Raymond France, was seeking today to form a cabinet to succeed that under Aristide Briand which resigned yesterday. The manner of M. Briand’s on the apparent verge of an ov in the chamber of deputies has caused a certain reaction jn his favor, and be- sides, M. Poincare has a strong oppo- sition in parliament. Neither is the former president too vopular with a large section of the general public. Added to this, many members of parliament hold that President Mill- erand, according to Practice, should invite M. Briand to resume power with anothe» compina- tion of ministers, inasmuch as he was not beaten by a vote in parliament. ‘M. Briand, however, stated to news- papermen last night that his resigna- tion was “absolutely final.” In ac- cordance with custom, the president has asked the members of the Briand cabinet to conduct thelr departments until a new minstry can be rormed. Mm. Millerand and Poincare in a conversation last night decided that, if the latter formed « ministry, the conference broke off at Cannes would be resumed by the new premier after an understanding had been reached between the heads of the governments of the allied powers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13—(By The Associated Press.)—President Miuller- and of France has directed M. Star- raut, head of the French delegation, to continue in that capacity until the end of the Washington conference. Instructions to this effect were ri cetved today in a cablegram from M. Briand, retiring French premier, who continues under Frerch procedure to exercise the functions of his office until his successor takes up his du- ties. PUBLIC DISAPPOINTED OVER ACT OF PREMIER. PARIS, Jan. 13—{(By The Asso- elated Press.)—Premier Briand’s resig- nation seems to have caused regret among the general public and in many political circles. The attitude of the jority of the press is fairly accur- ately reflected in the following ex- cerpt from Le Journal. “Kis decision is doubly regrettable, first because it deprives the country in the midst of the dotible negotia- constitutional | Asso-} dramatic exile, however, while erwhelming vote of confidence of Parliament on the points discussed at Cannes has been given his succes. sor.”” The newspapers of a Nationaist tendency, such as the Figaro and the Ecko de Paris, on the other hand, do not conceal their joy at the resigna- tion. The syndicalist newspaper Le Pou- ple, speaking “without political preoc- cupations or ministerial sympathies,” declares: “What counts for us fs that no gov- ernment can pursue a different policy unless it wishes disaster, unless it wishes rupture of France with other nations, or unless it wishes to embark on an adventure of insensate violence. If there is a politican willing to take such responsibility show him to us. Even a Poincare would not aare iv assume it." UNION LEADERS "FACE TREASON CHARGE, C1LAIM LOGAN, W.

Mrs. Morrell saw an opportunity and attempted to seize Powert's gun which had become loosened in the holster during the melee,» Her effort was prevented by Biglin. At this juncture Denny McCarthy, a camp tender at the Eugene Mc- Carthy sheep camp, appeared on the scene and was hastily deputized to prevent the woman securing a gun since the Cannes pourpariers were opened.
