BAKER MAY GET
NEW PORTFOLIO
Rumors at Washington That He May
Be Attorney General and Cocktails
Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Rumors
persist that Cabinet changes are in pros
pect despite reported dcnials from the
White House Particular point is given
10 them III this time in view of the
probability Of war. The latest rumor
revived concerns the possibility of At
tornev General Gregory's retirement to
resume the practice Of law. Coupled
with the Gregory report is gossip that
Newton d. Baker, secretary of war, will
be appointed attorney general.
The presence here of Major General
George w. Gocthals. the builder of the
Panama canal, has suggested that he
might be chosen for the war portfolio,
hut this in inconsistent with the un
Outstanding that the President would
not be inclined TO appoint an officer Of
the regular army to a cabinet post.
General Goethals is chairman of the
commission appointed under the Adam
son law to investigate tho worfine of
the eight hour day for railroad train
men. II was said tonight that while
nothing was known of any intention to
give General Cocktails any new Office
under the federal government, il was
more probable, in the event of his lie
| ing relieved from the eight hour com
mission, he would be sent back to the
| iSthmus to make arrangements for safe
guarding the canal from attack.
Another suggestion heard in Wash
ingtoI but which lacks any authorize
| tive confirmation, is that if there is q
change in the war department Franklin
H. Lane, secretary Of the interior
might be appointed to succeed Secre-
tary Baker.

How the Chaplin Walk Originated.

1.-THE Queen S Head was a pub
There was a cab stand near by and an
old character they called Rummy'
Binks was one of the landmarks. He
had dubious nose, a crippled, rheu-
matte body, swollen and distorted
pair of feet, and The most extraordi-
nary pair Of trousers I ever saw. He
must have got them from a giant, and
he was q little man.
"When l saw Rummy shuttle his
way across the pavement to hold a
cabman s horse for a penny tip, was
fascinated. The walk was so funny to
me that l initiated it. When | showed
my mother how Rummy walked, she
begged me to stop because it was
cruel to initiate misfortune like that
But while she pleaded she had her
apron stuffed into her mouth. Then she
went into the pantry and giggled for
ten minutes.

Give $1,000, 100000 to Francel

What would George Washington say
if he could read the terms of the new
French loan that has been negotiated
in Wall street? What would Thomas
jefferson say? What would Benjamin
Franklin say!
IN order to obtain 500 100000 France,
in the hour OF her extremity, is com
PEELED to pay more than per cent in
terest, and to deposit $l2O,00O00 in
stocks and bonds as collateral In adj
dition, the holders of the notes have
the option of collecting their debts in
francs at the rate of 5.75 francs to the
dollar, this being about 10 per cent
below mint parity, according to the
that much additional load upon the
French people.
| In the darkest days of the American
/ Revolution, when the colonies had
neither security nor credit, France
loaned money to the United States at
; per cent, and then cancelled the in
tercst for the whole period Of the war
as "a new proof Of affection and
| friendship. Yet we are imposing
| pawnbrokcr s terms upon the French
| and squeezing the last possible penny
tfrom 4 sister republic that fiust have
| money or perish.
! When Congress couvcnes ana sor-
malIv recognizes the existence nt a
state OF war between the United
States and Germany, the first military
measure of this government should be
to make provision for the financial as
sistancc OF France. This is impera-
tive. We owe it not ollv to the cause
for which we shall b. lighting but to
alt the traditions of the Nation
The United States ought to give
France $1,000, 100000 without . day 5
unnecessary delay-not as q loan but
rs a gift-as "a new proof of affec-
ton and friendship. We can well af-
ford to do it, and it would be the most
effective war measure that could be
adopted. \ gift of $1,000. 100000 to
France would exactly equal the indcm
nifty imposed by Prussia upon the
French people i'll 1871, and the know
ledge of such a gift would exert q
greater moral influence in Germany
than any army we could recruit or any
other policy Of resistance to German
ruthlessn1sS that we could adopt.
We cannot be effective in this wal
except as we aid the allies and the
way to aid the allies is first to put
our vast financial and economic re
sources at their disposal. That woplt

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March &c. -
The sinking Of the British steamer
Esmeraldas by the German commerce
raider Moewe, news of which was first
received here yesterday by representa-
tives of the British government and Of
ficially confirmed in despatch from
Berlin, will furnish the American gov
eminent a problem similar to that pre-
secuted by the Garrowdalc case.
There were 81 Americans on the Es-
meraldas when she was captured and
sunk, and these were taken to Germany
on the Moewc. The men, all of whom
were employed as foremen or hostlers,
were signed up at Newport News. The
Esmcraldas left here Jan. 2S with 4 fun
cargo of live stock and sailed for the
other side six weeks ago 1t is pre-.
sumed here that she was among the last
prizes taken by the Moewe before the
commerce destroyer made for home.

MINING NEWS OF
PEARL
lSnecial Correspondencel


The mines are still trying TO find
ore. Some good veins have been
crossed. The Hecla Basque have no
ore in place of any size and do not
seem to be able to find it. These
parties are looking for the Chockmate
ledge in a break made by a gulch.
Every little draw in the camp makes
a break in all the lodges as far down
as any shaft has been sunk here.
These people are down only $50 feet
and the shaft is at the meeting of two
big draws. In all the workings below
the formation is badly broken with
nothing in place. 1t is rumored that
these people are going to sink the
shaft further
The Idaho Consolidated seem to be
having considerable trouble with keep
ing men. They are drifting in the
foot wall and prosecuting every 20
feet to the ledge. The ledge is swell
ing the ground and to make the tim
bers stand they are working in the
foot. This is surely a mine if we
have one in the camp and we all want
to see it go. They are working crew
of Is men.
The Granite State are retimber-
ing their tunnel preparatory to doing
considerable work They are having
considerable trouble getting in lum-
Der for the work We are glad to see
these people get to work again and
hope they get the big ledge soon.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains. simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older. keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scots.
