DENIES STORY OF TAFT BOOM.
Roosevelt Tells Senator Hansbroueh
Of His Meeting with Deneen.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota, after
talk with President Roosevelt Tues
day. quoted the president as denying
in toto the story that at his confer
ence with Gov. Deneen of Illinois last
Saturday he had preached the Taft
boom for the presidency.
II want to know as a friend if this
story is true" said Senator Hans.
brough to the president, and the re-
ply was:
"As friend you have right to
know"
"The president then said," contin-
ued Senator Hansbrough, that there
was no mention of politics at the con-
ference except as to the Chicago
mayoralty campaign; that Secretary
Taft's meeting with Gov. Deneen was
entirely accidental, though none the
less cordial, and that there had been
no mention of the Taft BOOM"
Senator Hansbrough spoke as one
with authority to make known the
presidents wishes. The Chicago &
Alton bond issue, alleged to be in
contravention of its charter issued by
the state of Illinois, and the relation
of q. H. Hartman thereto, is under
stood to have been the most impor-
tant matters discussed between the
president and Gov. Deneen.

Japs into the San Francisco p.lJ:..
schools by terrifying California sena-
tors and representatives in congress
with a war bogy. The Californians
seem to have been as badly scared
about war with Japan as the Bos-
tonese were scared about our skirmish
with Spain in the spring and summer
of 1898. During those sultry days
when president was making in Cuba
no genuine Bostonian went to his vir-
tuous couch at night without expect
ing to be shelled out of his bed before
morning. To be consistent the presi-
dent should forthwith order the SUI
preme court of Connecticut to reverse
that decision and should then order
that barber to shave that "cullud
gemman." Such proceeding would
not be particle more high handed
than his caper in the California school
case.
