Conference of Farmers' Delegates.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph

WoonviTji.H, July 17

The conference of delegates appointed throughout Hawke's Bay, Wairarapa and the West ,'oast, to discuss some scheme whereby the farmers might obtain better prices for their stock, and general improve ment bo effected in the eisting condition of things, commenced at Woodville ho-day. Between seventy and eighty delegates at tended.

Mr A. Perry (Masterton) was chairman. He said that the object for which they were met was one which had been discussed throughout the bush districts and Waira rapa, and he was pleased indeed to see so many fanners who took an interest in their business. They were met together not to talk over their troubles, but to try to for nnilnta some scheme to get out of their troubles.

The provisional secretary, Mr W. Nicholson, read correspondence from the Wellington Meat Export Company, the Gear Company, the Waitara Freezing Company, Nelson Bros. (Ltd.), the North British Freezing Company, and the Ch ristchurch Meat .Company, concerning the proposals.

The chairman said that the only letters they need consider were those of tbe Wai tara Company and the Wellington Meat Export Company. He was rather disap pointed with the latter, as he had expected something fuller, but he understood that tho directors were prepared to go much further to meot the wishes of the farmers. He had this from the chairman, Mr Buch anan.

Mr H. D. Buchanan (Woodville) moved that a New Zealand Producers' Association be formed, with the object of increasing the price of fat stock, particularly in the North Island; that the Freezing Coro panics be asked to cease buying and freeze solely on account of the Association, the Association taking the sale of frozen meat into its own hands, and in the event of the Association failing to come to terms with the Freezing Companies' steps be at once taken to induce the Belfast Company or other companies to undertake the establish ment of freezing works in the North Island on the same lines as at Belfast works, and failing such an arrangement that steps be at once taken by the Association for the establishment of works of its own, and that a representative committee be formed to-day to give effect to the above.

After the motion had been seconded, and Mr Hollett (Hawke's Buy), Mr Vile (Eke taauna), and Mr Nevoman (Rangitikei), had spoken, a telegram was received from Mr Buchanan, chairman of directors of the Wellington Meat Export Company, stating that they intended increasing their capital by £100,000, and allotting the shares amongst country settlers who were non shareholders.

After several had spoken, the chairman moved an amendment that they approach the Freezing Companies first, and failing a satisfactory arrangement, then form an Association.

After discussion, Mr Buchanan agreed to strike out the last portion of his motion, which then read " That a Meat Producers' Association be formed."

A committee was then appointed to for mulate a scheme, which will be reported to the general meeting to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock.

Woodville, July IS

The Woodville Conference was resumed to-day. The Committee appointed yester day submitted a report that a co-operative freezing company be formed with a capital of ,£200,000 in ,£5 shares, to be called the N.Z. Meat Producers' Association. The report was adopted. Provisional directors' were then eleeted»as follows : —Messrs Jolm Martin,Wairarapa; W. Perry, Masterton; H. D. Bmhanan, Pahiatua ; Duvis, Wai pa wa ; T. Hallett, Huwkes Bay; John Davies, Otsiki ; Donald Fraser, Manawatu ; D. P. Buchanan, Eangitikei; Thoma3 Duncan, Wangaheu.

INTERPROVINCIAL.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.

Auckland, July 18 The Thames fishermen who supply a large quantity of the fish for the Auckland market, strongly opposed the application for the resumption of trawling in tho Hau raki Gulf. They claim these trawlers have depleted the beds, disturbed the fish, and considerably reduced the local supply. Since the trawlers ceased operations owing to the withdrawal of the Hauraki Gulf from the proclaimed area the catches art) gradually increasing, but it is estimated it will take three years before the Gulf be comes as prolific as before. A. petition to Government enunciating these arguments will be forwarded. Roger Eddowes, found in the, water at .• 1..;™1.t „.„„ «.,«J U ~.,1:.,.,™ 3

H^denies it was a case of attempted suicide, lm says he was fishing and grew sleepy, and fell overboard. Wellington July IS The Appeal Court gave judgment on the preliminary points in the action against the Assets Company, holding that the fact of all the other natives interested not having joined was no bar to proceeding, and that it was too late now to apply for other interested parties be joined in order that they may be bound by the judgment in the present action, Mr Bell moved for leave to appeal. The adjourned case will be gone on with on Monday,

A HOTEL LICENSE.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.

Wellington July 18

The matter of the status of the Central Hotel license at Blenheim, pending an appeal to the Privy Council to reverse the Supreme Court's decision quashing it, came before Judges Denniston and Edwards to-day. The appellant, the licensee, desired to keep the license in existence pending the appeal, lest the quashing might mean to be treated as non-existent at the next licensing poll. The Court expressed the opinion that the quashing order should not be kept in the oftlce as suggested, but that it should be made. If the appeal is successful the license must bo treated as having never ceased to exist. Leave was granted to appeal direct to the Privy Council.

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph

Wellington, July IS

At the Racing Conference to-day it was agreed to add rule 79 to the proviso that the jockeys may be required to produce their licenses to the clerk of the scales, and rule 96 was amended so that races started before the appointed time shall be run again. It was resolved to draft a rule making it clear that in case of any dis qualified person training a horse during a period of one month prior to the date of nomination, such horse, would be dis qualiiied ; also that no disqualified person may be* employed to assist in training. At; the Racing Conference provision was made for licensing stable servants, and it was made fclear that club's could grant relief from the Provident Fund to the widow or family of trainers or of jockeys. A fine of £5 was made compulsory in a case of a horse running with wrong colours up. It was resolved that gentlemen riders can apply direct to Racing Clubs for certificates, and that it be a recommendation that fees so received go towards trophies for events won by gentlemen riders.
