Democratic Chairman William F. Mc-Comhs can be Ambassador to France If he wishes. T. W. Gregory, a lawyer of Austin, Texas, may be Ambassador to Mexico.

There is some doubt whether he would accept if the post were "offered him. Charles Crane, of Chicago, can go to St. Petersburg or Peking, if he desires, Augustus Thomas, the playwright, probably will be Ambassador to France if Mr. McCombs does not accept. Otherwise, the Ambassadorship to Germany may be offered him Frederick C.

Penfield, of Germantown, Pa, will be Ambassador to one of the European courts, probably Russia, Austria or Turkey. Henry N. Morganthau, of New York, and Thomas Nelson Page are being considered for Ambassadorships. Most of these men have been in Washington during the past week and significance is attached to the fact that some of them not only have been presented to President Wilson but have been introduced likewise to Secretary Bryan, of the State Department. Col.

Thomas Birch, an Intimate friend of both the President and Secretary Bryan, is likely to be Minister to Belgium. W. W. Bride, of Washington, probably will take up one of the legations In Latia America. George W.

New York, March 0. The police problem of New York city Is primarily one of administration according to the preliminary legislative report of the Aldermanic committee, appointed to investigate police conditions, which was made public today.

The report will be submitted to the Board of Aldermen tomorrow and If approved copies will he sent to the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and members of the State Assembly and Senate at Albany. The principle of home rule predominates the report. The committee urges that the question of opening liquor stores and saloons on Sunday he left to the local legislative authorities.

Much space is given to the administrative side of the Police Depart ment. Widespread Corruption Found. "We have received shocking evidence of a widespread corrupt alliance between the police and gamblers and disorderly house keepers," the report says. "The elimination of this grafting is one of the most difficult and important problems with which we are We feel that a police commissioner, with a fixed tenure, with an adequate staff of deputy commissioners, with an ample fund for the employment of a secret service entirely outside of the department would in time secure and maintain an administrative efficiency that would reduce this evil to a minimum." The committee opposes the proposal for two departments for the enforcement of the laws for the prevention of gambling and suppression of the so-called social evil. In this connection the report says Against "Moral "To place the responsibility in the hands of 200 or 300 'morals policemen' would have the tendency to lose, the Information which would result from the dally observation of 10,000 policemen covering every square inch of -the city of New York.

Evidence before us has shown that a proper system of reports from the latter would be of inestimable value to a commissioner in ascertaining conditions and enforcing these laws." The committee recommends that a law bo enacted authorizing the Police Department to photograph and make finger prints and measurements of all persona held by a magistrate or on a bench warrant upon a charge constituting a felony.

Several hundred men and women gathered here this afternoon in a massmeeting of protest against the disturbance of the suffrage parade on Pennsylvania avenue last Monday and the conduct of the police along the line of inarch. Major Richard Sylvester, superintendent of police, and his force were criticised for "mismanagement and incompetence," and those who interfered with the procession were called "brutal loafers." The speakers were Senators Clapp, of Minnesota; Shafroth and Thomas, of Colorado, and Works, of California; Louis D. Brandeis, "Corporal" James Tanner and Charles Edward Russell. The greater part of the day's speech-making was devoted to arguments in favor of suffrage for women, and the references to last Monday's trouble were large ly incidental. Senator Clapp assured the audience that woman suffrage throughout the country was a matter of but a few years.

"Last Monday's spectacle," he said, "was a sad one. It is a sad thought that pure womanhood cannot march along the streets of the capital of a free nation without insult. The fact that brutal, depraved manhood could come to insult American women is evidence of the Btralts to which the evil political system in this country has come in its fight against progress. I believe last Monday's episode will bring the country to the realization that you cannot league yourself with wrong against progress and escape the responsibility for the acts of the substratum of supporters of wrong." Senator Thomas told the audience that the disorder of Monday marked a new point of progress in the suffrage campaign. "The movement," he said, "has passed through the stages of ridicule and argument and has now reached the point where its opponents resort to physical opposition.

Prom this point it is but a short distance to victory, and the Incident of last Monday will soon be forgotten In the blaze of glory that will attend the final extension of suffrage to women in every State in the Union." The audience received the suffrage arguments of the speakers with enthusiasm and a number of telegrams from suffrage leaders all over the country protesting against Monday's disorder were cheered.

