Washington. June Facing a
conference of more impor-
lance than that of Yesterdays Pres
ident Taft this morning was study
ing the eastern rate situation. He
will meet the presidents of eastern
railroads this afternoon Some are
quoted as saying they favor an
similar TO. that made yes
torday by the western roads.
Today's conference Is OF greater
scope than yesterdays. On its re-
suit depends the attitude of the great
eastern lines and probably other
lines of the country. II is expected
by the administration that there will
be little difficulty in getting an
agreement.
Notwithstanding the agreement
President Taft made with 25 mid
western railroads TO postpone action
IN the proposed increase of rates
put a new light on the situation in
the house. The senate bill is word
ed so il couldn't become effective for
60 days from its passage. At least
25 insurgents. according to Nelson,
OF Wisconsin. are ready to vote for
the acceptance of the senate bill
rather than trust II to the hands of
conference committee Democrats,
It is believed. will favor the passage.
Administration men urged on the
insurgents the necessity of joining
with the administration in an effort
to clear the railroad situation Dem
ocrats are inclined TO aid the plan of
the administration and take the bill
to conference, but the insurgents say
they are only campaigning" and
would vote for the senate measure in
a pinch

Humor, Too.
SPECIAL MESSAGE IL SENT.

Washington, June T.. Recommend
ing that the provisions of the rail
road bill, giving the interstate COM
merce commission power to suspend
increased railroad rates. pending
Investigation be made effective on
passage. President Taft sent a spe-
.cial message to congress today. He
outlined the situation of the railway
rate dispute. The message was pre-
pared after a conference with Rep
resentatlve Mann and Senator Crane.
The recent effort by a large num-
Der of railroad companies TO in
crease freight rates on interstate
transportation caused me to direct
the attorney general to bring suit to
secure from the United States court
OF Missouri an injunction. restrain
ing the, operation of such increases.
This action led to a conference with
representatives of the railroads en-
Joined. and the agreement by each
Of them to withdraw the proposed
increase In rates. and not file any
further attempts to Increase until af-
ter the enactment into law of the
pending bill to amend the Interstate
commerce act or the adjournment OF
congress. with the further under
standing that upon the enactment of
such. each would submit to the de-
termination of the commission. at
is my hope that all other railroad
companies will take like action. In
order that each may have the bene-
ht OF speedy determinatior wheth-
er the increase is justiiiable, a pro-
vision should be made by congress
to vest the interstate commerce com
mission with Jurisdiction"
Referring to the senate bill. pro-
viding that It will be effective 60
days from its passage. he said,
This provision. il allowed to re-
main. will enable the carriers be-
tween the time of the enactment of
the bill and the time IL becomes eff
fective to file Increases on rates,
becoming effective in 80 days. to re-
main in effect during the pendensy
of proceedings TO review them. II
IL is effective Immediately, the rates
will not be increased during the in
yestigation. Therefore. | recommend
that the latter provision be modified,
h rovlding that at least the senate
ypamendment TO the senate bill,
which IL the sertlon authorizing the
commission to suspend the going into
effect of the increase in rates until
after due Investigation. shall take

JUVENILE BL0ckHEADs.
Stupid Boys Who Developed Into World
Famous Men.

FAMOUS men.
There is quite long record of ia
nous men who In their boyhood were
regarded as fools and billiards. Sir
Walter Scott was called a ''blockhead"
by his mother. The mother Of Brins-
ley Sheridan despaired of teaching him
the simplest elements. Her death
aroused him to activity and he became
a scholar, philosopher, poet, wit, states
man and orator. Dean Swift, the keen
est wit of his age, was "plucked" at
Dublin university. Newton, Shake
speare. Michelangelo and Oliver Gold
smith all come in the category
One day slatternly woman rushed
out of little grocer's shop gripping
an unkempt boy by the ear, and as she
pulled him along she shouted to her
neighbor:
'My heart is fairly broke with that
brat, Tammy, and he is so stupid he
can learn nothin'r'
That stupid brat Tammy became the
poet Tom Moore.
In a country schoolhouse in Queens
county, Ireland, a boy with blunt
knife cut in the desk "a. w." the in
itials of his name The teacher. who
caught him in the act, cried out:
Stupid, you are better at cutting let
tiers and destroying desks than you are
at learning your lessons"
That boy was Arthur Wellesley,
known TO fame as the Duke of We'll
lington, hero Of Waterloo.
In the middle years Of the last CEN
fury, in st. Malachy's college, Belfast.
a boy carved the letters &C. r." in the
wood. The French professor reported
him and declared that be was besides
a worthless boy. who would never
