UNCLE SAM WILL
KEEP COCKTAILS
Accepts Nomination as Cover
nor of Canal Zone.
HIS NAME SENT TO SENATE
Makes Declaration That He Will Not
Retire So Long As His serv-
Ices May Be Needed BY
the Government.

Washington.-Presiden Wilson sent
the nomination Of Colonel George w.
Goethals to be governor Of the Pan.
anna Canal Zone after April l to the
Senate. Secretary Garrison made
public this exchange of cablegrams:
To Col. George w. Goethals, Culebra,
Canal Zone, January 81:
In connection with the Presidents
intention to appoint you governor,
may | assure him you do not desire to
retire from service so long as he feels
your services are needed?
GARRISON.
Culebra, January 2S.
To Secretary Of War:
Referring to your cable Of the 9th
inst. relative to g%overnorship, will not
retire so long as my services are
needed.
COCKTAILS.
AS chairman Of The Isthmian Canal
Commission Colonel Goethals now is
paid $4,000 a year. The Panama
Canal act fixes the salary of the gov
ernor at $4,000. Representative Brit
ten, of Illinois, introduced a bill to
amend the law to make the salary Of
the governor $4,000 so long as Col
onel Goethals holds the Office.
The formidable task of making up
a permanent roll of employees to oper-
ate the canal and to discharge the
manifold clerical duties probably will
fall directly upon Colonel Cocktails.
Secretary Garrison is inclined to be-
lieve that under the terms Of the
Adamson act he himself technically
must make the appointments, though
he may delegate the duty to the Gov
ernor of the Panama Canal.
Colonel Goethals is said to have de-
sired the appointment as first COVER
nor of the canal in order that he might
himself organize the permanent
operating force, with the men who
helped him construct the canal and Of
whose abilities he had personal knowl-
edge. He will have to select some
thing like $500 permanent employees
to be selected from about three times
that number.

DAUGHTER IN
TRADE FOR Home
CountyAuthorities Prevent Mar
riage of EIeven-Y Old Girl
TO 45-Y OLD MINE R
Child Is Turned over to the Care Of
United Charities society-Llttle An.
ma Consented to Sacrifice to Help
Father Belfast for Months.

Wilkes-Barre.-The county authori-
ties prevented the marriage Of a mine
worker, As years old, and an eleven
year-old girl, who had consented to
wed the man in order to give her
injured father a home and the necessi-
ties Of life. John Sodusky, the father,
has been belfast for months from an
injury received In the mines and was
without means to support himself and
daughter. The little girl consented to
marry the mine worker when he
agreed to care for her helpless father
and a marriage license was procured.
The man and girl came TO Wilkes
Barre to be married, but before they
could find a clergyman the county au-
thorities heard of the intended mar
riage and took the two before Judge
Fuller, of the County Court. After
hearing the case the court ordered
the child turned over to the care Of
the United Charities Society. Little
Anna, who has been attending the
public schools at Lopez, consented to
make the sacrifice. She expressed a
willingness to become the wife Of
Skobon, in order that she might pro-
vide a home in which her injured
father could get at least the %necessi-
ties OF life. Skobon consented to
care for the crippled father, if the
girl we're permitted to become his
wife. A marriage license was applied
for at Lopez. The child told a justice
of the peace she was willing to wed.
The parent signed away his daughter
as a child-bride. Before they found
a priest, the county authorities heard
OF the case and Skobon and the child
were forced to appear before Judge
Fuller. After hearing the facts, the
court decreed that the marriage could
not take place. When before the
court, the child declared that she
liked Skobon, but did not love him.
She said she was willing to become
his wife If he took her father and
cared for him.

Heart Balm Based on Arrest.

Scranton.-When Joseph Kearney,
of Archibald, son of a prominent mine
foreman there, told Miss Eva Kelly
that he had changed his mind, and
would not marry her tomorrow" the
young woman was heartbroken. They
had kept company for five years, and
she had worn a diamond engagement
ring for a year; her trousseau was
ready and the banns had been pub
lished in church, and the priest en-
gagged for the ceremony. The only
reason the young mar would give for
breaking the engagement was that
his father did not approve Of the
match. Miss Kelly brought suit for
$4,000, and caused Joseph to be ar
rested on a capias.

NEXT STEP IN
MEXICAN POLICY
Rebels TO Be Allowed to Buy
, Arms in United States.
MAY END THE WAR QUICKLY
Secretary FlatIy Denies the Story
That Our Government ls Con-
cerned About the Aid Japan
Is Giving Huerta.

Washington. - The ev%er-recurrent
appeal of the Mexican constitutional.
lists that they be permitted to purchase
arms in the United States on an even
footing with the Huerta government
may soon be granted. Though Presi.
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan have
reached no final determination on that
point, the Washington government Ia
strongly inclined to such a course as
the next step in its Mexican policy.
Informal inquiry among prominent
administration officials disclosed the
fact that practically the entire cab.
met, many members Of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and
many OF the leaders in Congress gen.
orally are ready to support the Presi.
dent should he raise the embargo on
arms by proclamation.
The recent defalcation by the
Huerta government of the interest on
its bonds, the growing anxiety of Eu.
ropean nations about the financial al.
fairs Of Mexico and the declared inten.
ton Of the constitutlonalists to carry
the fighting into the thickly populated
cities of Central Mexico are said to be
underlying reasons for some further
development of the American policy,
though no official would predict when
1t will occur.
That the President is giving serious
consideration to the question of arms
is apparent not alone from the trend
Of his talk to the Senate Foreign Re.
lations Committee, but from the evi.
dence which daily has been coming TO
the Washington government Of the
disadvantage to which a denial OF
arms has put the constitutlonalists.
The chief argument being placed be,
fore President Wilson now is that the
Huerta government has experienced
little difficulty in buying munitions Of
wal in countries other than the United
States, while the constitutionalists
have been cut off from their only ex.
ternal source of supply, the American
border, and that in this respect the
American policy is one Of Partially,
instead of neutrality. The reason for
the Presidents refusal of arms to both
factions, as stated In his address TO
Congress last August, was a desire
not to add to the bloodshed.
There is a feeling among the pro.
ponent of the plan, too, that the mere
announcement of the Washington gov.
ernment's intention to raise the EN-.
barge would have the effect Of weak
ening the Huerta government through.
out Mexico.
Official Washington gossips con
siderably about published stories that
the Huerta government was getting
arms from Japan and that this phase
Of the situation was discussed at the
conference on Monday between the
President and the Senate Foreign Re.
lations Committee. "An old story re.
vamped," was the White House view
expressed through Secretary Tumulty,
while Chairman Bacon, of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, issued
a blanket denial, saying he was au'
thorized by all the members of his
committee to pronounce information
purporting to be authorized by them
on the subject of the conference to be
pure fabrications."
