Herrick of Ohio Gains by Rup-
ture Between Burton
And Taft.
KNOx'S ADVICE is GOOD.
MAKEUP OF THE NExT CABINET
WILL DEPEND LARGELY UPON
= THE WORD OF THE NEW SEC
RETARY OF STATE.

Augusta, Ga. Dec. 19.-When Phil
ander c. Knox the Taft secretary of
state, comes to Augusta to discuss
with the president-elect the makeup
of the remainder of the new admins
tration cabinet, Mr. Taft will ask him
to approve of Myron T. Herrick, form
er governor of Ohio, as secretary OF
the treasury. This fact can be stated
as coming from authentic sources
Before Mr.. Taft offered the treasury
portfolio to Representative Theodore
E. Burton, of Ohio. he was seriously
considering Herrick for the place
Now that ne has broken irrevOcably
with Burton, Herrick is the approved
man for the job.
Cabinet List.
When Mr. Knox arrives here within
the next week or so Mr.. Taft will sub
nit to him for his inspection and ap
proval the following cabinet list:
Treasury-Myron T. Herrick, OF
Ohio.
Attorney GeneraI-,Frank D. kel
Ioeg, of Minnesota, or George Wicker
sham, of New York.
War-Governor Maeoon.

Washington.
Postmaster GeneraI-Frank n
Hitchcock, of Massachusetts.
| AgricuIture-The present secretary
James NJ. Wilson.
| Commerce and Iabor-George A
Knight, of California.
| Owing to Mr.. Taft's intention to e
to Panama about January 20, he i:
determined to carry on his cabine
making at a fast pace so as to havs
it completed when he sets out. Mr.
Knox's visit to Augusta will come
very near to accomplishing a fina

Widow of William E. AnniS
Will Be Placed on Stand
When the Trial Is Resumed
Monday.

New York, Dec. 19.-Mrs. William
E. Annis, widow of the man who was
shot and killed by Capt. Peter c.
Hams, will be recalled to the stand by
the prosecution in the trial of Thorn
ton Jenkins Hains, indicted for com.
plicity in the murder, when the case
is resumed Monday.
Mrs. Annis has now 1oomed up as
the strongest witness for the prosecu
ton. The testimony of several other
witnesses for the state has been liter
ally riddled by John r. Mcintyre, chief
counsel for Hams, but there is a story
current that Mrs. Annis has a letter
written by T. Jenkins Hams to her
husband, which was a warning, if not
threat
Mrs. Annis is expected to go back
to the time of the conception of the
tragedy-the time when. it is alleged
Thornton Jenkins Hams revealed to
his brother, the captain, the scandal
connecting Mrs. Peter c. Hains's name
with that of Annis.
Justice Crane up to this time has
closely guarded every effort on the
part of the counsel for the defense to
get on the records the stories of dis
sipation and intrigues at Ft. Hamilton
which followed the killing of Annis.
If Mrs Annis has such a letter from
Thornton jenkins Hams, these scan
dals will be brought to light
Mrs. Annis may not know them, bu
Mr.. Mcintyre has heard them, and Il
is he who will draw her out of in
significant social functions-at leas
functions which appeared insignificant
to her-at the fort. and then, by in

ing. south of the city in Wayne and
Boston townships. have felt the big
stick, not, however. that one made fam
GUS by President Roosevelt, but of en-
tirely a different sort-that of the boy
colt. These men were among the
signers to a petition for county local
option election, although they prac-
tically derive their living off the re-
ceipts Of their products sold to saloon
keepers and those who favor the re-
tention Of the saloon. Immediately
upon receiving word that they had
been boycotted by the saloonists and
residents of this neighborhood, the
dairyman went to his friends who had
induced him to sign the petition and
| withdrew his name. Likewise went
the sauer kraut' manufacturer and
dealer, to a prominent local Lutheran
minister and withdrew his name from
the petition. This example was fol-
lowed by the gardener.
However, it was to no avail. The
three tried to again enter into the good
graces of their liberal friends. Their
advances were repulsed. Neither
could these three sell. nor could they
purchase from the saloonists. The
saloonists do not regard their action as
boycott in the general acceptance of
the term. They explain their position
by stating that they were making an

and about 60 residents who deserted
him. He was notified of the action in
rather dramatic manner and in one

refused stating that he did not want
his business. The gardener begged

for this reason was not attending to
his duties and that he had sent COM
munication to the Board Of Works to
this effect The matter has been un-
der discussion by the board.
The action of the Board is problem
atical as one of the members stated
last evening that he did not know
what the other members would do in
the matter, but that the first thing
would be to investigate the facts. DR..
Bond stated last evening that he him
self condemned such action on the
part of one of the city's officers es-
pecially as he had police powers. DR..
Bond also spoke in the highest terms
of Mr.. Young as worker, stating that

The girls figuring in the affair are
