that he has taken no stand as yet in
favor Of either the progressives or the
regulars in the Republican party, and
he desires TO correct any impression
tina. he is showing favoritism. OF the

Not IL the Republicans do the right

Roosevelt had talked with them both.

Talked Politics With All Three.
Governor Hughes had departed
earlier in the day. Colonel Roosevelt
said that he had talked politics with
all three and that he had gained about
the same impression from Mr.. Wood
run as he had obtained Tuesday from
James w. Wadsworth. Jr, speaker of
the assembly.
Mr.. Wadsworth made II clear that.
90 far as II lay within his power,
there would be no surrender on the
part Of the organization in favor of

Roosevelt and Governor Hughes urged
IN vain. For his part Mr.. Woodruff
said that he was glad that Colonel
Roosevelt was active In politics.

said the colonel. because the first
four men with whom conferred were

COMMISSION TAKES ACTION
suspends the Rate Advances Recently
Made by Railroads.

Washington. July 14.-The inter
state commerce commission has deter
mined to suspend recent general ad-
vances made by the railways In their
freight rates. The tariffs suspended,
In accordance with the policy decided
upon by the commission for the most
part are those recently filed by the
Western Trunk Line association and
by the carriers, although some OF the
tariffs against which questions wer ,
raised were filed by individual roads
In other territories.
BY Arrangement with the president
and with the commission the railways
agreed to supplement their original
advanced tariffs, which were to have
become effective about July /, with
the tariffs to become effective Au-
gust 1.
This postponement Of the effective
date Of the proposed rates was for the
purpose of enabling the commission
thoroughly to examine its authority
under the new railroad law. The un.
derstanding, at the time the agree
ment was reached. was that such ad.
vances as were general in character
and affected large interests should be
suspended pending an inquiry into the
reasonableness Of the increases.
The vote taken by the commission
was rather on line of policy to be
pursued by the body as to suspension
than upon specific tariffs. Now that
the policy of the commission has been
determined It will be automatically
applicable. in sense. to such tariffs
o. fall within It's purview.

FORTS FAILURE

[From a STAFF Correspondence

BOONTON, June Ex-Governor John
Franklin Forts failure to appear at
the tenth anniversary exercises of the
State Firemen's Home yesterday after
noon brought forth some. strong crit
tcism from Mayor Cornelius j. Kopp.
In anticipation of seeing the Governor
and heal him make an address, more
than 10, 900 visitors to the town We're
keenly disappointed. The Governor
was scheduled to arrive here at noon.
but he failed to put in an appearance,
nor did he send any explanations. Be-
cause of his failure to be on hand the
parade n exercises at the home were
delayed for two hours.
After co~ngratulating the managers Of
the home for the efficient IN
which the institution is conducted Mr.
Kopp referred to the absence of the
Governor in vigorous language.
by not attending this celebration or
sending word that he would not DE
here Governor Fort has insulted he
citizens of oonto and the fremen of
the State" said Mr.. Kopp. Ten
thousand or more people are in town
today expecting to see the Governor
and shake his hand, hui he did not
show up. As the Governor of the state
he should set us a better example. ms
we look to him for better things.
THE people of Boonton are sighted
in not seeing the Governor continued
Mayor Kopp. and ! certainly think
that he did not use our citizens prop
erly. There are 200 voters in Boonton
and ont of this number 900 cast their
votes for Fort. Now, I do not think
this is proper treatment. He has never
visited Boonton. but he should have
