' WITH RAILROADS Nothing Apparently Will b Done to Hinder Them Will Not At- -' tempt to Fix Anything Defl ; nite--Hearingt. Beverly, Masa., 'July 1 President Taft bad a long talk today with Cbajrs man Knapp, of the Interstate Com njerce Commission, regarding the ad ministration of the new railroad 'rate law. At the conclusionof the' inter view it was niade plain that the added authority given to the Commission by the nt'w statute is not to be used ar bitrarily or for the purpose of hin 'dering the railroads In the conduct of their legitimate business. The power to suspend new rates probably the most direct weapon - placed In. the hands of the Commission is. to be used only in exceptional cases. ' " ! Chairman Knapp told the President that the Commission already had re fused an application under the new law for a suspension of increased rates on horse vehicles and automo biles. He said that there was nothing on the face of things to show that the new rates were unjust or unreasona ble. v . ; . The Interstate Commerce : Commis sion will uot .attempt to fix .definite rates for the railroads and the power of a suspension will be applied only to r8tes when a, preliminary hearing gives indication that they are exces sive. In all such contested cases the President was informed, the commis sion will endeavor to arrive- at ,the facts at the earliest possible moment and it' is not believed that in any lease will It ' be necessary to avail " Itself of the full limit of 11 months allowed under tiie law. cation, that some of the big-railroads have been : considerably .worried' as to the extent and the monner in which the rate regulating clauses of the new law would bo employed by the commis sion. ' Stock manipulation in " Walt Street had been informed were trying to trade upon this doubt and to make the most of the situation to their own advantage. It can be authoritatively stated that it was never Intended that the new law should be a club or that it should be the means of profit taking pby, "bears" in the , market. ' The commis sion will not t'fun amuck" and will do nothing to, jeopardize the interests- of investors." There has been talk of a possible fright among European inves tors and the embarrassing results that might corao from throwing over stocks at crop moving time. But the Presi dent sees nothing In the situation to warrant any such views. The new law is being. "tried out." The President feels that it is in the hands of a conservative body of men. .It was at his request that Chairman Knapp came to Beverly today. Mr. Knapp left for Washington tonight. Mr. Taft was pleased to find that toe commlasipn already had its plans well mapped out and that Its views of me new iaiuie comciae morougniy j with those of the. framers of the bill. It is felt that it would be a great impediment to the railroads to have every new rate suspended and - put through the 11 months period of deter mination, as to its reasonableness. Chairman Knapp discussed this fea ture of the law with the President and cited the refusal of the commission to suspend the automobile and vehicle rates as an indication that the power ot suspension is not to-be used indls-. criminately, . ; :: ' 'The commission is anxious -that there shall be as little friction with the railroads as possible and Presi dent Taft is anxious hat nothing shall be done to menace the prosperity of the railroads so long as they comply with the terms of 'the law. . ,. Further. Information regarding the interview between President Taft and' Col. Roosevelt yesterday tended to confirm the reports of last night that the visit was almost wholly- of a per sonal and social nature. , ' , ' ' '. The President and the former Pres ident, did talk , politics briefly, but it "was agreed between them that they "would iot discuss - their meeting, in any way. ". ' .V ' ' ..' - . As one who was , present put It. to day, "we all Bat around in a ring and had a mlght good time, The Colonel told many Interesting stories of his experiences abroad, both in Africa and Europe, v We found that he had lost none of his characteristically vig orous and picturesque power , of de scribing individuals and situations and his visit, ws a joy to us all.' ; The growth of the peace movement in Europe was discussed. But it; Is said today that " the International Peace Commission"' authorized under a recent act of Congress,' was not tak en up in detaij; It is pretty thorough' ly understood, however, that 1f ; Mr.' Roosevelt cares to head this commis sion, the appointment will be bis. r V .

His decisive def eat in both the "Senate an the As sembly b the Republican organiza tion has created a situation which I may force him to take an active part in the, politics of both the State and Nation '; ' v ' f' Almost before the gavel had banged the end of the special session of the Legislature today the members1 who shared with him the lost cause of pri mary legislation, were - planning; to make him leader of theparty in th State, whether he wants to be' or not. They point to , the : fact that once ne plunges into the contest in the State, he will be .involved in he politics of the Nation, owing to the prominent part which New York, State fs expect ed to play In the Congressional cam paign of the Fall. . The Republican organization moved swiftly, and smoothly today in finish ing in the Senate the work It. began in the Assembly. Less than two hours after-the organization men had start-, ed up Capitol Hill this morning they were victorious and were coming down again. The Cobb direct nomina tions 1)111, known as "Roosevelt bill" was put to death with 25 votes to 19 against, 26 votes being nee'essary for it to.' pass. The personality, of Roosn velt failed to hake the set purpose of ,the organization and Roosevelt sus tained .one of- jthe ''tffiff defeats -of his career .

Roosevelt Talks, t New York, July 1. Although silent km his arrival here, Col. Roosevelt told on the train while coming from Boston how he had been drawn into the direct primary fight ' "I had fully made up. my mind not to interfere in any . way with legisla tion pending before the extraordinary session of the Legislature, he said, "until I met Governor Hughes at Har- ard. ''-He urged upon me the.impor ance of making some definite state ment as to how I stood on the direct rimary bill. He told me that silence n my part might be construed as in icating that I was opposed to it." "What have you to say regarding the defeat of the primary bill for which you expressed approval?" the .;oionei was asKea. ii o UUTTi I CUUCU. 1 ( to UVb " " . Col. Roosevelt explained clearly just what his attitudp is toward Governor Hughes. . "If s this way about the Governor," he said, "It had been re ported that J had directly asked him to resign from the Supreme Court and run again' for Governor. That report was manifestly false. I could not make such a request of . a man. I believe Gov. Hughes Would be. the ideal can didate." for the Governorship, but I could not so reflect upon the dfgnity of the Supreme Court as to urge him to give it up." : LYNCHING W A3 FEARED.
