.
A short time after receipt Of the
wireless message. the Chewik, q mine
sweeper, docked at the base.
From the men aboard it was
learned that no pontoons had been
put down in an attempt to raise the
submarine in that manner.
The City of Rome was on a return
trip from Boston to Savannah to-
day, her course including the scene.
Of the collision Friday night. Minor
damage to her hull was repaired be-
fore she departed and statements
from her officers were taken by
steamboat inspectors.

Washington, Sept. 6 L,I~-He
suming it's inquiry into the aircraft

air board was told at the outset that
army red tape hinders the work of

Major Walter G. Kilner, executive
officer Of the air service, was the
