LATEST SUMMARY
 OF TAFT CABINET
PreSident-EIect Will Consult
 Knox on Positions
ROOSEVELT MEN To RETIRE
Two Men From the Far West Are Slated for the Cabinet-Myron T. HerrIck of Ohio May Be the
 Secretary of Treasury.

Cincinnati, December 19.-( (Speeia1)-A special dispatch to the Times-star (Charles P. Tafts paper) from Augusta says
 Cabinet slate:
 Secretary of state. Phllander c. Knox of Pennsylvania.
 Secretary of the Treasury. Myron T. Herrick of Ohio.
 Attorney General, George W. Wicker sham of New York
 Secretary of War, Charles Magoon
 Secretary of the Navy, William Loeb of New York or Robert M. Thompson of New York
 Secretary of the Interior. Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle Wash
 Postmaster General. Frank H. Htch- cock of Massa chusetts.
 Secretary of Agriculture. James Wilson of Iowa, the present secretary.
 Secretary of Commerce and Labor George A. Knight of California
 When Philander C. Knox, the Taft Sec retary of State. comes to Augusta to dis cuss with the President-elect the make up of the remainder of the new adminls- tration cabinet, Mr. Taft will ask him to approve of Myron T. Herricz, former gov ernor of Ohio. as Secretary of the Treas ury
 This fact can be stated as coming from authentic sources.
 The selection of Knox as Secretary of State is of vast significance in that it will probably mean that most of the men now in the cabinet who have figured as great Roosevelt supporters will lose out in the final framing up of the personnel of the Taft cabinet. The Preslden1-eiect is frank in his statement that he will depend on the counsel of Knox more than on the advice of any other man. This 8 taken to mean that the chances of Pinchot being. Secretary of Agriculture and Gar field being Secretary of the Interior are reduced to minimum When MT. Knox arrives here within the next week or so Mr. Taft will submit to him for his in spection and approval the cabinet list given at the head of this article.
 That oscar s. Straus will not be invited to continue as Secretary of Commerce and Labor is admitted in all quarters And there seems to be every reason to believe that George Von L. Meyer of Massachusetts will not be a member of the Taft cabinet. In addition to Taft's decision to give the treasury portfolio to Myron T. Her rick, the President-elect is determined to have at his counsel table man from the l Pacific coast. There may be two of them, l Knight and Ballinger. but 1t is certain | that there will be one. 1 Frank H. Hitchcock will not be molest- 1 ed in his place of Postmaster General is 1 sure. because Hitchcocks relations with l Knox are of the most friendly.

BILL TO RAISE PRESIDENTS WAGES

Washington, December 19.-Explain- ing his bill increasing the salaries of the President and Vice President, Sen ator Jor&than Bourne, Jr., of Oregon today said that aside from all senti- ment in the matter he is of the opin- ion that the man who is big enough to be President of the United States, the biggest corporation in the world, is cer- tainly as big as the president of a railroad or a manufacturing concern and should be paid as business prop osition what the demands of the posi- tions indicate as fair compensation. He declared that he also would make the extra hazardous risk of the position a basis for the justice of his bill. He said that while the salary of today's business manager is measured by the magnitude of the enterprise as well as by his fitness, the Presidents salary has never borne any relatively ade- quate proportion to the mental and physical work and worry of the posi- ton. which are annually increasing.
 "The President is charged" he added, with graver and greater responsibili- ties than any other person in the world. The cares, attentiveness, alert ness and elimination of personal inter- est necessary for good service are con tinuous and are terrific strain on the mental and physical vigor of the chief executive. The life tenure of the Pres idents since and including the older Harrison has decreased perceptibly."
 Senator Bourne called attention also to the fact that the president of France receives $114,000 as personal salary and like amount for executive ex- penses. He said that the comparison does our country no credit when It IS remembered that our national wealth is estimated at s124,000, ,OO0, ,0o0. while that of France is estimated at only $54 100000 Anothe reason which he gave why the Presidents salary should be raised Is that as a rule who have served our country as Presidents have generally devoted their preced- ing years more or less to public service and therefore have not entered the or fee well equipped with this world goods It is fact that almost every man who enters public life poor, dies poor. which seems to be the penalty of public service in America, aithoush it is fattering commentary on the integrity of our public servants.
 Mir. Bournes bill provides that the President shall receive salary or s10O 900 and the Vice President $25,ooo'

WHO WILL STEP
 INTO KNOX'S SHOES

Washington, December 19.-(Special.) As Is the case in New York, the Penn sylvania legislature only passes for mally upon United States senatorships. A few of the bosses get together, select a man and when the legislature meets there is ratification All speculation as to whom the Pennsylvania legislature will "elect' is therefore useless.
 Senator Knox was named by the late President Cassatt of the Pennsyl- vania railroad, but it is almost too much to hope that Knox's successor will be of his mental calibre. If H. c. Prick wants the place he can prob ably have it.

 Then there is Roberts, d Bayside Yacht club member a man who was on the flat when Annis was shot to bits in his boat sahe was trying to land. Roberts cannot be called until next week and on the testimony of Roberts, or rather on what flaws Attorney Mcintyre of the defense is able to find in it, largely depends Thorn ton Hains' chances for disagreement or a verdict for one of the lesser degrees of murder When the state started off with it's opening address to the jury it could see nothing but a verdict of murder in the first degree Now, outside of the em- ployed attorneys for the prosecution and the over-anxious witnesses for the state, there is no one at the trial who dreams of anything brt a lesser degree. Bets are already being laid that there will be disagreement and the odds on acquittal are not heavy. The puzzle is the Jury, ra ther than the evidence.
