Secretary 9f Commerce and Labor.

Although tine bill TO establish a Depart
mont OF Commerce and Labor has but
recently passed the Senate and must yet
run the Eautlet OF the House. there is
already lively contest for the several
high Offices created by the bill.
Among the names mentioned in conneC-
tion with the head OF tls, proposed de-
Fartu.ont are Senator Hanna. Director Of
the Census Merriam. and Carroll ID.

1t is generally conceded that the Sen

some time during the session with a
number OF amendments. however. which

The only new department created in re-
cent years was that OF Agriculture in Mr.
Cleveland's first administration. And Mr.

were added to the Office.
President FevoT- sir. Merriam.
It has been known for some time that
President Roosevelt desires 10 have Di-

the Director would succeed Secretary

It is not believed that In any circum-

seat IN the Senate 10 accept a Cabinet
portfolio. And Mr.. Carroll d. Wright

ten years and that there appeared to be

While spain governed the islands there
were three lie saving stations IN Porto
