THE HORNING OREGONIA3. 3IONDAY.' SEPTEMBER 11, 1916. FIVE coins OtJ WILSON'S HANDS Selection of Members of Four Yet Unappointed to Be Made Carefully. ONE REPORT IS EXPECTED President Hoping Mexican Commls- elon Will Reacb. Agreement JJe- $ tore Election Opponents to f- Scrutinize Appointments. BT JOHN CALLAM O'LAUGHLIN. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 10. (Special.) President Wilson has five treat commissions on his bands. . Each of these commissions Is of di rect importance to the Interests of the Nation as well as to the oolltlcal pros- ?ects of Mr. Wilson. All have been au thorized by Congress. They are known as: The American section of the commis sion how endeavoring to compose the Mexican situation at New London, Conn. The Joint commission of Congress made up of five members of the Sen Ate and five members of the House in terstate commerce committees, .which will formulate a programme of rail road legislation for enactment Into law. The commission directed to Investi gate the effect of the operation of the eight-hour day on railroads. ' The Tariff Commission. The Commission to administer the ,Bew shipping law. Two to Be NHmerf art Once. It will be the duty of the President without delay to appoint the members of the Tariff and Shipping Commis sions. The former will be made up of three Democrats and three Republicans; the latter will comprise five experts and the express Intent of the law Is that three of them shall be Democrats and two Republicans. The strike com mission will consist of three men, but they probably will not be named until after the elections. The President's appointees '-on the Tariff and Shipping Commissions will be scrutinized with the utmost care by the Republicans. If they Bhould be be low the standard, the President will be denounced throughout the country as having subserved the Interests of the Nation to the demands of his political supporters. Realizing this fact, it Is the purpose of Mr. Wilson to get men of the highest caliber on both Com missions. He already is pledged to one political appointment on the Tariff Commission that of Daniel C. Roper, of South Carolina, who resigned the of fice of Assistant Postmaster-General to take part in the management of the Democratic campaign. The man suggested for the head of the Tariff Commission Is Secretary of Agriculture Houston, whose adminis tration has pleased the farmers, ac cording to the Information given out at the White House. Bernard N. Baker, of Baltimore, a well-known shipping expert, who has been an adviser of the Treasury Department In the framing of the shipping- law. and William "C. Delancy, of Philadelphia, director of the bureau of war risk insurance, are slated as members of the Shipping Commission. President Relle on Mr. Lan. It is the hope and intention of the President that the Mexican commission shall finish its labors before the No vember elections, that he may have an agreement between the two countries which will be an effective answer to the Republican charges that the Mexi can situation has been mishandled. Mr. Wilson places the greatest reliance in Becreary Lane, the head of the Ameri can section, who is astute and tactful and who has been in thorough' accord with the policy pursued by the Chief Executive in connection with Mexico. It is the belief of the organization that an agreement will develop at New London, which will assure protection of foreign life and property In Mexico and the safety of the frontier. More than that is not hoped for, but if it ehould be possible to Induce Carranza to make pledges with reference to in ternal conditions that will be obtained also. The"-Administration realizes that Its whole railroad policy will be attacked by the Republicans and it is preparing to make a strong defense. With refer ence to such matters as Government control of hours and wages, supervision of Issues of stacks, and bonds. Govern ment ownership, etc., it will be pointed out that they will be carefully consid ered by ' the -Joint commission of the two houses of Congress. The operation of the eight-hour law for the engin eers, firemen, conductors and trainmen, which begins -on January 1, will be ob served by a commission, but its report will not be available before December a year hence. The President will be criticised, therefore, for the policy he forced upon Congress. i The Tariff Commission will not be able to do more than effect its organ ization before the November elections.

