The Cabinet Makers eusy.


A favorite sport In washington Just
now is the remaking of the Presidents
Cabinet. It seems to be taken for
granted that there will be several
changes in the personnel of Mr.. Will
sons oficia; family after the fourth of
March and speculation has already
marked Messrs McAdoo, Gregory and
Houston as certain to retire from Of
fee.
Mr.. McAdoo is said to contemplate
entering banking in New York, which
city, also. is. reported to have enticed
Mr.. Gregory with a chance to as
sociate himself with a big law firm.
Mr.. Houston is said to be going back
to his place in st. Louis as chancellor
of Washington University, where a
chancellor has been holding down
the job as against his chiefs return.
Mr.. Redfield, too, is thought to have
outlived his usefulness as secretary Of
commerce, though his future is I'M
decided by any gossip now afioat here;
while Josephus Daniels retention as
head of the Navy Department is the
dark secret of life at the capital
The new Cabinet is expected to show
a wider geographic distribution than
the present one, wherein the South
and New York occupy dominating
positions. Mr.. Wilson was the first
President in many years who did not
have New England man at his coun-
Gil table, and it is expected that this
section will now receive recognition.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire, has
been suggested in this connection, and
the fact that his state went for Wilson
gives some force to the idea. But, in
asmuch as New Hampshire has a Re-
publican governor who would name a
Republican successor to Mr.. Hollis in
the case of his translation to the Cabi-
net, it is unlikely that the Granite
State will have such an honor, even
though the Senate still has a Demo-
cratic majority of twelve. President
Harry Garfield of Williams College is
looked upon as much more likely to be
struck by Cabinet lightning if Yam
kee Is to be taken. MIR. Garfield,
though a nominal Republican, sup
ported Mr.. Wilson, whose son in law,
Francis B. Sayre, is Mr.. Garfield's as
sistant and might be in line for pro-
motion to the presidency of the COL
lege in case his superior should get
portfolio. This consideration may not
deter the President from selecting Mr..
Garfield.
Senator Walsh of Montana Is
thought to be probable Cabinet
member as a representative of the
West, and in his case there is no
situation such as initiates against
Senator Hollis. Senator Walsh was in
charge of the Chicago headquarters Of
the Democracy in the campaign and,
like others of the faithful, he doubt
less feels that he should have a re-
ward. Henry Morgenthau, also. is In
the class of deserving Democrats"
who labored in the vineyard during the
recent period of harvesting Demo-
cratic votes. Mr.. Morgenthau is be-
lieved to have some kind of promise
outstanding from the President fol-
lowing his resignation of the Con-
stantinople embassy to take up cam
paign work, and the wise ones look for
him to realize on his expectations.

Daily Stock Letter

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Nov 22.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said further efforts of the pro-
fess1onal cliques to push forward GER
tain issues or groups in today's stock
market did not carry very far. The
and in trying out first this and that
stock, the trading swayed uncertainty
backward and forward n the first
hour or so, after which business be-
came relatively quiet and the general
list sagRed materially, scarcely with
out exception. The motor stocks
were taken up and carried the farth-
est, but the sugar and rubber issues
and a few equipment specialties re-
ceived some attention without much
avail: At midday the market was
selling from point to two points or
more below the Tuesday level and
interest was largely perfunctory.
Trading ebbed and flowed listIessly
and prices ranged from one to three
points or more below the Tuesday
level. There was scant buying ini-
tfative and the supply of stocks was
plentiful. Stop loss orders in the
steel and copper groups and else
where did not help matters. United
States steel lost nearly two points
and moved suggishly around 126
after dropping fractionally below that
level.
There was little change in late
trading, the general list still ruling
heavy.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Nov. "a
Patsy Gonzales, member of the Albu-
|querque re department, was shot four
times and instantly killed at ten thirty
last night by Leopoldo Macon, wealthy
young sheep man of this state.
Trouble between the two men arose
over the divorced wife of Macon. Macon
and his former wife had supper togeth-
er at a downtown restaurant. Return
ing home they were followed by Con
tales and d. j. ArmiJo, assistant CASH
Ter of the First National bank. After
seeing his former wife home, Macon
came out on the street where the two
men were waiting for him Macon says
Doth men advanced toward him and
that Armijo said:
Don't get funny or I'll fix you"
4 Macon then opened fire, killing Con
saies. Armijo was not hurt.
Armijo denies Mazon's statement
and declares he was two blocks away
when the killing took place.
Mrs. Macon was given a divorce and
awarded seventy-tive thousand dollars
aiimony several months ago.

PICTURES AT
Y. M. c. A.
Films From State College Will be
Shown in Association Auditor
ium Free to Public.

On account of the delay in receiv-
ing. the program of movies that was
to have been shown at the Y. NJ. c..
A. last night was postponed and will
be shown tonight. One show will be
given, starting at 1880 o'clock. The
films have been received, so there
will be no disappointment to those
wishing to see the show tonight.
The program is Of unusual interest
this week, consisting of the follow
ing reels:
Heinz 81 Notwithstanding the
methods used in preparing pickles
and other Heinz products, emphasiz-
ing the precise and orderly ways in
which the bottling and inspection is
done.
How Wild Animals Lve-This is a
picture showing small animal life.
Wild Whales-A picture showing
some British beauty spots.
Basket Making by the Passama-
quaddy-The methods Of starting,
weaving and finishing the basket is
shown in detail.
The Y. NJ. C. A. is fortunate in re-
ceiving these films from the extern
university, and for several weeks to
come program will be given every
Tuesday evening.
1t is planned in connection with
these programs to show slides of diff
+ferent features OF Y. M. C. A. work,
which 1t is hoped will be an added
attraction to the public. The shows
will be free and everybody is invited.

entertainment to an enthusiastic audi
enca The entertainment was unique
and interesting. presenting old Eng
lish songs and wearing costumes in
keeping with the period In which the
songs were written.
The style Of composition Of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
was clearly portrayed. the repetition
Of the one phrase being the main
characteristic, these songs we're sung
with good attack, simplicity and clar-
ity Of tone. The entrance song was
effective, the songs Of the seasons in
teresting. as were the old English
motion songs which called for q clever
piece of acting.
In the soprano solo, The Lass With
the Delicate Air, Miss Ferguson dis
played her ability. She possesses a
well trained, sweet soprano voice Of
rare charm; the air is a well known
old English one and is well known to
musicians. Latona, Lovely Maiden, is
an old English madrigal often spoken
of in musical history as a perfect type
of that style Of composition, but is sell
dom heard.

! as her other readings were charming.
Miss Vivette played all the accom-
paniments, her support being quite
! adequate.
| Aside from their sincerity, this
quartette of young singers and their
pianist won their audience by their
wtnsome and delightful personalities.
All the numbers were given with
charm, life and vivacity.
| In the Irish sketch at the close Of
the program, Miss Hazel Easton had
an opportunity to display her ability

senting her part in a very clever
manner. I: was II this that the "Ker-
