ROOSEVELT'S DEFEAT
In Cobb Bill Not Regarded as Repudia
ton at Albany.

Albany, N. Y. July 1.-The extraor-
binary session which adjourned today
was short-l lived and Comparatively un-
productive but it cost the state $685.
900. Besides the defeating by vote
of 25 to 10 the Cobb direct nominal
tions bill, which was backed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt the legislators ignored
Governor Hughes criticisms of the
legislative probe resolution and passed
two bills, one making an appropria ton
for its own expenses. the other a pro-
gressive inheritance tax measure which
the leaders estimate will add $4,000, 900
or $5,000,000 to the states revenues.
direct tax bill designed to reim-
burse the general fund for contribu-
tons made to the canal and highway
sinking funds fell by the wayside.
Governor Hughes in his message OBJ
served that it would soon be necessary
to go back to direct taxation to take
care of the interest and pay the prin-
cipal of the bond issued for canal and
highway improvements.
The Republican leaders discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of state income tax
but did not formulate a measure. In
stead, Senator Grady the Democratic
leader put in such bill which got no
further than committee.
Theodore Roosevelt is to be asked to
get back into the harness again. His
decisive defeat in both the Senate and
the Assembly at the hands of the Re-
publican organization has created a
situation which may force him to take
an active part in the politics of both
the state and the nation.
Almost before the gavel had banged
an end to the special session Of the
Legislature today, the members. who
had shared with him in the lost cause
of primary legislation were planning
to make him leader of the party in the
state, whether he wants to be or not.
They point to the fact that, once he
plunges into the contest in the state
he will be involved in the politics of
the nation. owing to the prominent
part which New York state is expect
ed to play in the Congressional cam
paign of the fall.
Col. Roosevelt's defeat was in no
sense a reputation of his leadership
or an indication that his power Is on
the .wane. Those who stood with him
say they had a majority of the Re-
publican votes in both branches of the
Legislature and it was only by a COM
bination with the Democrats that the
organization was able to win.
The organization made a bad mis-
take by not passing some primary bill

Taft confers With Chair :
man Of Commission.
Power Of Suspendiug Rates
To Be Only Exceptional.
President Regrets Defeat Of Cobb
Direct Primary Bill.

Beverly, Mass, July 1.-President
Taft had an extended conference this
afternoon with Chairman Knapp OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
regarding the administration Of the
new railroad rate law.
At the conclusion of the interview
it was made plain that the added au-
thorlty given to the commission by
the new statute is not to be used
arbitrarily OF for the purpose OF hin
dering the railroads in the conduct OF
their legitimate business.
The power to suspend new rates
probably the most direct weapon
placed in the hands of the commits
sion-is to be used only in exceptional
cases.
Chairman Knapp informed the Pres
ident that the commission has aIfeauy
refused an application under the new
law for a suspension of increased rates
on horse vehicles and automobiles.
He declared that there was nothing
on the face of things to show that the
new rates were unjust or unreason-
able.
The Interstate Commerce Commls-
sion will not attempt to fix dehnite
rates for the railroads and the power
of suspension will be applied only TO
rates where a preliminary hearing
gives indication that they are excess
sive. In all such contested cases, the
President was informed. the commits
sion will endeavor to arrive at the
facts at the earliest possible moment
and it is not believed that In any
case will il be necessary to avail OF
the full limit of IL months allowed
under the law.
It was at the Presidents request that
Chairman Knapp came to Beverly to-
day. Mr. Knapp left for Washington
tonight.
Mr.. Taft was pleased to find that the
commission already had its plans wen
mapped out and that Its views OF the
new statute coincide thoroughly with
that of the trainers of the bill. The COM
mission is anxious that there shall be as
little friction with the railroads as pos
sible and with President Taft Is anxious
that nothing shall be done to menace tbs
prosperity of the railroads so long as they
comply with the terms of the law.
President Taft today expressed regret
to several of his callers over the defeat
in the New York Assembly of the Cobb
direct primary bill which was advocated
by Governor Hughes and publicly en-
dorsed by Col. Roosevelt.
The President would not discuss in any
way the effect of the recent events at AL
bany upon the situation In New York
state or the extent to which Col Roose-
welt might feel he was obliged to enter
into the fight
President Taft's vacation is not to be-
gin until after the strenuous doings If
July Fourth. when he motors into Boston
and stops at several cities on the way.
When he is through with this engage
ment he is to go into seclusion for 10 SOL

