HARDING HAS NOT
MADE SELECTIONS .
FOR HIS CABINET
Weeks, Daugherty and Hays
Prominently Mentioned
TALKS WITH PARTY MEN
President.Eleet Declares He Has
Reached No Conclusion and Re-
fuses All information.

Washington, Dec. 6-Speculation
about the possible administration was
cast into more definite lines today
by consultations between President
elect Harding and leaders of his par
ty in and out of Congress.
Three names which stood in the
foreground tonight among the many
discussed as possible cabinet members
were those Of John w. Weeks of Mas
sachusetts for secretary Of the navy;
VIII II. Hays OF Indiana, the republi-
can national chairman, for postmaster
general; and Harry NJ. Daugherty of
Ohio. the Harding pre- convention
manager, for attorneys general.
Prominence also was given by the
day conference to the possible Sc
lection OF David Jayne Hill of New
York, former ambassador to Germany
as secretary Of state, although such
leaders as Char es Evans Hughes,
Elihu Root, Senator Philander c.
Knox Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
Senator A. B. Fall and others still
were prominently mentioned for the
portfolio in some quarters.
Regarding the other places in the
new official family gossip was less
definite. and the list Of possibilities
was widened rather than narrowed by
the days developments.
That no formal offers had been made
was emphasized by Mr.. Harding him
self tonight, as the only comment he
was willing to make on reported sell
ectlons or on his discussion Of the sub
ject with republican leaders.
Another close friend of the presi-
dentelect who took part in the con
ferences was former Senator George
Sutherland of Utah. Heretofore his
name also has been associated with
cabinet gossip, but today the impress
sion gained ground that he would pre-
fer some other appointment, either
in the diplomatic service or to the su'
preme court.

COM R BRIGHAM
Agricultural Department Head
Pins Faith on Dairy Industry
APPLES IN THE FUTURE
Also Calls Attention to Raising Of
Seed Potatoes in Bennington
Club Address.

Ebert s. Brigham Of ST. Adams, Yer
mont commissioner of agriculture,
was the speaker Monday evening at
the last of the meetings arranged by
the Greater Vermont association and
w. H. Nichols of the Bennington Board
of Trade and at which state officials
have given addresses descriptive of the
workings Of their respective depart
ment8.
The address, like the preceding, was
given at the rooms Of the Benning-
! ton club and was listened to by an
appreciatve audience. The commits
sioner Is fluent talker and his re-
marks showed that he was thorough.
ly' conservant with all features Of his
department.
Commissioner Brigham is a pronoun-
ced advocate Of the dairy industry in
Vermont and is thoroughly convinced
that 1t is not only the backbone but is
also the entire framework of agricul-
ture In Vermont. He believed that
the commercial orchard Is destined TO
play large part in the future pros
perity Of Vermont landowners and he
gave some interesting facts concern
ing comparatively new industry, that
OF raising seed potatoes for the grow
ers in states south OF the Massachu-
setts line, but will all, he is-to make
the mixtures Of metaphors complete
apparently putting his faith In the
COW as the machine to deliver the
bacon"
The commissioner recited some in
teresting facts concerning the separ-
ate activities OF the department and
spoke at some length concerning the
remarkable progress that had been
made In the eradication OF bovine tn.
berellogis, progress that had placed
Vermont almost at the top Of the list
OF states, He devoted some time to
the campaign against insect pests and
stated that there was already an In
fegtatIon OF gypsy moth on the east
ern side Of the state that will require
the expenditure Of $4,000,
The commission, he said, was going
before the next legis ature and ask for
increased appropriations but for all
that he IS convinced that the depart
ment if increasing the ability of the
farmers and property owners to pay
the taxes that support the state gov
ernment Taxation is the states only
source Of revenue and any activity
that will increase the ability of the
people to pay the necessary taxes
must be commendable.

READING BY MRS. FISHER
Famous Writer Guest Of Hl.Y Club al
Y. M. C. A.


