Mans Business Prevents Accept
ance Of Treasury Portfolio.

New York. Feb 24.-Ex-Goy Myron
T Herrick of Ohio viii not be secre.
taiy u the Treasury nj tie Faft ce.is i
net. This fact is set forth in the fol
lowing statement written by Mr.. Taft
after lengthy conference with Mr..
Herrick yesterday:
.'At the invitation OF the president
elect, Gov. Herriek called on Mr. Taft
to-day. Mr., Tsst authorized the state
ment that the mention of Mr.. Herricl5
for the portfolio of the treasury, as If
he had been candidate, did him great
injustice, because Mr.. Herrick wrote
Mr.. Taft as early as December last to
say that his business engagements
We're such as to prevent his acceptance
of place in the cabinet"
Mr., Herrick, when questioned said
that he had nothing to add to this
statement, which was made for the
purpose of making the record COM
plete 49,.
The elimination of Mr.. Herrick at
his own request would seem to put
Franklin McVeagh of, Chicago in the
lead for the place, but the only light
Mr.. Taft would throw on the situation
last night was that, it would be seYera
days yet before the matter would be
settled. ~
Mr.. Taft's entry into New York,
where he arrived. from Philadelphia
yesterday, was entirely without osten.
tation. He entered a closed automobile
at the Jersey City ferry and did not
leave it until he aIighted atsthe Forty
eighth street residence of his brother,
Henry W. Taft, whose house guest he

later decision is that the senator will
remain in Washington.
To address . meeting in the interest
OF Hampton institute at Carnegie hall,
which he did last night, and TO attend
Friday" night the dinner to be given in
honor of Elihu Root, are the purposes
of Mr. Taft's visit to New York He
will take advantage of the time be-
tween the two engagements to finish
two or three magazine articles he has
agreed TO write, saying he can obtain
more seclusios here than would be pos
sible in Washington.
In speaking on the negro question,
Mr.. Taft said the country has the
problem on its hands and it must be
solved. He said race feeling does
exist and it is a part of the problem.
No unprejudiced person, Mr., Taft
said, could read the statistics OF the
negro race in the past so years and
not feel convinced that solution was

THE FIRST sklHMlsH WON
PRoHiRITIoNIsTs GET A FAVOR
ABLE COMMITTEE REPORT.
ResubmissIon of the Constitutional
Amendment Goes To the Floor
of the House.

lDes Moines, Feb. 24.--Towa Prohibi,
tionists have won the first skirmish in
the battle for resubmission of con-
Istitutional amendment prohibiting the
sale and manufacture of liquor.
BY vote OF IL to 6 the house com
mittee on the suppression of intemper-
lance yesterday afternoon voted for the
Meredith resolution for resubmission,
land it will be reported to the house
with recommendation for it's adop.
|tion.
But two republicans on the commit
tee voted against the resolution. Hard
ing of Sioux City and Kellogg OF Mis-
souri, Valley cast their votes with
Koontz of Iowa City, Wolfefof Clinton,
Miller of Waverly, and Ritter of Bur
lington, all democrats. The resolution
was carried without discussion and
only the slight nervousness or mem
bers as they sat about the table in the
little committee room In the topmost
lcpner Of the state house betrayed the
fhnportance 81 the question befofe
them.
Fight Goes to Floor.
The fight for resubmission is now on
the floor OF the house and every mem
Der OF that body must either go on
record or take to the cloak room when
the vote is called, which probably will
be this week.
Attempts to line up republicans
against the resolution on party
grounds have failed completely. The
argument that democrats would carry
the state or at least make serious in
roads at the next election If a republic
can legislature took step toward re-
has been used with little
effect, and each mans vote lies be-
tween his conscience and his constit-
uents.
Arguments against the resolution
will be on the ground that legislator
should not vote for something in
which he does not believe merely be-
cause it is to be submitted to the peo-
pie, and that experience in other states
has shown the failure of constitutional
prohibition.
Backed by Petitions,
Friends of resubmission are backed
by flood of petitions signed by more
than $4,000 names, and by the wave
of prohibition that is. sweeping the
country. They demand that the legis-
lature permit the people to express
themselves on a question that is rec
ognized as the foremost issue now be-
fore the nation.
Prohibition forces are by no means
over confident. The democratic mem
bers will be almost, but not quite. solid
against them, and opposed to resub-
mission will be group of the most
Influential republicans, Including Rep,
resentatiye Harding and his friends.
1t is freely predicted that the senate
committee on suppression of intemper,
ance will not report favorably upon
The resubmission proposition. and the
additional prediction is made BY some
OF the members, that should the meas
IRE reach the floor OF the senate it
would be voted down.

classes.
After careful deliberation the commit
tee decided to add a new class, and
called it the ~"fyweight." setting the
limit at liz pounds.
It placed the bantamweight limit at lis
pounds. which was formerly the feather
weight limit.
Then it fixed the lightweight limit at
135. the w~elterweight limit at 147, the
m~iddleweight limit at 16l and the light
heavyweight limit at 175.
It didn't alter the featherweight limit.
which on the other sid Is 126. No provi-
sion was made for that class of boxers
fighting from Jos to 10 pounds.
IT is believed that this new weight scale
will be adopted officially by the National
Sporting Club. and will govern all con
tests held there IN future, but it will hardly
prevail in this country.
