WILSON CABINET
WILL Be MIXED
Conferences on the Special Session
Program Also Are
Completed.

Princeton. n. j.. Jan. ii.-Presi-
dent elect Wilson has about com
pleted his conferences with the
Democratic leaders Of the county,
and his plan now is to unravel the
tangle of Views that have been sub
mitted to him and reach a conelu-
sion with respect to the two import
ant subjects uppermost in his mind.
These are the personne of his Cabi-
net ana the program the President
will outline in a special message.
Governor Wilson has not made up
his mind as to a single detail of the
cabinet lie has not given any IT
his visitors any intimation that
might lead them to believe that he
fayo.s one man more than another
Tor any particular position At no
time has he taken pencil and writ
ten down even a tentative slate.
The Governor says that any spec
ulation purporting to emanate from
friends of the Governor" or those
who are in the confidence Of the
Governor" is made out of who c
cloth.
Moreover, he does not propose &c
drop hint that will give the slight
est indication OF his p ans, and II L
his intention when he has finally
made Up his Cabinet TO announce ii
all at once.
It can be stated as positive fact,
as has been sad in the dispatches
before, that it will not be a purely
Political cabinet. Governor Wilson
has no idea of using government pat
ronage to pay his personal political
debts He does purpose to assemble
a cabinet that viii be able. because
Of its high standard of ability, tt
cary out his program of reform.
The program for the extra session
Is one that has given the President
elect good deal of concern. He
has heard many conflicting opinions
as 10 whether the tariff alone should
be considered or whether other
pledges set forth in the Democratic
platform should be carried out at
that time or left for the regular ses-
sion.
He and his visitors have made
very thorough discussion OF the ne
cessity for currency legislation ans
II has been determined TO have leg
islation on this subject ready for in
PRODUCTION at the extra session, even
If at the last moment 1t is deemed
best to withhold it for the time be
ing.
Trust legis alton also has come ir
TOR consideration, and this is SO
closely interviewer with the tariff
and the currency that it may be-
deemed advisable to add it to the
extra session.

a feeling that the services Col.

of official recognition. but the Ne

w. K. KELLOGG REPLIES TO
GOVERNMENTS ACTION
AGAINST CORN FLAKE CO

The action of Attorney General
Wickersham in bringing an action
against the Kellogg Toasted Corn
Flake Co., OF Battle Creek. Mich, un-
der the Sherman antitrust law has
cccasioned widespread surprise in
manufacturing circles and those
most conversant with issues center
ng around grocery trade selling
policies are in the dark regarding
the Government expectations III the
present suit
According TO leading members of
the grocery trade, there appears to
be some misunderstanding on the
part OF the government attorneys as
to certain important facts. The Kel-
ogg Company has no contracts at all
with wholesale or retail grocers and
has always maintained absolute in
dependence Of other manufacturers.
There is a suspicion that the At
torney General may have semi
friendly purpose in bringing the
suit, Sc Getting the Kellogg Company
as a desirable defendant on which
to test the meaning of the Sherman
law as it applies TO the price main
tenance without contracts and col
fusion.
H X. kellogg is now on his way
to South America and his first in
lmation regarding the suit came from
the New York newspapers a few
hours before he sailed. Mr.. Kellogg
declined to state Just what action
his company will take In the matter
I'LL he knew more about the case and
understood just what the company
is charged with.