Among SENATOR MOSES E. CLAPP CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL ARBITRATORS AT WORK Considering Controversy Between Roads And Firemen.

NO APPEAL FROM DECISION Three Men, Acting Under Krdman Law, Will Settle Wage Question By April 2 Daily Sessions. New York, March 9. Three men will meet in this city tomorrow to arbitrate, under the Erdman law, the differences between 54 Eastern railroads and their 000 firemen. Public sessions will be held from day to day to hear the evidence presented by the parties to the dispute. The board, which- was named after prolonged negotiations between the confer ence committee of managers of the roads and a committee representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine-men, consists of W.

W. Atterbury, vice- president of the Pennsylvania Railroad: Albert Phillips, third vice-president of the firemen's organization, and William L. Chambers, of Washington, formerly chief justice of the Internationtl Court at Samoa and a member of the Spanish Treatv Claims Commission. Mr. Chambers was named by Government officials, designated in the Erdman law as the third or neutral member of the board, after the representa tives of the firemen and the roads had failed to agree upon a man.

Decision By April 2. The decision of the board must be rendered by April 2," and from it there can be no appeal. The dispute has been in progress more than a year, and at one time last month, through the failure of the two parties to agree upon a method of arbitration, threatened to result in a strike "of the firemen of the Eastern roads serv ing a territory with a population of The firemen had voted almost unani mously in favor of a strike if their demands for arbitration by a board of three members under the Erdman act was not granted, while the roads held out for arbitration by a board of six or sevpn mem bers, such as had a few months before adjusted a similar dispute between the roads and their engineers. At the last moment the committee nf railroad managers gave In under protest, ana on February 18 reference of the differences to an arbitral board under the Erdman law was agreed upon. The problem to be solved by the Jboard Is essentially one of wages.

The firemen ask for increases based upon the sizes of the locomotives fired, which would give them a wage of from $2.40 to $4 a day of 10 hours or less. On the heavier locomotives two firemen are demanded. The railroads, while conceding that the firemen ought to have more pay. declare their demands ptd. sive and estimate that the Increased cost to tne lines would aggregate $9,600,000 a year, or 35 per cent, of the firemen's present wages.

Can't Stand Increase, Companies Say it is expected that the roads will seek to demonstrate to the arbitral board that something must give way if railroad em ployes are anowea to maintain an upward pressure upon wages while the Inter-State Commerce Commission keeps freight and passenger rates down and that if the board grants the firemen an Increase in wages it should recommend to the commission proportionate advances in rates. The firemen, according to President W. S. Carter, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, will bend their efforts to the task of proving their demands for increases are justified. in themselves, regardless of what rates the roads are permitted to charge the public.

F. SHAFROTH MARYLANDERSAFFECTED House Reorganization Costs 4 Congressmen Present Assignments. K0NIG AND SMITH NOT CHANGED By 3Vew Plan Talbott, Covington, Llnthlcnm And Lewis Will Serve On One First-Class Committee. Washington, March 9. As a result of the Democratic caucus action in designating 13 first-class committees, members of which cannot hold other committee assignments, four members of the Maryland delegation in the House will lose seven committee places in the next Congress.

Congressman George Konig, of the Third, and Congressman Frank O. Smith, of the Fifth district, a new member, are not included in the list. Mr. Konig is not a member of the committees designated as the "one-member" bodies, and Mr. Smith had not received any committee assignments.

Congressman J. Harry Covington, of the First district, is on one first-class committee and two minor, committees. His major committee is the Inter-State and Foreign Commerce, of which he will become one of the ranking members as a result of the committee reorganization plan. Mr. Covington has charge of the lighthouse legislation on this committee and is one of the leading authorities on the Panama Canal legislation.

The two minor committees whiA he will vacate are Elections and Industrial Arts apd' Expositions. The Intcr-State and Foreign Commerce is regarded as the third ranking committee in the House. Talbott Loses One Place. Congressman J. Fred C.

Talbott, of the Second district, is on two major committees Naval Affairs and Banking and Currency and is chairman of the Committee on the Disposition of Useless Executive Papers. Mr. Talbott will be compelled to give up the chairmanship he holds and one x)f the other committees. It is probable he will retain the Naval Affairs berth, because he is one of the ranking Democrats on it and also because the committee handles the legislation affecting the Naval Academy. Congressman J.

