Katherine Tingley Warns Hearers
Against the Gerrys.

San Diego. Cal. Nov 24-Katherine

audience. Her remarks were largely
with reference to the controversy over
the eleven Cuban children detained at
Ellis Island. New York. She declared
that Mr. Gerry viii never be able to

come 20 Point Iona. She added: Now
I will speak lust a moment about Mr..
Gerry, because 1 am very much inter

intention to make war upon this insti-
tuition at Point Iona.

CORTELYOU TO GET 1T.
Presidents Secretary Likely to Get
New Cabinet Position.

washington, Nov. 24.-Within week
or ten days the president will appoint
committee of experts TO canvass the de-
partmentS of the government and reach
a conclusion as to the bureaus and di-
visions which can be included in the
proposed department of commerce. This
decision was reached this afternoon,
and was a result of a call made at the
White House by Col. Hepburn of Iowa,
chairman of the house committee on in
terstate commerce.
The president has all along advised
the passage of a bill creating the new
department and adding a member to his
official family The house committee on
interstate commerce was loath to pass
the bill in the form it came from the
senate at the last session. It was de-
cided to appoint a subcommittee to
confer with the president as to the final
shape the bill should take. This commit
tee waited upon the chief executive
in the spring. After full discussion of
the subject it was decided that only ex
perts on the manner of conducting the
government departments and on the de-
tails OF government business were quail
fed to decide what should be included
in the new department. He agreed with
house members that he would appoint
such committee.
No action was taken until today
when Colonel Hepburn, who called at
the White House, was told that in the
press of other business matters the
president had not been given an oppor-
tunity to appoint the committee asked
for. Colonel Hepburn was invited to
call again about the middle of the week
to consult with the president on the
matter. The call will in all probability
be followed by an announcement of the
committee. After leaving the White
House Colonel Hepburn expressed the
belief that If any early report was Sc
cured from the committee there would
be department of commerce created
during the short session of congress. He
has some strong objections to the Mel
son bill. He points out that it brings to
the proposed new department bureaus
which should not be separated from ex-
listing departments and which cannot
be separated without doing an injury
to the public business. He gives an il
lustration, the revenue cutter service,
which the Nelson bill proposes to take
