RATES UNDER TAH'S EYE
Administration of New Law Discussed
by President and Knapp.
POWER TO SUSPEND IS LIMITED
talltno- Off of Increases Only to Be
1'sed In Exceptional Cases
Tariff on I.eraon I
Lowered.
BEVERLY, Mass., July t-Presldent Taft
had a long talk yesterday with Chairman
Knapp of the Interstats Commerce com
mission regarding the administration of the
new railway rate law.
At the conclusion of th interview It wa
made plain that the added authority given
to the commission by the new statute Is
not to bo used arbitrarily or for the pur
pose of hindering the railroads In the con
duct of their legitimate business. The
power to suspend new rates, probably th
most direct weapon placed In th hand of
the commission, Is to be used only In ex
ertional cases.
Chairman Knapp told th president that
the commission already had refused an
ppllcatlon under the new law for a sus
pension of increased rates on horse vehicles
nd automobiles. He said that there waa
nothing on the face of thing to show that
the new rates were unjust or unreasonable.
The Interstate Commerce commission will
not attempt to fix definite rates for th
railroads and the power of suspension will
be applied only to rates when a preliminary
earing gives Indication that they are ex
cessive.
From time to time sine th new law
cnt into effect there have been Indication
that so mo of the big railroad have been
considerably worried aa to the extent and
ti e 'manner In which th rat regulating
lausos of the law would be employed . by
th commission. Stock manipulator in
Wall street, the administration had been
Informed, were trying to trade upon thl
oubt and to make th most of th situa
tion to further their own advantage.
It can be authoritatively stated that It
wa never Intended th new law should b
club or that It should be th mean of
profit taking by "bear" In th market
he commission will not "run amuck and
will do nothing to Jeopardize the Interests
of Investors. There ha been talk of a
possible fright among European Investors
and the embarrassing results that might
come from throwing over stock at crop-
moving time. But the president sees noth
ing In the situation to warrant any suoh
lews.
Mr. Taft waa pleased to find that the
commission already had Its plan wen
mapped out and that It view of the
statute coincide thoroughly with those of
th framera of the bill.
Suspension of Rates.
It Is felt that It would ve a great Impedi
ment to the railroads to have every new
rate suspended and put through the eleven
months' period of determination a to Its
reasonableness. Chairman Knapp discussed
this feature of th law at some length 1th
the president and cited the refusal of the
commission to suspend automobile and
vehicle rales as an indication that the
power of the suspension is not to be used
indiscriminately.
Further Information regarding the lnter
lew between President Taft and President
Roosevelt yesterday tended to confirm the
reports of last night that the visit was al
most wholly of a personal and social
nature.
President Taft today expressed regret to
several of his callers over th defeat lu
the New York assembly of th Cobb direct
primary bill, which wa advocated by Gov
ernor Hughes and publicly endorsed by
Colonel Roosevelt.
President Taft's vacation la not to begin
until after his strenuous doings of July i,
when he will motor Into Boston and atop at
several cities on the way. When he is
through with this engagement ha la to go
into seclusion for ten day.
Mr. Taft will summon bis cabinet officer
from time to time aa he reaches their at
fairs. The Navy and Interior departments
are first to be considered. Th Interior
department matter la that 'connected with
the expenditure or the IW.000,000 reolama
lion fund. - '
The president, with some friend, enjoyed
a sail on the Sylph this afternoon.
Tariff on Lemon Lowered.
WASHINGTON, July 1. Freight rate on
lemon from the producing territory In
Southern California to certain destinations
today were reduced by the Interstate Com
merce commission from 11. U per 100 pounds
to II 00 per 100 pounds. Th new rat will
become effective September L
The order of the commission waa mad
in the case of the Arlington Height Fruit
exchange and others against the Southern
Pacific company and practically all of th
railway line in the country operating east
and west. The citrus jt'rult Grower of
California attacked th rate on their
products as unreasonable. For many year
they had been payli.g a rate of $1.15 on
oranges, tangerines and mandarines, in
carload lots, and $1.00 per 100 pounds on
lemon. The railway made a lower rate
on lemon in order to encourage th pro
duction of the fruit in this country.
A few month ago the road raised ihe
rates on lemon to $1.16 per 100 pound.
Then the present case wa Instituted at
tacking the freight rates on all cltrua
fruit.
In Its decision the commission held that
th present rate on oranges from Southern
California to eastern destlnationswaa cot
unreasonable and announced, too, that if
In any case the advanced rat on lemon
had been paid, reparation to th shippers
would be awarded on th Institution cf
proper proceeding.
Th questions of refrigeration and pre
cooling charge on citrus fruit shipment
were reserved by the commission for fu
ture consideration.

