CARDINAL'S GODY
TO LIE IN STATE
IN LATE HOME
Baltimore. March 25. ( I. N. &) -With
a definite date eer for : the
funeral of Cardinal Gibbons, prep
arations, were under way today for
the reception : of the : distinguished
clergy and laymen who will be pres
ent at the last sad rites.
The body of the' late cardinal will rest
in the arch-episcopal residence until late
on Kaster Sunday..
BODY TO GO IJT CBIPT ' ' ' -
It then 'will be removed to the cathe
dral. where the body will lie in ; state
until the close of the funeral services
Thursday The body will then be placed
in a niche In the crypt under the high
altar, where Jt will remain so long as
the presenfsathedral stands, r ' f
Despite the dSath of Cardinal Gibbons,
Baltimore will remain primal see of the
Catholic church in the United States, it
was stated today. There : will be no
shift of authority since the choice of a
successor to the archbishopric her in
volved no. question of seniority or rank.
ADttTXISTBATOR TO BTUS
This mean,: that Baltimore will re
main the seat of an archbishopric, a suc
cessor to the cardinal to be named by
Pope Benedict XV at some future date
from among the bishops or archbishops
of the United States. i .-.'
It is believed, however, that the suc
cessor to the cardinal as archbishop of
Baltimore is not likely to be elevated
to the cardinalate In the very near fu
tuae. perhaps within the next six
months a new archbishop will have been
selected to take over the reins laid down
by Cardinal Gibbons with bis death yes
terday. - - :
.The affairs of this archdiocese, in the
meantime, will be conducted by . an ad
ministrator.' - This administrator will be
appointed at a special meeting of the
consultors of the archdiocese to be held
at the late cardinal's residence today. '
HARDING EXPRESSES SORROW
OVER DEATH OP CARDINAL
Washington, 'March 25. President
Harding last night wired to Right Rev.
Owen B. Corrigan. auxiliary bishop of
Baltimore, his condolences on the death
of Cardinal Gibbons. - The president's
message follows: f .
"In common with all our ?peoplei I
mourn . the death of Cardinal Gibbons.
His -long and most notable service to
country and to church makes us all his
debtor. -He was ever ready to'Jend his
encouragement to - any movement ' for
the betterment of his fellowmen. - He
was the very finest type of citizen and
churchman, i It -was my good fortune to
know him personally and. I held him in
the highest esteem and veneration. . His
death Is a distinct loss to the country,
but it brings to fuller appreciation a
great and admirable life."
Vice - President Coolidge Issued ' this
statement when he learned of the car
dinal's death:
"I learn with greatTregret of the
death of Cardinal Gibbons. He held a
deservedly high place In the estimation
of his fellow countrymen tor his scholar

OF BREAK WITH WILSON
(Con timed from Fin On)
which President Wilson and I were in
marked disagreement, were- the follow
ing: . .
"Hi presence In Paris during the
peace negotiation and especially ; his
presence there as a delegate to the peace
conrerence. ' ... i .'
"The fundamental principles of : the
constitution and function of a Leagne of
Nations as proposed or advocated ; by
him. : : .- . -: - t K - ; -
"The form of the' organic act known
as the covenant, its elaborate character
and its inclusion in the treaty restoring a
slate or peace.
"The treaty of defensive alliance with
France. t :: :. . , .
, "The necessity for a definite proeram
which the American commissioners could
follow in carrying' on the negotiations.
"The employment of private interviews
and confidential agreements in reaching
settlements, a practice which gave color
to the charge of 'secret diplomacy.
"The admission of the Japanese claims
to the possession of German treaty rights
at Kaio-Chau and in the, province of
Shantung.-. .. -
Lansing- then proceed to elaborate
upon each of. these seven differences in
successive chapters in which he fre
quently refers to the dominant personal
ity of President Wilson as one not in
clined to receive suggestion that ran
counter to hi views. He recount the
Instances In which his sug-sestions. con
veyed to the president in writing, went
unacknowledged, quoting liberally from
notes which he says he entered at the
time in hi personal journal. :
LEGAL ADVICE DISLIKED
Throughout thl llansini? narrative
emphasis is laid on Wilson's exaltation
of the executive power in the league at
the expense of judicial authority and in
one place Lansing writes : "It is a fact
which Mr. Wilson has taken no trouble
to conceal, that he does not value the
advice of lawyers except on strictly legal
questions and that he considers their ob
jections and criticisms on other subjects
to be too often warped by an undue re
gard for precedent. s
Although the negotiations, at Paris
proceeded largely without him and his
associates, other than Colonel House,
being consulted by the president, accord
ing to Lansing, a breach 'too wide and
too deep to be healed" occurred on Jan
uary 10, 1911. when at a conference on
the revision of the text of the covenant
the president : "said with great candor
and emphasis that he did not intend to
have lawyers drafting the treaty of
peace." Being the only lawyer on the
delegation. I naturally took this remark
to myself. In spite of this frank avowal
of prejudice by the president there was
no outward change in the personal and
official relations between him and my
self. I never forgot his word and always
felt (until my association with him came
to an end tn February. 1920), that in hi
mind my opinions, even when he sought
them, were tainted with legalism." ...
TBEATT CAUSES BBEAK
In hi conclusion Lansing, point out
that the cause for the request for his
resignation that he had called the cab
inet Into conference during the presi
dent's illness was Insufficient. "The real
cause, he says, "are to be found in the
record ef the relations between President
Wilson and myself in connection with
the peace negotiation. :: -y

