Washington. FEB. III rankin
X. Lane. Secretary Of the Interior,
was regarded in Washington to-
night as the most likely successor TO
Lindley VI. Garrison as Secretary Of
War. His appointment is not as
sured. but it was learned that his
rame was being seriously considered
by the President A host of other
names have been forced TO the atten-
ton of President Wilson, but from
the White House comes the informa-
tion that only two names are being
seriously considered, and that one
of these is that Of Mr.. Lane.
The President left tonight for a
weekend cruise on the Mayfower,
during which he is expected to make
I'D his mind as to Mr.. Garrison's
successor. Mrs. Wilson accompanied
the President. They will return to
Washington Monday.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Lane
would accept the post if it should be
offered TO him. To friend recently,
when it was believed that Secretary
Garrison might be named TO the Su-
preme bench. and the suggestion was
made that Mr.. Lane be shifted 10
the War portfolio. Mr.. Lane re-
marked that any post the President
might assign him 10 would be salts
factory to him.
Lane Strong for Defence.
Mr. Lane has been q strong advo-
cate Of preparedness. but It Is un-
derstood that he has no positive con-
victions about plans that would clash
with any compromise the President
might wish to make with the militia
advocates in Congress. Incidentally,
Mr.. Lane. while second in independ-
ence only to Mr.. Garrison in the Cab
met. has always shown himself TO be
much more tractable than the Secre-
tar of War in submerging his own
views when they differed from those
of the President or from those the
President might acquire.
IN some quarters usually well IN
forred. there was belief tonight
that General George ". Goethsls. the
builder Of the Panama Canal. would be
named TO succeed Mr.. Garrison. Cen
oral Goethals has been in Washington
creat deal lately. testifying before
Congressional committees. but he could
not be located tonight.
II vas pointed out however, that II
js customary 20 appoint a civilian as
Secretary Of War. and consequently u
i doubtful II the President would be
willing 70 make such concession 10
tho "nilitarists" az 20 appoint sol
der 70 this post.
Secretary Houston Of the Depart
meut Of Agriculture and Frank !. PolS'
Counsellor OF the State Department,
were said 10 be under serious consid-
Grafton. The names Of twenty or more
other men have been suggested 20 the
President. These include Ex-Governor
Harmon of Ohio. Colonel +. NJ. House

ex-Niayor Baker Of Cleveland. Senator
stone. OF Missouri; Senator Chamber
lain. chairman OF the Senate Military

FINE STRAWBERRIES
 GROWN AT HOME

Little Miss Jessie McNairy yesterday presented The Jour nal with a box of the finest strawberries We ever saw. Tn, berries were grown by her ia ther on his place near town and afford a splendid example of what can be done here in growing strawberries. They are larger and better favored than the berries shipped from Judsonia or any other place.
 The farmers of this commu- nity are certainly negleeting a golden opportunity in not talk ing up the culture of berries.

STATE WILL SOON
 BE ON CASH BASIS

Little Rock. May 3.-War- rants on the states general revenue fund, selling for as low as 94 cents on the dollar last fall, now are bringing 98 cents and, in isolated instances, 99 cents. By the latter part of next month it is probable that warrants will not be obtainable for less than par as in July and August settlements by collec- ors, it is believed, will take up all the outstanding warrants and place a small balance of cash in the treasury.

Officers Arrest Gypsies atHox- and Recover Money Stolen From Bank at Alicia.

Hoxie, May 1.-Six hundred and eight dollars, stolen by a gypsy girl and two womenfrom the Farmers Bank at Alicia Wednesday, was recovered here Saturday bySheriff Owens when he arrested a band of gypsies, among which were the three suspected of the theft.
 The gypsies denied that any of their band took the money but when told that they would be held until the October term of court they offered to return to the sheriff the amount stol- en if he would release them. He accepted and made them sign an agreement to never re- turn to Lawrence county.
 The two women and an eight year old girl entered the bank, and while the women talked to the cashier the child slipped into the cage and took the mon- ey. She ran outside, gave it to a man on horseback, and he raced away.
 Similar attempts were made by gypsies in a bank and in store in Stuttgart, butthey were caught and ordered to leave.
