A Political Pipe.

The running of Roosevelt for presi-

well to wake mp and get back to reali-

that there is an organized effort to
boom him. and If so that can be dealt
with apart from the dream itself 1t
may even be that some Of those en-
gagged in the effort would not weep to

WILL WITHDRAW
ADVANCED RATES
Conference Between President Taft
And Railroad Men Results in an
to Hold Up Advance.

Washington, June IAN agreement
between the government and the re-
Gently enjoined railroads of the West
ern Trunk Line association was reach
ed at the White House conference,
which lasted more than four hours
Monday afternoon.
The railroads represented agreed to
withdraw all rate increases filed to
be effective on or after June | and
agreed to file no more increases until
the bill in congress, which gives the
interstate commerce commission pow
er to investigate and suspend all in
creases not justified, becomes law
and goes into effect.
President Taft thereupon stated that
the administrations purpose in bring
ing the injunction suit had been ac-
complished and that the suit would be
discontinued. The discontinuance will
not be entered, however, until after
the new railroad law is signed.
The belief was expressed tonight
that all other railroads in the country
which have filed increased rates OF
have had such plan under considera'
ton. will abide by the agreement
reached today with the twenty-four
railroads named as defendants in the
Hannibal suit.
There Will be a conference at the
White House today in Which Presi
dent Brown, OF the New York Central
railroad; President McCrea, of the
Pennsylvania, and other officials rep
resenting the railroads in the eastern
and central territory will participate
That they will acquiesce in President
Tafts proposition and will hold up
proposed increases until after the
new law becomes effective was prac
tically taken for granted here last
night.
The railroads presidents in confer
ence with President Taft put up a
lengthy argument. They claimed that
they had been misrepresented as to
there having been anything clandes'
tine about agreeing upon or filing the
new rates. They cailmed that they
had sent written notices to shippers
and even had the receipts of certain
shippers who denied ever having re
ceived such notices. Finally they de
clared that increased rates had been
filed in the same manner as the in
terstate commerce commission had ap
proved for the past ten years.
The railroad presidents told Presl
dent Taft, incidentally, that they had
been advised by their counsel that
he was willing to take the chance as
to that and he thought the best way
out for the railroads was for them tc
withdraw their increases. Then that
settlement was reached.

K|CKAPOO CASES
WILL Be STRICKEN
Agreement Reached Between Attorney
Involved in Famous Kickapoo
Indian Land Suits.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 7.-By
agreement of the federal and defend
ants attorneys in the Kickapoo land
cases now pending before the Oklaho-
ma county courts, all have been strick-
en- from the assignment of cases for
trial, pending the final decision of the
United States circuit court for the
western district of Oklahoma in cases
virtually affecting the local litigants.
This information was received by
w G. Hughes, clerk Of the superior
court here, Monday morning in let
ter from Frank A. Thompson of the
interior department and the superin-
tendent and special distributing agent
at Shawnee.
The agreement was signed by John
Embry, United States district attorney
and Francis ]. Kearful, special assist
ant attorney general, counsel for the
government, and Warren K. Snyder
and Blakey & Maxey, attorneys for
the Kickapoo land claimants. Attor-
neys for the Cash Cade interests did
not sign the agreement.
According to these stipulations 1t is
agreed that all cases pending in the
the Oklahoma county courts involving
the title or right of possession of the
allotments or inherited lands Of any
of the Kickapoo Indians may be strick-
en- out and continued from term to
term.
The lands affected only include
those to which final patent in fee has
not issued from the federal govern
ment
The continuance of the cases on the
trial docket are to be in operation
until after the question of the power
of such Indians to sell or cucumber
such land under the act of congress
of June 21, 1906 The question involv-
ed is now pending on final hearing
and will be determined in certain
cases in the circuit court Of the Unit
ed States for the western district Of
Oklahoma at Muskogee.
This agreement will tend to shorten
the docket of the district court here
to a considerable number of cases
pending concerning the title to vast.
area of farm land in the vicinity Of
Arcadia and Luther and involving
many thousands of dollars.
There is a probability, too, that the
criminal phases of the question may
be eliminated in the event that the
federal court holds that the Indian
may cucumber or sell property in its
