The Cost of a Villa.

When the Smiths suburban villa
was completed and they counted costs,
it appeared that the painters bill was
$50 in excess of the paperhanger' s
charges, the plumber charged $50
more than the painter; the mason re-
ceived $3.50 more than the plumber
and the carpenter, who charged $24
more than the mason, rendered a bill
three times as large as that of the
paperhanger. The lot cost half as
much as the house, so who can tell

JUMPS OUT


with President Wilson today on recent
submarine attacks on vessels carrying
Americans and on the Mexican situa-
ton While officials admit that the
submarine situation is filled with grave
possibilities, no action will be taken
until further reports have been re-
ceived. 1t was said today that no evil
dence so far has been received by the
state department proving that Ger
many's pledges have been violated. In
case there are any changes in Presi-
dent Wilson cabinet, it was under
stood today, that among those who
would be seriously considered are
Harry A. Garfield, president of Will
liams colleger, and son of former
President James A, Garfield, Samuel
candidate for governor of New York
and Vance C. Mccormick, chairman of
the Democratic national committee.
Wants to Retain Cabinet.
There have been many reports cir
culated regarding changes in the cabi-
net, but officials in close touch with
the president declared today that it is
almost certain that he will urge all
the present members of the cabinet
to remain at their posts and changes
are not expected unless members
themselves desire to quit the official
family. 1t is considered possible
however, that one or more members
reasons. Secretary McAdoo has been
frequently mentioned as one member
likely to resign and Representative
Carter Glass of Virginia, chairman of
the house banking and currency com :
mittee, has been suggested for his
post. 1t was stated definitely today
that Mr.. McAdoo can remain in the
presidents cabinet as long as he de-
sires and it was denied that he has
offered his resignation.
In case there is a vacancy on the
supreme court, Attorney General
Gregory, Secretary Lane or Senator
Walsh of Montana would be consid-
cred first for the appointment. Sec
rotary Redfield, Secretary Baker and
Secretary Daniels also have been men,
toned as members of the cabinet who
might desire to quit public life. but it
was stated definitely today that none
of them had signified any such inten-
ton.
Would Complete r. r. Legislation.
Secretary Tumulty is also expected
to remain in his present post altho he
could be appointed as a member of the
board of general appraisers in New
York if he desired. Reports have con-
nected Mr.. Tumulty's name with
cabinet position. but it was stated au-
thoritative1y today that he will not
become cabinet officer.
Because of the probability that the
next house will be Republican the
president is laying plans to procure
as much important legislation as pos
sible during the short session opening
next month. Measures he particularly
desires passed are those to allow
American exporters to establish com
mon selling agencies abroad. to en-
large the interstate commerce commits
sion and to create machinery for pre-
venting N the future a crisis similar
to that which recently threatened to
involve the country in a railroad
strike and other railroad legislation
suggested by him when the strike
threatened.
The president has begun prepare
ton of his next message to congress
He plans to urge that number of
these questions be taken up.

Bar HARDER Lighting Rates.

Thursday the public utilities commits
sion rendered Q decision in the case OF j..
L. Ketterlinus and others against the Bar
Harbor & Union River Power Co.
The petitioners made two allegations
first, that the company's rates are too
high; second, that its schedule is dis
criminatory. The commission states that
it neither approves nor disapproves the
rates, withholding final decision until the
appraisal OF the company's property, now
in progress, is completed; and it finds
that the "present schedule has not been
shown to be unduly discriminatory.
The whole case, the decision states, will
be retained for further action.
The above decision. it will be noted, is
merely As to whether the rates were dis
criminatory. A new complaint has now
been filed, taking up the matter OF rates
charged.
