ANOTHER POSITION
FOR SIDNEY BIEBER
He Will Not Get Recess Ap-
pointment AS Collector
At Georgetown.

BEVERLY, Mass, June 30.-Sidney
Bieber viii not receive a recess ap-
pointment as collector Of the port Of
Georgetown. It is said he will be
given another place.
Collector Nyman, who now holds the
job, viii not De allowed to retain it.
The position viii 20 to a colored
man from some other part Of the
country than the District Of Colum-
bia, or it will be given 70 some man
rot a resident or native Of the Dis
tricr
These facts were brought out here
by inquiry today.
When Bieber was first named by the
President last spring, Mr.. Taft took
the position that he deserved sub
stantiaI reward for his political serv-
ices. and that his standing as a man
OF affairs Of the District made 1t ap-
propriate thai he be appointed.
Immediately friends of Collector
Nyman began a bitter + ght against
the appointment.
The Senate committee reported the
nomination favorably, and when Taft
held up the appointment a few days
before Congress adjourned Senator
Elkins reported that the Senate was
ready 10 confirm it.

Stnckton-Patton Wedding
At st. Johns Church, GEORGETOWN.

Miss Mamie May Patton. daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Patton, was
married last evening at o'clock. to
Walter Wolverton Stockton. The
ceremony. which was performed in
St Johns Church, Georgetown. by
the Rev. DR. T. B. Howden. rector
Of the church. was attended by a
large gathering Of relatives and
friends Palms, green vines, and
clusters Of pink and white roses and
hydranEeaS formed the decorations
the wedding music was played by
Charles Cropley, the organist Of the
church.
The bride wore a beautiful gown
Of white crepe de chine made on
princess lines and embroidered in
pearls. Her veil, which was Of rare
old lace, was arranged with a cOrOnet
OF orange blossoms and she carried
a shower, bouquet Of lilies Of he
valley and sweet peas
Miss. Frances Stockton, sister Of
the bridegroom, was the maid %
honor. She wore pink mOuSseIins
over silk with short tUlle veil and
carried bouquet OF pink sweet
The little flower girls. Miss Anna
Margaret Lowe and Miss Frances
Hurley, each two years old, wore
dainty frOCkS of white swiss and
carried baskets Of pink and white
sweet peas.

time paraIyzed. The moving of the
cotton crop would be hindered and
various industries would suffer The
handling of naval stores would be in
terfered with, as would the phosphate
business and the movements of steam
ship lines.
The threatened trouble has its
origin in the question of wages. The
railroad employees of the South main
tain their wages are much below the
wages OF railroad employees in the
North and West. The railroads thus
far have refused to grant the increased
wages demanded by the employees
Fortunately, the order to strike has
not yet gone forth, and there is reason
to hope.that before any such order is
issued, a way viii be found to an adj
justment. Chairman Knapp, of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and
Commissioner Neil, OF the Bureau OF
Labor, have been endeavoring for days
to compose the differences. They have
been taking the case up under the
Erdman act and have been trying TO
get to the bottom OF the facts, by
hearing the statements of all parties
to the controversy.
In practice, the Erdman act has
proved itself effective. Valuable work
has been done by Messrs. Knapp and
Nell in other difficult situations and
the differences between the Southern
lines and their employees ought to yield
TO negotiations, although it must be
admitted the problems presented are
not simple But when the tremendous
loss that would be inflicted on the
South by a strike Is considered, it
would appear that each side ought to
be willing TO yield something and eff
feet a compromise Neither the rail
roads nor the men have anything to
gain by allowing a strike to come on
at this time.

HEAVYFREIGHTRA TIE REDUC-
TONS IN FAR WEST.

Not in many years, perhaps not since
the Interstate Commerce Commission
was organized, have there been de
cisions handed down by that body equal
In Importance TO the recent decisions
affecting the rates west OF the Mis-
souri,. As a matter of fact, the de-
cisiOns affect the whole fabric o. trans
continental rates. from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Heavy reductions have
been determined on both class and
commodity rates on freight shipped
from the East to such centers as Spo-
kane, Reno, and Salt Lake City. Still
broader in scope than this, the rates
from the Pacific coast back into the
ntermountain country have been
found too high and are to be reduced.
And, in general, the commission has
found that the vast territory com
prised in what Is known as the inter
mountain country IS being unjustly
and unreasonably treated in the CUES
ton of freight rates, and as to pas
seuger rates in some cases, and it has
taken its pruning knife in hand and
decided to trim the rates down to i
reasonable basis.
The commission has not gone into
this question blindly, but, aware OF
the vast Importance Of its rulings, has
prepared the decisions with unusual
care. The showing made as to the
justice Of the reductions is a strong
one. The earnings Of some of the
lines affected, notably the Pacific SIS
tenn OF the Southern Pacific, have been
so remarkably high as to be abnormal.
If the commission can sustain what it
claims in its decisions with respect TO
the Nevada cases as to earnings, it Is
not easy to see how the courts can
enjoin the oruers.
The decisions are important not
alone in and Of themselves, but because
they tend to show that the commits
sion feels itself sufficiently clothed
with power to graPple with rate sit
uatiOns Of the biggest sort and deal
with them. 1t IS true that the de-
cisions are under the old Hepburn law,
not the new law. But 1t may be
doubted If the commission would have
put forth as vigorous decisions as
these had it not been assured when it
arrived at them-early in June-that
Cor gress was going to pass a law that
would greatly strengthen its hands.

SAFE AND SANE FUND SHORT

One thousand dollars more is needed

dertaking certain.
The committee now suggests that
contributions of small amounts be sent
in by citizens. The members saw they
VIII be glad to receive subscriptions in
any sum, from cents up. They also
add the significant statement that CON
tributions must be made Immediately.
One thousand dollars is a ridiculous

Is the last day of June. Monday will
be the Fourth of July. The time left

Government for $3OO,OOO,OOO less than
it IS run. OF course, such talk is idle
and foolish, and the achievement of
any such saving is out of the question,
The Government is expanding and the
expenditures are bound TO increase.
The appropriations are not going to
drop below the bilIion-dollar mark in
all likelihood. What can be done is to
hold them down to something like their
present level, and to work to the end
that q dollar expended for the Govern
ment shall go as far as If expended
by a business establishment. 1t " i
never be possible actually to do this,
but it is feasible to try.

THE PRESIDENT WILL WORK
FURTHER FOR ECONOMY.

President Taft still has the economy
problem on his hands. 1t is announced
that the coming summer and fall he
viii devote much attention 10 its solu-
ton. He began it the first year of his
Administration, and, with the CO.
operation of Cabinet officers and other
officials, succeeded in making some re-
auctions of the estimates. This sum-
mer and fall it is proposed to 90 into
the subject more deeply. Congress has
given the President 100000 to make a
survey of the various departments with
a view of efTecting savings, and out of
that expenditure Mr.. Taft hopes to
reduce expenses.
Efforts of this kind deserve to be
helped along, especially in so fan as they
look to the introduction of more bust
nesslike methods in the departments,
elimination Of needless red tape, the
avoidance Of Implications, and progress
toward n more scientific budget. The
topping off OF a few clerks here and
there for the purpose of making a
show Of economy Is not the sort of i'm
provement in business methods that
amounts TO much. Neither is there
anything to be said in favor Of that
sort of economy which effects savings
mercy by putting off for year or 81
improvements which are needed and
are in the public interest.
Senator AIdTich said something OF
the Senate floor about running the
