The Next Chief of Staff.

60 strong is the conviction in Demo
cratic circles that Major General Leonard
Woods resignation as chief OF staff VIII
be accepted by the coming administrator
that the selection of his successor IS
being discussed with ever-increasing IN
terest. 1t is generally conceded that the
choice Of President Wilson will be limited
IN four general officers. They are Major
General Barry. Major General W. II. Car
ter, Major General Arthur Murray ana
Brigadier General Crozier. but present in
dications are that the race IS between
Generals Murray and Barry, with the
chances slightly in favor OF the former
man. General Crozier has earnest sup
porters but they seem to be confined al
most entirely TO Republicans. who will
not. presumably, have much weight with
the Wilson administration. There is some
political but. so far as can be learned no
army sentiment in favor Of General Car
ter, and the more experienced Democrats
do not believe his selection would be wise
General Barry, who is a Catholic, VIII
probably receive strong support from Sen
dtOr " GOTindH anu Otner members Oh ms
Church. but, on the other hand. General
Murray will have the support of Speaker
Clark and other influential non-Catholic
Democrats. General Murray has a singu-
larry good record of executive achieve
ment 10 his credit and has made his
mark as an economist as well as an adj
ministrator. having actually reduced the
number of coast artillery posts from sew
enty-eiSht to thirty-two while he was
chief of artillery. and having thus effected
an annual saving of over $4,000. Achieve
ments of that character are likely 10 APP
peal TO the Democrats, who are generally
opposed to anything approaching extrava-
gance in military administration and who
would naturally be predisposed toward an

prevails in Washington that Representa-

CHEMICAL HEARINGS END
New Tariff Will Be Almost
Identical with Vetoed Bill.

Washington. Jan. The chemical
schedule Of the revised tariff legislation
TO be enacted by the coming extra scs-
sion OF Congress was closed to-day so
far az public hearings arc concerned.
The indications are that the Democratic
majority OF the House Committee on
Ways and Means will sustain almost
intact its chemical schedule as embodied
in the separate bill that passed both
houses, though vetoed
The only indication of a possible change
in the schedule during the long testi-
mony to-day was while w. j. Gibson. a
New York lawyer, was arguing for a ~
per cent duty OH spices and on all other
Injuries.
Wouldn't il tend TO cut of importa-
tons II We put higher duty on spices"

that spices. running from to is cents

spices. nor does any one take them from

The chemical schedule covers products
from acid To- zinc. and did not evoke as
strong opposition as is expected by the
committee to be aimed at several Of the
other schedules.

Truth Crushed to Earth.

Those who have really understood the
Tart administration have always been
confident that in time its merits would be
appreciated and its enemies confounded
but few have expected to see the wisdom
OF President Taft proved even before the
end OF his term Events are, how
ever, rapidly demonstrating the correct
ness Of. his policies and acts and the folly
or insincerity Of his political opponents
within his own party. An instance Of
this is afforded by the stout champion
ship of the much-maligned Commerce
Court, not by the railroads. but by as
sociations of shippers. This court will
as the result of legislation growing out
of the carefully cultivated hostility to it,
expire by limitation on March 4 unless
Congress shall take action TO continue
it's existence. Realizing this fact. vari
Gus shippers organizations have sent
representatives to Washington TO plead
with the Appropriations Committee for
the continuance Of the court on the very
grounds advanced by President Taft for
its support. namely, that its expeditions
handling OF cases, as contrasted with
courts. greatly benefits shippers in their
litigation with the railroads. and that
its rapidly increasing familiarity with
the technology Of the railroads makes
for greater justice 10 the shippers.
Among those who have appeared in be
half of the court by counsel are the Ma
tional Hay Association, represented by
Il. A. Dean. of Auburn, y. Y; the Rail
way Commission OF the State of Louisi-
ana arid several Western shippers assoc

istration I'm California, CLAWS having

pinchot controversy. and now shippers

Court, all Of which must make sad read
ing for every enthusiastic Bull Moose.

CUBAN COMMERCE THRIVES
Gained in 912, Despite War
U. S. Best Customer.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. Notwithstanding
the revolution which badly crippled its in
dustries last year. Cuba's commerce and
prosperity in 1912, as shown by statistics
substantially increased over 1911.
The value of the exports in 1912 was
s107. 6s6 as against $685. 1888 in 1911. The
imports amounted to $50, 1877, 4i6 in 1912, and
$50. 297. 9Sa in 1911. The exports to the United
States were Sl,455.239, and the imports
$50 COG, 927. Trade with the United King
dom ranked second.
The Department Of State regards these
figures as ample evidence Of the interest
the United States has I'm Cuba. The sta
tistics were cited to-day in a discussion
of the opposition to the proposed am
nesty act contemplated by the Gomez ad-
ministration. Commercial interests in the
United States have urged the State De-
partment to protest against the possible
liberation of thousands of prisoners and
representations have already been made
