Congressman Wilson
Likely to Head New
Department.
WAS ONCE SECRETARY
OF UNITED NINE WORKERS
w. C. RedfieId, of Brooklyn
Also Mentioned as Presi-
Dental Adviser.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The pleas
of union labor for representation at
the council table of the President of
the United States may be recognized
in the selection of Representative
William B. Wilson, of Pennsylvania,
to be secretary of the ,newly-created
department of labor.
This information, along with other
relia BILE advices, came to the political
leaders at the capital today direct
from Trenton.
Representative Wilson has been in
dorsed by the American Federation
of Labor and was at one time secre-
tarv of the United Mine Workers OF
America.
From the same source II was
learned that William G. Redheld, OF
Proolxlyn, n light be member OF the
cabinet. Just what portfolio he is be-
inc considered for was not divulged'
hnt if is known that the President
elect holds the highest regard tor MT
Redfeld's views on the tariff and has
for some time hoped to have him as
one of his close advisers.
Tbree Portfolios stilI in Dark.
About three portfolios-agr griculture'
interior and war-little information Is
known. and it is hinted that they VIII
he filled by men whose names have
not beea generally mentioned mere
tofore.
Though William A. Glasgow, a
btladelphia lawyer, and Edgar Far
rar. of New Orleans, former president
af tho American Bar Association, are
renorted still to be under the con-
sideration of the President-elect, tne
most reliable information obtaina pie
todav is that James c. McReynolds
of New York, will be tie new attof-
ney- general
Confirmation comes from every SIDE
that the President ELECT has picked
William J. Bryan for secretary OF
state. william G. NcAdoo. for secre-
tarv of the treasury; Josephus Dan
iels. for secretary of the navy, ana
Representative Albert Burleson' OIL
Texas for postmaster-genera
un. Louis ID. Brandeis in Mind.
The name of Louis D. Brandeis is
still known to be uppermost In MI
Wilson'S mind for the secretaryship
of commerce, as the post now held by
Mr.. Nagel probably will be called
hereafter.
Judge Thomas P. Riley. chairman
of the Massachusetts Democratlc
State Committee, and Humphrey
o,Sullivan, a Democratic leader, both
of Boston, visited the President-elect
at Trenton yesterday.
..They came to object strenuously
against a possibility for my cabinet,
explained the Governor.
When it was suggested that LOUIS
d. Brandeis was the object of the
protest the Governor smiled. Il don
think | had better mention names,
he said.
1t is said that Mr. Wilson from the
first was anxious to place Progress
sive Republican in his cabinet, ana
the selection of Mr.. Brandeis is be-
lieved to be result of that desire.
Though information as yet with re-
spect to diplomatic posts is meagre II
became known here today that Fred
erick c. Penfield, of Philadelphia, ana
Henry N. Morganthau, of New YORK,
very likely would be chosen for am
bassadorships. the former to Rome
and the latter to Berlin.

1S Auto Bandits
Declared Guilty

PARIS. Feb. 27.-The trial OF the
gang of twenty-five auto oanulls
who held Paris in terror for months
ended today after twenty-one days.
A verdict of guilty was returned
against eighteen of the prisoners on
counts including murder, arson and
robbery.
Among the indictments were no
fewer than twenty-five murders, the
victims being motor drivers, bank
messengers, freight agents and po-
licemen. The gang held up number
of suburban banks, broke into the
residences of prominent people, killed
the chief of the Paris detectives, set
fire to buildings. and finally when
their two leaders, Bonnot and Gar
nier. were in danger of arrest under

Haussling Returns
Unsigned Board of
Works Resolution.
FAVORS GROUTED GRANITE
AS BETTER SUBSTITUTE
Shows That Claims of Those
Fayoring Wood Are
Untrue.

Firmly convinced that wood block
is unsanitary and in many ways un-
suitable for thoroughfare of Broad
streets width. Mayor Haussling this
afternoon returned to the Board of
Works without his signature the
resolution to repave that thorough
fare with that material. The Mayor
veto message was a lengthy one It
discussed at some length the many
disadvantages that, in his opinion,
would result from paving the city's
principal thoroughfare with wood
Block.
The Mayor suggests also that
grouted granite be used. laid accord
ing to the modern methods. that the
work be divided into at least three
sections, so that the liveliest kind of
competition may be had. He sug-
gests further that the bidders be re-
quired to submit proposals involv-
ing the use of the present blocks,
broken or dressed to the standard
size. as well as for the use of en-
tirely new blocks Instead of re-
paving Broad street, from Pointer
street to Belleville avenue, it is the
mayors wish also that the south :
ern line be changed to Camp street
Property south of this street
object to the repaving scheme, on
the ground that the present pave
ment is sufficiently well preserved to
remain fer some time 10 come
1t is with much reluctance, the
Mayor states. that he opposes the
wishes of the business men and 9TH
ers who have united in the. effort to
secure wood block for Broad street.
He says. however, that he feels that
Broad street, more than any other
street in the city. is the thorough
fare of the whole community. and
that he is firmly convinced that the
manufacturing and commercial in
terests and the vast body of eiti-
zens are against the use of that
material.
Concluding. he says that if he has
misread public sentiment IN this
matter he is prepared to accept the
consequences. His veto message fol-
lows:

