Picking q Cabinet
Branded Cruel and
InEa1snsone Sport
PrOUeS to Be Tough job on
Both President-Elect and
Candidates.

MARION, Ohio, Dec 20.--Picking a
Cabinet for a President elect is cruel
and inhumane sport. Proof that it Is
wearing to the President-eiect is evinced
by the tired look on the face Of War
rem G. Harding about 9 80 o'clock each
afternoon and the suppressed groans
with which his STAFF tackles the daily
grist Of mail and List Of visitors.
Also it is tough on the candidates
There is ample evidence at Harding
headquarters that for every person who
recommends a candidate for the Cabinet,
fifty take their pens in hand or their
typewriters in lap and tell the Presi-
dent-elect just why that selection should
not be made. According to the rules
Of Cabinet picking, as now played, an
nouncement that q man Is a Cabinet
possibility should be followed by loud
cries Of call Is discovered" from the
victim.
At least three times each day, some
one picks a Cabinet combination for Sen
ator Harding and announces 1t. Thus
far. however. such a declaration has
lacked authority or tacit confirmation by
Senator Harding. the only man who
could make the selections or authorize
their announcement
So frequently are these alleged authori-
tatlve statements brought to his atten
ton that Senator Harding has evolved q
stock answer.
1t is used regularly every day and is
as follows:
mo Cabinet selections have been made
today"
Undoubtedly Senator Harding has mar
/ rowed down the Cabinet possibilities in
his mind and has arranged a tentative
council table. but even those men who
have been sounded out, 1t is understood
have been approached only In a tenta-
tive way.
Senator Harding has announced that
he expected to hear within the next ten
days q number Of delegations who wished
to urge certain Cabinet selections. IN
til after these hearings, he probably will
withhold any announcements regarding
the positions involved, according TO those
close IN his confidence.
Indication Of the elimination of certain
possibilities, according to many of Sen
ator Harding's close friends, would seem
to make the following the most prob
able selections at present:
Secretary OF State, Charles Evans
| Hughes, or Senator Knox; Secretary of
1 the Treasury, Charles q. Dawes; Sec
! rotary of Labor. Herbert Hoover; Sec
rotary of Navy, Senator Weeks; Post
master General, VIII Il Hays; Attorney
/ General. Harry II, Daugherty; Secretary
/ Of War. Tobias Hirt, Senator New or
( Representative Julius Kahn; Secretary
/ Of Agriculture. Henry Wallace.

ENGLAND MAY
ENTER PACT FARLEY.
Great Britain may enter the Ameri-
ean-JGpsnese treaty negotiations the re-
port continued in diplomatic circles. Ac-
cording to information from a credit
able source Great Britain would make
formal protest should California amend
her anti-alien land ownership measure

erty instead Of aiming the injunction
solely against the japanese.
This was only one OF many sensational
reports current among diplomats regard
ing the American-Ja panese negotiations
Information has been received and was
the subject Of considerable comment that
the United States is considering allowing
the Japanese unrestricted immigration
into the Philippine Islands. This con-
cession, if granted, would be in the ma
ture OF q compromise. Representatives
OF Canada, Australia and New Zealand
are deeply agitsted over the American
Japanese reports.
CONCERNED IN
CALIFORNIA ACTION.
Canada and England are concerned
most strongly over the possibility OF ex-
tending the California land ownership
measure to bar all aliens from owning
land in that State. England Is interested
chiefly in the preservation OF alien
property rights" Canada would use
such action as an argument for the abro-
cation Of the Anglo-Japanese treaty,
Australia and New Zealand are watching
keenly for developments along the line Of
opening up the Philippines for japanese
colonization
If America consents TO allow the Japa-

ious negro gambler and Republican ward
| politician, today WIS under a sentence Of
! thirty days in Jail and fine Of $50 on
charge Of keeping a gambling house,

| Lee was sentenced by Judge James A.
| Collins in Criminal Court late Tuesday

resulted in the case being tried and
argued in bits at time.
John W. Robbins, counsel for Lee,
called the courts attention to the fact

The court is not going to take IN
fair advantage of your client said Judge
Collins. "He is under 5000 bond"
Mr.. Robbins then agreed to argue
points OF law with Deputy Prosecutor
William P. Evans If his client was given
until Friday TO prepare motion for
new trial

TO HIGHER COURT
II want to get n bondsman in here
and I am going to appeal this case to the
/ Supreme Court because l want to pre-

court for final disposition" said Mr..
Robbins.
Lee appealed from City Court, where
he was fined 500 and sentenced to thirty
days In jail. The case was not tried
prior to the elections this fall.
"Goosie' is considered power in the
negro districts and is said to have con-
siderable following which is not to be

I Lees name appears on numerous bonds

( on whose bond Lee was surety, failed to
appear in court.
On the days that "Goesie" has APP
peared in Criminal Court, many negroes

RAID on CLUB.
| The evidence showed that Lee was
president of the Pioneer Club and, al
| though the police testified that dice and
some small change was found during an
early morning raid, Lee testified moth
| ing more serious was going on than a
/ a game of checkers and the peaceful
! sleep of several members of the club.
The police testified that one member Of
the club was so anxious to leave the
building he attempted to jump through
q window.
Lee denied the charges against him
and contended that the Pioneer Club
was law abiding organization and
claimed one Of his duties was to search
members on entering the club for dice
/ and when such articles were discovered
Lee took the dice away from the owners.