SIOUX CITY, la., July 2. (Special Tele
gramsTwo beautiful flights were made
by Len C. Mars and one by Eugene Ely
at Woodland Park, early this evening, as
a part of the three days' aviation meet.
They came to late to redeem the meet,
which goes down into hlxtory as a failure,
but they thrilled the 200 people who had
been patient enough to stick It out. The
aviators have blamed the wind for previous
difficulties. The air was almost perfectly
still when theso successful flights were
made.
First, Mars circled the mile track two
times making a beautiful landing In the
center of the fiel'd with the Mars glide.
Ely followed with a perfect circle waving
to the audience below as he got high in the
air.
The last flight by Mars was the prettiest
of all. He rose above the grandstand and
above the highest trees which skirt the
park. Because of the aviators' failure to
give successful flights during the first
two day the business men s committee
ha refused to pay the Glenn Curtiss com
pany any more than the $2,000 that they
were paid before the meet. Curtiss will
have to go Into the courts to get the re
maining $4,000.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE

Market During; the
Week.
NEW YORK, July SS.--R. G. Dun' weekly
review of trade today says:
Conflicting crop news and severe de

Recent curtailment ot "output by pig Iron
furnaces failed to reduce accumulated
slocks, but there are now some signs of a
more active demand for pig lion in certain
districts. Sales at this city during Juno

tno record for any previous month of uiJ
year, although prices suttered at the ex
pense of orders. Buying by the rallroaus

attention having been directed to its in
creasing volume in consequence of the ne

In addition to tne lack of demand, the in

Copper is easier, though business has
come out in a relatively lair way. Appar

Roosevelt as
State Leader
New York Republicans Will Ask
Former President to Get Back
Into Harness.
ALBANY, N. Y., July 2.-Theodore Uooae
velt Is to be Mked to get back Into the
harness again. Ills decisive defeat In the
senate and the assembly by the republican
organization has created a situation which
may force him to take an active part In
the politics uf both the state and the
nation.
Almost before the gavel had banged the
end of the special session of the legislature
today, the member who shared with mm
the lout ciiusu of primary legislation w?re
planning to make him the leader of tne
arty In the state whether he wants to ce
or not They point to the fact that once
he plunges into the contest- in the stato,
he will be involved in the (politic ot the
nation owing to the prominent part wn.cli
New Yoik state Is expected to play lu tne
congrcsslonhl campaign this fall.
Less than two hours after the organiza
tion men bad started up Caplloi niil thla
morning they were victorious. The Coob
direct nominations, bill known as tlis
"Hoosevrlt bill," was put to death with
twenty-five votes for It to nineteen against,
twenty-six votes being necessary for it to
have passed. The personality of Koosevelt
failed to shake the set purpose of the or
ganization, and Koosevelt sustained ouu of
the few defeats of his career.
Colonel Itoosevelt' defeat was In no
sense a repudiation ot his leadership or un
indication that his power is on the wane,
thoso who stood with him say. They r.ai
a majority of the republican votes in Lot i
branches of the legislature, and It was u.ny
by a combination with the democrats that
the organization was able to win. Assem
blyman Green said he haJ already begun
preparations to carry the flglil into mu
stale convention.
Governor Hughes, although he will not
talk publicly, Is known to take a hopeful
view of the situation.
Lloyd C. Griscotn, chairman of the New
York county republican committee, to
whom Colonel Roosevelt sent his telegram
endorsing the Cobb bill with the Grlscom
amendments, had this to say:
'The first thing of all which stands out
clearly is of national Importance. If is
the consolidation absolutely of three such
men as Taft, Itoosevelt and Hughes. This
ituaiiou nus brought about sucn a condi
tion and 11 would be difficult to Imugine
a situation more hopeful to the party In
the state and in the nation.
"The prospects of the party next fall
would be seriously affected If the action
of the legislature had been- the expression
of the opinion of the majority. The point
wish to emphasize is that it was the
action of a minority of the republicans
who bolted the caucus In tho senate and
Joined with tho Tammany democrats In a
situation where broad party interests were
lost to view and nothing but personalities
emalnod."
Early for Prediction.
Speaker Wadsworth, who has led the
fight for the organisation without apolo
gies to anyone, said he had nothing to add
to Ills previous expressions ot opinion.
Asked as to his views of the probable
effect uf the legislature's action on the
political situation, his reply waa that it
wa too' early to predict the effect on that
point.
The result ot the fight in the senate was
even a mora positive refusal to accent
Theodore Itoosevelt a leadership In the
matter than that of the assembly yester
day.
The progressive inheritance tax as It wa
amended and passed by the assembly was
enacted by a vote of thirty-eight to four,
and the bill providing for an appropriation
of $25,000 for the expenses of the extraor
dinary session was passed in both houses.
The direct tax bill failed of enactment
Having been advanced to third reading In
the assembly, it was sent to the revision
committee. The measure was not consid
ered by the senate, nor did the Grady-
Frisble democratic direct primary bill come
to a vote.
The members of the legislative corruption
probe committee were appointed by the

AVIATION SITE UNSETTLED
BY CURTISS' INDECISION
Committee Expects to Act Boon
Not Disheartened by Experience
of Mars ut Sioux City.
The site for the aviation meet, which
will be held hers July will be defin
itely settled within twency-four hours. It
will be news to many people that an uncer
tainty exists about the hite, because follow
ing tho visit here .Sunday lH3l of Glenn
Curtiss, the Crclghlon pasture was sup
posed to have ber-u finally determined upon.
But since his return to the eust, (Junius
has been expressing some dlssati?f action
with this locution and declaring he would
much prefer the parade ground at Fort
Crook, If that can be obtained. The
chances nevertheless favor the grounds at
Forty-flftU. and Military avenue.
The only partial success of Mars and Ely,
pupils of Curtiss, at Sioux City Is not dis
couraging the committee or the Aero club
of Nebraska, which hns tho meet In charge,
because Curtfss, himself, nl be here and
will fly dally. Barring extremely unfavor
able atmospheric conditions Curtiss himself
has never experienced any difficulty In
making flights.
On account of the uncertainty about the
site which has arisen, Clarke Powell and
other' members of the committee have done
nothing about having a grandstand erected,
but there is plenty of tlnm yet for this
and other preliminary work.
