New York, Feb 24.-Mr. Taft today
completed his cabinet by the offer Of
the treasury portfolio and its acceptance
That the offer was made to and accept
ed by Franklin Mac Veagh Of Chicago is
as near positive statement of what is
believed to be the fact as may be made
in the face of an absolute refusal by Mr..
Taft to throw any light on the most in
,teresting situation. u .
It is. vaguely hinted Z that there are
things to be accomplished, in Washing
ton before an announcement may be
properly made. Mr.. Taft, however,
gave bold hint. tonight that it might
be possible for him to .divulge the iden-
Z tity of his latest cabinet acquisition in
the near future" But he atonce qualified
the hint with an expression Of doubt.
! In spite of strong belief that Mr.. Mac
Veagh had. been offered the treasury
portfolio and had already, >or would ac-
scept,, there were reports that the name
OF N. b. Hepburn, former comptfolleI
Of The currency, and also of Chicago, !
had figured largely in the conferences on
the subject. ID, -,

arise, to eliminate Mr.. MacVeagh from

Mr.. Hepburn would be selected to take
his place. IL. -.

M'CUMBER LOSES HIS GRAIN Fight

Washington, p. c., Feb. 24.-Sena-
tor McCumber made an extended
rgument in the senate today to sus-
tain the constitutionality of legislation
authorizing the grading by the feder-
al government Of grain entering into
interstate commerce, in connection
with provision of the agricultural
bill, which was under consideration.
The fixing of definite grades of grain
was, on motion of Senator Aldrich,
stricken from the paragraph, which
was finally adopted, authorized the
secretary of agriculture to ''investi-
gate the handling, rading and trans
portation of grain and to make study
of factors entering into the usual op-
erations connected herewith for
which So, ,440 was appropriated.

PALMETTO NEWS ITEMS
Things Doing And Happening In Sunny Carolina
Told In Condensed And Pithy Phrase.
Unloaded Gun Was the Cause.

Columbia, Special.-Gov. Ansel
Monday granted a pardon to Ursa
Altman, white boy, who last fall in
Spartanburg county was given SEN
tence Of two years on the charge of
taking the life of playmate, Tom
Burgess.
Gov. Ansel has not been liberal in
the use of the pardoning power, and
his action in this case was taken de-
hberately. He wrote upon the appli-
cation for pardon, "Under the cir
cumstances of this case and the state
ment from the solicitor and the Judge,
the pardon is granted"
The two boys, Ursa Altman and Tom
Burgess, were playmates at the Ap-
palache mills, near Greer. The bows
often hunted together. On the day
OF the tragedy, Altman, who had two
slngle-barrel guns, loaned one to a
friend and taking the other himself
started out hunting. After they had
gone short distance they met Bur-
CESS In the road. Altman, believeiug,
ne says, that the gun was not loaded,
pointed it at Burgess and the gun
went off. The Burgess boy was
killed.
The evidence in the case, says the
petitioner, shows that thew were
close friends. No malice was shown
and the killing was alleged to be ac-
eidental.
There was an agreement between
the solicitor and the defendants S at
torney's that Altman should plead
guilty, receive q sentence of two
years, and, after six months i'm
prisonment, the solicitor would ask
for the boys pardon.
A contra petition, presented in
this case by relatives of Burgess,
stated that the sentence was regard
ed as very light in the Greer COM
munity and that Sin a moment of
trying to be big Altman did to death
an innocent little fellow" But Mrs.
Burgess, it was stated by those who
presented the original petition, did
not have any feeling toward Alman
and although Gov. Ansel set July l9
as the date for hearing this case none
of those who opposed the granting of
the pardon appeared before him.
The prosecuting attorney, Judge T.
S. Sease, wrote the Governor:
"This is correct statement of an
agreepaHtrswhereby Altman was to
80 guilty on condition that I
ssarecommend his pardon at the
erS six months and I now urge
that M, be- pardoned according to the
States agreement" I"
Judge Memminger wrote:
"The agreement being certified to
by the solicitor we think it should be
carried out and the boy pardoned.
