GOVERNORS WILL
DEBATE TRUSTS
Gteat Meeting in Chicago
Shortly
CHIEF EXECUTIVES” Os STATES
Will Assemble in the Windy Gity and
Discuss Important Topics
Bearing Upon the Pub
lic Weal.
CHICAGO, August 30.—A score of
governors have accepted invitations
to take part in the national confer
ence on corporations and trusts to
be held in this city next month under
the auspices of the National Civic
Federation. Among the number are
Governors Cummins of lowa, Folk of
Missouri, Hughes of New York, Cut
ler of Utah, Warner of Michigan, and
Davidson of Wisconsin.
The conference will consider the
trusts and combination problem, es
pecially tiie State and Federal regula
tion of the corporations, and also the
question of what amendment, if any
should be made to the Sherman Anti-
Trust act. The conference is intend
ed to give an opportunity for a free
and full discussion by respective men
from all the walks of life and of every
shade of opinion.
The subjects that are to he discuss
ed are divided into three classes, the
first of which deals with the Govern
mental power over corporations en
gaged in interstate commerce; the
division of power under the Consti
tution between the Nation and the
State, and the power concurrent in
Nation and State.
The second class deals with the
question of how should the corpora
tion be constructed?
Should there lie National as well
as State corporations? The basis of
capitalization of corporation, the in
ternal control of corporations, provis
ions looking t ollie protection of in
vestors and the stockholders, as well
as fair dealing with the public, and
the distinction between public ser
vice and other corporations.
The third division is to consider
the just and practicable limits of the
restriction and regulation, Federal and
State, of combinations in transporta
tion, production, distribution and la
bor. In other words, the conference
will take up the very latest phases
of the trust question, and from all
indciations the meeting will be the
most important of its kind ever held
in this country.

MANY INJURED IN GOLLISION
AMERICUS PEOPLE IN SMASEIUP ON THE SOUTHERN
John J. Hardy and Mrs. Glifford Brewton of Americus. are Injured With
Thirty Others in Head-On-Gollision.
As the result of a head-on collision
between a Southern Railway passen
ger train and an extra engine, occur
ring near Asheville, N. C., Mrs. E. C.
Brewton and Mr. John J. Hardy,
both of Americus, are reported among
those more seriously injured.
The collision occurred at 11 o’clock
Thursday morning, and the only in
formation conveyed to anxious rela
tives in Americus, was a brief dis
patch in yesterday’s Macon Tele
graph.
None of tlte Atlanta papers contain
ed an account of the collision, though
a serious one it was,.
Relatives of Mrs. Brewton and Mr.
Hardy in Americus could gain no fur
ther information yesterday, though
they anxiously sought to learn some
thing as to the nature and result of
their injuries. Absolutely nothing
could be ascertained here.

BIG RECEIPTS FOR AMERICUS
ALREADY THE THOUSAND POINT IS REACHED HERE
While Receipts Today Will Carry the Total Well Above 1.800 Bales-
August Receipts Very Good.
When August ends with today Am
ericus warehouses will have receiv
ed a total of 1,500 bales of cotton of
the new crop, even if receipts do not
reach the 1,800 bale mark. Indica
tions yesterday pointed directly to
this latter figure.
Yesterday’s receipts alone piled up
about 300 bales, and with the hun
reds here previously, added to other
hundreds due today, will make the
total very near 1,500 bales.
Such heavy receipts far exceeded
all former estimates, and shows what
Americus is doing as a market for
the fleecy in south Georgia.
Two weeks ago the most optomis
tic cotton buyers and warehousemen
did not count upon more than 500
bales in August, and these opinions
were backed with substantial bets.
As a result, many new hats will have
to be bought today.
The rains ceased ten days ago, the
cotton opened rapidly, and receipts
during that time have been unexpect
edly heavy.
And yesterday proved the “banner
day” up to this date.

Thirty people, the Telegraph’s spec
ial stated, were injured seriously,
though none fatally.
The entire list of names of the in
jured ones w r as published, and among
them appeared the names of Mrs.
Brewton and Mr. Hardy.
There are a large number of Am
ericus people in and near Asheville
and Hendersonville, spending the
summer, Mr. Hardy being with a
party of seven including the Misses
McLendon, Miss Florine West. Brown
McLendon and several others.
The names of none of these others
appeared in the published list of in

ttiat they were not seriously hurt, even
if they were aboard the ill-fated train.
Several other Georgians were more or
less injured.

