current since the return OF the fleet
that the voyage practically wrecked
the navy.

ROOSEVELT
AND TAFT
At OUTS
President Is Said To Be
Piqued Because He Has
Not Been Consulted
About Cabinet.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, ID. O., Feb. 10.
Although no outward indica-
tions of friction are apparent to-
day it is being rumOred at the cap
itol that differences have arisen
between President Roosevelt and
his successor, President-elect Taft,
over the selection of the cabinet
that shall serve as advisers to the
incoming president.
1t is said that Taft Is framing
up his cabipot without seeking
the advice or counsel of Roosevelt
and that this action has caused
the president something of a
shock. 1t is rumored that Roose-
welt is piqued, particularly over
the refusal of Taft to seat Loeb
in the new cabinet.
OF course, nothing of the aileg-
ed GOODNESS between the two men
is apparent but from interviews
there is every reason to believe
that the president is as much in
the dark as any of the politicians
regarding the composition OF
Taft's cabinet. The situation rs
considered CALLING to the presI-
dent.

KLEIN IS LOSER IN
FIRST ROUND
\ COURT

After a passionate appeal by At
torney George, who Is represent
ing Joshua Klein, the radio
active" cult organizer, the demur-
rer filed recently by the attorney
was over-ruled this morning and
the case set for March 8.
The attorney for the defense at
tempted to show that he could not
prepare his side Of the case with
out knowing what exhibits would
be used by the prosecuting attor-
ney.
He asked that the knife with
which his client Is alleged to have
attacked Miss Dora Culbertson,
be produced, and that Miss Cul-
bertson be ordered to show her
wounds.
Judge Easterday, however,
stated that he did not think 1t had
ever been stated that Miss Gull
bertson had received wounds OF
any nature, and that the demurrer
would be illogical and useless.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 16.-
A heavy earthquake shock Is re-
ported today to have occurred In
vilayet of Sivas, where many
buildings, including several gov
ernment structures, were badly
damaged. Thirty persons are re-
ported to have been killed.
Owing to the damage wrought
by the tremblor, communication
with the stricken country Is dim
cult. and news dispatches are
fragmentary.
Heavy shocks were reported
forty miles from Buda Pest, where
the people fed from their homes
in terror and sought safety in the
open country.
Thousands of people are camp
ing in the hills and 1t is believed
that many are threatened with
death from hunger and exposure.
The population of the vilayet 10
estimated at more than million
