SHOWS THE DIFFICULTIES
OF MINOR STREETS PLAN
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
I crave your indulgence once more
for space to reply to the advocates of
the monor street plan as a solution Of
the alley slum problem, and especially
to dispute the accuracy Of the figures
given in your editorial of the 18th in
slant, in regard to the cost of elimina-
ting the alley slum by following the in
terior park plan, as In the case Of Will
low Tree alley. Personally I do not
favor this plan, except In the more
densely populated alleys. By referring
to my letter you find that I advocated
the purchasing Of the alley houses by
the Government, and. after razing the
shacks, reselling the sites for stable or
warehouse purposes. But as you figured
only on the Willow Tree alley plan, and
then placed the cost at the prohibitive
amount OF 81, 20o, 900. will endeavor to
show that even II the plan to use the
sites of the alley houses for park or
playground purposes were followed, the
probable cost that you furnish Is high

CHANGE IN CABINET
IS EXPECTED. SOON
Progressive of National Repue Thought Slated for Port

Chances for Reelection
By JUDSoN c. wELLIvER.

port has dealt with the possibility Of
Mr.. Knox's retirement. He entered
the Cabinet under much pressure Of
Presidential insistence. Mr.. Taft had
purpose to give his Administration a
real premier; right hand to the Elk
ecutive. That place was to be occu-
pied by his Secretary OF State: and II
was with that understanding that Mr..
Knox became Secretary.
Whatever play of circumstances
may have been responsible, 1t Is Mr..
Knox has not enacted the leading role
that was assigned to him In the orig
inal Cabinet cast. Attorney General
Wlckersham has much more nearly
measured up to the top-line impor-
lance first assigned to Mr.. Knox.
troubles, report has Insisted that Mr..
Knox and his Chief were not in full
accord in the management of the diff
fcult relations between the two coun-
tries. 1t has been common gossip that
Mr.. Knox has taken rather a languid
interest in the business of his office,
permitting 1t largely to fall into the
hands Of subordinates. The alert,
masterful, and pushing Huntington
Wilson, as first assistant, has stood
ready to absorb to himself all Of the
might be dropped from above or car
ried up from below by the process
OF department routine.
So confident are certain usually as
tute political forecasters that a new
Cabinet change Is to take place, that
they are giving consideration mainly
to contectures as to the identity of
the new man who Is to be introduced
into the official family. On this point
not even a serious guess Is hazarded.
The possibility of william Loeb
lectorship to be Secretary OF the
Treasury has been discussed. but the
recent selection OF another New York
progressive for the war portfolio Is
considered to initiate against so pop
ular an appointment as that of Mr..
Loeb would be.

WHAT SHALL MERGED BODIES
BE CALLEDi

What's in a namei The Chamber of
Commerce by any other name would
still do the work it is doing now /;
likewise the Board of Trade. In spite
of this truism, however, members of
both organizations have become con-
siderably exercised over the question
of title for the merged bodies. Many
members of the Chamber insist that
the amalgamated association be called
the Chamber of Commerce. Many
members of the Board insist that it
be called the Board of Trade. Some
20 SO far as to predict that inability
to agree upon a title will prevent con-
solidation.
Consider the spectacle such an out
come would present to the people OF
the District of Columbia and to the
members of Congress. Assume, for the
moment, that the proposed merger fails
because of disagreement over a name.
What respect would the community
and the Senators and Representatives
have for either organization there
afterf How seriously would they &C
cept the views of men who, because
they could not reach an agreement as
to q name, failed to establish the
much needed channel for expression OF
public thought
This is a time for the business men
of Washington-members of both the
Chamber of Commerce and the Board
of Trade-to show broad-minded pro-
gressiveness. What difference does il
make what the new, consolidated
organization is called! 1t does not
depend for it's success upon its
name, but upon what it does. Any
member of the CHAMBER of Commerce
could do just as effective work as he
is doing now or could possibly hope to
do in the future if his association
were called the Board of Trade. SINH
larly, any member of the Board Of
Trade could render just as effective
labor for the organization if it were
called the Chamber of Commerce.
If the joint merger committee
which it is believed will be brought
into being as a result of the Board Of
Trade meeting next week-the Cham
