CABINET PLANS.
TAKING SHAPE.
Generally Accepted Knox and
Former Senator Weeks Will
b Get BerthS.

Although President-elect Harding
departed Washington denying that
any Of the Cabinet posts had yet
been promised. it is nevertheless a
fact that the Cabinet talk in the best
informed quarters in Washington has
1 become much more definite since his
visit and his conference with Sen
ate and House leaders. with Rational
Chairman Hays and other leaders Of
the party.
NOT DEFINITELY COMMITTED.
1t is understood TO be accurate TO
say that the President-elect is not
absolutely committed as to any OF
the Cabinet selections. On the other
hand, those that have consulted him
have little doubt as TO what will
eventually be done as to certain Of
the positions at his disposal.
One thing which has become much
more definite than before Is tina.
former Senator John w. Weeks OF
, Massachusetts, will be In the Cabi-
net. Senator Weeks and Senator
! Harding are old friends and the
, former was active in the campaign.
Senator Weeks conferred with Mr..
Harding this week and there Is no
doubt the Massachusetts leader can
and viii have a place in the Cabi-
! net
MAY GET TREASURY.
Close friends of Senator Weeks say
he will get the Treasury post. On
the other hand, there is also talk OF
plan to make him Secretary Of
Commerce and to put a Western man
into the Treasury. The particular
| Western man who is most strongly
supported for the Treasury is George
M. Reynolds, formerly of Iowa. now
of Chicago. one of the ablest of the
Western bankers.
Senator Weeks could have the Navy
post IL he desired it. but inasmuch as
he is himself a graduate of the Naval
academy and many OF his old class
mates are now high on the list Of Of
Ulcers. 1t would be more or less en-
barrassing for him to head the Navy
Department. That he is competent
for the place and would make an ef-
fcient head of this department Is not
doubt ed, inasmuch as he has studied
the navy both from the professional
side and from the side of a lawmaker
and a civilian.
STATE BERTH STILL IN DOUBT.
The selection of the Secretary of
State has not clarified greatly. 1t
still remains true that Senator Knox
is the choice of a large number of
Mr.. Harding's friends and that Sena-
tor Knox may be Impressed into the
position. He does not seek It, but
would take it as a matter of public
duty.
Certain of the Senate leaders don't
/ want Mr. Knox to enter the Cabinet
They believe he is needed in the SEN
ate through the reconstruction period
and especially in this trying time
in international affairs.
David Jayne Hill continues to be
the most probable selection If Mr..
Knox is not chosen.
Senator Fall of New Mexico is also
talked of for Secretary Of State. This
is not believed probable. Senator
Fall, his friends say. is needed in the
Senate.

To shop now means to save money be-
cause many merchants have made
their fall reductions in prices and,
therefore, early Christmas purchasers
may now avail themselves Of these
reductions in the selection of articles

SUTHERLAND NOT PROBABLE.

Former Senator Sutherland, who
talked with Mr.. Harding here. Is still
freely talked of either for the Attor-
ney Generalship or for Secretary Of
Interior. However, Senator Suther-
land is said not anxious to enter the
Cabinet. He has a fine law practice
and it would be a financial sacrifice
to him. That he will eventually be
named for the Supreme Court by Mr..
Harding is probable.
National Chairman Hays can enter
the Cabinet if he so desires. He is
mentioned for Postmaster General
and also for Attorney General.
Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio, per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Harding, is an
other man who can have a Cabinet
place and he is mentioned for two
or three different positions including
that of Postmaster General.

OF for the Cabinet is former Senator

bench by Justice Ashley NJ. Gould
OF the District Supreme Court.
EXCUSES DON'T co.
Many or the talesmen summoned
to Justice Gould's court for jury SER
vice asked TO be excused on the
ground that they had not done their
Yuletide buying. Justice Gould has
ruled that this il not a justihsble
reason for relieving the talesmen
from jury service since they have had
ample opportunity TO do their Christ
mas buying and will still have few
days left to make purchases before
being called to the jury box.
Besides Justice Gould's ruling there
are a number OF other valid reason
for doing the Yuletide shopping early.
Tho streets are already beginning to
show marked signs of congestion and
the stores are fast filling with crowds.
Next week the condition VIII be
worse. There are only seventeen
more days before Christmas. and only
fourteen OF them shopping days.
Washington merchants say they are
still able TO offer "a reasonably wide
range OF selection and urge prospt c.
tive shoppers to do their buying this
week.
