DEMOCRAT WILL
SUCCEED GARRISON
ON THE CABINET

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE sue
cossor TO Secretary OF War Garrison,
resigned. will be a democrat, and
his name will be announced within q
day. II was learned at the White
House today,
A dark horse" Ia likely TO be the
persldent's choice. Those closest to
tho president said that the persons
most prominently mentioned thus far
would not get the appointment. Pre-
sIdent Wilson has decided that neces-
alty, both political and legislative. re-
quires prompt flling OF tho post.
Among those mentioned as possi-
bilities are: Secretary OF tho Interior
Lane; Henry NJ. Pindell. OF Peoria.
Ill.,. once named as ambassador to
Russia, but not appointed: Chair
man Sherloy OF the house fortIflca-
tlons committee; Ex-Governor Walsh
OF Massachusetts; Ex-Governor Har-
mon OF Ohio: Ex-Governor Adams OF
Colorado.
One report said that Lane would
get the war portfolio and Adams or
Joseph Teal. Portland attorney,
would succeed Lane. A white House
authority. however. indicated that
Lane win not be picked. and at the
same time II was learned that Gen
erai Goethals would not be chosen.
Moreover. Pindell is unlikely to get
the place, as there Is some question
as to his regularity" in view 'of the
fact that he twice bolted Bryan when
the latter was presidential candi-
date.
Congressman Sherley. though deny
Ing knowledge Of any consideration
OF himself as Garrison's successor, is
well equipped for the Job as he has
been In charge OF the artillery and
fortiacations appropriations for years.

(By United Press Leased Wire.l
New York, Feb. 11.-Colonel
Roosevelt sailed out today for the
West Indies for six-weeks' pleasure
tour.
Though he would not comment on
the resignation of Secretary Garri-
son, he had this to say Of the Lusi-
tania settlement:
"If a man SLABS your wife's face
and you do nothing about it for nine
months, then it is Of no consequence
what you do afterward."
AS ne said 1t he bit off his words
and pounded the air with his fists.
Then he smiled. for little Marjorie
Sterrett, OF Brooklyn, organizer Of a
move to build battleship with chill
dren's contributions. was on hand to
see him off.
"Three cheers for you Marjorie,
and three each from my four grand
children" he said to her. II am de-
lighted to see you. want YOU to
understand that the battleships and
the grandchildren so together. We
need the ships to protect the grand
children"
He had previously contributed
money to Marjorie for himself. his
grandchildren and grandchildren yet
unborn"

on Garrison II he insisted on his re-
naming In the cabinet.
The two designations we're decided
on suddenly, for an hour before Gar
rison was scheduled to speak before
the chamber OF commerce Il was an
nounced that advance copies OF the
speech would be given out as soon as
the stenographer transcribed the Sec
retary's notes, The secretary, II was
said, had tried to conform to the pre-
sident's wishes In the matter OF ex-
pressing his personal views. The re-
slgnation, however, was offered, and
Garrison and his wife left for New
York after cancelling the speaking
engagement.
The speech was being given to re-
porters when an employe was called
into Garrlson's Office, and q moment
afterward dashed out and held up
the speech During the hours wait
for the copy Garrison and Brecken-
ridge conferred and then Il was am
nounced the secretary had suddenly
been called out Of town.

OF SMOKING MOUNTAIN

Santa Monica, CAL, Feb. 11.-Mov-
ing picture folks from Inceville went
to Topango canyon today to "inves-
tigate" the smoking mountain there
and find out whether 1t is a volcano.
They carried with them enough dyna-
mite to blow the side out Of the hill,
II necessary, dig down into It's In
terror and ascertain where all the
smoke and fire is coming from. Some
hold the disturbance is merely super
ficial, resulting from a combination OF
sulphuric gases. After smoking for
a while yesterday, Inceville employees
declare heavy explosion occurred in
side the mountain, ripping loose tons
OF rock and earth, Immediately
flames shot upward, igniting the
brush on the hillside.
The mystery mountain was in erup-
tion about a year ago. but has been
very quiet and doelle ever since. +

