 Woodrow Wilson for the presidency soon after his election as governor of New Jersey.
 Other Possibilities.
 The other in this little clique were Robert s. Hudspeth, who recently
 was appointed prosecutor of Hudson county by Governor Wilson, not big job, but the one Hudspeth wanted
 William Hughes, who was elected United States senator from New Jer- sey because he had Governor Wilson g l backing; Willard Salisbury, recently i elected United States senator from Delaware; A. Mitchell Palmer, ol Pennsylvania, who is a certainty for the cabinet; Albert s. Burleson, who ! if he is not chosen for the cabinet be- cause Colonel House comes from the same state, will get some other big job; Robert S. Henry, chairman of the House Rules Committee, who will land somewhere if he desires; Hoke Smith, of Georgia, who is comfort able in the United States senate, and Thomas B. Gore, of Oklahoma, who is his associate in the upper house. X McCOmbs RumOr.
 It is pretty definitely understood that National Chairman William. F. McCombs will not be in the cabinet. Indeed, in political circles there is a rumor that grows with time that Mo Combs is not on the most friendly terms fifth the President-elect. The President-elect will doubtless call this "a malicious falsehood" as he did the stories of trouble between McCombs and McAdoo. The Presi- dent-elect's dissatisfaction with Me- Combs is based on a report that Me- Combs accepted certain campaign contributions that the President-elect did no tapprOve of.

Has MadcrO Been Shot?

Mexico City, Feb. 19.-Reports are being circulated consistently tonight that President Madero has been shot These rumors are not generally cred ited as it is known that General Huerta gave his word to Mrs. Madero that no harm should befall her hus- band.

NADERO'S FATE IS UNCERTAIN conquered President of
 Mexico is a Prisoner in Diaz Stronghold.
IT'S BROTHER KILLED
u;s Wife Visits Him in PriSOn-One American Was in Diaz
 Army.

Mexico City, Feb. 19.-With the 1ost vestiee of the feeble and short lived Madero power obliterated, Mex ico City under the new rule of Felix Daz. is still widely celebrating the dramatic developments of yesterday apparently unmindful of the danger that threaten from the rebels in the north and south who have yet to in dicate their allegiance to the trium- yirate of Diaz, Huerta and Banquet. Francisco Madero, Pino Suarez, his vice president, and the other federal nrisoners who were held in the Ma tion Palace last night, have been re- moved t othe arsenal, thus complying with the original demand of Felix Diaz that Madero be brought before him in his own stronghold.
 Madero's Fate Uncertain. Madero cannot be certain of what i his fate will be. Although it is plan ned to have him declared insane and confined in all asylum until such time as peace has been thoroughly established and then exileo. Many Of his friends fear he will meet the same fate as his brother, Gustavo, who was shot down in the arsenal to- day. E
 The safety of Madero's family has h8en guaranteed by General Huerta. Mrs. Madero was allowed visit to liner husband late last night. After a pathetic meeting with him she was conducted from his presence in state of complete collapse.
 Congress met today to accept the resignation of Madero and take up the matter of provisional president who will probably be Felix Diaz. The members of the Madero cabinet who were arrested last night were paroled today and many of them took Advantage of their liberty to flee the country.
 General Angeles, federal, who kept up the fight long after hostilities had ended, was arrested and is now con- fined in the arsenal with the other prisoners
 Unrest Outside City.
 Although peace is assured for the tune being at least in Mexico City, the overthrow of Madero has brought lar less cOntentment to the residents n the north and south, where rebel nandse continue to meet the pillage property and menace the lives of prosperous foreigners.
 Croszo and Salazar are operating in Ene north and the Zapata rebellion is pa iull swing in the south. If the eaders of these movements as threat ened, hold out against the new Diaz fepme, another period of disorder is Tl'ain The leaders are understood o Oe particularly bitter towards Gen 1sl Huerta and they are as zealous

 New York, Feb 19.-This is under stood to be President -elect Wilson S tentative cabinet, subject to the ap- proval of William Jennings Bryan. It is understood to be the list that Col onel E. M House took with him to Mi- ami Florida, two weeks ago, for the perusal of MT. Bryan. That the Com moner is not entirely satisfied with the president-elect's mysterious visit the president-elect's selection in some instances, was indicated by the presi- dent-elect's mysterious visit to Colonel House in this city Wednes- day night. MT. House is expected to get into further communication with MT. Bryan and the agent of the presi- dent-elect with view to reaching an agreement that will be satisfactory to Mir. Bryan and the president-elect. It is said that the question as to wheth- CT MT. Bryan accepts a position in the cabinet will depend largely on his pa proval or disapproval of the men who are to be his associates.
 President-elect Wilson denied when Colonel House was located in Miami, that he bore any message from him to MT. Bryan On Colonel Houses return the president-elect denied that Colonel House had delivered any mes sage to him from Mr. Bryan. This was literally true. The president elect however is a great hair splitter. Colonel House is so intimate with both the president-elec tand MT. Bry- an that it is not necessary for either of them to give him directions. He knows the desires of both his friends and his is the task of reconcilists whatever view may be conflicting.
 House Being Considered.
 Two names were added to the list of cabinet possibilities today. It was learned on good authority that Cap tain House, who has hitherto been omitted from the list, is being seri- ously considered for secretary of az riculture.
 The president-elect was asked about his visit to Colonel House on Wednes- day night.
 There was not a thing special about that he replied q simply had field day. I had long talk with Colonel House, but not about anything in particular. It was great comfort for me to get off and talk quietly with some man whose judg- ment l respect"
 The other new element in the cab met field is John T. McGrew national committeeman from West Virginia. MT. McGrews boom has been so quietly managed that he has not yet been seriously mentioned in connec- ton with any office. It was pointed out today by friend of McGrew that he is certain of his ground that he has not thought it necessary to send delegations to Trenton, as many oth- CT aspirants for the cabinet have done. MT. McGrew is one of the corr

