Has a Fine Start toward Four
Hundred Mark in

WASHINGTON, 5. G., Apri III
President Tan ha fine start to.
ward the 400 mar in his flght for
delegates to the national. Republican
convention in jane. The contest 70
date, not, Including Illinois,
where the district results are not
definitely nown.. stands as follows;
/ Taft sS5, Roosevelt 40, LaEollette
&c, cammins 4.
The Taft forces easily controlled
the state conventions OF Kentucky,
Vermont and New York, where four
delegates each are assured. TAFT
also won two Michigan districts, the
Tenth and Eleventh, and the Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth Missouri. Col.
Roosevelt controlled the Maine state
convention and three district con-
lventions, making his total ten IN
that state. While the four delegates
in the New York state convention
were not actually instructed for
president the convention declared
for his denomination. which means
that the delegatesTAtslarge will sup
port him.
The returns from the statewide
primary election IN Illinois and the
cause torythe Roosevelt majority are
slowly coming to light. The Taft
forces eoncede that Col. Roosevelt
has carried the sta5e by an unusual
~ large majority over the president
but the claim Of ffty-eight delegates
TO the national convention is UNI
founded, The Roosevelt people cap
tured the delegates to the state con-
yention in Springfield, consequently
they VIII get the eight delegates al
large. But the plurality Of Col
Roosevelt in the state does not nee
essarily mean that he Will get all of
the fifty national convention dele
gates chosen Exactly the reverse
is true. The vote in each congress
stoaal district district governs the
selection Of delegates in that dis
trict. Advices from Illinois are to
the effect that President Taft will
win at least four districts and posi-
bly, five. Consequently he will have
ten delegates of the fifty pledged 20
him If five districts have been won,
and if four went for Taft he will
have eight of them.

"oIFFERENTIAL cAsE.r
Re-hearing Granted on Import Rates
From Eastern Cities to West.

Washington, Dec. 13.--A re-hearing
on the "Differential case" involving
import rates from Boston, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore to Chicago and
the West, was granted, today, by tho
Interstate Commerce Commission, as
the result of persistent efforts by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce, the
Boston & Maine Railroad and the
Boston & Albany Railroad -
The commission will not directly
open the case, but will determine
whether the port of Boston shall be
accorded as low a scale of rates on
westbound import traffic as is given
the port of Baltimore. The Boston
interests and the commission made A.
temporary agreement, today. to oper-
ate until a final decision Is reached.
1t will restore the rates of 20 cents
from Boston to Chicago, which were
in effect four years ago, before tho
import rate war begun.
Under an arrangement existing now
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore
have a 67-cent rate and New York a
75-cent rate. The Interstate COM
merce Commission entered the rate
war as board of arbitration and es-
tablished 75-cent rate for Boston
and New York, a 69-cent rate for
Philadelphia and a 67-cent rate for
Baltimore. These rates would have
become effective, Jan. l. The Boston
Chamber of Commerce and CONNER
cial Interests generally urged that
75cent rate from Boston to Chicago
would substantially put that city out
of beusiness as port of import traffic.
