Senator Perkins reply to the request

at heart the honor and welfare of our

Washington, D. c., Feb. i1.--Senate
leaders, quick TO realize the justice Of
the point raised that Senator Philan-
der O. Knox is constitutionally ineligible
for the Office of secretary OF state be-
cause the salary Of that Office had been
increased during the term for which
Mr. Knox was elected to the Senate, put
their heads together yesterday in the
hope of deyising means to overcome the
impeachment to having Mr. Knox serve
as chief adviser TO President Taft.
The best lawyers of the Senate
agreed at once that Mr.. Knox could not
become secretary of state while the
salary which it had been increased by
Congress during Mr.. Knox's present
term, or at least that he would be in
eligible for the office at that salary UNI
Ill March 4, 1911, when the term for
which he was elected 90 the Senate will
expire. The first plan to suggest IL
self was to reduce the salary of the sec
Rotary of state TO the old figure, $4,000.
After much consultation the Senate
leaders decided that this would over
come the difficulty. The reduction will
be accomplished through the enactment
of q special bill or by adding an amend
ment to the pending measure making
appropriations for the legislative, exc
cutie and, judicial departments Of the
