Judson has sought much desirable
legislation. His idea Is that the Fed
eral Capital should be a model city. so
that other cities may come to Washing
ton for tried and satisfactory practices
which would amply repay the country
at large, nearly one-half of whose in
habitants are urban dwellers, for all its
local expenditures.
He has persistently sought the reg
ulation of the public utilities and a bar
to ownership OF them by a foreign
holding corporation. He has urged
legislation that would secure a definite
program for the execution of public
works, the acquisition of park lands
and the extinction of the Districts debt.
He has been an earnest advocate of a
law that would give the public greater
control over private building operations.
In the interest of efficiency and
economy. Colonel Judson has advocated
strongly the establishment of a muni-
cipal asphalt plant, the municipal
handling of garbage and the like, and
the DEVELOPMENT of the water power Of
the Potomac TO take care of street
lighting.
Among his accomplishments are the
improvement and reduced cost of
street lighting; improvement of the
street cleaning system through the
abolition of the contract system; eX-
tension of the water distribution sys-
tenn. and the beginning of systematic
metering.

A determined fight will be waged on
the Rockefeller foundation bill, when it
comes up for consideration in the Sem

the Judiciary Committee, but Senator
Culberson strongly opposed it, and was
Joined by several other Senators.
Now. the fight will be transferred to

proposed would prevent the foundation
from using the securities of any cor

Some of the opponents Of the bill de-
clare that Rockefeller is trying to get
Congress to give him good name." and
that they are utterly opposed to. 1t, es-

When the bill came up before, the

OFFICERS TRANSFER
FORMALLY ORDERED
Major Harding to Return Here.
Lieut.. Col. Judson to Take
Place in Canal Zone.

Formal orders have been 1sused by
the War Department for the transfer
of Lieut.. Col. William Y. Judson, En-
gineer Commissioner of the District, TO
Panama. and the transfer from Panama
Of Major Chester Harding, Corps of En-
gireers. to Washington, where he be
comes Engineer Commissioner.
When Major Harding will actually
take office is not known. 1t was the
wish of Major Judson that his transfer
to the Panama Canal be made before
President Taft leaves office, and ten
taiive date of February IS was decided
upon, subject, however. to the necessi-
ties of the duties in which Major Hard
ing is now engaged. The War Depart
ment has sent a cablegram to the new
Engineer Commissioner asking when he
can reach Washington.
II he is engaged in work that will d.
laylay his departure from the Canal
Zone, it is possible that the actual
change of Commissioners will not occur
until nearly the close of Major Judson's
term, March Is.
Major Harding was decided upon by
President Taft as successor Of Major
Judson several weeks ago, when the-ap-
Capt. James +. Oyster as Commission
ers was announced.
The decision of President Taft was
then announced. The formal order Of
the aWr Department only was required
10 complete the appointment.
Major Judson's position in the canal
zone is left to the discretion of Colonel
Goethals. Temporarily, at least. he will
probably be assigned to some work i'm
the Gatun section in which Major Hard
ing Is now engaged.
Major Harding spent a part of the
year 1899 in Washington, then on duty
In the office of the chief of the En-
gineer Corps, and returned in 1901 rs

The successor of Major Judson was
born in Mississippi in 1866, attended the
University of Alabama, was then APP

Academy and after graduation attend
ed the engineer school at Willets Point,
y. Y. From 1892 until 1902, when he
vas chosen by Colonel Goethals as an
assistant in the Panama canal work,
Major Harding spent fourteen years in
Engineer Corps work III Chicago. at
Cairo, Ill, at Grand Rapids, and as
Washington.
In the latter capacity, Major Hard
ing became thoroughly familiar with
the requirements of the office to which
he has been appointed and the four
years assistantship was one of the
strong factors in causing President
Taft early to make up his mind to name
Major Harding as Commissioner Jud-

Thomas Grant, Isaac Cans and other
residents that they endeavor to obtain
an appropriation for the immediate ex-
tension of Sixteenth street from its

REGISTER COMPANY
IS SUEO AS TRUST
Department of Justice Files
Case Against McCaskey
Concern in Cleveland.

Accusing the McCaskey Register COM
pany of fierce and unfair competition
and describing its methods of attacking
business rivals with all the vigor COM
mandable, the Department of Justice
has brought suit for dissolution of the
company Under the Sherman antitrust
act. The petition was filed at noon yes
terday in Cleveland. Copies of the
document, which fairly bristles with
charges Of malevolent competitive meth
DDS, were given out here.
The company has twelve great sales
districts, one of which is located In the
District. with Edward T. Brigham as
sales manager.
The suit, which is one OF the last
which the department will file under
Mr.. Wickersham. says that the McCas-
key Register Company has accumulated
80 per cent Of the business Of the coun-
try in the manufacture and sale Of ac-
Perry A McCaskey, organizer of the
company at Alliance, Ohio, now is not

Charges are made in the petition of
conspiracy, attempted inonopolization and
of monopolization achieved. This was
brought about, it is related, by sup
pressing competitions. by a systematic
campaign of harassment by suits and
threats against competitors, agents and

MANN EXPECTED TO
Be MINORITY BOSS
Chicago CongressmanHas Much
Opposition, But None Seems
to Be Able to Lead.

CONGRESSMAN Jim" Mann of Chicago.
leader of the House Republicans. is go
ing to be honored with the minoriAy
leadership in the Sixty-third Congress.
So runs the talks in House Republi-
can circles as the final session of the
Sixty-second Congress draws to a close.
It is true there is considerable opposi-
tion to Mann. But he is apparently
going to be chosen leader once more for
all that.
And. in the strange metamorphoses
of politics, If il should come about
that the House In 1914 became Repub-
lican. this might mean that Mann
would be the Speaker of the Sixty
fourth Congress. Hence the leadership
is of no mean importance.
Much Growing.
The opposition to Mann has been
heard from a good deal lately. A lot
of growing and grumbling over his
leadership has been audible. Strange
to say. it has come to a considerable
extent from the Old Guard Republicans.
They are complaining that Mann has
been too lenient to the progressive Re-
publicans and that he has been too much
engrossed with details Of legislation to
take a large perspective.
AS for the progressive Republicans.
they would be glad to supplant Mann
with a progressive Republican, like
Lenroot Of Wisconsin. But they per-
ceive they cannot command the votes.
II they are to have an Old Guard Re-
publican for leader, they generally pre-
fer Mann
Under the circumstances, Mann will
probably be retained. Such opposition
to him as there is. finds 1t difficult to
unite on strong man against him.
What makes Mann a power in the
House Is his indefatigable industry.
No bill comes along that Mann does not
know about. He burns the midnight oil
looking up bills and reading committee
reports.
e., Is Ferret of Senate.
If there is joker contained in a.
piece of proposed legislation he is sure
to know about it and ferret it out as
surely as the trained hound trails down
quarry.
props of the old Cannon machine. has
had the sense to learn that IL the
House Republicans get anywhere they
have got to get out of the ancient ruts
of Cannonism. The result is that he is
strong with the moderate men OF both
factions of Republicans.
AS to Manns ability to make trouble
for the Democrats and everybody else
to whom he offers opposition. the entire
House is agreed. He is the prince of
troublemakers at the south end of the
Capitol. --- g-
