SWEDISH MINISTER ALL RIGHT
OmeiAl Denial that He Has Offended
the Government at wash
tnHton.

WASHINGTON, June l4,-At the White
House today it was denied that DR.. Her
man lie Lagercrantz, the Swedish minister
to the United states, has become persona
non grata to the president. The sugges-
ton that DIT. lie L~agerkrantz had used his
Influence too openly to prevent swedes
from emigrating TO the United States be-
cause their services were needed by him
self and other large employers Of labor.
n that this action had offended the ad-
ministration, II was declared. was heard for
the first time in connection with this
rumor. At the Swedish legation II was
stated hat the minister had gone home on
a visit and while there had temporarily
been employed in other Official duties, but
his return to Washington was fully ex-
pected.

COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS
Probability that Senator FuIton VIII
BE at It's Head.


CHICAGO. une i3.-Preparations being
made by the 'alies" to carry to the Gre
dentials committee OF the convention Of the
fight for seating of their contestlng aelega-
tons in spite OF their defeat before the
national committee, is stirring the Taft
forces to unusual care in the selection Of
members OF the credentials committee from
state delegations In their control. They are
sparinE no effort to prevent the overturn-
Ing Of the decisions OF the national commit
tee. Frank II. Hitchcock, who a charge
OF Mr.. Taft's interests before the national
committee. said today that he was not APP
prehensive OF the result. but at the same
time he would depreeate a renewal OF hos
Titles which savored In the least Of bitter
ness and fractional feeling.
The selection OF a chairman OF the GRE
dentials committee is being given careful
consideration. Harry NJ Daugherty Of
Ohio was believed 10 be the candidate OF
the Taft management, but opposition 10 his
selection developed today. II developed on
the fact that there are contests from Ohio
and the argument that IL would be bad
politics to name as chairman a man so pro-
Taft as Mr.. DauEherty confesses to be.
Another reason given Is that Mr.. Daueh-
erty he mentioned as a possibility for the
senate TO succeed Senator Foraker and his
selection might engender the IN feeling OF
those who are favorable to the reelection
Of Mr.. Foraker.
IL Mr.. Daugherty Is eliminated II IL be-
lieved the Taft forces will give their sup
port to Senator Charles W. Fulton, who
heads the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from oregon.
Mi. Fulton eannot be charged with beina
unfrisndly to the interests Of the aliies. lie

HITCHCOCK URGED FOR CHAIRMAN
That Gentleman Himself Thtnks the
Move Premature.

wv
CHICAGO. June 14-Letters urging Sec
rotary Taft to appoint Frank II. Hitchcock
as manager OF his campaign for election in
the event OF his nomination for the presi-
dency by the republican convention were
mailed today by more than half OF the
members of the present national committee.
The expressions in regard TO the selec-
ton OF Mr.. Hitchcock we're made on an In
timation from Washington that advice
would be acceptable on the question OF Sc
lecting a chairman for the next national
committee and most OF the letters had
been mailed before Mr.. Hitchcock was APP
prised OF the action taken by his friends.
When told tonight OF the letters having
been sent to Secretary Taft, Mr.. Hitchcock
said.
II regret very much that my friends have
seen TT to take such action at this time.
1t has been the opinion all along that the
question OF selecting a MANAGER for the
campaign could we'll wait until the nomi-
nations have been made"
That there IL opposition to the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Hitchcock as chairman of the
national committee Is conceded by that
sentleman's friends. The name or Senator
Crane. is heard often in connection with
the chairmanship and there are a few
members OF the committee who are seeking
to have Chairman New retained in the
position. The selection. however. has been
thought to rest between Mr.. Hitchcock and
Arthur l. Vorys. who has been. Identified
with Mr., Taft's campaign ever since he
first announced his candidacy. Mr.. vorys
has a large following in Ohio and former
Governor Herrick, the present committee
man from Ohio, aud Charles P. Taft. the
brother Of the secretary, were believed to
be committed to the Ohio man. Since the
contests wer settled before the national
committee. Mr.. Taft. 1t Is said, has not
attempted to influence Secretary Taft in
making a choice.
Before deciding to send letters to Seere-
tary Taft urging the designation Of Mr..
Hitchcock as his choice for the chairman
ship, members OF the committee who were
favorable to the election OF Mr.. Hitchcock
as chairman held a conference. First It
was proposed that the members again join
in an appeal to the secretary in behalf OF
Mr.. Hitchcock. This war opposed for the
reason that II seemed to be contrary to the
wishes Of Mr.. Hitchcock as expressed by
him when he upset such a plan several
days ago. II was suggested that members
individually send letters to Secretary Taft,
each reciting the reasons that particularly
appealed to him as to the selection of Mr..
Hitchcock. This plan was adopted.

