However There is No Change 'n His Attitude Toward Protection Ques tion.-Deal Only With Facts. Washington. - President Wilson sent a letter to Chairman Kitchin'of the House Ways and Means Commit toe explaining why he had withdrawn his opposition to a tariff commission and now was urging the creation of such a body by Congress. He wrote frankly that he had changed his mind because "all the circumstances of the world had changed." Declaring that he had "no thought whatever of a change in attitude to ward the so-called protection ques tion" the President said the proposed commission would have nothing to do with theories of policy but would be charged only with the duty of seeking facts to guide Congress in legislation. In another letter to Mr. Kitchin he had set forth fully his ideas of what a traiff commission shoulq be and urged that the Ways and Means committee ccnsider the matter immediately. He favoredl a wholly non-partijan, expert organization. "I have changed my mind." said the letter, "because all the circum stances of the world have changed and it scoems to me that in viewv of the extraordinary and far-recaching changes which the European wvar has brought about it is absolutely necos sar'y that we should have a compe tent instrument of inquiry along the whole line of the many questions which affect our foreign commerce. "I hav'e had in this change of mind no thought wvhaever of a change of attitude towvards the socalled protec tion question. That is neither here nor there. ASKS CONGRESS TO SPEED UP.

BRANDEIS TO SUCCESS THE LAIE JUSTICP LAMAR ON SUPREME COURT 'ENCH. WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE Senate and All Official Washington Received News Without Fore warning. Washington.--Louis D. Brandeis of Bosto4 was nominated by President Wilson for the place on the Supreme Court bench made vacant by the death of Associate Justice Lamar. The Senate received the nomina tion with unconcealed surprise-in whick all official Washington joined, because Mr. Brandeis had not been mentioned among the long list of eligibles which President Wilson con sidered, or among an equally long list of aspirants who presented en dorsements. Some Senators announced to their colleagues they were opposed to the nomination, but ,declined to be quot ed to that effect. The only Senator found who was willing to publicly record his opposition at this time was Senator Wadsworth, Republican, of New York. Senators who aproved the nomina tion were not lacking, although they, too, avoided public expression of their views. They felt sure however they could command the necessary major ity to confirm the appointment. It was learned that among the en dorsements sent to the President urg ing Mr. Brandeis' appointment was one from Gifford Pinchot, former chief forestor, whoso celebrated controversy with Secretary Ballinger brought Mr. Br'andeis into the public eye six years ago. He appeared as chiof counsel for the forces opposing the former Secre tary of the Interior in the noted Bal linger-Pinchot controversy which sent its ramifications into many phases of national politics at the outset of Pres ident Taft's administration. Although celebrated as a lawyer, Mr. Brandeis has been devoting prac tically all his time of late to the Zion ist movement in this country which has for its object the repatriation of the Jews to a nation of their own in Palestine. Some of the Senators disposed to express opposition to Mr. Brandeis were Democrats who sought to put their objections on political grounds. Senator James of Kentucky, the native state of Mr. Brandeis, unreservedly told them the nominee was a Demo crat. Justice Lamar, whom he would succeed, lso was a Democrat. Six of the eight Justices now on the bench are Republicans. FORCE TO PROTECT COAST. Colonel Haan Says $1,025,000 Men Necessary to Protect Coast.

CONSIDERS TARIFF BOARD WANTS TARIFF COMMISSION WITH BROAD POWER TO IN. VESTIGATE TARIFF DUTIES. Conferred With Majority Leader KitchIn and Others-Should Be Non-Partisan. Washington. - Announcement has been made that President Wilson fa. vors the creation of an independent, non-partisan tariff commission, with broad powers to investigate tariff du. ties, the relations between industries at'home and abroad and the entire ta riff and commercial machinery of the world. The president discussed his plan al length with Representative Kitchin, chairman of the house ways and means committee, and asked that the committee consider it immediately with the view of getting action during the present session of Congress. Alsc le laid the tnatter before Senators Simmons, chairman of the senate fi nsance committee. Later he may ad dress congress on the subject, al though it was said this was improb able. Although the president previously has taken the position that th'e powers of a tariff commission already are hold by existing government bureaus he told Mr. Kitchin hie felt justified in pressing for -the creation of a sepa rate commission at this time because of uinusual Inaternational conditions and on account of the interest the United States wvill have in commercial adjustments after the present up hieaval. Representative Kitchin said he thought the F'ederal Trade Commis sion should be clothed with whatever adlditional powers' might be necessary but that he believed a majority of the ways and means 'committee fa vored a new independent body. The presideht made it plain he did not think the proposed commission should be established with the view of up holding or criticising any particular tariff policy but sljould be entirely non-partisan, and capable of gather ig facts' without any political basis.

At night he told the railroad men lie was an advocate of peace and had struggled to keep the United State's at peace, but he considered the liberty and honor of the Nation even more than peace. "Woe to any man who plays mar plot or who seeks to make party politics or personal ambition take precedence over candor, honor and unselfish, unpartisan service," said the President in speaking of his de fense plan hefore the railroad men. le declared that the country expects action; this is a year of accounting and the accounting must be definite on the part of parties and on the part of every individual who wishes to enjoy the public confidence. "For my part, I hope every man in public life will get what's coming to him," said Mr. Wilson amid laughter and applause.
