TAFT BACK FROM OHIO
Refuses to Discuss PoliticS-No Fear
of Serious Trouble an Cuba.

Washington. May Secretary Taft returned
10 Washington to-day and was at his desk at
the War Department at the beginning of busi-
ness. Mr.. Taft was among the Presidents earli-
est callers. He remained only short time, and
then returned to the War Department.
Can you say anything about Ohio politics? ''
he asked.
NO. he replied Il have nothing TO say"
The Secretary was asked whether he intended
TO accept the invitation TO attend and deliver a
speech at the millers' convention at St. Louis.
May 30, but he said he had not yet reached a
decision. Il have lot of work on hand and I
want TO get down TO business" he said. he
hurried away.
MIR. Taft said that he had been to Ohio and
returned in the same frame OF mind as when no
left Washington-that is. he determined to
say nothing whatever about politics. He had
found here large accumulation OF work. much
of 1t the outcome of his Southern trip. involv-
ing the reduction to form of data gathered by
him and the preparation of orders and instruc-
lions to give effect TO the various changes that
he had decided TO make particularly in the case
of the canal work. AS 70 Cuba, something re-
mains TO be done there. He had no apprehen-
sion whatever of any serious trouble resulting
from the disturbances at Santiago. and he felt
confident that the Cubans entertained only the
kindest feelings toward the Americans. He had
instructed Governor Magoon TO make a prompt
investigation OF the Tacoma incident which the
Governor appears to have anticipated, and with
out doubt justice would be had he said.
Secretary Taft expects to remain quietly at
work in Washington until the middle of the
month. when he will go 10 New Haven to at
tend the annual meeting of the Yale Corpora
ton, of which he is a member. One OF the first
subjects to engage his attention to-day was a
letter from Colonel Goethals. chairman OF the
1sthmian Canal Commission relative to the de-
mand OF the steam shovel men and other me-
chanics for increased pay and other conces-
slons. Secretary Taft had personally listened to
the representations Of the on this subject
and already had made up his mind as to what
action to recommend the President to take
when Colonel Cocktails requested him to defer
action until he could himself report on the sub
ject. Although the Secretary was not prepared
TO make this report public, IL was evidently of a.
nature to cause him TO modify his original rec
concentrations. for he announced he was going
to discuss the report with the President and IL
probably would be time before he would
be able to announce a decision.

1gright Measure.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


Albany. May L-Governor Hughes signed the
day. The act provides for investigating COM
mittee of nine members, three 10 be appointed by
the Governor, three by the temporary President of
the Senate and three by the Speaker OF the Assem-
bly,.
This committee is TO ascertain the exact state
changes necessary for its increased eff
ciency. An important point OF the bill is the
vision OF the military code. The committee Is made
partly legislative for the especial purpose of hav-
ing some men in both houses who are familiar
with the needs Of the militia and will be capable
Of advising the houses intelligently any Ma
tional Guard legislation that may be introduced.
The three appointments OF Governor Hughes to
the committee will in all probability be from re-
tired regular army officers, men thoroughly famil-
lar with military affairs. Assemblymen Vain
Speaker Wadsworth. His third appontee has not
yet been decided
The Investigating committee will report the re-
suits of its investigation to the Legislature
year.
This investigation is not undertaken in any hos
tile spirit TO the militia. Assemblyman VAIN
wright, who is the introducer of the bill is a
former officer OF the National Guard and has fire.
quently said that he believed the investigation
would be in the nature of vindication of the
Guard and would be welcomed by its officers and
means OF relieving II of the criti-
cism to which the Guard has been subjected be-
cause OF the Wendell and similar cases.
Tammany politicians have attempted TO make
political capital out of the bill and have fought
its passage from the time It introduced.

Buffalo, May Friends of the utilities bill say
tonight that the vote by which the Buffalo Cham

TO REPEAL ELSBERG ACT.
McCarren Ball Considered Bad Piece
Of Legislation.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Albany, May SENATOR McCarren intro
iced a bill to-day to repeal the Elsberg amend
ment to the rapid transit act passed last year
by the united efforts Of the civic organizations
of New York City after hard fight with the
traction interests.
The McCarren bin is considered by representa-
tives of civic clubs that in Albany to-day
one Of the worst pieces of legislation that
has been introduced in the Senate this year
"and that is going some" one Of them remarked.
II IS regarded playing directly into the hands
of the traction companies.
1.-The repeal OF the Eisberg act has become
necessary said Senator McCarren to-day on
introducing the bill, because under the present
act no bids for the construction Of new subways
have been made. Consequently there will be
subways unless the city itself takes the
matter up the Esberg act is repealed
Practically the same argument was made by
the traction interests which fought that measure
last year. Under the provisions of the Elsberg
law bids may be submitted for the construc-
ton, operation, or equipment Of subways, or
all three. The traction interests asserted that
no bids would be submitted unless for the three
divisions of the work collectively

UTILITIES BILL DELAY.
Speaker Sees No Possibility of Re
porting 1t at Once.
by Telegraph TO The Tribune.

Albany, May 1.-Work on the public utilities
bill at a standstill to-day. Assemblyman
Merritt, chairman Of the Assembly Railroads
Committee, left early this morning for Buffalo,
and will not be back until tomorrow night at
the earliest In the mean time, practically moth
ing will be done
II see no possibility of reporting the bill this
week." said Speaker wadsworth tonight. TT
seems to me that there are many points that
require careful consideration and elaboration
that the bill can hardly be in shape for report
ing until time next week"
A Republican leader in the Assembly said the
question of permitting railroad companies 20
issue short time notes. not over twelve months.
was becoming a difficult one to solve.
Il believe he said, that railroads ought TO
be allowed to borrow money without the consent
of the commission under certain restrictions.
The amendment suggested by the Railroads
Committee is not satisfactory TO me. 1t goes
as far in one direction as the original bill in an
other. Under this suggested amendment road
could each year borrow large sums of money
and give twelve month notes to secure them
At the END of each year they could have these
notes renewed, until eventually the situation be-
came such that the road would go to the COM
mission and say 10 it, You must allow us 10
issue stock or bonds to cover these notes or we
will go in the hands of a receiver On the other
hand, it is absurd to force a road to get the
consent Of the commission every time it wishes
to borrow a hundred dollars. 1 have not had
time to go into this question thoroughly. but
think a plan like this might prove feasible; Al
low the roads to borrow money on short term
notes. but the sum thus borrowed must not
exceed say, per cent of the capital stock OF
the road"
Friends OF the Governor believe he will never
consent to the short term note plan as sug-
gested by the Railroads Committee Indications
tonight that a compromise will be offered
Governor Hughes. and II is hoped by Republican
leaders that this will prove satisfactory. If IL
does not. the Assembly Committee will eventu-
ally withdraw the suggested amendment but
when the bill goes to the Senate it Is thought
this point will be bitterly contested. Corpora
ton representatives likely to insist on the
amendment IN its present FORM and will oppose
the last any effort to change it. In their
position they will be backed by Senators Grady
and Raines and probably Senator Aids.
A change in the phraseology Of the bill by
which tho operation Of the Long Acre Electric
Light and Power Company would be permitted
talked Of to-day, and the change would
have the approval Of the Governor. This would
furnish a rival to the present lighting trust in

THE recent decision of the Court of Appeals"
says the message of the Governor, makes it

the matter since the adoption in 1904 Of the

marking the attack on the act of last year,
which attack was sustained by the Court Of

Under these circumstances II is the obvious
