SELECTING CABINET MEMBERS.
Wise Ones Give Out Names of Those
Said to Have Been Chosen.

Westinghouse was stated positive
ly in high congressional quarters closely
identified with the incoming admins
tration of President Wilson that the
following cabinet appointments had been
determined upon definitely:
Secretary Of State-William j. Bryan,
of ',ebraska.
Secretary of the Treasury--William G.
McAdoo, of New YORK.
Postmaster-General-Albert S. Burle-
son, of Texas.
Secretary of the Navy-Josephus Dan
iels, of North Carolina.
The foregoing ames and positions are
said to have advanced entirely beyond
the state of conjecture Or gossip and. be-
come finalities in the Forthcoming cab
met list. Other places in the cabinet
are said to be reasonably settled, with
the exception of the portfolios Of war
and agriculture.
The name of Representative A. Mitch
ell Palmer, of Pennsylvania, which has
been prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with the attorney-generalship, now
is definitely eliminated. 1t appears that
a cabinet position was rendered to Mr..
Palmer and declined, the expectation be-
ing that be would remain in the House
of representatives to be in a sense the
personal representative of Mr.. Wilson on
the important Legislation about to be
formulated.

Yazoo City.-With the strict censor.
ship exercised over the telegraph and
newspapers printed in the cities of Mex

truth of the real conditions which now
exist in the Mexican capital. The real
conditions, however, are outlined in a
long letter and a number of postal cards
received in Yazoo City by Mrs. r. S.
Wheless from her sister, Mrs, Robert
Hoskins, who has been living in Mexico
City for the past Is years. Mrs. Hoskins
is a native of Madison county and is u
lady of rare mental attalnments and
gives a graphic story of the privations
and actual danger of death that now con-
fronts non-combatants who live in the
very storm center of the internal strife
that has for the past two years kept
Mexico in a turmoil. Mrs. Hoskins says
that the attitude of the United States
in giving Mexico soothing syrup has
made us the jest of every foreign coun-
try" and that 1.-The blood OF every Amer
lean killed or wounded in these two
years of trouble is upon the United

Attractive Rural Homes.

Cities have no monopoly In pretty
homes, nor should have, for it Is
much easier to garden or embellish
successfully in the country. Every
rural home should be attractive. or
course, paint and neat, classy build
ings and fences have much to do with
It, but without these one may have
much of beauty. Vines work wonders
in hiding ugly structures, h%arshness
OF architecture and lack Of paint. The
chief outside attractions of my place
should be trees, shrubs, and Towering
plants, either In city or country. In
rural communities we do not so much
notice the architecture as the Sur
roundings, for the latter speak TO,

PUJo COMMITTEE Is BUSY.
Worked Upon 1t Until Late Hour
Tuesday Night.

4ueSudy NlgnI.
Washington.-The Pujo money trust
investigating committee lahored until
late preparing its report to the House.
With Samuel Untermyer, counsel for
the committee, the members began work.
Mr.. Untermyer's report, a voluminous
document, was presented to the com
mittee. About half of the lengthy state
ment was read and the members of the
committee expected it would be impos-
sible to conclude the consideration Of
his recommendations and frame the re-
port in less than two or three days.
After the report is read the committee
will take up each subject treated by
Mr.. Untermyer and will consider sepa.
rately his recommendations for legisla-
ton.
Several points in Mr.. Untermyer's
recommendations caused spirited discis-
sion. Among them were the regula-
ton Of interlocking directorates in inter
state corporations, the regulation Of
stock exchanges and proposed federal
control of clearing houses.
Mr.. Untermyer's report recommended
legislation regulating stock exchanges,
through refusing the use of the mails
and interstate telegraph and telephone
lines to such exchanges which failed to
comply with prescribed regulations. Diff
ference of opinion was expressed on that
point and the committee members were
inclined to analyze Mr.. Untermyer's con
illusions closely.

Michigan, in a fight over the postoffice
appropriation bill in the Senate.
There has not been a cabinet officer

The provision in the postoffiee bill to
require popular election of postmasters
in f%ourth-class offices paying salaries
OF more than $500 provoked great d.

prove a much more satisfactory method
of filling postoffices than to place the
postmasters under civil service rules.
The provision was finally stricken ont

RIVERS AND HARBORs BILL
Measure Passes Senate After q Pre-
longed Fight.

WashingtOn.=The annual rivers and
harbOrs appropriation bill was passed by
the Senate after a prolonged fight,
Amendments added to the bill by the
Senate brought predictions that the
measure would be vetoed by the presi.
dent, because they were in direct Op-
position to his expected policies.
One of these amendments was the
Connecticut river dam bill, which had
been passed by the Senate a week ago.
Senator Swanson, of Virginia, made the
prediction that if this feature stayed in
the bill the president would veto the
measure.
The bill as reported to the Senate
from the commerce committee carried
an appropriation Of $4s,O91,745, an in
crease of $~7,21S,7s7 over the amount
authorized by the House. Several
amendments adopted by the Senate in
creased this sum materially.
The bill of Senator Newlands, Of
Nevada providing for the creation of .
river regulation board to take over all
river improvement, after it had once
been ruled out IN a point of order.
The bill as finally adopted was at
tackled in bitter terms by Senators
Burton and Owen. Senator Burton de-
clared the House committee on rivers
and harbors and the Senate committee
on owes an apology TO a null
titude of people for the provision in the
bill extending the jurisdiction of tho
Mississippi River Commission.
He said this provision wa the OPEN
ing wedge for the expenditure of tens
of millions of dollars annually and
while there were some items that were
worthy of adoption, there were many
others that were not. Senator Owen
said the measure had been drawn in o
'haphazard manner and that while he
was in favor of improving the water
ways of this country he was opposed
to "pork-barrel' measures of this kind

CONTROL OF GERMAN CITIES

Of Twelve Years.

German cities are perhaps the best
governed Of any In the world. The

selected by the council for q term. In
many instances, of twelve years, ID
generally reelected to a second term
and Is thereafter eligible to a pen

He Is selected because of his spe
cial fitness, and training for the work
ts as elaborate al training for the
physician or lawyer In this country
When a German mayoralty is vacant
candidates from other cities present
themselves to the council with their
credentials.
German burgomasters are far better
paid than American mayors. They
have a corps Of trained assistants
who also are specialists with definite
training for their particular work. The
police department is under the direc-
ton Of the central government. NUM-.
cipal ownership Is both common and
profitable. Street railways and water
works are operated at a profit. Some
cities operate savings banks which
have accumulated vast SURPRISES to
loan to people who buy homes.
This country has much to learn
from Germany in the management Of
fts municiDal affairs. Our system Is
VIGOROUSLY cumbersome and ineff-
cient. We have i~ntrusted Jul ideals
Of the "city beautiful" too long to
hack politicians and retainers Of spe-
cial interests. We cannot have a gov
eminent OF the whole people, for the
whole people or by the whole people