Charles Linthicum, of Baltimore, holds berths on the Foreign Affairs Committee first class and the Elections Committee. He will retain his place on the Foreign Affairs and let the Election Committee go by the board. Both Mr. Covington and Mr. Linthicum have been compelled to draft reports for the Elections Committee when their time was needed in more important work.

Lewis Seeks FostofHce Committee. Congressman David J. Lewis, of the Sixth district, has places on two major committees Labor and Military Affairs. Mr. Lewis, however, wants a berth on the Postoffice and Post Roads, another major committee, in order that he can give more tlma parcel post problems.

It is probable, therefore, his request for a berth on the Postoffice Committee will be granted and he will give up his other committee assignments. Mr. Konig has places on the Immigration and Naturalization Committee and the District of Columbia. Neither of these committees has been designated as, first class. He will probably retain berths on both of them.

The Democratic caucus placed 12 committees in the same class as the Ways and Means for two reasons, the most Important of which was to give members of the important committees of the House a free hand to attend all meetings and devote their time to the committee's work. The other was to create some vacancies for the new Democratic members of Congress. C0NLEY TO RETIRE AS LEADER Colonel Banghman May Be Chosen Democratic Chairman In Frederick Frederick, March 9.

The Car dinal was the guest of honor yesterday at a luncheon given, by. Mrs. Thomas J. gemmes SENATOR JOHN D. WORKS SCHEDULE IS PUZZLE Democratic Tariff Makers Find It Hard To Deal With.

WORKING TO AVOID A SPLIT Further Reduction On Raw Wool Likely Southern Makers Of Cheap Goods For Protection. Washington, March 9. Schedule in which every man, woman and child is interested, since it, embraces clothing blankets and all things made of wool, is proving a stumbling block to the Democratic tariff makers. So also is the cotton schedule, which is in the same catagory. Although tentative rates have been agreed upon in nearly every other schedule, wool and cotton have been held up while the members of the Ways and Means Committee are trying to compose their differences.

The new woolen schedule will certainly not be any higher on the average than the Underwood rates of the last Congress, which were based on a duty of 20 per cent, ad valorem on raw wool. The indications are that the Ways and Means Committee will report a bill with raw wool rate around 15 Der cent, ad valorem. This will be mucn more than a 50 per cent, reduction from the present rate. The committee will not hrlng in a tree wool bill. Radical revisionists believe that theoretically raw wool should be made free, but they realize that the committee wouia have much trouble in passing such a meas ure through the House.

There certainly would be, a split in the Democratic ranks, since scores of Democrats from the Middle and Far West wold resist free wool. As it is, many Democrats are threatening to fight a reduction from the old Under wood bill, though Representative unaer-wood, chairman of the committee, is disposed to accept a further cut. The impression is growing among the Democratic tariff makers that no tariff, duties can restore the wool-growing industry in this country to thp position it once had They say the farmers are raising fewer sheep every year and that this country must look elsewhere for its raw wool This idea is fostered by the Democrats from New England. They would like to see free raw wool for the benefit of their mills, but they will not make a fight for fear of causing a serious split in the Democratic ranks at the outset of the new Administration. A reduction in the duty on raw wool will mean a corresponding reduction in the dijties on manufactured articles of wool, which were reduced about 40 per cent, from the present law in the first Underwood bill.

Secretary of State Bryan has yielded so far to the Underwood idea that he will not use his Influence for free wool. The misunderstanding between the House leader and the Nebraskan over this matter two years ago has been cleared away. The cotton rates are troubling the committee because of the influence that is being brought to bear on Southern members who have cotton factories in their districts. The cheaper grades of cotton cloth are made largely in the South nowadays and these, manufacturers do not relish the idea of having their protection taken away. The Underwood Cotton bill of the last session made some radical cuts in the rates on cotton goods.

It was charged by the Republicans that In the case of the cheaper cotton cloth made in the Southern factories there had been several actual increases of rates. Mr. Underwood declared that this was not the intention of the committee and that he did not believe the Republicans were right.

