Senator Ken waa the laat man to stand cut against thl action, but on the train be came over V the majority and declared thai. h. would vote for the ecretary of war.-. Th arrlvar of the delegation gave Im mediate Impetus- to th ' vice presidential boom of Franklin-' Mqrphy of New Jersey, who was asset ted by them to an Ideal choice for -the aecond. place o ne ticket. New England delegate became a feature of the crowd late today. Massachusetts cam in with only ex-Governor John V. Long, on ef th four dlegatev-at-larg, and three alternate missing of a full delegation. The absence of ex-Oovernor Long, which I 'attributed to hi fear of th Chicago climate, wa th eubjecit of a good deal of comment, owing to the hard fight prevlou to th tat convention, in whlche he strongly wppoeed hi selection. Th entire Masaachuaett delegation will vet on th first ballot for th nomina tion ef Governor Curti B. Ouira of that state for vtoa president. The Bay 8tat delegate, however, expressed great in terest 1 Representative Sherman. They wer more surprised. It appeared, that Governor- Guild' name wa not, aa they expressed It, "more prominent In the vie presidential dtacuaalon."

HITCHCOCK lltflED rOR C HA I KM That r.entleman Himself TbinkS the ' Mora Prematare, CHICAOO. June l4.-ltter urging Sec retary Taft to appoint Frank H. Hltchcork manager of his campaign for election In the event of hla nomination for the presi dency by the republican convention were mailed today by more than half of the member of th present national committee. Th expression in regrd to the selec tion of Mr. Hitchcock were made on an In timation from Washington that advice would be acceptable on the queatlon of se lecting a chairman for the next national committee and moat of the lettera had been mailed before Mr. Hitchcock wa ap prised of the action taken by hi friend. When told tonight of the letter having been ent to Secretary Tft, Mr. Hitchcock aald: "I regret very much that my friend hve een fit to take uch action at thlt time. It ha been the opinion all along that the queatlon of selecting a manager for the campaign could well wait until the nomi nations have been made." - - That there la opposition to the appoint ment of Mr. Hitchcock a lchlrmn of the national oommlttee la 'condeded by that gentleman's friends. The name rf Senator Crane Is heard often In connection with the chairmanship snd there ar a few member of the committee who are seeking to hv Chairman New retained In the position. . The selection, however, hat been thought to rest between Mr. Hitchcock and Arthur I. Vorye. who has been- Identified with Mr. Taft' campaign ever since he first announced -hla candidacy. Mr. Voryt ha a large following In Ohio and former Governor HerYlck. the preaent committee man from Ohio, and Charlos P. Taft, the brother of the secretary, were believed to be committed to the Ohio man. Since the contesta wer settled before the national committee. Mr. Taft, It I said, ha not attempted to Influence Secretary Taft in tnak'ng a choice. Before deciding to aend letters to Secre tary Taft urging the designation of Mr. Hitchcock aa hi choice for the chairman ship, nlembers of the committee who were favorable to the election of Mr. Hitchcock a chairman held a conference. First It waa proposed that the member again Join In an appeal to the eecretary In behalf of Mr.- Hitchcock. Thl ws opposed for the reason that It aeemed to be contrary to the wishes of Mr. Hitchcock a expressed by him- when he upset such a plan several day ago.' It waa suggested that members Individually send letter to Secretary Taft, each reciting the reasons that particularly appealed to him a to th selection of Mr. Hitohcock. This plan waa adopted. TAFT . PI.ATFOHM IS APPROVED Committee oat Reaotatlem Will Resort It Wltaoat Awieadment. CHICAGO, June 14. Those who are di recting th Taft force her ar respon sible for th announcement of two impor tant development today respecting th platform problem. Oae la that Senator Albert ' J. "Hopkins ef this stale will be chairman of the reso lution committee, sustaining previous ten tative predictions. The other, that the Roosevelt-Taft platform will be adopted in the. precise form In which It waa ap proved' In Washington before being brought to Chicago by Wade Ellis, who compiled the document under the Instruction of a conference recently held at the Whit House. ..Thes announcements followed a four hour conference between Mr. Ellis and Senator Hopkins, In tho office of the lat ter.' at the Woman's tempi building here. The deductions from the statements are regarded aa both Interesting and Impor tant. The first i that Senatqr .Hopkins would' not have been ' assured the chair manship of the committee had he not given his unqualified approval to the platform. The second Is that In view of his close relation to Senator Aldrlch and the con servatives In the party the tenator haa t-ecognlted that the Taft force ar In com plet control of the situation and are able to dictate In advance the terms of mem bership on the resolutions committee. It may also be Inferred that Senator Hopkins found the varloua planka of the platform to evidence the policies of the Roosevelt administration, and In thl respect con etltutlng a document on which the party may well go before th voter of th country. It la not denied that ther ar ome plank in the platform a at present written which would be modified if th opposition to Secretary Taft had It way. These relate to the pronouncement on the use of the Injunction In labor dispute and the plank which will Indicate th length to which the federal government should go In the control of railroad capitalisation and operation. That rapid progress is now being made In determining the personnel of the resolu tion committee I admitted. It la th tact that thla progress now indicate the complete control of the committee by the Taft element that make the announce ment of chairman and Ultimate action poa- slDle at thl time.

