pcrnIc,inu si,,,ntIon

Washington, ID c., December ia
pcrplexing, &c not serious, situation is
regarded as having arisen out of the
change in the personnel Of tho Inter
state Commerce Commission MADE by
President Tatt's appointments to-day.
The two new commissioners proposed
&c. C. McChord, OF Kentucky, and
II. Meyer, of Wisconsin, named in sue
cession to Commissioner Cockrell and
Chairman Knapp, respectively, have
heard none OF the testimony in the I'M
portant rate cases recently heard by
the commission.
The cases have been set down for
argument on January Il. 1911. BY that
time the Court of Commerce VIII be
in process of organization, and Chair
man Knapp, If confirmed by the Senate,
VIII have retired from the commits
sion. Commissioner Cockrelfs term
presumably will expire on the Slst
instant. although his commission ap-
pears to extend the term until Jan
uary z.
In any event. two of the commits
sIoncrs who have studied the rate cases
and have heard the testimony at the
hearings will have retired from the
commission before the arguments are
completed 1t is the opinion among
=
ably will be necessary further TO post
pone the effective date of the com
missions order in tho rate cases SO as
10 afford the incoming commissioners
opportunity to examine tho testimony
and, perhaps, thereafter hear the oral
arguments IN the light of the evidence.
The proposed advances in rates Were
suspended until February 1. 1911.
For several weeks it has been regarded
as likely that IL would be necessary to
make further suspension as it APP
peared Improbable that the commits
sion would be able 10 reach y decision
of the cases in time for announcement
by February l. The changes in the
personnel of tho commission make 1t
almost certain that no determination
OF the important proceedings can be
had b.. that time.
The probability is that. in the event
of the confirmation OF Chairman
Knapp as presiding Judge OF tlls Court
of Commences. Commissioner Judson c.
clements. Democrat, of Georgia will
be chosen as chairman of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission Commits
sioner Clements is the senior member
OF the commission and every precedent
points to his selection The commits
sion elects its own chairman and In
every instance heretofore tho selection
has gone 10 the senior member of tho
body, irrespective of his political af-
fliations.
