bons received the suffragette army
of the Hudson in audience and was
presented with a "votes for women"

the cause his callers advocated He
assured them he felt honored by THE

the hearts of the legislators as hard
as the ground they had trodden oil
the stones they had stumbled over on
their journey. He shook hands with
each of the mixers and gave them his
blessing upon their departure.

THIS IS SAID TO
BE NEXT CABINET

Washington, Feb. 26.-AlthOugh no
official verification Is forthcoming
from President-elect Wilson, news
comes from Trenton i'm a way that its
reliability can hardly be questioned,
that the following five cabinet ap-
pointmentS have been decided upon
and the acceptanceS received: Secre-
tary of state, Bryan; Secretary OF the
Treasury. McAdoo: secretary of Navy,
Daniels; Attorney General, Brandeis;
Postmaster General, Burleson of Tex
as.
Other names which have been
prominently mentioned for the attor-
ney generalship, but which now are
eliminated from this or other cabinet
portfolios, are Chancellor Walker OF
New Jersey. and REPRESENTATIVE Hen
nv of Texas. Chancellor Walker was
highly regarded and 1t is probably
due to his own wishes that his name
no longer is considered.
Two other men, Congressman Pal
mer of Pennsylvania, and Mayor Ba-
ker of Cleveland who had been slat-
ed for a cabinet position, declined an
appointment. Palmer 1t is said, was
slated for secretary of war, but turned
down the portfolio because of his re-
ligious scruples. He is quaker and
his sect is opposed to war. Baker de-
clined because he wants to remain as
Cleveland's mayor and carry out re-
forms already started there.
Washington, Feb. 26.-1t was stat
ed positively last night in high con-
gressional quarters closely Identified
with the incoming administration OF
President Wilson that the following
appointments had been determined
upon definitely.
Secretary of State-William ]. Bry-'
an, Nebraska.
Secretary of the Treasury-William
G.. McAdoo, New York.
Postmaster General - Albert ;.
Burleson, Texas.
Secretary of Navy-Josephus Dan
iels, North Carolina.
The foregoing names and positions
are said to have advanced entirely
beyond the stage of conjecture or
gossip. and become finalities In the
Forthcoming cabinet list. Other places
in the cabinet are said to be reason
ably settled, with the exception OF
the portfolios of war and agriculture.
The name of A. Mitchell Palmer OF
Pennsylvania, which has been men
toned prominently in connection with
the attorney generalship now is elm
mated. 1t appears that cabinet po-
sition was rendered to Mr.. Palmer and
declined, the expectation being that
he would remain in the house of rep
resentatives to be in sense a per-
sonal representative of Mr.. Wilson in
the important legislation about to be
formulated. This plan was carried
into partial execution when the an
nouncement of Representative Burle-
son, that he would resign the position
of chairman of the democratic house
caucus at an early date, was coupled
with the announcement by house
leaders that Mr.. Palmer would sue
