The Good Fellow movement is en-
rolling recruits as rapidly this year
as twelve months ago, but the num-
Der of needy families is increasing
faster than this time year ago.
I here is still a long list of needy
families which the Good Fellows
must take care of, and the sooner the
Good Fellows volunteer the sooner
they will insure a merry Christmas
for themselves as well as for those
who otherwise would face n cherries
and desolate Yuletide.
Today the tabulation division of
the Census Bureau took half a dozen
large families under its wing. Groups
OF Government employees in other de-
partments had from two to four fam
lilies assigned to them. and individual
Government workers took small fam
lilies to care for on Christmas morn
ing. With all. it was n Government
employees day in the Good Fellow
department.
Some of them said they could not
AFFORD to spend "a whole lot OF
money" and they were assured that
"a whole lot Of money" was not nee
essary. All they need to do is to get
into touch with the family assigned
to them, ascertain the needs Of that
family. and try to meet them on
Christmas morning.

HUGHES GAINS
CABINET LEAD
Report From Marion That Law
yer Backs Campaign Foreign
Policy Is Significant.

With the visit of Justice Charles
+. Hughes to Marion and his an
nouncement that the solution OF In"
ternational policy will be in accord
ance with Harding's statements in
the course of the campaign, a re-
vival of the rumor that Hughes will
be the next Secretary Of State has
gained in strength.
HUGHES MAKING MONEY.
That Justice Hughes is among those
who are seriously considered Is well
understood. However, there is a ques-
ton whether Justice Hughes would
be willing to be in the Cabinet In
view of the fact he Is now max ing
enormous fees at his law practice.
In some respects those who are OPP
posed to putting Root in the Cabinet
are pleased to see the recurrt nee OF
the Hughes talk. They would prefer
Hughes to Root.
The statement OF Hughes at Marion
Is taken here to mean that were he
Secretary of State he would be will
ing to work along the lines of forma-
ton OF an association OF nations as
proposed by Harding in his campaign
. speeches. Any insistence on the
league by him would gain him the
opposition of the irreconcilables.
ROOT NOT ABANDONED.
The prevailing idea that Elihu Root
10 out of consideration for the Cabinet
is said on good authority not to be
entirely correct. The recent long talk
between Senator Fall and Root Is
viewed in some quarters as having
for it's object better understanding
OF the views OF Root on international
questions for the benefit of both
Harding and the irreconcilables.
In other words, there Is said to be
an effort on the part OF those friendly
to Root to dissipate the idea that II
he were Secretary of State he would
try to thrust the United States into
the league The irreconcilables have
opposed Root on this ground.
In sources close to Harding it Is
said that there is likely to be a strong
revival of the movement for Root.
and that he must not he considered
out Of it. The talk Of Senator knGN
for the premiership is still upper
most.
Other Cabinet gossip today varies
little from that which has prevailed
for some days. 1t may be said. how
ever. that some of the friends OF
Governor Lowden are showing a
strong disposition to have him put
into the Cabinet. and are urging him
on Senator Harding. That Governor
Lowden is not anxious to enter the
Cabinet and would prefer the Paris
or London post is generally UNDER
stood.
LABOR BOOSTING NOLAN.
In organized labor circles there is
much talk about the Secretaryship
for Labor. Congressman Nolan bf
California is said to be in the lead.
William Hutchinson, OF Indiana, head
of the carpenters international union,
is being strongly backed.
An interesting phase of this is that
Nolan is looked on as friendly to
Gompers and Hutchinson is regarded
as an anti-Gompers man. Nolan has
the support of Senator Hiram John
son of California, VINO is not only
friendly to him on old-time personal
and political grounds, but who sees
in the nomination of Nolan q chance
to help head off Hoover. If Hoove.
went into the Cabinet he would be
credited TO California and this would
displeasc Senator Johnson.

NEW POLICY &
WITH LAT|NS
Harding Will Lead in Serious
Attempt to Regain Their
Friendship by Trade.
by DAVID N. CHURCH.