With the English Battle Cruiser
Squadron, Somewhere in the North

feet scout ships and host of mos
quito craft formed in constant battle
line here, are headed out to sea,
ready for instantaneous response
when the wireless snaps:
The German fleet is coming out
OF It's refuge in the Kiel canal"
Through the courtesy of the ad-
miralty l was enabled to spend the
day abeard the giant battle cruiser
Tiger and the smaller cruiser New
Zealand. The Tiger is not only larger
than any dreadnaught America has
but she has the great speed of 80
knots.
The Germans still believe the Tiger

year ago, British and German craft
clashed; and Zeppelin reported

Friction with Chairman Hay

Garrison, too. objected to the plan
yof Chairman Hay OF the house mill
vary committee, whereby the militia
would be federallzed.
This scheme he suggested to be
"mockery," while at the same time
declaring that most OF the members
OF congress did not have the vital
interest In military affairs required
for proper consideration thereof,
Breckenridge's retirement follow
ed Garrison's as u matter of loyalty,
feeling he entertained the same views
OF the continental army plan as did
Garrison.
Everywhere today officials express
cd surprise at Garrison's course. He
was generally popular, both from an
official and a personal standpoint,
and his retirement, therefore, shock
ed many here.
Yesterday the secretary sent his
resignation, saying II was manifestly
improper for him to continue when
there was such difference between
him and the president on "funda-
mental principles"
President Surprised
The president expressed "very
great surprise when he accepted the
resignation, but said he felt he would

TWO RIVERS
FLOODING
PORTLAND
Willamette and Columbia Are
Rising Rapidly, and Houses
Along Water Front Are in
Danger Of Being Flooded

Portland, Feb. 11.--Floods threat
ened Portland on two sides today.
The upper Columbia river was rising
rapidly, the crest of the Willamette
river food had not yet arrived, and
more high water was reported from
the headwaters OF the Willamette,
where heavy rains have swollen tribu-
tary streams.
The government weather bureau
was not optimistic regarding the food
situation today. When the Colum-
bia rises a few feet more the waters
of the Willamette will be backed up.
Rising water from the upper Will
lamette and its tributaries may put
the water front streets Of Portland
under water.
Between Albany and Oregon City
the river was falling rapidly. Above
Albany new floods were reported. and
the crest Of the first food had not
reached Portland today.
Armed men patrolled small dixie
in the southeast section OF the city
last night because persons threatened
to dynamite the dam to remove the
waters from their gardens. II the
dam had been released the village of
Lents would have been covered with
seven feet Of water.
Over 5000 acres Of land In this
section are flooded by backwater.
The Dalles, Feb. 1.-THE Colum-
bia river rose SM feet during the
night, and was still rising at an
alarming rate this morning. The
channel Is filled with ice. An i'm
mense jam of ice at Big Eddy went
out.

tary Of war for q period not to exceed

With Scott lilllng the place vacated

successor will DO man OF great
ability.
This man win be appointed within
n day: he Is likely to be dark

though a crop Of possibilities were
mentioned In official quarters,
Meantime. II Is even more certain
that congress VIII pass the militia

same thing.

Why Garrison Resigned

Though there had been rumors
that Garrison intended 20 quit be-
cause OF tho apparent failure OF the
continental army plan he advocated,
the immediate cause OF his resigna-
tion is believed 10 ibo the following
note from tho president regarding
the speech tho secretary was sche-
duled to make last night before the
chamber of commerce OF the United
States:
you should feel no hesitation
about expressing your personal views
on both subjects preparedness and
Philippine indepcndence). but | hope
you will be kind enough to draw very
carefully the distinction between your
individual views and those OF the ad-
ministratlon.
Correspondence between the presl-
dent and Garrison revealed that the
president was not 'irrevocably" CON-
mltted to the continental army plan.
Garrison. on the other hand. insisted
that this was the only means OF pro-
vlding proper defense At the same
time, he was opposed to the Clarke
amendment to the Philippine bill,
whereby independence would be
granted the island In two to four
years
