D., Sept. 28.—(P)—Gov- ernors of eight middle western states have accepted an invitation by Gov-! ernor Gunderson of South Dakota to] i a conference to be held in Sioux Falls October 28 and 29. Questions affect- ing the economic and industrial wel- fare of the people in this area will be discussed. Governor Gunderson will lay no specific subject before the conference believing that the questions should be propounded by all of these to at- tend the meeting. He feels, however, that certain matters cannot help but reach a discussion because they are well known mutual problems, These include freight rates, the inherit- ance tax question, agricultural pro- blems and waterway. development. PLAN MEET Formal announcement of the con- ference carries out a suggestion Gov- ernor Gunderson first broached to several State executives at the Norse- Centennial-in St, Paul last summer. His proposal met with such a ready response that he immediately laid plans to bring a number of other governors to the meeting in an en- deavor to widen its scope to effec- tiveness, Sioux Falls was chosen as the lo-. cation because it was suggested by a number of the Goevrnors as the most accessible city in this state. The Governors who have accepted are Erickson of Montana; Hammill of Towa; McMullen of Nebraska; Chris- tianson of Minnesota; Sorlie of North Dakota; Baker of Missouri; Trapp of Oklahoma; and Paulen of nsas, Two other Governors are urder- stood to have ‘been invitd but ac- Contancen have not yet been received ere.

The case is one of the most im- portant from a North Dakota stand- point now pending before the com- mission, E, M. Hendricks, traffic ex- joard, said. It resulted from the action of the carriers last July in proposing to substantially increase such rates. The application 1 | Was suspended on application of the state railroad board which will rep- resent the state at the Minneapolis hearing. Classes 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. - membacehere tS | NEWS BRIEFS | ——_____—_—_—__+ Commander Lansdowne’s wi- dow is invited to testify at Lake.

From the re- ports of officers, our present! 4, knowledge of the collision, and the} atements of passengers, as re- ported to us, it is clear ‘that the; y of Rome either: 1.

Praise Sub Crew “There is no evidence to show or! reason to believe that the officers of the S-51 did not handle their vesset properly as was expected of officers of their training and experience. It is undoubtedly the truth that the lubberly handling of the City of Rome after the collision, the failure of her searchlights and the slowness with which her boat reached the points where the men from the S-51 were in the water was responsible ‘The survivors claim to have been in the water for one hour and fifteen minutes before they were picked up. ‘There can be no excuse for such de- lay.” Company Silent Boston, Sept. 28.—(?)—Llewellyn Wildes, port agent of the Ocean Steamship company, declined to comment today on the statement by Lieutenant Commander H. A. Flani- gan, executive officer at the sub- marine base at New London. When his attention was called to the portions of the statement charg- ing that the City of Rome was in- competently handled and that this 1 | suspended for the time was responsible for the loss of at least ‘three lives, he remarked: “Anyone is at liberty to express his opinion about the matter. 1 have no comment to make. It is probable that there will be no further state- ment from the company today re- garding the collision.” BIRD UNTIES SELF Manchester, Eng.—Oliver G. Pike, student of bird life, reports seeing a bird untie itself from a noose trap. The noose was around the bird's Jeg, and after seeing that the harder it tried to get loose the tighter became the noose, the bird, a merlin, stop- ped, and deliberately untied the string, liberating itself. Imitation ostrich plumes are made from bone, found in the mouth of the Dowhead whale. Weather Postpones New London, Conn., Sept. 28.—U) Advices to the submarine base here ut noon were to the effect that con- ditions of sea and weather at the lity of the S-51 wreck were so bad that rescue operations had to be being. R. 1, Sept. 28.—(#). ve found one of the inter- s of the sunken Submar- bent, but not pierced, a radio di received here from the wreck said. The message did not make clear whether the com- partment was forward or aft. The compartment was described in the message only as an “interior” bulkhead. Rough weather was being experi- enced by the rescue parties, accord- ing to radio messages. Two slings were under the submarine and an btempt was to be made shortly with 00 ton derrick to lift it above the surface, See Rescue Hope New London, Conn., Sept. 28.—(4) -+Belief that the submarine, S-51, funk 14 miles east of Block Island Friday night, when rammed by the City of Rome, might be ri d to- was expressed by officers at submarine base here. Favorable conditions were necessary, how- the officers said. Although every effort was direct- toward rescue work only slight was held that of the 33 ed hope men who went down with the craft any 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 received at the submarine base during the night from the vessels on guard and at work where the 8-51 went down, That message, received by wireless, } told of the futile effort to hoist the by means of a 100 ton crane. It also deepened 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 divers were at work at the scene of the wreck yesterday and last night. They succeeded in get- ting a line under the stone of the submarine and a 100 ton lift was brought to bear on the undersea vessel by the crane. The crane was drawn to the wae ter's edge when the cable tightened nd almost capsized the crane, N impression was made on the $. however, believed to be embedded in a bane of sand at the bottom of the an. Crane Fails Afer the failure to raise the sub- marine little could be done until a larger crane, capable of a 200 ton lift, which was on its way from New York this morning, arrived, A short time after receipt of the. wireless message, the Chewik, a 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 oficers were taken by steamboat inspector: NEW SLAYING STIRS HERRIN Bullet-riddled Miner Found Dead on Doorstep Herrin, Iil., Sept. 28.—()—Evi- dence gathered by Williamson county authorities in connection with the slaying erday of Otis Clark, union miner, today pointed to a li- quor feud.
