STATE CAPITAL
re Better farm LIFE
ERNOR FORMS TENTATIVE
ORGANIZATION.
Visits Will Be Made To Every Section
Of State To Get In Touch
With the People.

Governor Goldsborough and a ma
jority of the members of the Country
Life Commission recently appointed
by him held a conference here. A
tentative organization was effected
and plans for wrestling with the ques-
tons for the advancement of condi-
tons surrounding the farmer and
country life in general were gone over
Members of the commission present
were William H. Hays, of Montgomery
county, Assistant Secretary of the De
partment of Agriculture, whom the
Governor designated as its chairman;
Messrs. E. Z. Osborne, of Frederick
county; w. Irving Walker, Queen
Anne's county, and Edwin f. Rein
dollar, Carroll county. The other
members, Robert Grain, of Baltimore
city, and who is an extensive land
owner in Charles county, and Jerome
Davis, of Caroline county, were de-
tanned by reason of sickness, and
Henry ], Bowden, of Baltimore city,
also owner of lands in Charles county,
IL out OF the State on business.
Chairman Hays spoke of the objects
of the work to be undertaken by the
commissions and the plans so far as
formulated. He said, among other
things, that one thing already decided
upon is that of dividing the commits
sion into subcommittee to facilitate
the work. There will be four of such
committees, viz: Business methods,
farm home-making, country social life
and a finance committee. The mem
bers Of these committees will not be
selected until the next meeting OF the
commission, which is subject to call of
the chairman.
Mr.. Hays explained that the primary
object of the commissions inquiries
will be TO get the view of the people
concerning agricultural and social con
ditions generally, and later make
recommendations or suggestions to the
Legislature for the betterment Of
things. To accomplish this, he said,
it is the purpose of the committees
to get in close touch with the farmers
and country residents.
Visits will be made to every section
OF the State, and the places and times
Of such visits will be made known in
advance
Good roads will be another subject
to be inquired into generally, as well
as transportation facilities and social
conditions, such as the Young Mems
Christian Association work and other
organized movements in the counties

Murderer.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Charles Ma

Dor, denied permission to Cipriano

la to enter the United States as a
visitor The Venezuelan's unwaver-
ing refusal to answer the question
whether or not while he was Presi-
dent of his country he was a party to
the killing of Gen. Paredez was the
cause of Secretary Nagels order for
his deportation.

BRYAN In CABINET

That Col. E. M. House Carried
Political Message to Miami-can.
not Remember Names Suggested.

Trenton, n. J., Jan. 31.-WilIiam
Jennings Bryan, thrice defeated Dem
ocratic nominee for President, is the
sole choice of President-elect Wilson
for Secretary Of State The Presi-
dent-elect said Byyan's was the only
name of half a dozen candidates for
the portfolio he could think Of Asked
to recall one other name Governor
Wilson thought for a second and said:
Strangely enough l cannot recall
the name of another candidate. But
they are all transferable to other
positions in the Cabinet if necessary.
And | do not think that is of much
consequence.
There is no question, either, that
from the very first Mr.. Bryan has
been the man whom Governor Will
son wished to appoint. 1t is quite
proba able that he had the idea in mind
long before election day
Colonel E. NJ. House of Texas and
New York, with whom Wilson stays
when he visits Manhattan Island, has
gone to Miami, Fla, to see Bryan
The Presidantelect denied, however,
that Colonel House had gone to see
Bryan as an emissary from him with
the formal offer of the Secretaryship
of State.
That Bryan will accept the offer of
the first place in the Cabinet is indi-
Gated by Wilson's confidence in elimi-
mating all the other candidates and his
failure to remember any other name
than that of Bryan. Whether the Ne
braskan has agreed in advance to &C
cept the formal offer of the appoint
ment is uncertain because of Wilson's
reticence.
Mr.. Bryan has made no request for
the appointment nor for fayors of any
kind nor, so far as can be learned,
have his friends. Mr.. Wilson, though,
has asked all the leaders of the party
who have visited him whom they fav-
ored. Most of them have favored
Bryan and have given the Governor
their reasons.
