GOVERNOR CRANE
 MAY SUCCEED GAGE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF MAssAcHU. sETTs HAS BEEN OFFERED THE PORTFOLIO OF SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

Washington, December N.-While no official confirmation can be obtained at the White House it is believed President Roosevelt has offered the treasury port folio to Governor Crane of Massachusetts, and the latter now has the tender under advisement. One of the difficulties in the way of Governor Crane's acceptance Is understood to be his connection with the paper company at Dalton. Mass, which furnishes the paper for government notes. This paper is prepared by secret pro- cess and the governments contract with the Dalton company is large one. Should Governor Crane accept the treasury ports folio 1t Is considered probable that he would dispose of his interests in Dal- ton.
 Governor Crane Admits 1t.
 Boston, December H.-A close friend of Governor w. Murray Crane today con- firmed report from Washington pub lished today stating that the Governor had been offered the treasury portfolio by President Roosevelt. and said that the Governor had asked for time until next Monday before deciding whether or not he would accept. A telephone message from Dalton, Governor Cranes home. re- ceived here today says that Governor Crane is considering the question with great thoroughness, and Is inclined to ac- cept the position. Family and business considerations are the cause of the Gov ernor's hesitation.

 Cotton planters claim that seed buyers have pool similar to that of the cotton buyers to keep down the price of seed in Huntsville. There is considerable differ ence in the price of a ton of seed in Huntsville and the price in Memphis, and some believe this is because of the ma- nipulations of local buyers. s

CITY AND DISTRICT.


Complaint was recently made to the Dis
trict Commissioners by Mr.. Whitman Os-
good of the census office that he had been
refused a transfer by a conductor on the
Metropolitan street railway. He stated that
at the time of paying his fare he asked for
a transfer to the Glen Echo line; that 1t
was not given him, and that later when he
asked fos transfer in a different direction
he was informed that he could not have it,
because the request for 1t came too late.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to Mr.. Geo. H. Harries, vice president of
the railway company, who reported to them
that the conductor was right in not issuing
a transfer to the Connecticut avenue line,
as transfers must be obtained at the time
passengers pay their fare, which is not the
case with reference to Identification tickets
given between the Metropolitan line and the
Great Falls road. Mr. Osgood will be so
informed
