HOUSE 70 FIGHT KNOX
Members of Lower House Object
to Removal OF Inellgibility
as Proposed by Senate
KNOX MAY DECLINE PLACE
Announces to Friends That He Will
Not Accept Cabinet Portfolio With
Cloud on Title or With Opposition
Taft Learns of Situaton-Prece-
dent in Grants Time.
<Nox MAY DECLINE PLACE

washington, Feb 12.-Circumstance
have developed which make it less GER
tain that Senator Philander C. Knos
will become secretary of state in Pres
ident Taft's administration. Mr.. Knox
has indicated to his friends that he
would not enter the cabinet If there
were any cloud on his title to the If
flee or if there should be any decided
opposition to removing his constitu-
tional ineligibility for the position.
1t became apparent there probably
will be decided opposition in the house
of representatives when that holy
comes to consider bill raising the an
listing embargo against Mr.. Knox.
The senate. however, already has
done it's part to smooth the way for
Mr.. Knox's entrance into the cabinet.
RAISING situation in which he has been
placed was passed by the senate late
yesterday afternoon. 1t was reported
from the committee on judiciary short
ly after the senate assembled, and Just
at adjournment time it was taken from
the calendar by unanimous consent and
put thru by a viva voce vote without
division. Nobody objected to it and 40
body had anything to say about its
merits. Less than a minute was con-
sumed in the operation.
Afraid of Secret Evasion,
The situation in the house is differs
ent. Representative Watson, of In
diana, the republican whip, made 4
canvass of his colleagues yesterday
afternoon tc, ascertain the prevailing
sentiment towards the measure to re-
move Senator Knox's disability and
his conclusion was that there was a
widespread opinion in the house that
the measure seeks to circumvent g.
constitutional decree, and is objec-
tionable for that reason. Representa-
tive Champ Clark. of Missouri, he
democratic floor leader; Representative
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
who retired from leadership to make
way for Mr. Clark; and Representative
Swager Shirley, of Kentucky. an able
young democrat, all declared they
would oppose the measure.
That the bill will meet with disfav-
or in the house committee on judiciary
was made manifest also. Six members
of the Judiciary committee are demo-
Gratis and all Of them have indicated
an intention to fight the bill. SO has
jenkins Of Wisconsin,
chairman OF the committee, who is a
republican. He takes the ground that
as Mr.. Knoxs constitutional right to
serve in the cabinet was impaired thru
his service in the senate at the time
when the law increasing the salary of
the secretary Of state was enacted, the
constitutional impeachment to his APP
pointment can not be removed by addi-
tional legislative action. The judiciary
committee is composed of eighteen
twelve of whom are repub-
licans.
Deadlock May Be Result.
It was said yesterday that in addi-
ton to Chairman Jenkins, two repub-
lican members of the committee were
to the bill. With six democrats
and three republicans opposed to the
bill the committee would he divided

