nicipal architect. Major Judson has ap-
pointed an advisory committee, consist

OF the Washington Chapter Of the
American Institute of Architects; James
Knox Taylor. Supervising Architect Of

dent of the Board OF Education. and

'It will be necessary for tae munich
pal architect to give practically his

No man can devote to the work the
attention it will demand and at the same
time attend to a private business. The

Appleton p Clark. Jr., a local archi-
tect, is mentioned for the position, and
is backed by Captain oyster and mem
bers Of the Chamber OF Commerce MIR.
Clark has said, however, that he cannot
be considered a candidate, as the salary
is not sufficient TO warrant him giving
up his present business.
Snowden Ashford, Inspector of Build
ings, is also a candidate, and is opposed
by Captain oyster because of certain
controversaries arising between the
building Inspector and the Board OF
Education in matters relating TO the
construction and repairs Of school build
ings.
In placing Captain Oyster upon the
advisory committee. Major JudsOn said
that he believed the president Of the
Board of Education would view Mr.
Ashford's qualifications without preju-
dice and that the man selected by ma
Jorfty Of the committee would receive
the appointment.

BOSTON. May 5.-The Very Rev. Mgr.
George Patterson. vicar general OF the
Roman Catholic diocese Of Boston has
created a stir by denouncing United
states Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as
a bigot, and intimating that the
knowledge of history possessed by the
senior Senator Of Massachusetts, is. to
say the least. imperfect.

are the sole topic in political circles

Mgr. Patterson, and others who take
his side In the controversy.
II all grew out OF a statement at
trfbuted to Senator Lodge IN which he
declares there were no foreigners in the
American ranks in the Revolutionary
war. Patterson takes exception 20 this
and further intimates that Senator
Lodge has raised religious issue from

Addressing the members OF the Cath
olic Society OF Boston last night. Mgr.
Patterson said:
II have no regard for some men in Of

that I consider Henry Cabot Lodge

OF him. He tells US that there were no

While Victory for Congress in

BY ]. c. WELLIvER.

}
The Supreme Court today decided
the famous commodities clause
case. On its face the decision sus-
tains the contention Of the Govern
ment. but in fact it Is substantial
victory for the railroads.
AS the decision is now understood.
on the basis Of hurried examination
by those who have seen the courts
synopsis of its decision. and those
who heard the reading. in part. OF the
decision, the court rules:
That a railroad may not haul IN
interstate commerce those articles
which it directly produces or has
legal interest or title in
But a railroad viii not be held TO
have legal interest or title in an arti-
Gle which is produced by another cor
poration in which the railroad is
stockholder.
The conclusion OF the matter is that
the railroads which own and operate
rsiAes. directly and Immediately. can
not continue that operation They Epost
dispose Of the mines. But this is not
made dlficuIt, because the decision says
that a railroad may transport IN inter
state commerce those articles which are
produced by a subsidiary corporation
whose stock may be owned BY the rail-
road company
May Reorganize Soon
This makes it easily possible for
1nine-owning roads to reorganize
holdings under new subsidiary

change in their business reIatt

w. F. Hesse, Formerly of This City,
May Take Over Gravel Supply.
There is every possibility that the
Clifford gravel pits, owned by the Iowa
Central, will soon pass into the control
of the Kampeska Materials Company,
of Watertown, S. D., which, if it gets
control. will operate the pits and sup
ply the railroad company from them.
w F. Hesse, formerly of this city,
and until a few months ago chief clerk
in the office of Manley B. Cutter, gen.
eral manager of the Iowa Central and
Minneapolis & st. Louis, is secretary
and treasurer of the company
Mr.. Hesse was in the city this MORN
ing on his way to Clifford to look over
the pits. He said before he left that
Ethe railroad company desired. to get rid
Eof them, and that 1t was very likely
| that his company would take them
over. The Kampeska company already
owns and operates pits near Water
town, from which it supplies the Min
neapolis & ST. Louis and other users
of sand and gravel.
Mr. Hesse lived in this city for a
year and a half when the general Of
!ifices of the Iowa Central were here
During that time Mr.. Hesse was chief
clerk in the engineering department
