INCORPORATION
BILLS SIGNED.

TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 1s.-Presi-
dent Elect Wilson RETAINED from
making any statement for publication
today respecting his long conference
with Colonel E. NJ. House in New
York last night, but there is no doubt
In the minds of those close to Gov
ernor Wilson that the purpose of the
hastily arranged meeting was TO put
the finishing touches on a cabinet
slate.
There is no doubt now that the
president-el elect has tentative slate
of cabinet choices clearly fixed in his
mind. although he says he must wait
until he Is inaugurated before max
ing an official announcement.
Colonel Bryan will be secretary of
state. This statement Is made on the
authority of man who is as near
to the governor as Colonel House. and
who will be an important figure In
the next administration. But Mr..
Bryan has not been permitted to pick
the other members of the cabinet.
Place for Mc-Adoo.
william @. McAdoo will be either
secretary of the treasury or postmas-
ter-seneral. Josephus Daniels as
pires to the latter place, and will get
il il Mr.. McAdoo does not.
= For a time National Chairman VIII
liam +. McCombs was considered for
the place. but he and Governor Will
son are not, 1t is said. so friendly as
they were. Certain features OF the
recent campaign. which came to the
attention OF Governor Wilson after
election, are understood to be respon-
sible for the present GOODNESS between
them.
Those who understand the situation
would not be surprised If Mr.. Nc
Combs resigns when the national
committee meets on March 5th.
Charles II. Crane is the likeliest
choice for secretary Of war. and the
navy portfolio will probably go to
John r. .McGraw, OF West Virginia
Palmer Attorney General.
Congressman A Mitchell Palmer
will be attorney general. The secre-
taryship OF the interior will probably

Montana, For the department of ag-
riculture Mr.. Wilson has in mind three
men at least. They are Obadiah Gard
ner, of Maine. Congressman Burle-
son, Of Texas. and Herbert Quick, Of
Ohio. The objection to Senator Gard
ner is territorial. Should he be
named there would be two appoint
ments from New England. since Louis
d. Brandeis Is sure to be secretary
of commerce and labor.
Governor Wilson devoted his time
today almost entirely to state mat
tiers. He signed the seven corpora
ton bills this afternoon,

names of candidates will appear each
day, but the votes they viii be credited
with in the paper will be the coupons
clipped therefrom. No candidate viii
know the standing OF another.
Auction Feature Eliminated
Any one desiring to enter can plain
ly see that this feature eliminates the
possibility of the contest assuming the
features of an auction. No candidate
will be spurred on to use greater ef-
fort, neither will candidate be told to
stop. 1t will be simply case of every
candidate using his or her own judg-
ment.
The one who receives the most sub
scriptions at the beginning will have
the best chance to win. or In other
words candidate can elnch the grand
prize during the first vote offer OF the
contest which will be announced Feb
ruary asth. In the meantime secure as
many promises for assistance and sub
scriptions as possible. and do not over
look the Importance Qf an early start.

EIueytas Boastful Message to
President Taft Does Not
Allay Pessimism
HASTY EXECUTION
HAS UGLY LOOK
Gustavo Madero, Brother Of
Fallen President, Was Guest
of Huerta When Arrested;
is Put to Death

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-The de-
tailed accounts of, the overthrow OF
former President Madero, of Mexico
and the circumstances by which his
downfall was accomplished, together
with subsequent events in the Mexi-
can capital, today served to increase
the pessimism felt in Washington last
night when 1t was learned that Gem
eral Huerta had been proclaimed pro-
visional president.
The treachery with which the dis
patches from Mexico reeked today
brought expressions of disgust from
all quarters in Washington.
Many in Washington, who have
hitherto expressed trust and conf
dence in Mexico, and her people, to-
day maintained that the series of be-
trayals and executions accompanying
the downfall OF Madero. would indict
the Mexican people before the world
Many. who have hitherto been OPP
posed to Intervention in Mexico. pre-
dicted that the events OF the last
thirty eight hours In Mexico City
would ultimately prove to have done
more to bring Intervention nearer
than anything else that has occurred
AT the state department. Of course.

So far, however, the dictators have
treated Francisco Madero with re-
spect, and have sent assurances to

hearing OF the West End citizens. that
the Richmond and Henrico Railway
company would withdraw the present
petition for extensions in the West
End. and present an amended one.

citizens. 1t Is likely that the Rich
mond and Henrico company win ask
to use tracks of the Virginia Railway
and Power company ON Harrison and
Robinson streets. and that the extern
sions In the far West End win stand
In the petition.
After having heard more than a
score of citizens from the East End
and the West, on the street railway
extensions. the subcommittee on
streets last night adjourned over to
4 O'Clock next Tuesday for further
hearing from council for the Rich
mond and Henrico company,
The meeting was held in the coun-
Gil chamber That room was crowd

from both sections or the city. They
were there to either protest against
the placing of tracks on certain
streets or to advocate the placing of
tracks on' other streets.
