Has Long Conference
With Col. Roosevelt

NEW YORK, March 5.-One of the
first callers on Colonel Roosevelt when
he arrived at the Outlook Offices today
was V. Bourkc Cochran, oIfce a Tam

with the Colonel for some time, but did
not state whether or not he Is an ad-
vocate of Roosevclts nomination.
Roosevelt's principal visitor was Will
liam Allen white. of Kansas, who said
he had told the Colonel that II he were
nominated at Chicago, President Taft
would not be. White spent Sunday
night at Sagmore Hill as the guest of
the Colonel, and went back to see him
today to tell him some things he had
forgotten.
Il told the Colonel" said White.

gave him three reasons why he was
sure to be nominated. First | told him
that my personal observation indicated
that he already was sure of two-fifths
of the entire Chicago committee.
told him that President Taft has Con-
gress on his hands and by his treatment
of it he can be depended on to ALLEVIATE
many of his present supporters. | told
him that the Southern delegates were
not the kind of men that so TO the
stake for principle and that they will
vote at Chicago for their job and not
in accordance with instructions.
II also explained to him that many
United States Senators, whose relations
are jeopardzed by the progressive ssn-
timent in their States. can be depended
on to drop their support of Taft.
cited as an instance the case of Murray
Crane of Massachusetts. These men,
told him, when they see the buzz saw
ripping the buttons off their vests can
be depended on to back away.
Il called his attention to the fact that
experienced political leaders like Barnes
OF New York. were gathering up unin.
struCted delegates, and l told him that
this was so they could, when The time
came, be for any one they thought

Ii is the attention given details like these picket

COURT IS ACCUSED
OF EKTRAYAGANCE
IN ITS FURNITURE
Sentiment for Adjustment
of. Commerce Tribunal
Is Increased.

That the Interstate Commerce Court
hdss been unduly extravagant in fitting
J UP its quarters in the Southern building
7 Is one of the reasons advanced by the
I House appropriations Committee for
the abolishment of the court.
The Democrats on the committee
practically have determined to abolish
the court by emitting the appropriation
Tor It's further maintenance. The court
mas been in existence less than a year,
and there has been a growing dlsposi-
ton irs the House to abolish It,
the hearings on tho Legislative appro-
priation bill show that Jerome Stnruk
the marshal of the court, was severely
griiled by members of the Appropriation
committee when he appeared RECENTLY

court room,
Few of the Expenditures.
After he had testified in executive
session the Democrats of the committee
charged the court with eXtravacancc,
and Indicated they were in favor of it's
abolition. A list Uf the furniture bought
Tor the court room shows the following
expenditures:
Twenty-Five arnchairs at $3.50 each,
S1,:6S.,5.
Six leather chairs, 800 each, $50.
one Judges bench, M.055.
Mahogany wains:oting. S2172.
SS75.
I,ne judges screen, 1896.
1t appears that the court paid corre-
spondingly liberal prices for other
articles of furniture, two library tables
costing $3.50 each and five wardrobes
were bought for $93 % each
The members of the Appropriat ton
Committee, in questioning the marshal,
lintimated that all these prices were eX-
orAitant.
Whose taste was consulted in the
selection of the furniture you have been
telling about?' asked Congressman
johnson.
THE judges themselves decided" said
the marshal.
Doom Seems Certain.
The examination of Marshal Starek
concerned estimates of $4,000 submitted
by the court for its expenses for the
coming fiscal year. The court had $75 coo
last year and members OF the Appro-
! priations Committee noted that much
! of the amount had been spent for fur
niture.
There seems to be little doubt that the
Commerce Court is destined to go. either
/ through lack of appropriation to suS-
! tain ii or through a repeal of the law
creating it, Since its creation the court
has been in almost continual conflict
with the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and has overruled many of its de-
cisionS.
