SELECTS TRADE COMMISSION
Three Democrats and Two Progress.
sives Are Named-Hiteh in Con-
gress May Stop Action.

Washington.-President Wilson, five
months after the enactment Of the
federal trade commission law, sent to
the Senate for confirmation the names
Of the five members to constitute that
commission. Whether the nomina-
tons can be affirmed by March was
regarded as problematical among sen
ators in view Of opposition by individ.
ual senators to some Of the men nom
mated.
The three Democrats named by the
president are Joseph E. Davies, Mad
ison, Wis, named to serve seven years;
Edward N. Hurley, Chicago, for six
years, and William ]. Harris, Cedar
town, Ca, for five years The other
nominees are VIII H. Parry, Seattle,
Wash, progressive republican,
named for four years, and George Rub
lee, Cornish, N, H., regarded as a pro-
gressiye, for three years.
Consideration of the nominations
will first be given by the Senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce Chair
man Newlands said he would call his
committee to consider the list. He
thought the committee would be able
to recommend confirmation of all Of
the nominees within few days.
Democratic and republican senators
both declared there would be no hasty
consideration Of qualifications of the
men named, particularly in view Of the
great powers conferred through pro-
visions of the new law and also the
length of time which the president
took before making up his mind as to
the personnel of the commission. Pro
gressive republican senators have In
formally discussed several of the APP
pointees from time to time as their
names have been unofficially men
toned. Democratic senators, among
them members of the interstate COM
merce committee, already have given
the matter much thought.

ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
Carrying More Than One Hundred
Million Dollars, Measure Passes
the Senate.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. a dissenting
vote the Senate passed the army APP
preparation bill carrying approximate
ly $1O3,0O0,0OO, while the House aided
in clearing up legislation for the ses-
sion nearing close by passing the &c.
100000 Notifications bill.
The only debate on the army bill re-
lated to action of the Senate commit
tee in striking out of the House bill a
provision which would prohibit the
use OF stop watches and other so-called
scientific shop management methods
in government plants and deny appro-
priations for payment of bonuses to
employees. Senators Hughes, Martin
and others urged restoration Of the
provision, while Senator Root, declar-
ing the committee should be sustained,
made an appeal for the rewarding Of
ambition. The committee was sus-
tanned.
Discussion of the nations defense
marked the passage of the fortifica-
lions bill In the House. Representa-
tive Sherley of Kentucky declared
there was no danger Of American for
tifications being destroyed by hos
tile fleet; that the fleet of an enemy
would not seek to reduce fortresses If
1t had control nf the sea and would not
waste ammunition shooting at $1,000
yards.