WAR HAS NOT BEEN DECLARED

London, July 5.-Evidence thai
serious fighting is occurring in Ma.
cedonia is found in the arrival OF
large numbers of wounded and pris-
oners at the various Balkan capitals,
but owing to the silence at Sofia and
the conflicting and probably biased
stories from Servian and Greek
sources, it is next to impossible to
form any accurate idea of the prog
gress OF the struggle.
There still has been no formal
declarat ton of war, and although it
is reported the Bulgarian minister
to Greece has been recalled, he has
not departed from Athens
Premier Venizelos announced in
the Greek parliament yesterday that
the Greek forces had won a victory
at Kilkish and captured sixty guns.
This appears to have been gained by
the amazing swiftness of the Greek
advance from Saloniki, which ac-
cording to correspondents, surprised
the Bulgarians.

New York, July 3.-More than
$9S,OOO worth of jewelry stolen
from the Fifth avenue firm of Udall

1t was in a valise.
The jewels, among them a blue

repair clerk in the store, when TAX
en- to police headquarters for ques-
tioning, jumped from a window of
the building and fed. He had not
been found yesterday. The firm ap-
praised its loss at about $9S,000.
Detectives found the satchel Tues
day night and waited until yester-
day morning, hoping to make an ar
rest If any one came to claim the
bag. When no one came they took
the find to police headquarters.
There were $50 pieces Of jewelry in
the lot.

AMATEUR AVIATOR
SCARS OVER LAKE
Logan A. Villas Flies From St. Jo-
seph, Michigan, to
Chicago.

Chicago, July 2.-Logan A. Villas,
an amateur aviator of Chicago, made
the first aeroplane flight across Lake
Michigan yesterday His trip made
in an hydro-aeroplane from St. Jo-
seph, Mich, consumed about half an
hour more time than the aviator had
estimated it would take Villas was
accompanied by William Bastar of
Benton Harbor, Mich.
The course from st. Joseph, Mich,
is about fifty-eight miles in length.
Villas following the steamer route
was compelled to shift the level of
his flight because of air currents. He
faced a west wind at the start, the
breeze fading to a calm as he neared
Chicago.
Although $4,000 people lined
Michigan avenue on the lake front
and several thousand more were in
the Grant park stadium, few saw
the landing of the first aviator to
cross Lake Michigan. He volplaned
into the yacht harbor off Grant park
and then skinned the machine to
the shore under its own power.

johannesburg, South Africa, July
"A strike has broken out in the
Rand district which threatens to tie
up the entire gold mining industry
of South Africa. The dispute arose
from simple question about work
hours in the new Kleinfontein mines
and from there gradually spread In-
til the situation became so serious
that troops were called out to pro-
tect property.
The leaders of the unions have
called the general strike and the
men have promised to respond. The
closing also of some coal mines has
aggravated the situation and the
railway employees threaten to come
out. Meanwhile the electricians ap-
pear inclined to shut down the pow
er stations which have therefore
been occupied by military.

Photographs were made of bloody
finger prints on the platform. The
only other thing that the police hope
may furnish a clue to the murderer
is black cloth band evidently from
mans hat and found near the
body.
The police do not believe that
robbery was the motive for the muir
der as the assailant of the woman
did not remove her gold necklace
and locket, plain gold ring set with
a ruby.

Wan invasion of Bulgaria has been
repulsed, and Bulgaria, it is report
ed, is executing a turning movement
which will nullify the Servian ad
vance.
Suspension of judgment regarding
the operations, therefore, is advis-
able in the absence of independent
accounts.
The reported change in the minis
try at Sofia has not yet been confirm
ed, but is regarded as probable. Ru-
mania has officially proclaimed the
mobilization of her full strength,
but her intentions are still unknown.
The French government has infor-
mally approached the other powers
with the object Of obtaining a dec
laration of nonintervention. The
greatest anxiety prevails in financial

report was current yesterday that
the emperor had threatened to break
off diplomatic relations with the
Balkan states unless hostilities ceas-
ed.

and that as one result Kuhn, Loeb

had laid the foundations of gigan-

cerning the $S2,O0O,O00-which
amount is connected with the Union
Pacific surplus-was part of a bear
campaign to depress Union Pacific
stock, of which the railroad officials
have had knowledge for several
days.

Serious Clash in the Balkans Now
Seems to be Unavoid-

Berlin, July 2.--The Greek for.

pondent at Athens of the Frankford
Gazette that Greece intended to be.
gin war against Bulgaria today
without any formal declaration.
The foreign minister made the
following statement:
''After Bulgaria has answered all
the conciliatory steps of Greece by
repeated breaches of treaty and by
crossing the provisional boundary
fixed a short time ago, the Greek
government feels forced to give the
Ma cedonia divisions of its army the
order to assume the offensive.
War will in this way commence
without formal declaration and
the Greek government will submit
a statement in this sense to the Bull
garian government at Sofia today.
Greece declines to accept the re-
for this war, which I'M
will have consequent
ces."
The Greek legation here yester-
day received an official dispatch
rom Athens stating that the Bull
yarians had inaugurated a general
attack on the Greek and Servian po-
iitions in Macedonia along a front
