Washington, March 6.-By vote of
IS to IA the senate on Friday tabled
every resolution in the senate seeking
to interfere in any way with President
Wilson's conduct of foreign affairs.
1t was said at the White House
that the result in the senate was sat
isfactory and met the wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson.
At the last moment, when driven
into a corner and threatened with
defeat on the main issue fully as
heavily as that administered to his
substitute, Senator Gore sought to
obscure the issue with an amendment,
declaring that any sinking Of an
armed ship without warning should
be regarded as an act of war by Ger
many.
While this amendment enabled Sen
ator Gore and those of his persua-
sion to vote to table the resolution,

new WAR SECRETARY
PRESIDENT APPOINTS NJ. D. BA'
kER OF CLEVELAND TO SUC-
CEED GARRISON.
CLOSE FRIEND OF WILSON
Lawyer Was Pupil of Executive and
Follower of Tom Johnson-Former
Mayor Accepts Post in the
Cabinet.

Washington, March 8.-Newton D..
Baker, former mayor Of Cleveland,
has been selected by President Wilson
as secretary of war to succeed Lindley
M. Garrison.
Mr.. Baker was a follower of Mayor
Tom Johnson of Cleveland when the
latter was in the height of his power.
He was subsequently elected mayor
himself. He recently declined to run
again. Mr.. Baker was a Wilson sup
porter in the Democratic convention
at Baltimore and is understood to
have declined appointment as secre-
tary of the interior three years ago.
Mr.. Baker has accepted the position
and is arranging his affairs in CleVe-
land preparatory to coming to Wash
ington to take up his duties.
The president and Mr.. Baker have
been close friends for some time and
have corresponded frequently. Mr..
Baker is said by his friends to be in
close sympathy with the presidents
policies and is known to have had the
support of several members of the
cabinet for the war Office.
Mr.. Baker is forty-four years old.
He was born at Martinsburg. W. Va,
and at the age of twenty-five was ap-
pointed private secretary to Postmas-
ter General Wilson in President Cleve-
lands cabinet In 1897 he began the
practice of law at Martinsburg, but
not long thereafter moved to Cleve-
land, where he became city solicitor
in 1902. He held this Office for ten
years until his election as mayor
after the death of Tom L. Johnson.
In 1914 he was reelected mayor for
a two-year term. Mr.. Baker in July,
1902, married Miss Elizabeth Leopold
of POttsdam, Pa.
Mr. Baker has received degrees
from Johns Hopkins and Washington
and Lee universities.
At the time of the Baltimore conven-
tion when President Wilson was NOM
mated Mr.. Baker was prominently
mentioned for the vice-presidency be-
cause of the fight he made in support
of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Baker has been known for years
as a leader of the Ohio bar and is
highly regarded by the president as
a lawyer.

LUMBER CUT MAY BE SHORT
Heavy Shows and Approaching Warm
Weather Indicates Decrease
in Production.

Grand Rapids. a banner
season in the lumber industry was re-
Gently predicted, the present indica-
tons are that the cut will fall con-
siderably short of the amount esti-
mated, owing to the heavy snow falls
experienced in northern Wisconsin
recently. The indications are that
they will have to break camps within
the next few weeks, as the warm
weather will soften the snow and
cause water enough to make it i'm
possible for the men to work. With
the market still brisk this shortage
may mean serious thing to the
builders before the next seasons cut
is harvested.
