PRCE TER Che Casper Dally erioune | THURSDAY, FES.. 10, 1921 FOUR SELECTIONS FOR CABINET DETERMINED, OTHERS IN DOUBT: HARDING RETURNS TO HIS WORK Hughes, Hays, Daugherty and Wallace Scheduled to Receive Portfolios; Several Prominent “Mentions” . (By Associated Press.) ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 10.—Back at work today after a three weeks’ vacation, Presiderit-elect Harding waded into a vast accumulation of correspondence and other mis- cellaneous business that must be cleared away before he can ive serious thought to final decisions on the personnel cf his cabinet and other major problems. Mr. boat cruise along the Florida coast @nd established offices in St. Au- gtstine hotel, which will be his home until he leaves for Washington to be maugurated. The cabinet appointments which Mr. Harding’s close friends balieve to be virtually determined, are confined to the portfolios of state, justice, Dostoffice and agriculture. Charles Evans Hughes of New York, for secretary of state; Harry M. Daugherty of Ohio, for attorney general; Will H. Hays of Indiana, for postrhaster general, and Henry Wal- Iace of Iowa, for secretary of agri- culture, are selections, who, those in ® position to know, regard as prac- tically certain, Yet even in respect to these, it is realized that there may b& many a Slip between the first of February and the first of March. For the secretaryship of war sev- ral men still are mentioned. Promin- ent among them is John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, whose name also ts linked repeatedly with the navy and treasury portfolios. Frank O. Lowden of IMinois, is an- other mentioned as a possibility for secretary of the navy, and the friends of Andrew W. Mellon of Pennsylvania, still are urging his qualifications for secretary of the treasury. Senator A. B. Fall of New Mex- 4co, is believed to be under serious consideration for secretary of the in- terisr, and whether he goes into-the place is understood to depend large- ly on his own inclinations. For the Same place, John Hays Hammond of New York, is being strongly recom mended by some Republicans. Tt is in regard to the secretaryshtps of labor and commerce that Mr. Harding's mind is believed to be farth- est from a decision. In connection ‘with the labor portfolio, one of the Iatest to recetve prominent support is J. A. Davis of Pittsburgh, Pa., for- merty © steel worker and now a banker, It is certam that Mr. Harding will take no definite steps until he has held further conferences with: his ad- visers, and next week is expected to seo the beginning of a series of con- sultations here that will bring a de- cision, It is unlikely that auy ap pointments will be announced, how- ever, until a day or two beforo the inauguration. Harding returned to St. Au- gustine last night from his house- iNO RULING IS RETURNED IN KANSAS CASE j (By Associated Press) TOPEKA, Kans, Feb. 10,—The first case involving the question of |the open shop to come before the Kansas industrial court ended yester- day when the parties settled their dif- ferences without a ruling from the court." A technical opinion in the case will be rendered. A company asked the right to let out its extra help during the slack season, keeping only an engineer and assistant. To do this it was neves- sary for the two men to do the work of both fireman and ollers. The union objected on the ground that one man of each trade should be em- ployed in accordance with the closed shop practice. Under the agreement reached the one-man, one-job rule of the union js held to be not inviolable and it is not necessary to institute an open shop to permit members of the union to en- gage in other than their ‘specified trade. The company will continue to operate under a closed shop contract. (MURDER PRELIMINARY HELD UP BY MAN HUNT Ben McNeil and Frank F. McClel- lan, the two men charged with the murder of J. S. Reeder, Casper shoe- maker, are still being held in the county jail awaiting their preliminary hearing, on charges of first degree murder. Although no definite reason has been given it is understood that the trial is being held up during the search for a third smember of the gang who is now believed to be in Montana. ae DOUGLAS COMING TO MEET B. J. Erwin has been selected by the Douglas Chamber of Commerco: as their representative at the annual meeting of the Casper Chamber of Commerce to be held here February 5. UNIVERSITY 10 WioIT CAPITOL IN BODY FRIDAY Joint Session of Legislature to Receive Students Desirous of Showing . Their Appreciation LARAMIE, Feb. 10—The members of the state legislature ‘will have a concrete demonstration of apprecia- tion by the University, when on Fri- day the studcuis will visit the capital in a body, and wppear at a joint ses- aston of the two houses to present in person their gratitude for the inter- est which has been displayed through- out in the welfare of the institution. The trip will be made by special train; conveyance will be furnished free of cost through the courtesy of the off!