STEPS TAKEN TO END
FIGHT OVER PATRONAGE
President Wilson and Senators Hold
Conference at White
House.

Efforts to settle the differences be-
tween President Wilson and the Sen
ate over federal appointments were be-
gun today at a conference at the White
House between the President and Sen
ators Stone, Thomas and johnson, COM
prising the subcommittee of the Senate
finance committee. which has under
consideration the nomination of George
Hampton for collector of internal rev.
enue of the Camden district in New
Jersey.
The President has been told directly
that some Of his advisers have MADE
mistakes in recommending men for ap-
pointment who cannot be confirmed by
the Senate because Of senatorial
courtesy.
Ewing Bland, whose nomination Tor
United States marshal OF the western
district of Missouri was recently re-
jected by the Senate, was also men
toned. It is reported that man en-
tirely satisfactory to Senators Stone
and Reed will be found.
The Senate finance committee Will
meet in a few days to receive the re-
port of the subcommittee on Mr.. Will
sons attitude.
The nomination of Hampton has been
strongly opposed by Senator MARITIME
of New Jersey and the subcommittee
which visited him today, composed of
democrats only, wanted him to fully
comprehend the situation.

$644,0OO BOND ISSUE
SDEN|ED TO RAILWAY
Public Utilities Commission Turns
Down Application for I'm
provement.

The public utilities commission today
denied the application OF the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company for
permission to issue bonds to the amount
of $644.000 to finance extensions. i'm
provements and betterments made be-
tween January 1. 1909. and November 80,
1914, and for other improvements to be
undertaken. including the extension Of
its tracks on 18th street. between F
street and Pennsylvania avenue. and
the building of an underground conduit
system in Anacostia between the Ana
costa bridge and Talbert street.
Necessary Information Lacking.
The action of the commission is based
on its belief that 1t should not issue
bonds to cover cost of improvements
made prior to November 80, 1914, for
the reason that it is not in possession
of information showing the relation
which the value Of the property bears
to the company's outstanding stocks and
bonds. This information cannot be sup
piled until the commission has finished
the valuation of the properties of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany.
Regarding the funds needed for i'm
provement contemplated, namely, the
Anacostia conduit system, which, it is
estimated, will cost 100000, and the
18th street extension, the commission
states 1t is ready to consider an ap-
plication for a bond issue to cover this
work alone.

done by employers and the Industrial
Commission before every plant that
comes within the law shall be brought
under its operation said Harry Car

prospect that before the list Of Sep,

viii have been made by most of the
employers to comply with the terms
Of the law.
Some employers are going into the
arrangements with an idea that they
will test the law in the courts when
a case shall arise under its provis-

coal operators and some oil field op-
orators, the former having no rate at
all and the latter a high rate"

PRIVILEGE OF 3 CENT
BOOST; SOME LOWER
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 25.--A new re-
alignment of rates on petroleum Oil
and its bi-products in carloads from
the Mid-Contident field, including the
producing and refining points in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, was ordered to-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Numerous railroads were ordered
to establish a new rate by November
I. The re-adiustrent involves in
creases as well as decreases. The
commission holds that the present
rate of seventeen cents per hundred
from the Mid-Continent field to st
Louis is too low, and fixed twenty
cents as reasonable. other rates in
clude Des Moines, 20 cents from Kan
sas and % 1-2 cents from Oklahoma;
Chicago 25 cents.
The commission also reaffirmed its
approval of the increased rates from
Kansas to New Orleans and to other
gulf territory.
