FRIENDS OF JUDGE
PELL URGING
Strong Support Given hn,. For
Promotion To Interstate
Commerce Commission
NORTH CAROLINA JURIST
ABLY EQUIPPED FOR JOB
Former Governor of Virginia
Refuses Appointment and
Tar Heel Members of Con
gress Will Work For North
Carolina Man; Believe He
Would Serve With Credit
The News and Observer Bureau,
603 District National Bank Bldg.,
By R. E. POWELL.
(By Special Leased Wire.)
Washington, Feb. 11. North Carolina,
seeking anew "a scat on the Interstate
Commerce Commission, has presented
the name of Judge George P. Pell, of
the North Carolina corporation com
mission, to its representatives in Con
gress with the request that Judge Pell's
name, be offered to President Wilson.
In eountless communications that are
coming to Washington with every mail,
the name of Judge Pell is extolled
with the characteristic finesse of the
trained legal mind. Already the Pell
boom is in such shape that a delega
tion could, with propriety, appear be
fore the President just as soon as he
feels well enough to receive caller at
the White House on official business.
Friends of Judge Pell, writing mem
bers of the Tar Heel delegation, call
attention to the fact thut he has been
for many years a member of the North
Carolina corporation commission and
that he is an eminent authority on
legal text books which have been given
wide circulation.
Virginia Man Refsses.
Attention has also been called to
the fact that Judge Pell merely missed
being chosen chairman of the State
Commission to succeed - former Com
missioner Travis, who came near being
chosen for a place on the Interstate
Commerce Commission. When Mr.
Travis resigned. Judge Pell was sug
gested by several friends pt the chair
manship and at one time tlmre was ia
circulation a story that he had boon
agreed upon by the present chairman
and Mr. Travis' successor, Commissioner
Maxwell.
The seniority rule, however, prevailed
in the choice, and Commissioner Lee
became the chairman in spite of a
strong sentiment on Capitol Hill and
in parts of the State for Commissioner
Maxwell. Mr. Maxwell had gained dis
tinction as a tax expert when he was
dumbfounding Frank Linney and there
was very little about rates, inter or
intra, thst ho didn't have at hit finger
tips. What he didn't have Expert
worubie did.
The present vacancy on the .commis
sion is caused by the resignation of
Commissioner Harlan, who resigned
some time ago on account of continued
ill health. The President, several days
ago, sent to the Senate the name of
former Governor Henry C .Stuart, of
Virginia, to succeed Commissioner Har
lan but the distinguished Virginian de
clined the honor.
Judge Pell will undoubtedly have tha
whole hearted support of the North
Carolina members in Congress. The
Influence of both theTar Heel Senators,
which in by-gone days was a potent
factor about the White House, will be
extended in behalf of the Tar Heel
jurist. So far as a poll shows, the
members of "Congress" from the 8tate
are friendly to Judge Pell and will
do everything , within theirpower to
have him elevated to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, a place they
feel sure he would fill with entire
satisfaction to the country and glory
to himself.
So far as could be learned at the
offices of the. North Carolina Benntors,
no effort lias been made by either Sena
tor Simmons or Senator' Overman to
make an engagement with the President
in the interest of the Tar Heel jurist. In
Congressional circles, however, there
wt.- a report that the Tar Heel delega
tion would, at the first opportunity, seek
an audience with President WTilson for
the purpose of urging the appointment
of Judge Pell. .
Well Equipped For Job. -Members
of the Tar Heel delegation
who believe Judge Pell possesses the
ability to fill the job of Interstate Com
merce .Commissioner with the same abil
ity which has marked his years of serv
ice on the State Commission see only
one serious drawback to the Pell aspi
ration.' President Wilson, acting on the
advice of party leaders, has been pur
posely essting about in States far re
moved from the South for men to till
important vacancies. But for this fact
and this fact alone, a North Carolinian
finely equipped might have been succes
sor to Senator Glass as Secretary of the
Treasury.
The North counts Secretaries Houston
and Daniels and Postmaster General
Burleson as Southerners sad Northern
ers can name dozens of others who have
been ia high position during the Wilson
administration. Some little surprise has
been expressed that the President should
tender -the present vacancy to former
Governor Stuart because hs is a South
erner. Party politicians believe that the
East and the West ought to draw the
plums for it is in the East and the West
they count on the struggle for suprem
acy ia 1921. , ' ,
Has Strong Backing. "
While this dampens the ardor of those
who would hare Pell given .broader rec
ognition, it ia certain that strong influ
ences ia Washington will be set to work
for him. Prominent Democrats discuss
ing his chances today paused in their
seriousness to remark that Judge Pell's