Dr. Daniel Carson Goodman, the alienist, after a study of President Wilson's features, says "At the first inquisitive scrutiny one sees the high forehead, the ra tier Jong upper lip and not prominent jaws the face of an intellectual. Then you see the force of character evidenced in the cer tain contraction of the muscles that clothe his face.

They seem active, ready, as they lie pliant, and match up with the quiet repose In his eyes. "But it is the mouth in this characterful countenance that speaks the most understanding. At first, as I studied the lips, I became a bit frightened. I thought I perceived a certain weakness, petulancy, dormant in them. And I looked again, beyond the feeling and sympathy of their curves, and I saw something cold, firm, reposeful, fearless, convictional.

"I have in front of me a good photograph of Mr. Wilson, and since I feel his mouth to be the conspicuous feature I try isolating it from the rest of the face by exposing only the lips. And now there is no face, for now I am confronted by lips unyielding, full of iron, and cold like the reefed canvas of a sail. And the mouth becomes for me now a mouth merciless and driving a mouth that speaks for a character that will not fall." Dr. Charles H.

Hughes, another alienist, says "Woodrow Wilson's character is reflected in his face. He has one of the best faces I have ever seen. There is something almost fascinating about it. While his is the face of the student, it indicates an exceptionally broad mind and the expressions are those of a man with a big heart and a kindly nature." REPORT AGAINST PRISONS' HEAD Ten Charges Made By Governor Snlzer's Commission. Albany, N.

March 9. Governor Sul-zer made public today the report of the commission of inquiry concerning the administration of State prisons under Superintendent Joseph F. Scott. Ten charges are made by the commission, which, in its opinion," "require explanation and, if possible, justification by the Superintendent of State Prisons." No recommendation is made, but the commission submits its conclusions to Governor Sulzer for his "careful consideration" and for such action as he "may deem for the best interests of the State." The principal charge made against the superintendent is that he permitted Frederick H. Mills to remain in the office of prison sales agent after a report was made to the Governor by John D.

McMahon In September, 1912, that Mills was drawing a salary from the. State and conducting a private business of his own at the 6ame time. This, the commission says, continued under a private understanding with the Superintendent of Prisons. Another allegation is that under, Colonel Scott's administration Harry K. Thaw received unusual liberties in Matteawan State Hospital, that he was permitted to receive callers frequently and to retain In his possession large amounts of money.

The commission severely criticises Colonel Scott for failing to order a prosecution after Dr. John W. Russell, who was superintendent of the Matteawan Hospital, reported to him that John Nv Anhut had offered him a bribe of $20,000 to release Thaw. Other charges involve complaints made by Democratic leaders of Clinton county in relation to the management of Clinton Prison, at Dannemora.

OLEO COMPROMISE DEFENDED Former Secretary JIacVeagh Says There Was No Frand. Chicago, March 9. Franklin MacVeagh, former Secretary of the Treasury, today issued a statement In which he defended his ruling in the oleomargarine prosecutions which resulted in the Government's acceptance of $123,000 in settlement of alleged frauds through which the Govern-ment, it is claimed, was defrauded of $1,200,000. Mr.

MacVeagh asserted that no intentional fraud existed in the cases and that the settlement was on recommendation of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. "As the oleomargarine compromise cases have been more or less misunderstood," he said, "I am quite willing to state the fl.cts "These were not fraud cases. No fraud was charged by the Government. No fraud was committed and no fraud therefore was compromised. "These manufacturers were using a cottonseed oil with color which was declared to be natural.

"The oleomargarine people brought the oil to the attention of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The oil then was tested throughout many weeks by the chemical laboratory of the, bureau, by the laboratories of the olemargarlne manufacturers and by private laboratories. It also was tested for sulphur continuously by the Bureau of Animal Industry. No one could find any artificial color. "Finally the manufacturers of oleo-margarino connected with these cases became apparently so certain of the legality of this oil that they began to use It with the knowledge of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, but without the bureau's final decision.

"The bureau meant still to keep Its mind open, but was at the end of its resources at the time. The oil had thus been openly used in larger or smaller quantities for some months when the bureau by new chemical inquiries became satisfied that the oil, after all, was artificially colored by sulphur. "When this was announced all manufacturers of oleomargarine quit using the PtU" Rescue, declined to take on board his craft vtwo mules, two parrQts and a monkey which were in the Lugano, so they were left in the steamship.
