w ASHINGTON. - The nursery of
w Tafts boom for the presidential
nomination was room in the execu.
tive Offices of the White House
grounds. where President Roosevelt,
before he left for his home at Oyster
Bay. was shaved each work day. Here,
when the boom was green and ten
der thing, its first young shoots pushed
to the light. Here it was coaxed to
sturdier growth. Here, in full blossom.
It was talked over and admired.
Frank Hitchcock was the official and
the president the unofficial manager
Of the Taft boom. The president, at
these heart.to-heart talks with the can
didate, was in barber chair. A GER
tain White House messenger welded
the razor and lather brush. 1t was the
only part of the day when official busi-
ness did not claim all Of Roosevelt's
time. 1t was Taft's one chance to do
most Of the talking.
Even then, the barber had to be
watchful. and quick to snatch away
the brush or blade. When T. X. wants
! to talk he sometimes forgets he is be.

Taft Boom Was Born in Barber Shop

In his eye as often as he had 1t in his
mouth. The shaving of the president
and the midday cultivation Of the
boom of Taft started at p. IN. and
lasted half hour.
Taft, when he was In Washington,
often saw the president several times
in the morning. But Mr.. Roosevelt
had many things on his mind then and
no leisure. For an hour or longer aft.
er 1880 his outer Office was filed with
men who had appointments.
At the one o'clock shaving time
came the first respite. The room In
which the president was shaved is a
small, narrow one, between the presi'
dents office and that of Secretary
Loeb. 1t is used as an anteroom to
both offices. On the wall is long.
framed photograph of a squadron OF
battleships.
At this window is low-set leather
upholstered chair. Against the wall
at one side writing desk.
When the time for shaving arrived
the low, leather covered chair was
pulled out from the wall. A neat foot
rest of two steps was produced from
under the writing desk and set in front
OF the chair.
Roosevelt took his place. Then
came Taft. who pulled up another
chair alongside.
When Taft was away Roosevelt oft
en- received others in the shaving peri

APPEALS IN LUMBER CASES.
Asserted That Commission Exceeded
Its Powers.

Chicago, July 14.-Western rail
roads have determined to contest in
the courts the decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission in the
now famous lumber rate cases. This
decision was reached after several
conferences held in the Office of j.
c. Stubs, traffic director for the
Hartman lines. The decision of the
Commission is said to be a "strad-
die" and the traffic men represent
ing the railroads do not hesitate to
declare that the body made a
"bOtch" job of it. The decision is
likewise not altogether pleasing to
the lumber interests of the North
west.
The suit will bring to the front
important questions of jurisdiction,
in so far as the Commission is con-
cerned, and will result in a judicial
decreee as to powers assumed by the
Commission.

SpOkane-Great Northern train
No 3 was helA up last week one and
one-half miles east of Naples, Idaho,
by a lone bandit, using a section
crew as a decoy, but nothing was
taken and the bandit escaped into
the brush with a broken arm as the
result of lively duel with Conduc-
tor A. NJ, Matthews.
The train was tagged by section
men at a point where they were at
work on the grade and not till it
was at dead stop did Engineer
Dad Morrill, know that holdup
game had been worked During the
fusillade that followed, Matthews
had a narrow escape and the wood
work of the car was shattered by bull
lets, one Of which came within four
inches Of its man. 1t is thought the
bandit was hit only once.
From the first moment it was
| known holdup was in progress
panic struck the passengers They
were notified OF The fact by two
shots from the highwayman' rifle
sent down the side of the train as
warning to keep heads inside win

tons more to the rear and kept their
heads inside. A stick of dynamite
was set off beside one of the cars and
1t broke windows and cracked the
