ORDER. INDIANA
Rates RAISED
Passenger and Freight Charges
Must Conform to Interstate
Fares by March "a.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Passenger
and freight rates in Indiana .Jere
ordered today by the interstate COM
merce commission to be rails d to
the level of interstate fares efIec-
tive March "a, 1921.
Rates on coal for distances of 30
miles and less are not affected. The
commission said interstate fares
were being defeated by passengers
buying tickets to points in Indiana
near the state line, leaving the
train, purchasing new tickets and
then resuming their journey on the
same train to final destination.
Regarding freight rates, the COM
mission said that apparently to re-
taliate for the action of the Illinois
commission in affording the llli-
nois producers an advantage in the
Chicago market, the Indiana COM
mission allowed no increases in the
rate from Indiana producing points
to Indianapolis and other large In
diana markets, thus giving the In
diana producers an advantage over
the Illinois producers, who must
ship across the state line to reach
the Indiana markets.
"The outcome is that inte-stata
traffic is being seriously interfered
with" the decision said.

BIZ, DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Special to The Argus.)

Washington, Feb. 16.-Defending

conference may not be fashionable.
but in the interest Of fair play
those who know the faeGsScouoern-
ing the alleged promise Of Mr.. VII
son to secure the cancellation OF
the. allied war debt have no hesi-
fancy In saying that far from well
coming the suggestions made in
formally to him, he actually resent
ed the idea. .
One man who was with the presi-
dent during the peace negotiations
tells story of q dramatic incident
that occurred at luncheon given
to President Wilson by the mem-
bers Of the French chamber Of dep
uties which corresponds to the
American house Of representatives.
Mr.. Wilson fully expected that
the affair would be altogether So
cial and was not prepared to talk
shop. The president OF the French
chamber was seated next to Mr.,
Wilson and his attempts to get Mr.,
Wilson to commit himself in pri-
vxte conversation to some plan for
the pooling Of war debts was re-
ceiyed with such . frown, Of dis

ONLY THREE
VACANCIES
IN. CABINET
Navy, Commerce and La
bor Portfolios Await
Harding Action.

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 16.-As
President-elect Harding continued
his conferences with the ranking
leaders Of his party today it was
indicated that completion of the
cabinet slate of the coming admin
istration waited only on selections
for the portfolios OF navy. COM
merce and labor.
BY all of those in touch with the
situation it was conceded, how
ever, that these selections might
not only lead to considerable de-
lay, but might also involve some
shifting of the assignments already
more or less fixed. 1t was con-
sidered unlikely that any an
nouncements would be made until
a day or two before Inauguration.
AS the list stood today, with
navy, commerce and labor vacant,
it was understood to contemplate
the appointment Of Charles Evans
Hughes of New York for secretary
of state; John W. Weeks of Massa-
chusetts for secretary Of war; An
drew Mellon of Pennsylvania Tor
secretary of the treasury; Will H
Hayes of Indiana for postmaster
general; Harry N. Daugherty ol
Ohio, for attorney general; Henry
Wallace of Iowa. for secretary o1
agriculture, and A. B. Fall OF New
Mexico for secretary OF the inter
ior.
For the navy portfolio Frank O
Lowden of Illinois is understood

tthcse Of John Hays Hammond Q
New York, and Herbert Hoover Q
California, have been mentio4e
for the commerce portfolio. Will
James NJ. Davis of Pennsylvani
and a number of others are bein
urged for secretary of labor.
This morning Harding agai
talked over the problem with Nj
Hayes and later in the day he ez
pected to begin a series Of confer
ences on the subject with Nj

Upon the United States in
large measure the governor de-
clared. "the solvency and financial
stability Of many other countries
depend. This fact greatly increases
the responsibility which rests upon
the American banking system and
calls for the exercise of sound
judgment and the strict observa-
ton of sound financial and eco
nomic principles.
The readjustment Of business,
Governor Harding asserted, is gen.
orally recognized as having passed
the crisis and Unlocking to the fu-
ture "a spirit of greater confidence
prevails" As the year closed, he
said there we're many indications
that business generally was begin