his authority extending over the wide
territory from Birmingham, Ala., to
Hamlet, N. C., together with numerous
branch lines.
This position in itself is a highly
responsible one, and is filled by Supt.
Boole with much ability.
His many friends in Americus trust
that the report of his recent good for
tune will he fully confirmed today.
Mr. Boole, reared in Americus, began
here his career with the Seaboard and
has filled many responsible positions,
with that system.
He was for a time superintendent
of the Americus shops, and was trans
ferred hence to Savannah in like ca
pacity, and later to the position he
now holds in Atlanta.
out having made appropriations for
the operation of the State agricultural
college and district colleges.
In the event that the extra session
is called it will be for twelve days
only, as in this time, it is thought,
much of the unfinished business of
the regular session can be disposed
of together with the necessary appro
priation for the colleges.
The belief that the extra session
will be called is quite general in
well informed political circles.
The streets in the vlclnty of the
warehouses were blocked with cotton
wagons unloading the SBO bales, for
a big fellow of gilt-edged pedigree
will easily bring that amount.
Many big bales have brought as
much as S9O each in Americus.
And this means money; good old
easy cotton money, with some left
over after paying debts.
Many farmers, however, express fear
for the safety of the crop on account
of the long drouth of two weeks.
Forms are shedding, and no new fruit
is taken on. Not a few estimate the
damage inflicted here recently at
fully 25 per cent.
And there is the usual cry of short
i crop, with the cows pasturing in the
; cotton patch in October.
But it is this every year, yet a
• good crop is marketed. And the bales
now being sold still bring the fancy
> price of 13 1-2 cents, that is—in Am
i ericus.
In fact, several bales sold yester
day over that fancy price, even, and
' there is good prospect of even 15
cents in the future.
RACE OF THE YEAR

HJTURITY SIAKES ARE ENORMOUS
Sheepshead Bay the Mecca of the
Sporting Element This Morning
fortunes to Change Hands
on Results.
NEW YORK, August 30.—The great
Futurity, worth about $50,000, will be
run over the six-furlong straight
course at Sheepshead Bay Saturday,
the opening day of the Coney Island
Jockey Club's autumn meeting. It
is the banner event of the metropolian
racing season and always draws the
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
of the year, and this year plans have
been made to accommodate at least
50,000 people.
The Keene, Belmont, Whitney and
other prominent stables have entered
their best 2-year-olds in the classic
event, and from present indications a
big field will go to the barrier.
The favorite will undoutedly be
Colin, James R. Keene's unbeaten son
of Commando. Colih has started six
times this year and in each instance
he has been returned an easy win
uer. At no time has he been extend
ed, though on esevral occasions he
has shown a tendency to loaf. Be
ginning at an overnight event at Bel
mont Park, which he captured in a
gallop, the champion has won the
National Stallion stakes, the Eclipse
stakes, the Great Trial stakes, the
Brigton Junior stakes and the Grand
Union Hotel stakes, Incidentally tak
ing the measure of all the best young
sters yet shown, i'SIMI
This will be the twentietli running
of the Futurity, which is the largest
stake offered in this country for
horses. Os late the event has come
to most race followers outside the
regular track contingent to be the
one race of the year, to rank with the
Surburban and Brooklyn Handicap
as an event to be watched at all
costs.
The conditions are exceedingly
strict and it is by no means a cheap
race to start in, though an original
entry is not specially expensive. This
circumstance has served to bring out
the best colts of the year as a rule,
and it is rare that a 2-year-old of
real quality is barred from starting.
The field is usually a brilliant one,
and this year promises to be no ex
ception.
The stake was started in 1888 and
the very first is deemed in sime res
pects the best of the series, Proctor
Knott, defeating the mighty Salvator
in a great race, and winning a for
tune for his owner, who was acount
ed a poor man to be in such com
pany. The race in 1891, when His
Highness defeated Yorkville Belle
and Dagonet, was another one to be
remarkable rivalry for turf honors.
In 1897 came the greatest surprise
of the series, when L’Alouette cap-1
tured the stake, an utter outsider,
wholly unregarded by the wise ones
in turf form. Since then colts like
Ballyhoo, Savable, whose chief claim
to notice was a son of Salvator, Ham
bury Belle, Artful, Ormondale and
Electioneer have captured the stake,
fully rewarding the hopes of mapor
ity of the students of form.
Should Colin capture the big event
Saturday it will mean that he has won
for James R. Keene, his owner, the
enormous sum of SIOO,OOO in one sea
son. When Colin won the Saratoga
Special a few weeks ago he increased
his earnings for the season- to $59,-
555.
There are not more than a score of
horses in turf history that have won
SIOO,OOO in their entire career of rac
ing, so it can readily be understood
what a great feat Colin will accom
plish should be end his 2-year-old ca
reer with SIOO,OOO to his credit. In
fact there have been few horses that
have won $59,555 during their 2-year
old cafeers. So it is not to be won
dered that many turf critics share
Mr. Keene’s opinion that Colin is the
superior of the late Sysonby or the
great Domino.
