WILSON NEEDS
BIG MEN FOR
OFFICE NOW
Death and Resignation From
Commerce Commission Causes
President Some Concern
FREIGHT RATE UP
TO THE NEW PROBERS
Nv JOHN EDWIN NEyIN.


staff Correspondent of The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-President
Wilson was today confronted by
problem the settlement of which in
wolves probably the most important
question that has yet arisen in his
administration. On three appoint
ments to be made by him hinge the
attitude of the administration toward
the great railway systems of the
country And on the decision Of
the men whom he shall name Will
hinge the cost Of living to every in
dividual American.
The death last night after three
DAYS illness OF John II. Marble, of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion virtually creates three vacancies
in the seven positions in that body.
Charles A. Prouty has, asked the
President to accept his resignation
so that he can take charge of the
physical valuation of the railroads
now in progress. The term of Jud-
son c. Clements is about to ex-
pire.
With the railroads demanding the
right generally to advance freight
rates on the ground that they are
now unable to earn guaranteed divi-
dends and interest payments on
bonds and the charge being fatty
made that oyercapitalization and not
meagre earnings is the real reason
for this, the commission today looms
big as a government agency
Next week, the commission begins
its hearing into the demand of the
Eastern Trunk Line Association for
authorization to increase rates. Louis
S. Brandeis, of Boston, will lead the
Opposition. He is already in the city,
and made il very plain today that he
will try to show by figures that ex-
cess of water in the capitalization Of
every one of the railroads affected
( is behind their demand. The West
iern roads planned 10 follow their
eastern competitors If the latter were
successful So that the makeup OF
the commission is admittedly vital tc
the people of the country.
Among those whose names have al
lready been presented to the President
for consideration are. Former Gov
lernor Glenn, of North Carolina, a
CLOSE friend of the President; Milo
Maltbie and Martin Decker, Of the
New York State Public Commission
Patrick j. Farrell, now solicitor o
the commission; d. o. Ives. Of Bos
ton; William Wilcox, formerly chair
man of the New York City Public Ser
/ vice Commission; Clifford Thorn, o
/ Iowa, and the chairman of the rail
road commissions of Oklahoma an
= Kansas.
1t is believed that Louis d. BRANDED
! can have one of the positions If b
a will accept, but it Is not believed thi
D he would consent. There was SON
4 talk of William c. Brown. who reti
e ed a few days ago as head of Il
? New York Central Lines to become
q practical farmer.
J. It was made clear today that 50 "a
I as these appointments are concerne'
e the question Of politics will not er

ONLY TWO CITY
BUILDERS AFTER
COLLEGE WORK

Much interest has been aroused
among architects and builders over
the refusal Of local contractors to
enter the competition for the Woman's
Affiliated College contract, at Newark,
because $40 is to be charged each con-
tractor for plans. From the start
the competition has been a cause Of
more or less trouble. II is under
stood that the rules under which the
competition for the plans was held Is
contrary to the rules Of the Ameri-
can Institute OF Architects. After the
plans were submitted, certain archi-
tect claimed that he had not been
treated fairly in the matter because
he had not been told that the commits
sion favored buildings Of colonial
style Prominent builders say that
the competition has been conducted
along the strangest lines that they
have ever seen. IL Is reported that
only two local contractors will enter
the competition and that outside con-
tractors viii compete with them for
the contract.