If Saints Were Able to Live In Those days, Bald Pastor, All Could - Be Saintly Now. .. - - - "The saints " In the house of Caesar salute you." This salutation was writ ten to the church at Phillippi by Paul while Paul was preaching on the streets of Rome during the reign of Nero, "the last of the mad Emperors of Rome." Last night at . the . First Methodist Church Dr. 'Frank L. Loveland told his interested listeners that if saints were able to live in the environment created by Nero and the spirit of his age. peo ple today should be able with little effort to "live 'victorious lives under any conditions." Dr. Loveland prefaced his sermon with a study of the geographical loca tion of "the golde-n house of Nero" that stood on the Palatine hills. He outlined the conditions of the empire at the ascendency of Nero and gave his' auditors, a view of the home life under which the wicked Emperor was raised. Nero's parents. Dr. Loveland said, were both monsters of impurity and Immorality. "Tffie fountain from which spurted the nastlness of Nero," said Dr. Loveland, "had its inception in his father. Beside Nero's mother. Lady Macbeth was an angel of light. Beside Agrippina, Cleo patra was a paragon of virtue. Beside Agrippina, Jezebel was a saint." DRYS INVADE DRY STATE PROHIBITION VOTE URGED TO IM PRESS LARGER PARTIES. Candidates for President and Vice- President Will Make Eight Stops la North Dakota Today. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10. After a day's rest here the Coast Prohibition special train left tonight for North Dakota, where eight meetings will be held tomorrow. North Dakota Is dry and has been for many years, so there is nothing to gain locally there, but the speakers aboard, including J. Frank Hanly and Dr. Ira Landrith, candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President, respectively, will urge voting a "dry" ticket for the effect it will have on the Republican and Democratic parties. They realise and will tell their audiences that the Prohibition ticket cannot win Nation ally, but that also "dry" votes this year will bring enough pressure to bear on the dominant parties to force them into adopting "dry" planks In 1920. What will becqme of the Prohibition party then the speakers aboard the special do not attempt to forecast. Mr. Hanly's voice, which gave him much trouble, was Improved today. He is under the oare of Dr. M. Bottoms, whoso services were contributed by one of the candidate's admirers. Bishop of Cork Named. ROME, via London. Sept. 10.

RETALIATION IS PROPOSED Advantage From Intercepting Mails Such That Ofriclala Suggest For bidding Imports of Products Affected by Legislation. WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. Any proof that Great Britain is using: trade In formation secured from Intercepted neutral mall In her -struggle for com mercial supremacy probably will be fol lowed by vigorous steps by the Ameri can Government to secure abandonment of the policy. A statement was made during a tar iff debate In Parliament recently by David Lloyd George, the British war secretary, that such Information prop erly could be put to "any public and national use." Discussion of the subject brought out the suggestion that -although the Phelan amendment denying the use of American mail, cable, telegraph and express privileges to citizens of for eign countries interfering with Amerl can ma-ils was stricken out of the retal iatory legislation recently passed by Congress, the measure as enacted con tains authorization which might be construed as broad enough to allow the President to retaliate against un fair use of the censorship. ' Many officials believe that If it can be shown that British firms have un fair advantage over American firms because of legislation - passed as a re sult of Information gained illegally from the censorship, the President could forbid Importation to this coun try of the products of whatever Indus tries are ttXiected. A (ho disui4 The whole world knows that when Kreisler sets his fingers to the bow of his violin he summons music of the rarest beauty. And every Victor Record he makes is a page upon which is engraved the brilliance, the magnetism, the dignity of his art. Haunted by the beauty of a forgotten theme of Beethoven's, Kreisler has woven the melody into a glorious composition of his own, and he plays it with alluring charm as his latest con tribution to the Victor library of great music. All Kreisler's poetry of feeling, his mastery of instrument, are here! And every lover of the violin, every lover of lyric melody in its high estate, will want this Victor Record. Rondino (On a theme by Beethoven) Fritz Kreisler 1 . Victor Red Seal Record 64600. Ten-inch, $1. Kreisler s art requires the finest of violins and tne Victrola is as much his instrument as the violin. He makes records only for the Victrola because it expresses his art with unerring truth. And this is the reason why practically all the world's greatest artists are Victor artists. Go to your nearest Victor dealer today and have him play for you the new Kreisler record or any other Victor music you wish to hear. He will also gladly demonstrate to you the various styles of the Victor and Victrola $10 to $400. Victor Talking Machine Co., Camden, N. J. Important warning.

American retali ation, it Is argued, could be pushed as far as desired. No surprise was felt here at the statement of Lord Robert Cecil, British Minlsterf Trade, that "It is not likely that Great Britain will change her blacklist policy at the request of the United States."