- cials of the Union Pacilc. The visit wilt be entirely a student affair; and the entire student body, representing every, mook and cranny of. the state, with & sizeable sprinkling of outsiders from other states, will be present in Cheyenne. A program by a picked group of students is being arranged for presentation before the legislature. The trip is being made with the hearty approval of Governor Carey, the presi- dent of the senate and the speaker of the house. In view of the fact that the annuai stipend of 300 pounds which is given American Rhodes scholars at Oxford is no longer sufficient to meet the ex- pense of a year at that institution, a temporary bonus of fifty pounds an. nually will be paid during the pres ent emergency, This statement ‘s is- sued by Frank Ayelotte, American secretary for the Rhodes scholarship, with the request that it be given wil circulation throughout the press of tl country. While this additional sura is not a permanent increase, there is assurance that it will be continued until living costs justify a return to the original basis. It is believed that, even at present rates, 350 pounds an- nually is a sum sufficient for the aver- age American to maintain himself at the English university. This announce- ment will directly affect Charles Cool- idge of Laramie, the Wyoming Rhodes scholar now at Oxford, and Fred Lay GERMANS REBEL AT ORDERS OF BELGIANS, FIGHTING REPORTED man of Wisconsin, who has been nam- ed from this state for the year 1921. An organization of the students tat-, the pre-medical course at the Univer- sity has recently been effected. The new club aims to deal in general with subjects affecting the interests of pre- medics students, and to work for the establishment of a real medical school at the University some time in the future. The officers of the organiza- tion are Lyle Powell of Douglas, presi- dent; Donald Worden of Cozad, Neb., vice-president, and ‘Emory DeKay of Laramie, secretary treasurer. The other charter members are Robert Thompson of Rock River, Harry Irons of Indiana, William Chew of Denver, Irvia Munger of Lincoln, Neb., John Chamblin of Laramie, Gregory Smith of Sheridan, Lyle ‘Saxon of Sidney, Neb., and Sam Light of Sidney, Neb. The Wyoming , Cowboys revenged themselves for their recent defeat at Denver when on Saturday night the; secured the long end of a 19 to 10 score against the Ministers of Denver University. The game was interesting and reasonably fast, although the five- man defense employed by both teams kept the score down. Wyoming's next two games will be played on the Fort Collins floor next Friday and Satur- day, with the strong Aytgie team as op- ponent. ‘ eB eke DILLON AND BROWN ARE BARRED FROM KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE, Ky.,: Feb. 10—Jack Dillon of Indianopolis and K. 0. Brown of San Francisco, ~ middle- weights, today were forbidden by the state board of athletic control to par- ticipate in boxing exhibitions in Ken- tucky for one year, The men were charged with “stall- ing” during a recent bout in Louis- ville. 31 RAILROADS IN RUSSIA IDLE WASHINGTON, Feb. . 10.—Thirty- one railroads in Russia have suspend- ed traffic almost completely as a re- sult of the fuel famine, according to, reports in soviet Russian newspapers which yesterday reached the State De- partment. Of these roads, over which only occasional emergency trains were said to be running, nineteen were classed as major lines and twelve as secondary. LONDON, Feb. 10.—Serious fight- ing between the German population and a Belgian patrol in Afx La Chap- pelle is’ reported in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amster- dam today. ‘Tho dispatch, quoting a message from Aix Le Chappelle in the Bel- gian_occupation area, says a num- and cafes until after the hour fix- ed for closing the festivities.

Briggs of the. Interstate Trust company of Denver, declared today in an address to the conven- tion of the Colorado Association of 4 ‘The Statement was made during an at- tack on what Mr. Briggs declared were the bureaucratic tendencies of the federal government today. Although Mr. Briggs’ subject on the program was “Life Insurance for Credit Purposes," he devoted most of his address to a criticism of the na- tional government. Hoe did this, he said, “in the hope that I may call the attention of busy men such as you are, to some fundamental things that are absolutely necessary. to be corrected if our government is to sur- vive.”* After declaring that came to America ir dom and tracing the tablishment of the government, which he said was formed to protect the rights of the citizens, Mr. Briggs continued: “I now dare to say to you that we haye in recent years been moving farther and farther away from these fundamental principles until we are now the most rigidly governed peo- ple on earth instead of the least the Pilgrims arch of freg: Can Rule or Ruin Any Line of governed. Private rights of citizens heave small space in these modern days. We. sre supervised, interro- gated, inspécted, investigation, con- trolled and directed by bureaucratic officials in every department of pri- vate life and business. Largely be- cause of these numerous bureaus, we @re now burdened with taxes such as would haye appalled any generation preceding this one and such as will cost not only this generation but sev- eral others to follow, severe hard- ships, self-denial and personal sacri- fice toe support the government and pay its debts.” He said the bureaucratic system began during the administration of the late President Roosevelt Gifford Pinchot was given practical control of all the public domains in the country and organized the con- servation bureau. From that begin- ning, bureaus have grown up in all directions, he said. After referring te the Federal Re- serve board, Mr. Briggs said: “I de- clare to you that, while this power (of the Federal Reserve board) has probably not been very much abused as yet, it could be so abused, and it is the most dangerous system any civilized nation on earth has at the Present time.” . “It was bureaucratic not auto- cratic oppression and corruption that ruined Russia and made possible the complete overthrow of that govern- ment, and today our own country is rapidly striding with no uncertain steps into the same sort of bureau- cratic machine government that Rus- sia had before the revolution there,” he. continued. ~ He closed ‘with an appeal for those Present, “as humble private citizens to save our country from the perils from within as well as from without.” “We can do this by peaceful, lawful methods, and thus rerform a great Patriotic public service,” he said. ———— ee Death Penalty for Robbery.
