Speaker Champ Clark's turkey. 1t is a

sented it to the Speaker, and because OF
it's girth and height there isn't an oven

SAYS MILLER DEPOSITED
CASH FROM THE CHECKS
Miss krumke, at EmbezzIe-
ment Trial, Surprises Prose-
cution With Testimony.

Continuing her testimony for the de-
tense today, Miss Martha NJ. krumke,
former clerk Of the defunct First Co
operative Building Association of George
town. sprang a surprise on the prosecu-
ton at the trial of John Barton Miller,
former secretary-treasurer Of the assO-
citation, before Justice Gould and a jury
in Criminal Court No. 2. The witness
testified that the accused treasurer
placed in the cash drawer of the office
of the association in Georgetown the
money received from cashing the two
checks given by other building associa-
lions in payment Of transferred loans on
the property of Rev. Zed II. Copp and
E. c. Blackman.
These are the only two amounts on
which the governments case rests in the
embezzlement charge.
The witness said that she was also di-
rected by Miller to make the proper en-
try of the amounts on the books as cash
received.
On cross-examination the witness ad-
mitted she had testified at the former
trials of Miller, but had not then made
this statement nor had she disclosed this
information to any one before testifying
except 10 Auher anu W counSe' LUZ 'hs
defense, and then. only shortly before the
present trial.
The testimony called forth an extended
examination of the witness and pre-
vented the closing Of the evidence in the
case.
United States Attorney Wilson in his
cross-examination of Miss Krumke in
quired if she had seen Miller between
June &c. 1908. and Ser TENDER l following,
when she returned to his employ. Yne
witness protested she had not nor had
she communicated with him The Dis
triet attorney then produced letter
dated June %, 1908, directed to Attorney
Wharton f. Lester and signed by the wit
ness, for Mr.. Miller, but the witness was
sure she had not seen the defendant in
the interval. Miller was arrested July
Is, 1908.

M'REYNOLDS FOR CABINET
Representative Henry of Texas
Also Mentioned for Attorney
GeneraIship.

One OF the stories in connection with
cabinet possibilities which is going around
Washington today is that James c. Nc
Reynolds, formerly an assistant attorney
general, now practicing law in New York,
will be the Attorney General in the Will
son cabinet. Mr.. McReynolds is a demo-
crat and Is spoken Of as a man of great
ability and without political influence.
The story has an added interest in the
method OF its origin. A few days ago,
after Mr.. McReynolds had finished a
speech in one of the trust cases before
the United States Supreme Court. At
torney General Wickersham grasped him
by the hand and remarked:
II congratulate you on your speech, and
also want to congratulate you as my
successor"
Mention Representative Henry Also.
Mr.. McReynolds has had charge Of
the coal trust case, and was special
assistant on the tobacco trust case. He
has been a lifelong democrat, and that,
coupled with his special knowledge of
antitrust work, gives extra weight to
the cabinet rumor.
However, Mr.. McReynolds is not the
only man who is mentioned as a pos
sibility for the Attorney Generals posi-
ton at the cabinet table. Represent
alive Robert Henry of Texas chairman
Of the House committee on rules, is
spoken of with great frequency. He is
a Wilson man of unblemished record
in his support Of the next President.