June 11 Preparation being made by the "allle" to carry to th ere dentlal committee of the convention of the fight for seating of their contesting delega. Hons in spite of their defeat before the national committee, is stirring th Taft force to unusual car In th selection of members of the credentials committee from state delegations In their control. They ar (paring no effort to prevent the overturn ing of the decision of th national commit tee. Frank H. Hitchcock, who had harg or Mr. Taft a Intereata before the national committee, aald today that h wa not ap prehensive of the result, but st th same time he would deprecat a renewal of hos tilities which savored In th least of bitter ness and factional feeling. The selection of a chairman of the ere dentlala commute 1 being given careful conalderatlon. Harry M. Daugherty of Ohio wa believed to be the candidate of the Taft management, but opposition to hi election developed today. It developed oa the fact that ther ar conteat from Ohio and th argument that It would be bad politic to nam a chairman a man so pro- left a Mr. Daugherty confess to be Another reason given I that Mr. Daugh erty is mentioned a possibility for th senate to aucceed Senator Foraker and hi election might engender th 111 feeling of those who ar favorable to th re-election ofMr. Foraker. If Mr. Daugherty la eliminated It la be lieved the Taft force will give their up- port to Senator Charle W. Fulton, wh heads the delefcatlon-at-larg from Oregon Mr. Fulton cannot be charged with beln unfriendly to th Interest ef thl alii. He haa not been regarded aa an administration senator; neither hea he Incurred dlspleasur- with President .Roosevelt and member of hla cabinet on administration questions which have come before congress. COMMITTER BFHEtTJ ATTACKS C'halrmaa Xew ar Contest Were Decided m Merita. CHICAGO. June 14. No question has given so much worry to themanagemcnt of Secretary Taft canfildary for the presi dency aa the crltlelem that the Taft dele gatea were placed on the temporary roll of the convention by the 'steam roller" process. The term "eteam roller" as ap plied to the decisions of the national ,com mlttee Is resented alike by the membere of the committee listed against Taft and for Taft. Senator Scott of West Virginia, who h been aa much opposed to the nomination of the eevretery of war, by reason of hla preference of another candl- date, aa any member (if the committee, in , sprnklng of the settlement of the contest aid today: "The fact 6f th matter I that as honor- ble men there wa no other action for the member of the committee to take. The allies" brought their cases before ua poorly prepared. Yjften they had no case at all on which to base a contest. The other side came before ua with case care fully prepared, and having able lawyer to present their arguments. It Is not right to say that th committee wa prejudiced In favor of Mr. Tft." Chairman New, whom no person would charge with being In favor of the nomina tion of Secretary Taft, aald: The truth la tho 'allies' did not have their cae well In hnd, but I do not think Major Fred C. Bryan, general couneel for the 'allies,' can be charged with tne lame nee of th evidence. I think he did re markably well considering the evidence given him by the men who had charge from the various states. The committee waa uis- posed to help the 'lllea' wherever possible nd tried to make case for them In aome Instances, notably the two Virginia dis tricts. The 'allies,' however, failed uttefly In many Instance to present proof of their allegations." Similar vlewe have been expressed cy Senators Crane and Heyburn, both Of whom ave been opposed to thi nomination of Secretary Taft. Naturally the eecretary' backers are . united In defense of the ac tion of the committee. Senator Lodge, who eat a a proxy throughout th conteate. 