WITH THE SPORTS.
Columbia Students Kick.

New York. Jan. 23.-Columbia stu
dents and graduates in mass meeting
yesterday afternoon protested against
the action of the university union in
ordering the disarmament of the 81
crew. The gathering filled the largest
lecture room in the law school, and
was one of the most enthusiastic meet
ings in COlumbia's history. The
students gave 1922 in cash to help the
crew, and subscriptions amounting to
$4,000 were announced.
A set of resolutions were read, as
follows:
Resolved, That the blue and white
refuse to lower their colors and thus
bring forth disgrace that would newt
ably result from the withdrawal of the
crew, and that a committee be ap-
pointed to appear before the union at
its next meeting and demand the recon-
sideration of its action in regard to
the eight"
After great applause the resolutions
were unanimously adopted.

Canton, o., Jan. 23.-J. H. Brigham
of Ohio, who has frequently been men
toned in connection with the position
of secretary of agriculture, called or
the president-elect today, and dis
cussed the situation with him. To the
correspondent of the United Associat-
ed Presses, Mr.. Brigham said: L have
not been rendered a cabinet PORTFOLIO
but Major Mckinley assures me my
name is under consideration and
trust favorably."
''Will not the fact that Ohio has one
representative in the cabinet filling the
most important place in that body
prevent your appointment? was
asked.
Not necessarily" answered Mr..
Brigham, Il. am supported by the
strong endorsement of the state, and
by the national granger. My appoint
ment to the cabinet would not be a
state matter. 1t would be made on ma
tional lines"
The chances are, however, that Ohio
will not have more than one place in
the cabinet, though it is possible Colo
mel Brigham may be offered the post
Of assistant secretary of agriculture.
NOTWITHSTANDING all that mas Deen SAID
about the reported tender of a cabinet
portfolio to Lyman ]. Gage of Chica-
go, it can be positively announced that
nobody has been asked to accept the
treasury portfolio. The preSident-elect
holds Mr.. Gage in high esteem, and
has doubtless asked some of his friends
TO quietly ascertain whether Mr.. Gage
would be in q position to go into the
cabinet if invited. This does not mean
that he has been or will be rendered
portfolio, but that he is in favorable
consideration along with others.
Senator-elect Fairbanks, National
Committeeman w. T. Durbin and
Judge Monk of Indiana paid their re-
spects to Major Mckinley today. The
subject of Indiana patronage was dis
cussed. Chairman John p. Goudy, of
the Indiana Republican state commit
tee, is said to be under consideration
for appointment as consul general to
Paris, and will have the endorsement
of Senator Fairbanks.
Senator Carter of Montana and Sen
ator Wilson of Washington called on
Major Mckinley today to talk about
some appointments in the far west.

the east to the effect that Robert P
Porter has been promised the appoint
ment of minister to japan Is without

Chicago's Genial Climate.

Chicago. Jan. 23.-High winds. a
heavy and continuous fall of snow and
a temperature only degrees above
zero, combined to make this the storm
lest day of the winter The wide area
OF the storm gave the officials of
western railroads cause for fear that
their lines would be tied UP before
morning. The conditions outside the
city are rapidly getting worse, and
the prospects are good for a blockade
over Sunday at least, even with the
most vigorous measures for the clear
ing of tracks. Mail trains came in late
tonight from the west The city street
cleaning bureau and the street car
companies were compelled to put hun
dreds of laborers, teams and snow
plows to work, and at a late hour it
looked as if they had an all night Job
before them. AS it was, the street car
traffic was much impeded. The whole
northwest is in the grasp of ice, snow
and wind and zero temperature.