proval a resolution adopted by your

IN the person of Emilio Rabaso. is
expected 10 have the effect to bring
to speedy issue, the question of
recognition by the United States of
the provisional government of Mexi-
CO. Up to the present time the re-
lations between the two governments
have been on de faeto basis, and the
administration has not been COM
mitted n any sense to political
recognition of the Hnerta govern
ment, though Ambassador Wilson has
freely transacted business with it.
To Keep Troops on Border.
Now that the threatened revolt of
Governor Carranza. of Coahuila, has
actually taken form. the military
authorities here have concluded that
as yet it is TOO early TO carry out their
plans for any considerable reduction
of the American military force on
the Mexican border. Secretary Slim
son has assured the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations that no
precaution has been neglected to pre-
vent the entry into Texas of raiding
parties of Mexicans. and if necessary
some of the troops now being gather
ed at Galveston to make up the
second division will be at least tenn
porarily diverted to patrol duty on

VIII Hold Conference
It was learned that committee
from Mexico City had arrived in
Monterey and will go by special train
10 a point halfway between Laredo
and Monterey TO confer with COM
mittee named by the authorities at
present in charge of Nuevo Laredo. It
was said that another conference
will be held with the revolutionists of
northwestern Mexico, including Pas
cual Orozco, jr.
Recognition of the revolutionists in
Nuevo Laredo is not accepted to
mean that the new government rec
ognized their right to decree a 40
per cent. reduction in customs duties
or the appointment of new Mexi-
can consul on the American side of
the river. These acts are being left
for settlement at later conference.

A FEARFUL EXPENSIVE LUXURY
deserve.

The State of Missouri has prose-
cuted a number of insurance COM
panies Of that State under the State
Antitrust Law. The insurance COM
panies now threaten to leave the
State, whereupon the Attorney-Gen-
eral of the State gets out an iniunc-
ton preventing them from leaving.
This is rather a queer miX-up.
Missouri, however, might solve
the problem by establishing a sys-
tenn of State Insurance, at cost, and
allow the insurance companies to
leave the State, as they threaten to
do.
1t is we'll known that three times
as much money goes out of every
State in the Union to the big insur-
ance companies of the North as is
ever paid back on policies Of any
kind In short, insurance is the most
fearfully expensive luxury in which
the people of this country indulge.

expert has had himself and his fam
lily photographed in forty different
attitudes and has had these pictures

Of course have been impressed by the
fact that there is one important de-
rartment of the Government of the
United States, and that it is the
highest department, and that Jose
phus Daniels is the brains of the
whole outfit. There has been more
said about him and his department
than every other one of the ten Cabi
net offices, and even more than about
the President of the United States.
Ever since Mr.. Daniels was put
in the Navy Department there has
been constant speculation as to what
possible qualifications he could pos
sess for that position. The other
day a wag gave out what seemed to
be the most satisfactory answer so
far given to these queries, when he
said that it seemed to him natural
that Josephus Daniels should inherit
a fondness for Yankee gunboats.

PROTECTION FOR MONAZITE
AND THORIUM.

We note from the Shelby High
lander that a mass meeting of citi-
zens of Cleveland and adjoining
counties has been held in Shelby and
has passed resolutions in favor of "a
revenue duty on monazite and thori-
um."
The people who composed this
meeting are, of course, people who
are interested in mining monazite
and thorium, which are found in
large and profitable quantities in this
State. 1t is amusing to note that
they hide their real desire for pro
lection" of these two important min
erals, of our State, behind the words,
"a revenue duty on monazite and
thorium." How much are the peo-
pie interested in that mineral, con-
cerned as to how the Government
raises revenue. They are, of course,
not only in revenue but in tariff du-
ties that will actually protect these
industries so as to enable them to
mine these products at a profit and
not be run out of business by the
cheap labor that would mine the
same products in foreign countries.
These people are, of course, pro-
tectionists and are, therefore, Repub-
licans in principle and in fact, yet
they are hiding, still, behind the
name Democrats, and as such, are
trying to fool themselves, or at least
the rest of the world by talking
about a revenue duty for protection
of these State products. These men,
like the cotton mill people and the
cotton raisers, who have been hit so
hard by the proposed Democratic
tariff cut, ought to have the intelli-
gence and manhood to vote the way
they pray.
The Democratic party in it's last
platform declared that any protec-
ton was unconstitutional and was
robbery. Therefore, any protection
which a Democratic tariff bill would
afford to any of the industries of our
State, or Of the South, as we'll as
the whole country would be incon-
sistent, even if it was an incidental
protection from a so-called revenue
tariff.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1913-05-01
SHOULD VOTE AS THEY PRAY.

The president Of the National Hos
iery Association is sending out let
ters to the members of the associa-
ton all over the county stating that
the tariff situation looks exceedingly
gloomy for the manufacturers, and
urging every member to wire their
Congressman, wire every member of
the Ways and Means Committee, and
wire the two Senators, strong pro-
tests against the proposed tariff rate
in the Underwood bill as cit would
spell total humiliation and mean
confscation Of business"
AS one mill man has expressed it,
it is strange that most of the mill
men will vote the Democratic ticket
one month in every two years and
then pray the other twenty-three
months to be delivered from the pol
icies of the Democratic party. When
the South learns to vote as it prays,
it will then be in a position to re-
ceive the blessings that it will then
deserve
