Washington, Feb 13.-By a vote of
five to three the house committee on
election of president, vice president
and representatives in congress agreed
TO the favorable report of the Gaines
bill to reduce the salary of the secre-

Knox eligible for that position. This
was not done however until the COM
nlittee had voted down a motion to
ask the house to refer the legal ques-
ton involved to the committee on the
judiciary. A minority report will be
presented TO the house.
The meeting of the committee was a
spirited one. There were present four
Republicans and four Democrats out

tiona1 committee nothing definite was
obtainable regarding the undecided
places in the cabinet Mr.. Hitchcock
furnished certain information desired
by Mr.. Taft but the attitude of the
president-eIect to refrain from dis
cussing what may be in his mind on
this subject was not changed, and no
definite information was obtainabIe.
The afternoon of the city's dis
tinguiShed guest was spent at the
Country club, which not only afforded
the opportunity for a select luncheon
party in which Mrs. Taft was also
a participant, but an opportunity for
