WILL CONTAIN NO
H0LD-OYERS
NEW PRESIDENT WILL HAVE EN-
TlRELY NEW BODY OF MEN
TO PRESIDE OVER.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The cabinet
situation which assumed definiteness
last night was not materially changed
by today's developments, which serves
only to confirm the finality of the Sc
lections Of Messrs. Bryan, McAdoo
Daniels and Burleson and to disclose
the steps by which other names had
been eliminated from consideration
1t became known that Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer OF PENNSYLVANIA
had been offered the portfolio of war
and had refused it, basing his decis
ion on the fact that he was a Quaker
whose antecedents did not comport
with the direction of that department
1t also was disclosed that Mayor
Frank Baker of Cleveland had been
offered a cabinet position and had de-
clined it because of public interests
and that Edgar H, Farrar of New Or
leans, former president of the Ameri
can Bar association, was being con-
sidered In connection with the. at

OF War Stimson and Major General
Wood gave assurances that such a
disposition of troops would be made
along the Texas border as would in
sure protection of that section against
invasion by marauders from Mexico,
They said seven regiments would be
placed along the Texas border.
They explained that the removal of
detachments from El Paso and other
Rio Grande points had been made
necessary by the crisis in the City of
Mexico, because of which it became
necessary to collect as large force rs
possible at the nearest point of en-
harkation at the earliest possible mo-
ment in view Of the fact that inter-
vention might be necessary. For this
reason the nearest garrisons were
rushed to Galveston.
With this critical time passed. they
said troops from points further OFF
could be brought to Galveston and
that there soon would be no cause for
complaint along the Texas border.
The Texas senators and committee
expressed satisfaction with the nssur-
ance given.

United States Officials Have
Greater Confidence in
Huerta but Will Withhold
Recognition Until After
the Elections.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Political rec
ognition of the provisional president
of Mexico is deemed n subject not re-
quirng immediate attention of the
secretary of state. and it became
known today that this subject will be
left to the next administration.
State department officials maintain
that no interest of the United States
will suffer by withholding full recog-
milton and that all necessary business
can he transacted under the present
working arrangement established by
Ambassador Wilson. This arrange
ment in no wise commits the United
States government to an acknowledge
ment of the legality OF the Huerta
government. II President Huerta is
able to conduct his government In
regular constitutional form, retain
undisputed possession of the capital
and extend full protection to foreign
life and property in Mexico, formal
recognition will not be withheld.
The United States government will
be influenced strongly by the extent
to which the Huerta regime provides
for a full and fair election Of perma-
nent constitutional officers.

Other Places.

The men who will fill the remaining
cabinet places. including the attorney
generalship, secretary of the interior,
secretary of commerce and labor and
secretary of agriculture, are said to
have been decided on but the place
each Is to occupy remains open to
change. 1t Is probable also that the
position of secretary of labor will be
created within the next few days so
that Mr. Wilson will have an addi-
tional cabinet place to fill. The per-
sonnel of these remaining places has
not been disclosed
The field for these positions was
narrowed today when 1t became known
that there would be no holdoycrs
from the present cabinet and that no
names other than that of Mr.. Burle-
son would be chosen from the mem
bership of the senate or house of rep
resentatives.
Gossip was active today concerning
the choice of Louis D. Brandeis OF
Boston for a cabinet position. His
name was connected with the filling
OF the. post of secretary of the depart
| ment of commerce and labor.
Attorney GeneraIship.
Chief interest in the cabinet situa.
tion centered about tho attorney gen.
eralship tonight and a report wa.
circulated that James McReynolds o

under consideration for the place b,
President-elect Wilson. Mr.. Nc,
Reynolds name was coupled as
probability for this portfolio with tha
Of Farrar.
Men high in democratic councils de
clared that McReynolds and Farra
have been under consideration 70
some time, but that late development
seemed to point to the selection of tn
former, who was assistant attorne
general in 19O3-7, and long has beel
specially retained by the United State
in trust prosecutions.
Though a democrat, Mr. McReynold
was engaged to prosecute the gov
ernment's suit against tho tobacc
trust. He also had charge of tn
prosecution of the governments sui
against the hard coal trust and car
ried the case through the suprem
court.
Mr.. McReynolds is native of Ken

STORY LESSON ON ELEPHANT
Animal intelligence and Faithfulness
Are Recounted for Study by
Man.

The elephant is said to be the most
intelligent of all animals; certainly
few four-footed creatures have served
man SO ably and faithfully. How
courageous and loyal they can be Ia
strikingly shown by an incident re-
lated by II. Perry Robinson in his
book "Of Distinguished Animals" says
the Youths Companion.
"A native Mahratta prince was en-
gagged in q fierce battle with his enc
mics, and the struggle ragged furiously
about the standard bearing elephant.
At the moment when 1t was ordered
to halt, it's mahout was killed. The
Mahratta forces were borne back, but
still the elephant stood firm, and the
standard continued to ny.
Accordingly the soldiers OF the
prince, unwilling to be outdone In
courage by an elephant, rallied. and in
turn drove the enemy back till the
tide of battle swept past the rooted
among the slain.
THE fight was won, and then they
would have had the elephant move
from the battlefield. but 1t waited for
the dead mans voice. For three days
and nights It remained where 1t had
been told 10 remain, and neither bribe
nor treat would move 1t. Finally they
sent to the home village on the Ner'
budda, a hundred miles away. and
fetched the mahout's little son, q
round-eyed. lisping child. Tben' al