before attempted in this city. THOSE
having the affair in charge are work
ing hard to make 1t success ana all
that now remains is to have a pleas
ant day and the attractions offered are
sure TO draw the crowds to the fair
grounds. ;.
The management is anxious to have 1t
impressed upon the minds of the pub
lie that the races are to be ION the
leyer' and that no one will receive
money that he does not win; neither
win the entrance fee Of any horse be
paid by the management, all state
ments to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. BY dint of hard work the pro-
motors Of the days sport have brought
together the greatest aggregation OF
horses ever seen on a race track SO
early in the season. All the best or
the local horses are entered and some
of the hest in Maine will be found
on the track next Monday when the
word is given to go.
Among those entered in the PA, for
which 5000 is the purse, are Tony D,
owned by E. A. Wentworth of Rock
port; Tornado, owned by L. j. Palmer
O" Waterviile; the great favorite,
Brownette, owned by F. r. Hayden Of
Lewiston, and Bessie Barnes. owned
by c. L. Jackson Of Dover. These
horses have all been seen on the local
track and the fact that they are to be
here and start is a guarantee of a
good race.
A purse of 500 has been offered for
the 2.29 class and such horses as Lady
Isabelle. Dora L.. Simpson. Black Silk,
Roam Bird and Maize E. will be among
the starters.
The horses in the 245 class will
struggle for purse of 800 and among
The starters will be Lucy, Dan G.. Jr.,
May Pointer. Edna c.. Ulysses T.,
Black Silk and others.
The 1929 class starters are not ready
10 be made public but will be given
out today. Tho entries for the horse
races will close at noon today and the
promoters OF the sports say that the
entry list will be even larger than
tfev had expected. The list of horses
given above does not by any means
include all the entries, in fact, but
a few of them.
In addition to the horse racing a
baseball game will be played between
the Taconnets and Nationals, a motor
cycle race. fireworks in the evening,
dancing all day. band concerts in the
afternoon and evening and umerous
other attractions. Wallace Jewell will
start the races, which will be under
the rules Of the National Trotting AS
sociation.

ny the management to receive re-
turns from the Jeffries- johnson fight.
A wire will connect the judges stand
and the news will be given to those
present as it is received.
Unusual interest is taken in the
days sports. as may be evidenced by
the nuraber of privileges sold by the
management These indicate that
there will be sufficiency of eating
and drinking booths on the grounds
in addition to booths of other kinds.

Of the week in this busy manufactur-
ing town was the turning on of the
'electric power upon the machinery OF
the Emporia Manufacturing Company.
This company. which has been doing
a nimmense woodworking business for
the past decade and always using
steam power, went over to electric
power this week, having made a ten-
wears contract with the new Emporia
Hydro Electric Power Corporation. The
change from steam power to electric
was made without a hitch. and when
the electric current was turned on the
vast machine cry went right to work as
smoothly as II no change had been
made at all. The Emporla Manufacture
ing Company expects to save big
money by the change, one immense
item being in the matter OF insurance.
The arc lights that are to keep the
town illuminated from the Emporia
Hydro Electric Power plant have been
completed and put, in place, and the
dim incandescent lights on the streets
are to-, be abandoned. All Of this
makes Emporia we'll lighted town.
and the power that Is being furnished
the many manufacturing plants is a
tremendous asset for the town. Neso-
tiations are now on looking to the es-
tablishment of new industrial plants
to utilize the surplus power that .he
Meherrln River Is furnishing through
the agency Of the Hydro Electric Cor
poration.
