West will Seek Place.

Secretary Lane, who resigned from the
commission to become q member of the
Presidents cabinet. is from California, as
was Mr.. Marble. The Pacific coast states
will surely ask representation on the COM
mission and probably will get it. The
death of Mr.. Marble will bring forward q
number of candidates from that section,
and the President will weed these out.
President Wilson went for game of
golf early this morning and did not re-
turn until his luncheon hour, 1 o'clock in
the afternoon. He has no business en-
gagements this afternoon.

Confer on Philippine Issues.

Secretary Garrison has had several con-
ferences with President Wilson with re-
spect To Philippine questions as well AS
to plans for the operation of the Panama
canal. Mr.. Garrison said that the plans
for the government OF the Canal Zone
are not sufficiently matured to give them
to the President In final form. He said

PRESIDENT MUST FILL
EEPLACES ON |. &C.
Wilson's Selections Vital and
He Will Give Them Deep
Thought.
Increase of Railroad Rates Must
Soon Be Finally
Passed Upon.

President Wilson will have three vacaIl-
cies to fill on the interstate commerce
commission since the sudden death OF
John III. Marble. and the selection or the
men for these places will give the Presi-
dent serious thought. II is said, inasmuch
as this commission. when its membership
IS completed. must pass upon the vital
question OF raising railroad rates
throughout the country to meet the de-
mand Of the railroads that they cannot
continue 10 earn fair profits with ey-
listing rates.
That the President knows the import
ance of the selections 10 be made BY him
Is shown III the care he has already
taken in considering the names OF canoi-
dates prior TO the death Of Mr. Marble
For weeks the President has been i'm
portuned by the friends of various men
and has received hundreds OF letters
bearing OH the subject. Charles A.
Prouty recently resigned to have the op-
portunity to take up the physical v;alua-
ton of railroads, the really great work
of the commission for the next four or
tive years. The term of Judson c. Glenn
ents, for many years on the commission.
Is about to expire, making the second
vacancy, while the death of Mr. Marble
creates the third.
Clements Has Backing.
Commissioner Clements has influential
backing for reappointment to the com
mission. All the members of the COM
mission have asked the President tC
again name the Georgian and have
pointed out that Mr.. Clements was a
pioneer in the work Of bringing railroads
under government control. A hundred
other men have backing for membership
on the commission, among them Milo
Maltby and Martin Decker of the New
York public service commission; Patrick
Farrell. solicitor of the commission, and
thoroughly familiar with its work: for
mer Gov. r. 3. Glenn of North Caro-
lima, who has been spoken of as standing
a mighty good chance of being named
d. .. Ives of Boston. and Lewis D. Bran
deis of Massachusetts. Mr.. Brandeis IL
by no means 4 candidate, as he could
have nearly any place in the govern
ment service he desires. The President
it is said, would be greatly pleased to
have Mr.. Brandeis go on the commits
sion.

the women were elected.
In the morning II was found that
about 20 horses had been turned loose
to Craze in the fenced fields of both
tn Andrews and Fairbanks farms The
owners of the farm caught two of the
horses and locked them i'm the barn and
stood guard over them When the
gypsies demanded them they were told
they must settle for the damage and
finally the wandering band gave up 50.
claiming that was all the money they
had with them.
Another gang of gypsies, who were
in Wilmington yesterday, passed
through Brattleboro this morning. 20

the different wagons turned down
Bridge street, each stopped and one or
more women alighted. They were met by

/ them put up the plea that she needed
shoes, but the officer won out and tn,
women founced off down the hill, hurl
ing remarks back at the officer as they
crossed the bridge to reioin theii

Every wagon had at least one extr,
horse and one of them was followed b,
