President Taft nominated A. Platt
Andrew of Mass, who has been director
of the mint, to be assistant Secretary
OF the Treasury, succeeding Charles D.
Norton who took up his duties as sec
rotary to the president today.
Saying that they regarded it as IN
delicate to discuss the object OF this visit
prior to the conference with the presl-
dent. which is set for 3 this afternoon,
the three western railroad presidents
who have come to talk over the rate
situation declined this morning to talk.
They are Presidents Ripley, Delano
and FELTON,. President Hughitt did not
come and whether they are to be joined
at the White Honsc by other railroad
men the westerners declared was be-
yond their knowledge. Without gong
into details President Delano said that
it would be their effort to justify them
selves and to convince President Taft
and the attorney general that III filing
the tariffs complained of by the ship
ucrs, the Western Trunk Line com
mittee had not changed the practice
which has been in vogue for the last IA
wears. He denied that the presidents
of the roads had acted in secret or that
the shippers in the western territory
had been kept uniformed OF the 'ltes
in the proposed new tariff. Attorney
General Wickcrsham, who had talk
with the president this morning, primed
Mr.. Taft with the facts on the govern

charge Of inconsistency he pointed out
both houses OF Congress have absolutely
refused to adopt the recommendations
of the president for the legaiizing OF
traffic agreements and for that reason
the law upon the subject remained un-
changed and had to be enforced. The
roads should have realized this, nc
maintained, and should have avoided

BATTLE OF FLOWERS.

Never, perhaps in the history Of this
capital have there been SO many CARR
ages and automobiles. and so many
people afoot, on the main streets n
there were last night, for the third and
final battle Of the annual flower festival
Oldest residents of Mexico claim they
have never seen so many carriages ON
the three kilomctcrS driveway around
ChapuItcpcc Castle as there were there
for the festival.
In spite Of the almost perfect police
regulations. the strict enforcement of
the Instructions of the governor thai
all vehicles and pedestrians must keep
to the ri ght. Il congestion and complete
blockade Of vehicle traffic resulted by
reason of the mere fact that the three
streets let aside for the paradc> were
simply too small to accommodate the
hundreds OF carriages and automobiles
that tried to wedge into the restricted
space.
From the viewpoint of flowers the
battle of flowers was far better than
that year ago. Decorations also were
better. There are said To have been
more decorated carriages in the parade
and in the contest. The committee did
not anticipate such IN interest. The
success of the festival went beyond all
expectations.
Though there were thousands Of vc-
hiclcs in the battle. perhaps not one
fifth were decorated. but there were a
number where admirable taste was
shown in the scheme Of decoration. All
the decorated vehicles and floats in the
contest entered the flower battle and
added much to the picturcSqucSncss of
the scene. : Mexican Herald.