" EITHER LAW TfOB LOGIC,t "
Seattle' complaint that It own dis
tance advantages are not recognized is
answered In effect with the retort that
two wrongs do not make a right and
that, "because Puget Sound feels that a
parity of rate in 1 territory - north of
Snake river with Portland and Vancou
ver is wrong and unjust to its interests,
therefore a corresponding injustice to
offset it ought to be done to Portland
and Vancouver- and theirs shipping -interests.
; There is neither law nor logic
In any such argument- as . this."
The Puget Sound contention that costs
of mountain operation were figured on
theory instead of practice is answered
by saying that there is nothing in the
commission's report to indicate , that
theoretical unit costs Instead ; of lhe
actual costs of operation were control
ling. -' V, : -
The Puget Sound claim that the empty
car movement was not sufficiently con
sidered as between the mountain and
valley lines is disputed byi references to
the commission' own report that it gave
this factor all the attention it deserved.
OFEBATIOX COST IGNORED ,
That the electrification i of the Mil
waukee and consequent cheapened operj
ation followed the original hearing was
not taken into consideration 1 flatly re
futed with the statement I that contem
plated electrification was referred to and
"that question should not now - be in
jected into this case, especially because
the rates In the territory I north of the
Snake river have not been! changed and
the Milwaukie does not serve the terri
tory south of Snake river, either by its
own rails or through joint arrangements
with other carriers and therefore that
line has no influence whatever upon the
rates in the territory south of Snake
river,, wherein differentials were pre
scribed." -, . -
.. Astoria's petition ' for rehearing " Is
answered at length, but is epitomized in
these words ; '"There is no such prin
ciple of transportation .law as vested
rates and it is clear that! Astoria con
siders a parity of rates with Portland
to and from territory south of Snake
river a a right vested In it by the com
mission's decision In the city of Astoria
case." , -:' - . ,.
8TATE BODY SCORED
The comment ; upon the! Washington
publio service commission's petition for
rehearing In behalf of Puget Sound and
against Vancouver Is scathing. The
Washington commission made the gra
tuitou claim that Astoria is entitled to
rates as low as Portland and Vancouver.
The answer proceeds : "It seems strange
that this petitioner should manifest such
seal in Astoria's cause. Its-interest In
this phase of the case springs from no
benevolence toward Astoria, but from a
desire to aggrandize Puget Sound at the
expense not only of Portland but of
Vancouver and Spokane - communities
in Washington equally deserving of the
impartial consideration of the state com
mission. If it can establish that Astoria
is- entitled te the same rates as Port
land, then it will say that Puget Sound
and, Portland should be on a rate parity
in thl territory south of Snake river,
since the commission found in the city
of Astoria case that the rates of Puget
Sound : and Astoria - ought to be the
same."' The proposal of the Washington
commission that it and the Oregon and
Idaho commissions sit on the case with
the interstate commerce commission is
ridiculed. - !:.-. - , . ...

it wa learned today, ha been study
Ins the possibilities ,of Increased
traffic obtainable through a reduc

about ready to advise that it be done.
These 'are the heads of systems on
which there are glaring examples of

high rates put In effect Jast summer.
Another consideration which' ha led
to their giving thought to reducing rates

STIMULUS IS NEEDED
: The chief reason, however, for -consideration
or the plan la the fact that traf

rates that some such stimulus is required
to start shipment again. : ,
Already one definite movement in this
direction has been made and on the re

which last week announced a reduction
from 80 to 73 cent a thousand feet on
lumber to Chicago , from the Pacific
Northwest. V --
Immediately the Southern pacific' lines
announced the same rate from all coast

the Southern lines and a conference was

The hardwood lumber men "Of the
Southeastern states have begun pressure
on the line in that section, but the lat

can be no cut until the lumber manu
facturer show that the present rates are
actually keeping the hardwood manufac
turers out of the Northern markets.
: The reduction - in rates- on lumber Is
the first cut of , national consequence
that has occurred since the general in
crease allowed by the interstate com

episode resembling a rate war the coun

American banking interests on the bor

word - received - today by the Portlaad
Chamber ef Commerce. In a petition to

the Salmon River Banking company, Hy

This company claims. In a. copy of the
