FOR THE CABINET.
Elwood Cooper Named for Secretary
of Agriculture.
Santa Barbara independently

(Santa Barbara independently
Cabinet builders are already at work.
and among the most prominently men
toned as likely to receive an appoint
ment from the hands Of the Republican
administration is Hon. E,llwood Cooper
Of this county, who may be named as
Secretary of Agriculture. His friends
have been quietly working since Nc
Kinley's nomination, and now that the
Republican candidate has been success
full the news is no longer held back.
If Mr.. Cooper receives this high office
it will not be the first time he has filled
positions of great trust. For many
years he has been President Of the
State Board of Horticulture, in fact
since it was first organized. During
the Worlds Fair he was urged to ac-
cept the position of Chief of the Horti-
cultural Department, an office of inter-
national Importance, but withdrew in
favor of a Kentucky gentleman, as poll
itics were brought into play.
He was also considered the most fit
ting person that could be selected TO
succeed Uncle Jerry" Rusk, who was
appointed Secretary of Agriculture by
President Harrison.
It has been conceded all through the
campaign that, no matter which party
was successful, the Pacific Coast would
have representation in the next Cab
met, and there is every probability
that Mr.. Cooper will be chosen Of
his ability to fill the position there can
be no question; he has been through
his life identified with the agricultural
and horticultural interests of the
country, and his long experience will
be of great advantage

finally agreed between the parties con-
cerned to have the indictment against
Philip Oppenheim dismissed, but before
this could be accomplished Emanuel
Oppenheim had, as aff1ant heard, de-
clared that the indictment would be
used to force large sum Of money from
Philip Oppenheim. For this reason he
(Blakeman) had not deemed 1t prudent
to sign the stipulation referred to until
the original agreement as to the dis
missal Of the indictment had been COM
piled with.
He feels assured that if the arrange
ment to dismiss the indictment had
been carried out Philip Oppenheinl
would have returned within the time
limited and produced all of the bonds
and have carried out his part of the
proposed settlement.
Philip Oppenheim has, he states, been
advised Of his mothers desire to dis
miss the action and have him continue
as trustee, and that he has for three
months past been expecting to have
this done
Referring to the sudden departure of
Philip Oppenheim from San Francisco,
when the order appointing the receiver
was made herein he (Blakeman) was
in New York; that as soon as he heard
Of the order he telegraphed a request
to have the matter delayed until he
could get home. Failing in this he wrote
to Philip Oppenheim, his client, advis-
ing him to deliver the bonds to the re-
ceiver. The letter was due to arrive in
San Francisco the day before that on
which the receiver was to take posses
sion.
Brakeman afterward learned that
Philip Oppenheim had left San Fran
cisco four days before the letter arrived,
and that on the advice of friends he
(Philip) had taken the bonds from the
Safe Deposit Company and departed for
Canada. He does not believe that his
client intended any dlsrespect to the
court, but the act of leaving the coun
try, once committed, he had declined
to return until he could do so with
safety to himself and the entire estate
committed to his care.
Accompanying these af1idavits is the
stipulation signed by Albert NJ. john
son, attorney for Mrs. Louisa Open
helm, and Devlin e Devlin, attorneys
for Emanuel Oppenheim, in which ii is
asked that the submission of the case
for decision be set aside, and that the
plaintiffs motion to strike out portions
of the answer of defendants Philip OPP
penheim and California Thompson to
the supplemental complaint be dis
missed.
1t was further agreed that the deed
of trust was executed by Louisa Open
helm freely and with knowledge of it's
provisions, and that its execution was
not procured by any fraud or undue in
fiuence on the part of her son Philip, or
false representation, etc.
This is the stipulation that Brakeman
says he declined to sign, as attorney
for Philip Oppenheim, because the in
dfctment hanging over the latter has
not been dismissed.
Albert NJ. Johnson, Mrs. Oppenheim's
counsel, states that she has no desire
TO prosecute her son on the criminal
charge. Just what new turn the case
will take when the hearing comes up
on December I'd remains to be seen.
