GOVERNOR CRAIG
REJECTS FREIGHT
RATES SUBMITTED
Decides After Long Conference,
That Reductions Submitted Are
Not SufficientHints at Legisla
tive Retaliation;
RALEIGH, Aug. li The proposal,
of tha railway comDanies doing inter-1
siiv ircisui uunnm 111 nviiu
lna submitted through the corpora
tion commission to Governor Craig for
settling the differences between the
shippers of the state and railways, be
cause of rxcessive rates to North
Carolina points, compared with Vir
ginia cites rates, is rejected by the
governor as a result of the conference
here today In which the governor,
the legislative freight rate commis
sion, the corporation comntisson and
the council of state participated. Tho
general Impression Is that there will
be no further negotiations , of conse
quence untl the legislature meets,
3eptember 24.
Significant Speech.
In a significant speech closing the
conference Governor Craig sajd. he
v aa mtiAt.d a.t thn unanimity In the
conference on the proposition that tho!
proposal lliould not De accepiea. iv
Is also significant that ths governor
did not allude to the fact that were
th widest sort of differences a to
what sort of an adjustment would be
acceptable.
John C. Forester, of .OreensDoro,
In the closing moments of the con
ference, declared that there is not
wisdom, in a irmltiMide of council on
freight rates; that somebody had to
taka th aitiiaiinn Ui hand and fix It
and then Vok the people of the state
In the face ami say, "We dia it me
Kf a.-iM " Nribodv could fix a
scale that would satisfy everybody.
E. J. Justice, tbe legislative com
missioner. Made the isignllicant state
ment: "No doubt tho railways will
regret that the state has Jurisdiction
over a number of things."
Tha flnal afternoon's session of the
conference was a long and especially
spirted one, and In declaring tne nnai
adjournment Governor Craig said it
was a matter of congratulation that
substantial reduction have been
offered. " . I
Ha uH the Beanie want 1ce and
he want peace, but Just reductions
have not been offered. The railways
ere narformlns greater service for
Virginia cltle for a far less rats than
for a fair less service," this, too,-under
the terms of the proposal being re
jected. He subscrtbed to the "long and
hnrt haul doctrine." but he could
not subscribe to the contention thst
lower rates could not be accordca
t.nrdr nnl.it In this state. He de
clared that if the reductions proposed
would save the people of me state a
million dollars on freight, he was
sure that really Jus reductions would
save five million dollars, and he could
tut light for entire Justice.-

Federated Societies in' Ses
sion at Milwaukee Pass
Resolutions.
"TANGO" IS SCORED.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 1!. Immoral
dances, antl-Cathollo press reports
and the action of mine owners in
Lead. 8. D., were scored today in
the adoption of resolutions during the
afternoon session of tha American
Federation ef Catholic Societies.
Delegates representing the three
million Catholic members of the va
rious societies voted unanimously to
telegraph Mrs. Phoeue Hearst, of
Pleasanton, Cal.. mother of William
Randolph Hearst, as chief owner of
certain mining properties in Lead; J.
B. Hagjin, of. New York, as resident
of the same, and to F. J. Guerr, of
Lead, superintendent emphatically
protesting against conditions in Lead,
which tbe federation claims, impedes
the work at religion and which has
caused Bishop Joseph . Busch, to
be exiled from the See city of his
dlocose.
In hfll speech yesterday Bishop
Busch said the miners were not al
lowed the benefits of Sunday rest and
that when he protested to Mrs.
Hearst and other mine owners he was
subjected to such criticism that he
was forced to move front, the seat
of his diocese. As a result of this
speech the social section of the com
mittee on resolutions favored mak
ing a protest and the convention fav
ored the move. The 'Tango" and
kindred dances were denounced as
injurious to the morals of the young.
The convention decided to petition
the president - and co'4res asking
that the United States make a vigor
ous protest against the despoliation
of the church properties In Portugal.
The report of the social section of
the resolution committee was made
by Chairman F. W. Immekus, of
Pittsburgh, and went on record as
favoring the labor unions so long as
they did riot mix in. politics and ex
erted .their influence only toward the
.'betterment ot the working man from
, He wanted it understood that he
was willing to meet th railways In a
spirit of compromise and endorse
rate not as low a Virginia cities, but
he must have something "near to
it." He noticed that the term of
the proposal suggested that in th
event ' of repectlon there should be
another conference with the officers
of the railway. He wa willing to
meet ehem and would be in Raleigh
for the purpose and sincerely wished
for an adjuitrmyit satisfactory to the
people.
Regretted to Disagree.
The governor said he regretted to
disagree with J. Allen Taylor and the
Wilmington delegation that whatever
adjustment 1 made th relatives rate
between Wilmington and the interior
must be maintained. He safd Presi
dent Finley and Captain Thorn, of
the Southern, assume that ' there be
appeals to court of equity, "but we
Drnooae to a uveal to that court oi
equity, the general assembly of North
Carolina, which will exercise Juris
diction rightfully and righteously as
to many matter.''
E. J. Justice, peaklng for the legis
lative commission, opposed - accepting
the proposal that road might be put
on the proposed rates without ac
ceptance. J. Allen Taylor, of Wilmington,
protested against the rate being put
on even voluntarily by the railways,
as this would ruin Wilmington, and
If on protest from the Virginia cities,
the Interstate commerce commission
should readjust the rates, ' North
Carolina shippers would still be In
as bad position a at present He
insisted that port rates will have to
Kettle these ratea It interior points

that the carrier knew the proposal

MONEY FOR FARMERS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Banks
which borrow or loan money for spec
ulative purposes will be denied any
portion of the 150,000,000 of govern
ment funds about to be deposited In
the national banks to assist in moving
the crops and the entire amount will
go to Institutions that earnestly strive
to meet the currency demands of the

-This policy of the treasury depart
ment was announced today when Act
ing Comptroller of the Currency Kane,
in connection with a cal for the con
dition of national banks at the close
of business August 9, asked every na
tional bank In the country to report
detailed Information of all money
loaned or borrowed. Upon the basis
of this data, expected to be available
in time for the distribution of the
$j0,000,000, the treasury department
will aim to dfferentlate between the
banks which borrow or loan in con
nection -with speculative operations or
are chronic borrowers and those who
endeavor to relieve financial strain
wherever It exists.
Information of this character, It was
announced, will now be regularly ob
tained by the comptroller of the cur
rency as a feature of his calls for the
condition of national banks in order
that the treasury department may
know what sections of the country are
in need of additional circulaton at
various periods of the year. .
The forms which have been in use
for years are being studied with a view
to further steps to obtain detailed In
formation. The information collected probably
will be available to congress for use
