President asked President Hadley to ac-
cept s place on the commission, with
the hope that he win aid him in select
ing the other members. President Had
lev was a member OF the Connecticut
state railway commission. and has writ
ten with some show of authority on COM
mon carriers. He has not informed the
President as to whether or not he viii
accept.
Cabinet Officers Coming.
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor Ma
gel and Attorney General Wiekersham
are looked for tomorrow. The President
viii take up with Mr. wickersham the
question Of the personnel OF the COM
mission.
One other thing that the President win
so over carefully with the Attorney Cen
eral is the suggestion made recently that
he cali an extra session OF the Senate
TO confirm the appointments he must
make to the Supreme bench. While so
far the President is inclined to be against
such an extra session he has not settled
the matter absolutely his friends say.
After this consultation with Mr. Wicker
sham he may decide. AT present he is
reported as believing that he. will have
ample time to send in his nominations and
have them acted upon before the court
is ready to take up again any one of
the three great eases. Standard Oil. to-
bacco. and corporation tax.
The President probably viii make two
appointments TO that bench. One will be
TO MI the vacant chief tustieeship, the
other TO iii the vacancy which viii occur
when Associate Justice Moody retires
under the recent act Of Congress. Both
OF these, IL is said. will be made be-
fore December, when Congress meets.
Gov. Hughes is sim believed TO be the
man who win be named as Chief Justice.
As 10 who viii succeed Mfr. Moody there
is less certainty Some suggestions have
come 10 Beverly. but the President win
not hurry in making his selection. At
torney General Wickersham probably
win talk about this too.
May Discuss Nicaragua.
Other Cabinet officers are looked for
soon. Secretary Macyeagh probably may
drop in almost any day, and Secretary
Knox is expected shortly Mr.. Knox
may have some interesting revelations TO
make to Mr. Taft about the way things
are going down in Nicaragua It is known
here that the President does not intend
to move thei summer capital from Bev-
erly 10 Bar Harbor or anywhere up the
Maine coast. He is greatly pleased with
Beverly ard the cottage where he IS now
living. He intends to come here both of
the two remaining summers OF his pres
tnt term
Arrangements for the Presidential trip
up the coast are still a bit in the air
It IS possible that Bar Harbor will not
be reached on this voyage until the May
flower heads south. The President and
his family may sail direct north TO the