Deadlock May Be Result.
1t was said yesterday that in addi-
ton to Chairman Jenkins, two repub-
lican members of the committee were
opposed to the bill With six democrats
and three republicans opposed to the
bill the committee would be divided
evenly and thus bring about dead
lock on the proposition.
In the knowledge that Mr.. Knox does
not intend to enter the cabinet if there
is a cloud on his title, it is apparent
that if the opposition outlined should
develop tonight he may withdraw his
acceptance Of Mr.. Tafts Offer
Mr.. Knox will not be filled with grief
If he should feel compelled to take
this course. He did not seek the Of
f1ce-of secretary Of state and his ac-
ceptance was given reluctantly.
Mr.. Taft was appraised of the situa-
ton, and also Senator Knox tele-
graphed his views to the presidents
elect. That Mr.. Taft wis disturbed
over the situation last night was adj
mitted today, but early today he re-
ceived the news of the disposition of
congress to amend the cabinet salary
law by making the pay of the secre-
tary Of state what it was before the
recent increase, and he was inclined
to take this as a happy solution of
the difficulty. Pending a conference
on the matter, which will take place
between Mr.. Taft and Senator Knox
in Washington next Wednesday, the
president-el elect regards it as impossible
to discuss the question for publica.
ton.
Precedent in Grants Time.
A search for precedents in the Knox
case has resulted in unearthing an
incident in government affairs back in
the seventies which gives the predica-
ment of Senator Knox better aspect
than it has borne since the question
was raised against him. 1t appears that
Lot M. Morrill,, United States senator
from Maine, resigned from the SEN
ate and entered President Grants
cabinet under exactly the same cir
cumstances as will surround Senator
Knox if he enters the cabinet on a
reduced salary.
The salaries of the cabinet officers
were raised and reduced during the
time Senator Morrill, was in the SEN
ate. He resigned, was appointed Sec
rotary of the treasury, and served as
such for several months without any
question ever being raised.
Ut is pointed out that if the house
follows the course laid out by the sem
ate yesterday in reducing the salary OF
the office of secretary Of state to Its
old amount and Senator Knox re-
ceives his appointment under those
conditions the course of Senator Nor
rill will be followed exactly. The
emoluments of the secretary of state
will have been increased and restored
to their former figure before the said
appointment is made, just as the
emoiuments of the office of secretary
of the treasury We're increased and
restored during the term of Senator
Morrill,. Certain senators and represen-
tatiyes who saw this precedent last

quently later than she ought, the wo-
man behind the counter is kept an
extra half hour or longer in busy shop
ping seasons rearranging the tumbled
heap before her, for the counter must
be cleared for tomorrow before she
turns her steps homeward
The duties of the woman behind the
counter are not confined to showing
and selling goods. The shopper Otter
has no ideas of her own us to what
she ought to have in trimmings or in
certain shades or in quantity, for CIV
cry shopper is not so fortunate as to
have dressmaker to furnish esti-
mates. If the woman behind the coun.
ter cannot assist the shopper in these
matters the shopper doesn't under
stand why, and she does her shopping
elsewhere. If the exacting shopper
who does this would keep silent anG
go elsewhere it would make no differ
ence to the woman behind the counter
But the shopper in question is so cor
stituted that she cannot leave tn
house without leaving a complaint

BEHIND THE COUNTER.
WY Women Are There, Their Trials

9Hsl, Women Are There, Their Trials
and Their Compensations.
The term shopgirl is not as harsh a:
cold type makes it appear. 1t came into
use in England. In the United States the
requirements Of women helpers in bust
ness have elevated her to a high stand
ard. Many Of these helpers are far
beyond the most liberal definition OF
the English classification.
With us the woman behind the coun-
ter is frequently qualified to acQuit her
self creditably in public society. The
fact that she is in business does not
necessarily mean that she is there b.
force of conditions. There is an indie
pendence in taking position which is
higher than that often sustained by
luxury. The woman who supports her
self or her mother or the whole family
and the latter is frequently the case
has already attained an enviable repu-
tation. That the supply of women
helpers exceeds the demand is proof O.
this statement.

ations of weather-indeed, freqUeHtl5
regardless of her own physical condi-

Regardless of the man on the FOO
who watches her time, regardless Of
the shopper who is too often impa-
fient and sometimes unreasonable, the
woman behind the counter must wear
the pleasant face and have the agree
able manner. Must it be admitted that
she is not infrequently the object OF
envy by one who is in the same bust
ness and who may stand beside her
all day?
This woman behind the counter mus
be at her place while many Of her sex
are still at their toilet, if. indeed. they
are not still in their morning slunber.
She must see that the articles In her
department are in attractive condition
before the earliest shopper arrives.
Trying hours await. Up to the brief
rest for luncheon she stands, although
in many first class concerns this has
been helped by arrangements for. sit
ting when there is q lull in business.
Besides the long standings, she must
exert herself many times during tho
day. by reaching up to shelves for
boxes and replacing the same.
When the sale is made her part has
not been played. Every article pur-
chased by the. shopper must be accu-
rately put on the check. The price must
