Gov. Charles s. Deneen and Attorney
General William II. Stead, Of Illinois,
spent two hours with President Roose-

at once for the West. Their conference
was very little enlightened by anything
that the two IIlinoisans would say after
its conclusion. ana no statement was
made from the White House concerning

Significance has been attached to this
meeting because il came at the time
when the Presidents railroad policy mas
been much under discussion. II was
first assumed that Governor Deneeu was
summoned here by the President i
connection with the contemplated con-
ference of the President with a group
OF executives Of large railroad systems.
As a matter Of fact. assurance has
been given that there was no such rela-
tionship. and that Governor Deneen was
asked to come TO the White House about
some matters Of mutual interest to him
self. and the President as men closely
interested IN pending public questions.

President is understood to have been

been presented, in differing aspects. to
both of them. AS the national execu-

while Mr.. Deneen, as executive OF the

the States side.
The President has lately been urged
to array himself on the side Of people
who believe the States should entirely
go out of the business Of railroad regu-

lutiOnary sort. 1t has excited much dis
