SECRETARY OCCUPIED ALL DAY
AT TELEPHONE
Every Incident Of Gathering Flashed
to White House-Mrs. Taft Shows
Great Interest in Hus-
bands Chances

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. June 17.-With ev-
cry incident in the gathering at Chi
cago flashed to them on direct wires,
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft kept in constant touch today
with the Republican national conven-
ton, had a brief conference and each
wound up the afternoon by driving into
the suburbs while the convention was
still in session.
All day long the wires brought news
of what was transpiring In the conven-
ton. There We're direct telegraph cir
cults from the convention hall to the
executive Office and the private office
of Secretary Taft and long distance
telephone In Mr.. Taft's Office as well.
The secretary maintained continuous
communication with the convention
leaders. Telephone and telegraph ope-
rators were in charge at the Chicago
end of the wire and no move was
made on the floor of the immense hall
that was not almost simultaneously re-
ported to Washington.
Become Disinterested
Apparently disinterested in the clos
ing hours of the days proceedings,
President and Mrs. Roosevelt drove
from the White House late in the aft
ernoon to the vicinity of Rock creek,
northwest of the city, where they
mounted horses and cantered over the
smooth bride paths amid the wild
scenery that characterizes the park:
They left just after the great ovation
to Mr.. Roosevelt had exhausted itself,
following forty-five minutes of contin-
ued cheering.
The president received bulletins from
the convention while dressing for his
ride and after Secretary Taft. who had
come to see him while the excitement
in the Coliseum was at its height, had
gone back to the war department.
| Mr.. Taft also went driving without
waiting for the convention to adjourn.
| Mrs. Taft manifested her keen inter-
est in the Republican convention pro-
ceedings at Chicago today by joining
the secretary In his private Office and
getting at first hand the reports from
Chicago
Heard Demonstration
| 1t is said tonight that President
Roosevelt was an actual listener to
| the wild demonstration of enthusiasm
which greeted his name in the con-
, vention today.
| Hanging ten feet above the heads
of the delegates and Immediately in
front of the platform are four black
discs, looped by wires and Joined by
small central cable leading from the
hall. Many have wondered at these
discs, and believed them to be a part
of the system for electrical display.
| As a matter of fact the discs are a
combination of telephone and phono-
graph, taking up the proceedings as
they occur. and transmitting each
swell of oratory and each throb of
enthusiastic applause.
According to the reports tonight.
one of these wires was cut into the
White House early this afternoon and
the president in person, with the re-
ceiver to his ear, caught the words
of Lodge as he electrified the vast as
semblage and the echoing shouts
which ebbed and flowed for full forty
| five minutes

that just as soon as the Montana was
taken over and made a part of the
Milwaukee system. the rate of 3 cents
q mile would be established and that
Lewlstown would be made a common
point. This vas all that was desired,
and there was, therefore, nothing be-
fore the commission to act on.
However, President Gum of the
Montana railroad was called upon for
an expression of his attitude, and he
announced positively that the 3.ceut
rate would go into effect with the COM

pie to the railway, Austin W. War;

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through
the kidneys once every three minutes.
Tho kidneys filter the blood. They work
might and day. When healthy they re-
move about 800 grains of impure ma tier
daily, when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood This
brings on many diseases and symptoms
pain In the back, headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel
disorders OF the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits In the urine, etc.
