CHAMBERLAIN WOULD
NOT BE SECRETARY

Washington, Feb. 2S.-"I would not
take the interior portfolio if it was
offered to me on a gold platter" was
the emphatic statement made by Sem
ator Chamberlain. 1T is too ridicu-
lous for me to discuss it further" was
the senator's only other comment.
The other democratic senators in
terviewed insisted that the senate
could not afford to lose Chamberlain
on account of the small majority in
that body. 1t is also believed that
the oregon senator will be the next
chairman of the public lands COM
mittee, which will give him greater
opportunities for the advancement of
political interests in Oregon than any
thing else. AS secretary of the in

severe criticism from one side or 9TH

BOURNE SAYS DIVORCE
AFFAIR is ABSURD

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-Fail-
ure to discover anyone here to whom
Mrs. Bourne has confided rumors of
her intention to file an action for a
divorce gives color to the assertion
made by friends of the senator that
no such action is contemplated, and
the belief is growing here that Mrs.
Bourne's departure for Oregon is the
sole ground for the rumor. It is
pointed out that Mrs. Bourne's return
to Oregon is due to the fact that the
senator's term expires mex Tuesday,
and presumably he will shortly return
to Oregon to commence plans for his
return to the senate.
"The whole thing is absurd" is
Bourne's only answer to all cores
pondents who seek a confirmation of
the first rumor.

ground know the real facts. There
are charges that a syndicate heavily
interested in Mexico is fomenting the
trouble, also that along the border
there will be some Americans killed
to force intervention by the United
States. My own view is that the trou-
bles in Mexico are due to the fact that
there is an upper crust and an under
crust but no middle class in that
country.
Il don't blame those who have
money locked up in Mexico for want
ing Intervention"
The vice president-eiect made II
plain to interviewers that he was not
in any way reflecting the views of
President-elect Wilson, with whom he
was in conference in Trenton. Presi-
dent-elect Wilson he said, had dis
cussed with him names suggested for
cabinet positions, but any announce
ment regarding the composition of
the cabinet would have to come from
some other source.
Mrs. Marshall in an interview de-
scribed the "hike" of the suffragettes
to Washington as too silly for any
thing" and blamed the American man
for thoughtlessness and lack of in
terest in affairs, which make women
attempt to right political wrongs.
Il don't belong to an anti-suffra-
gist society. because I wouldn't do
anything to oppose the vote, if we
men got it, and 1 certainly would ex-
ercise the right of franchise" she
added.
