completed only at the last moment,
was announced at the Shoreham no
tel by Joseph p. Tumulty, who today
became secretary 10 the president of
the United States. AS given out by
Mr. Tumulty IL is as follows:
SECRETARY OF STATE-WiIIiam
J. Bryan of Nebraska.
SECRETARY OF WAR-LindIey
Garrison Of New Jersey.
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
Josephus Daniels Of North Carolina.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
William G. McAdoo of New York.

s. BurIeson Of Texas.
SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
William c. Redfeld of New York.
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
Davis S. Houston of Missouri.
SECRETARY OF UABOR-WiIliam
3. Wilson of Pennsylvania.
The announcement ended the
agonies OF the Washington branch of
the cabinet makers union. which has
been trying TO find an official family
for the president-elect and suitable TO
themselves.
List Not Officially Confirmed.
There is no reason TO doubt the &C.
curacy of the list. though it has not
received the personal confirmation OF
the president-elect. When he was
asked about the matter he replied that
he would not send his selections to the
senate today, as originally projected.
and that this would constitute the only
announcement he would make regard
ing his cabinet
The names of three OF the men in
the list given out by Mr.. Tumulty had
not heretofore been heard Of in con-
nection with cabinet places. These
were those Of Franklin X. Lane, a
present commissioner OF interstate
commerce; David S. Hueston. an agri-
culture president Of Missouri. and
Lindley Garrison, vice-chancellor OF
the New Jersey judiciary.
Lane Not a Politician.
But it has developed that the three
men have been on the mental slate OF
the president-elect for three weeks and
that not even his most intimate
friends knew of it. Mr. Lane seems
to have attracted the attention Of the
president by his work in the interstate
commerce commission in handling rail
road problems. Lane has never been
conspicuous in partisan politics,
though he is a Democrat.
Chancellor Garrison ranks high in
the judicial organization OF the home
state of the president-elect. He is a
personal friend of Mr. Wilson. who
holds him in splendid regard.
The name of Professor Hueston
seems to have occupied q prominent
place in the cabinet calculations of
Mr.. Wilson for about two weeks. He
had previously considered the names
Of half a dozen men for it. These In
cluded jeremiah Sullivan of Iowa.
Fred Lynch Of Minnesota, Professor
Dabney Of Ohio and Governor Norris
of Montana. Early last week Mr. Will
son made the formal tender of the of

lessor Hueston. His answer in the
form of acceptance was not received
until last Saturday.

London, Jan. l6.--In the House of
Commons Premier Asquith yesterday
afternoon moved the third reading q
the. Irish Home Rule bill The reading
is preliminary step to two days
general debate, which will bring the
measure up for final vote late tonight.
Former Premier Balfour at once
moved the rejection of the bill. He de-
clared that the governments normal ma
jority was worthless and was obtained
by duping the various factions. He as
serted that the alleged rights given to
ireland under the bill really would ac-
conplish more good for the fiscal inter-
ests in the United Kingdom than for the
Irish people.
Mr.. Balfour further declared that the
government is dangerously ignorant of
listers feelings in the matter of home
rule, and that if blood should be spilled
the real assassins would be those VINO
did not have the courage to face the
situation.
In reply Premier Asquith declared that

will of the great majority would be
fatal to the Democratic form OF gov

Perkins considered il menace to tho
country's prosperity"
Perkins intimated that after concen
tration had reached a certain point il
should be subject to government regu
lation, but refused to answer the hypo
thetical question.
After the hearing, the committee de-
cided to have Chairman JULIO and Coun'
sci Untermyer visit William Rockefel.
Ter and take his testimony, following
testimony of the physicians, who ex'
amined Rockefeller and reported he
could submit to brief examination
without immediate serious results.
DIR. c. w. Richardson who made a
medical examination of William Rookie
Teller, was the first called to the stand
yesterday.
Doctor Richardson testified that in his
opinion William Rockefeller would be
able to testify for an hour or two.
He added, however, that were he Mr..
Rockefeller's physician he would en-
deavor to protect him against such a
strain. Chairman Puio announced the
committee would decide later whether to
insist on the testimony.
Doctor Richardson said that he ex-
amined Mr. Rockefeller at Miami, Fla,
on Sunday, Jan IL, that no one else was
present and that he spent an hour with
him.
The affidavit presented by Doctor
Chappell, Mr.. Roekefeller's physician,

serious than would be supposed from

that the right vocal chord of the oil
magnate was practically gone and that
the left was badly affected. He said
he found Mr.. Rockefeller's pulse 100 and
his blood pressure l62. A writing test

continued effort, could write only III
words in two and one half minutes. He
said he found a condition of what is
usually called shaking palsy which
made an examination by writing prac-
teal impossibility.
