TAFT CONFERS
WITH KNAPP
Administration of New Rate
Law Is Discussed.
POWER TO SUSPEND LIMITED.
Calling Off of Increases Only to Be
Used In Exceptional Cases Author
ity Not to Bt Used Arbitrarily or to
Hinder Legitimate Business of the
Railroads.
Beverly, Mass., July 2. President
Taft had a' long talk with Chairman
Knapp of the Interstate commerce
commission regarding the admlnlstra-
tlou of the new railway rate law.
At the conclusion of the interview
it was made plain that the added au
thorlty given to the commission by the
new statute is not to be used arbltrar
ily or for the purpose of hindering the
railroads in the conduct of their legit
lmate business. The power to suspend
new rates, probably the moBt direct
weapon placed in the hands of the
commission, is to be used only In ex
ceptlonal 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 unreason
able. The interstate commerce com
mission will not attempt to fix defln
ite rates for the railroads and the
power of suspension will be applied
only to rates when a preliminary hear
ing gives indication that they are ex
cesslve.
Further Information regarding the
interview between President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt tended to confirm
the reports that the visit was almost
wholly of a personal and social nature
President Taft expressed regret to
several of his callers over the defeat
In the New York assembly of the
Cobb direct primary bill, which wai
advocated by Governor Hughes and
publicly endorsed by Roosevelt.

Failed to Win.
A good story of a good thing which
went wrong is told of John Woster.
He started out yesterday on a walk
to Oreapolls for a prize of $2 which
he had wagered with one of hU
friends that he could cover the ter
ritory between this town and Oreap
olls in one hour and forty minutes.
Including a return to the city. That
is going some but John is some fast
man on his feet. He took the pre
caution to take his shoes off and do
the stunt in his bare tootsle-wootsles
which is some stunt with the ther
mometer at 95 above low water mark?
and the sun working over time. John
was a game lobster, however, and
walked the entire distance, losing
several pounds in weight in the pro
cess. He failed to win the goal, how
ever, and fallod by a measley ten min
utes which he could Just as well as
not have made had he been so dis
posed. He was some peeved over
the outcome, and the boys had them
some laugh at his expense. Hit
feet haven't been heard from this
morning but they have to pay tb
cost of the trip In the long run.
Going away or staying at home or
the Fourth? dress yo'T feet In a
pair of our cool, trim looking, sum
mer shoes. We show many choice