Sweeping changes in the policy Of
the United States toward Latin
America, when President-elect Hard
ing takes office, were predicted to
day by members of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, some OF
whom recently conferred with the
President-elect upon his return from
Panama.
DUE FOR CLOSE STUDY.
Close attention to relations with
Central and South America is expects
ed during the next administration by
members Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee.
81 think there will be a change o.
policy during the Harding admins
tration with regard to Latin-Americs,
declared Senator Moses, Of Nev
Hampshire. a member OF the Senatc
Foreign Relations committee, today.
81 believe President HardinB
and the next Congress are going -
strive TO gain the friendship OF these
countries. which appears to have been
lost"
Although the President-elect we
greeted with the utmost cordialit,
during his recent trip into Central
America, he learned there is an un
dcrlying animOsity toward the United
states in the Latln-Amcrican coun-
tries.
Complete misunderstanding by The
Latin.Americsn countries Of the att
tude of the United States has led to 4"
distrust Of this nation. according L.
reports which reached the President
elect. II was even reported in Latin
American circles that the Latin-Au-
erican Federation. recently conceive
in Costa Eica, had its birth as a meas
ure Of protection against any possib
aggression from the United States.
TO TIGHTEN TRADE LINKS.
President-clect Harding is not G.
pectcd TO seek immediate revision
existing treaties with these coul
tries. but instead it Is believed
will attempt to win the friendship O.
these nations through the channels @,
commerce. The President-elcct it i.
known, is DESTROYS that the United
States establish closer commercial re.
lations with these countries. He re-
peatedly stated during his Sou hern
visit that he preferred a commercil
friendship to treaties.
Foreign interests are developinL
their trade in the Latina nericas an
IL is known Senator Harding believes
this field should be developed by the
United States. and he is expected TO
use every effort to increase the com
merce between AmeriC an ports and the
Caribbean ports, thereby establishing
close friendship with the Latin-AmcI
lean nations and winning their conf.
dence and friendship.

STAND IN WAY OF BUSINESS
Historic London Churches May Have to Give Way to the Demands of
 Modern Progress.

Nineteen historic city churches in the heart of London, 13 of them the work of Sir Christopher Wren, have been marked for destruction by con- mission appointed by the bishop of London to consider the whole ques- tfon of the city churches. In seven cases 1t is proposed to preserve, for their architectural and historic value, the towers of the churches. In the other cases these old monuments. dating back to the seventeenth century and the great fire of London, would disappear.
 This Is the recommendation of the bishops commission, but already strong protests have arisen and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings has announced that it will take every possible step in making the strongest protest.
 The value of the sites of these churches is placed at nearly S8.5OO,- OOO,OOO. situated as they are in the great business center of London, be- tween St. Pauls and the Tower and a little to the north of that line. In ad- dlt1on to this enormous return from the church property the commission expects to realize an income of $12O,- ooO year from the benef1ces after setting aside $81,OOO a year for the salaries of certain of the clergy con- cerned. For the site of single church, that of All Hallows, Lombard street, Barclays hank has offorod 60 5OO,OOO, and the value of the site of St. Dunstan's-in-the-East has been esti- mated at $1,25O,OOO.

"DeadWood Dick" English Born.

Richard Bullock, known as Dead wood Dick" was born at Cornwall, England, some eighty years ago. At the age of twenty-one he came to America and at length drifted to the West. For a while he worked in the mines in the Black Hill country. At that time miners there were greatly discouraged and vexed by the unusual activity of bandits. Desperadoes op- erating individually and in groups were holding up stages running be- tween the mining country and the settlements in the East with such reg ularity that chances of getting their gold shipments through were slim.
 Bullock saw in this situation an op- portunity to do the miners a good turn and himself. too, to earn a good live llhood and to enjoy no end of thrills and adventures. So he laid away his pick and shovel, armed himself with a wicked-looking gun and embarked in the business of hunting road agents"