'eaid: "I do not see In reviewing the work of the committee how the caae on their merit could ave been decide differently. I am not conscious of a single case In which I should hav voted otherwlae than as I did If I had no Interest In any candidate whatever or hd been opposed to Mr. Taft. The great bulk of the southern cases, which, constituted the maee of the contests, were utterly frivolous and ought never to have been brought before the committee. Then the Taft case were admirably planned from beginning to end, the argument were legal, the argument wer complete, the ev idence wa full. A a rule, on the other Id In the southern cases no facta were urniehed and Instead of legal arguments the committee waa obliged to listen to tump speeches which had no bearing on the cases whatever. In the few northern Contests both aides were well presented and war decided strictly on their merits, in my opinion, as possible. The committee gave half vote in Louisiana to the con testant, although the Warmoth delegation clearly had a legal case, because that del egation In speeches and declarations had drawn the race line In a manner which the republican party cannot tolerate. In th am manner th committee seated two Foraker delegatea In Virginia. In one of the Ohio districts the contest was so close that I. myaeltmoyed to divide -yt he delcga,-, tion between the' Taft and Foraker men.' The Taft men won In nearly all the con teats for the' Simple reaeon "that their op ponents, as a rule, presented no case what ever, offe. ed declamation Instead of argu ment and demonatrated by their own pre sentation that the contest were frlvilou and In many case apparently manufactured as an afterthought." A. M. Stevenson, the member from Colorado and a Taft worker aald: "Each party to these contests was given the full time allotted by the rules of the committee without regard to the' merits f his case. More thsn 90 per cent of the contests were determined by a viva voce vote and with practical unanimity. In no contest caae waa there a roll call. Many of the contests were of the moat frivolous character and. It waa shameful to take the time of the committee for their consider ation. In every caae where aeats were awarded to friends of Secretary Taft, the contest were decided strictly on their meV Its snd In most of the cases where his opponents were seated they were seated without having a title from the regularly constituted authority of the party and for the reason that - the committeo wa on posed to anything tainted with 'Lily Whl.e- Ism.' " National Committeeman E. C. Duncan of North Carolina declared that the hearing of th conteat had been marked with !m partial Juetice. "Nothing could have been fairer,'' declared Mr. Duncan. Soma of the case that were presented wer so flimsy that th presentation of them to th oom mlttee wa arrant nonaenae, but notwith standing all that, in every Instance they were heard throughout and efforts were even msde to contruct a respectable case out of the fragment presented." Ther were ll seat Involved In the con tests before th national committee, but It Is not thought that one-half that num ber will be carried to the credential com mittee.

But the greatest change will be found In th appearance of th Treaury department Itself. The east front nt that tructur la ornamented with thirty lonlc columns built up of Virginia freestone. The main wane behind these columns are Of the same material. The winds and the rain of fifty years have caused this ma terial to crumble and more than a year ago Congress decided to rebuild th main por tion of the east front by substituting granite facings for the freestone and granite mono lithe eo as to maks the whole front con form In appearance to the two ends, which were added to the original building.

Although the so-called Hepburn rate bill, which became a law more than a year aeo. provided that the sleeping car- companies and express companies shall be irgarded as common carriers thereafter and uch shall be brought within the purview ef the Interstate Commerce commission, that body Up to th pTesent time has formulated no regulations affecting the express and sleep ing cay business of the country. Th commission, however, ha been gath ering facts concerning the rate and dis crimination mad by these companies art.t within a short time the public will learn they have torn right which th corpora tion controlling these utilities are bound to respect. The facts In rcgaro to th sleeping car companies will be particularly Interesting when made public. Jt la learned that the Commission lias gathered a mass of information which allows there appears to be absolutely no system In the method of fixing rates. For Instance: It Is pos sible to go to Chicago from Washington for $4.80 If the paaeenger buy a' ticket half way and then rrnewa hie right to occupy hie berth for the remelnder of the Journey. But If he buys right through he I compelled to pey $S for like accommo dation.
