The freight and transportation com
mittee Of the Retail Merchants Asso-
ciation decided today to seek to have
the store door delivery maintained.
Should this fail the association will ask
Tor a reduction in the freight rates to at
least make up the difference which will
be caused by the added expense OF hir-
ing their delivery.
Secretary Columbus received assur-
ances from the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association, of Baltimore. today,
that they will have a general meeting
directly and will cooperate with the
local association in fighting the Penn

Use local committee considered the
situation at meeting this afternoon,
but decided to withhold definite action
until the Baltimore organization has
come to a decision in the matter.
President X. p. Andrews will call
another meeting of the committee IL

HUNDREDS COMPETE
FOR WELL PAID JOBS
Examinations Are Begun for
Places Under Railroad VAL
uation Board.

With hundreds of candidates compet-
ing. the Civil Service Commission had
a field day in examinations today Of
those seeking places under the new
valuation board OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Nine examinations are on, and caDdi
dates not only appeared before the
Civil Service Commission here, but at
each of the headquarters throughout
the United States.
Repeated warnings that only those
we'll qualified should try for places un-
der the examinations started today, ap-
parently, had some effect, though the
list of candidates is perhaps the long
est on record. All the positions to be
filled pay good salaries. but they re-
quire experts.
Places Pay Good Salaries.
Examinations are on today for senior
mechanical engineers, appointments 10
be made to two grades salaries rang
ing from 5000 70 $4,000, and from 81, 500
to $2,7OO; for senior architect, tgo
grades. with same salaries as mechan-
ical engineers; for senior railway sig
naI engineers; same grades and salaries
for senior civil engineer, same grade
and salaries; for senior inspector Of mo-
tive power one grade sala ries, ranging
from Sl,SO0 to $500: senior structural
engineer, two grades and salaries the
same as other engineers senior cleo
trical engineers. same grades and sala-
ries.
Many OF the appointments to be made
under these examinations will be per-
manent. others will be temporary, run
ming for perhaps five years Just how
large a force will be necessary to keep
the valuation figures up to date once
they are ascerta!ned is still matter
of conjecture.
Railroads Themselves Stumped.
The valuing OF the railroad properties
is n tremendous undertaking when
it is understood that most OF the blY
railroads frankly confess that they
cannot value their Cwn properties
All the examinations started today
are to be practical in character, but
10 qualify, applicants must show the
necessary education. training. expert
ence, and fitness
In addition to the valuation examin-
atiors today, the commission Is also
holding examinations for architectural

WILSON IS URGED TO
RECOGNIZE REBELS
Capital Real Estate Man Wants
President to Back Up
RevoIutionaries. 80.

A suggestion that he recognize the
revolutionlsts Of China, because they
represent so per cent Of the citizens Of
the new republic, and are certain to
overthrow President Yuan shi Kai In a
short time, was made to President Will
son today by Austin p. Brown, a real
esate dealer living at 147 Fifteenth
street northwest, and who has offices In
New York and Washington.
Mr.. Brown was a close friend of DR..
WI Ting-fang, and frequently enter
tained that diplomat In his home here.
He has always kept in very close touch
with political and educational affairs in
China, and played no small part In get
ting Congress to agree to the recog-
milton Of the Chinese republic.
Revolution Wide Spread"
Il notice that the threatened revolu-
ton in China against President Yuan
Shi Kai will probably hasten the ap-
pointment Of an American minister to
China" writes Mr. Brown, in his letter
to the President.
In this connection hasten to inform
you that the revolution in China against
President Yuan Shi Kai Is not threaten
ed, for 1t is an actuality- In fact, II Is
the shape of actual and legitimate war
fare, which entities the belligerents to
recognition by this Government, as they
represent more than 80 per cent OF the
people Of China"
For this reason, Mr.. Brown suggests
that the President give the new min
lister a rowing commission during the
pendency Of the war, or else appoint
three special ENJOYS with rowing COM
missions from among the American
consuls now in China. This would
enable them to follow the fortunes
of war OF both parties and keep the
State Department here fully informed
as TO conditions abroad.
Traces Revolt to Murder.
"The chief cause of the revolution
in China was the murder Of the COM
missioner of education" said Mr..
Brown today. 'Dr. Sun, who was the
first provisional President wrote me
recently saying that the present ad-
ministration in China was directly
responsible for this outrage, and that
the organized revolt that followed
was the neucleus Of the present up
rising.
Yuan Shi Kai is but a provisional
President and he can never be elected
to that chair regularly. His ultimate
overthrow is morally certain, for the
regular army will eventually go over
to DR.. Sun, just as It did at the time
of the overthrow Of the Manchu
dynasty"