An exceeding y enjoyable and inter
estlng entertainment took place at the
Y. NJ G. A. Monday evening when Mrs.
Dorothy Garfield Fisher Of Arlington,
the talented writer, was the guest at
dinner Of the Hi club The mem.
bers and guests taxed to the utmost
the capacity of the boys room. After
the repast the young people adjorun-
ed to the reading room where they
were joined by an appreciative audi
ence of towspeopIe and listened to
readings Of typical New England
themes by Mrs. Fisher who concluded
her recital with a selection from her
own pen,
Although Mrs. Fisher has lived much
Of her life away from Vermont and
not little Of it on the other side Of
the Atlantic, she has not permitted her
self to become detached from the in
terests Of her youth and she has re-
tanned close touch with rural life that
has brought keen enjoyment to the
readers of her novels and short stories.
For a number OF years she has ap-
peared frequently on the lecture plat
form and has a wide reputation as a
pleasing and instructive speaker Per-
haps she knows Vermont audience
better than any other and this may
have been one Of the reasons why her
reading Monday evening came 50
close to those who were fortunate
enough to hear It,
The complete success OF the affair
is due in no small degree to the eff
forts Of Max Webster, president Of the
club and Fred Cowan, chairman of
the dinner committee.

1t is probable that more deer we're
killed in Pownal on the opening day
OF the season than In any other town
in the state. twenty-five hunters re-.
ported their kills to the town clerk,
Mrs. Harry Niles, during the day and
from unofficial sources she has receiv-
ed information which should bring the
record up to 40.
The deep protected valleys in the
town Of Pownal have always been
fayorite refuge of deer during peri
ods OF inclement weather and deep
snow. Undoubtedly the deer left the
mountains during the storm of Sunday
and thus made easy hunting for the
lucky ones who selected this section.
Some of the men who came out Of the
woods reported the deer to be as
thick as sheep" and almost as easy to
shoot.

Prices to the growers have been

cost to the Christmas consumer, how
ever, who will pay between 81 and 81

ROME CABINET
AND ID ANNUNZI0
IN AGREEMENT.
Settlement of Fiume COntro-
versy Appears Probable
ISLANDS TO JUGOsLAvIA
Poetsoldler's Declaration Of War
With Italy Not Gonf into Effect
lmmed ately.

Rome, Dec. GA dispatch to the
Epoca from Fiume says an agreement
with Gabrielle DAnnunzio has virtual
ly been concluded, as result of the
visit OF the special commission sent
to wait upon him last week by the
Chamber Of Deputies. The despatch
adds that the islands OF Veglia and
Arbe will be evacuated and that Italy
will recognize the regency cf Quar-
nero.
D'Annunzio on December l declared
war on Italy, as a result OF his dis
satisfaction over the Rapallo treaty
settling with Jugo-Slayla the Adriatic
question and because Of a Govern
ment manifesto ordering all the
Fiuma legionaires back to their units
The state Of war was to go into effect
December 3.
Gen. Caylglia, who was charged by
the Government with the task Of get
ting D'Annunzio out of Fiume, issued
an order commanding the poets sol
diers to leave Flume and reenroll in
their own units. At the same time he
threatened blockade,
D'Annunzio regarded the order as
an ultimatum from the Government
and despatched a message to Rome
inquiring II Caviglia was the Govern.
ment's authorized representative
The message, which was addressed to
the poets emissary in the capital, or
dered the emissary if Caviglia was au
thorized to deal with the situation "a
request his passports, break off dip
lomatic relations, notify the Italian
Government that state of war would
exist on the morning of December 8
and then return to Fiume.
Slgnor Bonomi, Italian Minister OF
War, in statement printed by the
Giornale DItalia, said: at Is not a
real blockade Of Fiume that Is order
ed 1t is mere policing DAnnun
zio's action can only be interpreted
in two ways Either he merely does
not desire that the islands be handed
over TO Jugoslavia before full execu
tion of the Rapalio treaty, or he in
tends to annex the islands to the
State OF Fiume. In the latter case
DAnnunzio would act against the
treaty signed by Italy
"The Government does not intend
to violate in any way the liberty q
Fiume to arrange its affairs in the
way it thinks best Italy wishes the
new State freely to settle down with
in the boundaries assigned to it, II
wishes to eliminate the military pre-
parations. which now have no reason
to exist, and to begin a peaceful ex
istence, which will no longer be
guaranteed by a few legionaries, but
by forty millions of Italians"