FOR TREATY FIGHT
STARTED BY LODGE
Republican Senate Leader Pro

PROGRESS ON ARTICLE

No Debate and No Statement
By Massachusetts Senator,
Who Presents His New Pro
posals " Without Comment;
Makes No Comment On Ar
ticle Ten Eeaervation
Washington, Feb. 11. Steps to elimi
nate many collateral issues of the Peace
Treaty fight were taken today on the
Senate floor while negotiations were
being resumed privately for a om
promlse on the two principal points
remaining in controversy Article Ten
and the Monroe Doctrine.
Modification of eight of the fourteeu
Republican reservations on the basis of
agreements by the bi-partisan confer
ence and in a way said to be satisfactory
to many Democrats was proposed form
ally by Hemitor Lodge, of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader. Four of the re
maining aix are aaid to have been al
ready accepted without change by the
Democratic leaders, leaving those which
relate to Article Ten and the Monroe
Doctrine as the only subject of serious
disagreement.
Progress also was claimed in ths Ar
ticle Ten negotiations, a new draft of
the reservation being declared by the
mild reservation Republicans to have
received approval from Senator Lodge
and from some Democratic friends of
the treaty. The draft was denounced by
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the
Democratic leader, however, as conati
tuting "not a compromise but a sur
render," and much- doubt remained as
to its ultimate acceptance.
There was no debate on the treaty
during the day's session. Senator Lodgo
presenting" his proposed modifications
without comment except, that he desired
to have them printed for consideration
when the treaty formally comes before
the Senate again next week He made
no statement regarding toe new Artielo
Ten reservations, but the mild reserva
tion's declared they were hopeful that
later he would present it also. The
text of this reservation follows:
''The United States assumes no obli
gation to preserve by the use of its
military or aaval forces, or by the eco
nomic boycott or by any other means,
the territorial Integrity or political in
dependence of any other country or to
interfere in controversies between na
tionswhether members of the league
or not under tlio provisions of Article
Ten, or to employ the military or naval
forces of the United States under any
article of the treaty for any purpose

EDWARDS MAKES REPLY
TO ATTACK BY BRYAN
New Jersey Governor Reiter
ates That Personal Liberty
Is Involved
Trenton, X. J., Feb. 11. Answering
William J. Bryan's latest attack on him
by declaring that personal liberty is
involved in the question of prohibition
and not merely the ability of one to
get a drink. Governor Edwards tonight
issued a statement intimating that
Bryan's "hysterics'' about prohibition
was simply a mask to cover an attack
on Democratic National Chairman Cum
mings, who, the Governor said, was a
"formidable obstacle" to the Xebras
kan's political designs. Mr. Edwards
reiterated his determination to take
the matter of prohibition before the
Democratic National convention.
"If it be true," Governor Edwards
said, "that the remote places and the
wilderness are able to send enough
delegates to this convention, who cither
blindly or stubbornly will eject from the
convention those who desire for.. each
State a doctrine of personal liberty then
this is, only another indication of the
path along which the Democratic party
is to tread in the November erections."
The Governor said that the question
at issiw was whether- the people were so
desd to the spirit of the constitution
thst theyJ would allow their persons!
liberty to hs taken from them. Many
were- indignant, ha said, because "fa
natics have laid hands upon the ark
of the covenant, the United States Con
stitution." -
, ''The spirit . which gave us life,, as a
country is sinking into extinction," ht
said. . .