buildings which have been built IN wash
ington during the last four years there Is
the home of the Daughters Of the American
Revolution and the future home OF the
Bureau OF American Republics. the sift OF
Andrew Carnegie. which has Just been
started. But the greatest change will he
found In the appearance of the Treasury
department Itself. The east front Of that
structure is ornamented with thirty Ionic
columns built up OF Virginia freestone.
The main walls behlnd these columns are
Of the same material. The winds and the
rains OF fifty years have caused this ma.
terisl to crumble and more than a year ago
congress decided TO rebuild the main por-
ton OF the east front by substituting granite
faclngs for the freestone and granite mono
liths 30 as TO make the whole front con
form In appearance to the two ends, which
were added to the original building.
Six of these monoliths are In the city at
the present time and the remainder have
been d~uarried and are now being dressed
The task OF removal has already begun and
before the end OF the current year II Will
have been completed. The original treas
ury building was completed I'm ls4o, but II
was not until fifteen years later that the
wings were added and then more than
a quarter OF a century passed before adj
ditions in the form OF Easements, Sub
cellars and approaches were added. Up to
the present time the building has cost
about SI.OO0.0Oo and the rebuilding OF the
east front and substitution Of granite mono.
liths for the sandstone Ionic columns will
add $4,000 more to the total cost.
sleeping Car Rates Next.
Although the so-called Hepburn rate bill.
which became a Law more than a year ago,
provided that the sleeping car companies
and express companies shall be regarded
as comnon carriers thereafter and as such
shall be brought within the purNiew Of the
Interstate Commerce commission. that body
up to the present time has formulated no
regulations affecting the express and sleep
ing car business OF the country.
The commission. however, has been gath
ering facts concerning the rates and dis
ordinations made by these companies and
within a short time the public will learn
they have some rights which the corpora
lions controlling these utilities are bound
to respect. The facts in REGARD to the
sleeping car companies will be particularly
interesting when made public. II is learned
that the commission has gathered a mass
OF information which shows there appears
to be absolutely no system in the method
OF fixing rates, For Instance 1t IL pos
slble to so to Chicago from Washington
for $40 II the passenger buys a ticket
half way and then renews his right to
occupy his berth for the remainder Of the
journey. But II he buys right through he
is compelled to pay 50 for like accommo-
dalton. This is only one instance called
to the attention OF the commission TO the
injustice OF the present method OF charging
by the sleeping car company and II Is one
which will be remedied with many similar
when the regulations are formulated. %

the train he came over to the majority
and declared thai he. would vote for the

The arrival OF the delegation gave i'm
mediate impetus TO the vice presidential
boom Of Frankiin Murphy OF New Jersey,
who was asserted by them to an ideal
choice for the second place Oh ne ticket.
New England delegates became a feature
OF the crowd late today. Massachusetts,

Long. one OF the four delegates-at-large.

Long. which Is a~ttributed to his fear OF

good deal OF comment owing TO The hard

Confmftteea.
CHICAGO. June 14,-It was announced
at the Tart Headquarters here today that
United States senator lillian Warner of
Missouri Will be chosen chairman Of the
convention committees to make ntotifica-
tion to the presidential nominee 81 has Sc
lection by the convention; that former
Governor John +. HnI Of Maine would
be preferred 10 head the convention COM
mittee on permanent organization and that
United States Senator Charles w. Fulton
Of oregon was being most favorably con-
sidered for the chairmanship of the Gre
dentials committee. These selections de-
pend, Of course, upon the success of the
plans OF tha Taft forces to ~roganlze the
convention and are regarded as indicating
the confidence felt in that quarter that
their strength predominates. The selec-
ton Of Senator Warner to head the notifi-
cation committee Is regarded of more
than passing political Importance. The
senator is past commander-in.chief In the
Grand Army OF the Republic. a veteran
who saw service through the civil war
and represents a doubtful state. senator
Warner Is q close personal friend and adj
mirer OF the secretary or war, and should
the conversations fulfAi the ambition of that
official. the ADDRESS appftsinE him of that
fact would undoubtedly contain express
sions intended TO clear the atmosphere of
any suggestions of clouds which may have
been in the horizon since the secretary's
Memorial day address at Grant tomb.
Tn intended Compliment to aoyernor
Hill emphasizes the appreciation felt to-
wards what Is regarded as an original
Taft state. Mr.. Kills work during the
contest hearings bygthe national commit
tee was most efficient and earnest and
his bearing and personality is said to have
won for him many friends. His ability
TO head the important committee on per-
manent otGanizatioh rs conceded.
The c~redeptials committee ehairrnanship
is a matter requiring and receiving most
careful confederation Senator Fulton's
availability IL recognized from many
points OF view. He Is not only entirely
familiar with each Of the contested cases
before the national. committee. out he
heads a delegation which comes TO the
convention without a single contest. Be-
sides this. hia appointment would be ex-
tending to the northwest one OF the deli

this means and the only sufferers would

prived of the services of men of stand
ing in the community whose wealth

ditions back of the bank itself.
This argument has scarcely been
answered before the committee. Sew
eral witnesses have testified that in
their opinion some restriction might
be safely put upon the amount of loans
to directors and officers in addition to
the limits set by the present law, and
that legislation can readily be devised
to increase the responsibility of direc-
tors.
The principal argument against the
La Toilette amendment. and the one
which has induced the house leaders
to throw ii over without hesitation, is
the fact that it is a permanent alter
alton of the existing banking system
and has not the slightest possible bear
ing upon currency issue. and especially
in a measure designed only for emer-
gencieS.
