Soldier of Fortune Who Gained

Girl Back Home.

FRANKLIN. Mass. Nov. 24.-Rob-
ert A (Bob) McCiain, formerly Of San
Francisco, ex-marine and soldier OF
fortune, has written the War Depart
ment today for confirmation OF the
report that he has been willed the
empire Of the sultan OF Llang-Llang
and--the sultan's harem OF forty
dusky wives.
The little empire OF LANG -Llang is
an island in the South seas. washed
by tropical waters. The possessions
include valuable pearl fisheries. FIJI
teen hundred subjects dwell in this
land Of palm trees and sunshine.
McClain once saved the sultan's life
and was adopted as the sultan's son.
1t happened back in 1909. when Bob. ''
as a member of the Second Marines,
was ordered to the island. at the ex-
treme end OF the Philippines. Nc
Claim says he rescued the sultan from
some men who were beating him and
that the aged sultan finally made him
his "son and heir" Now the sultan
is dead and McClain is informed I'M
officially that the title for the empire
harem and all. awaits him.
But McClain was married TO Miss
Ethel Miller at Wrentham. Mass, last
March, so he is going to disband the
harem IL the War Department con-
firms the advices from LANG -Llang
for Mrs. McClain wants to go to the
South seas. At present McClain is
working as a mechanic.

New will quit the Senate, take Cabi-
net place and Mr.. Hays will succeed
him as Senator. The fact Is that
senator New expects to remain In
the Senate, though he will have q
fight for denomination against former
Senator Albert j. Beveridge, two years
hence, who is no opponent to be
lighted or despised.
Harry NJ. Daugherty, Of Columbus,
close friend OF Senator Harding. in
Heated while in Washington he had
no expectation of being Postmaster
General. Mr.. Daugherty has been
mentioned also for Attorney General.
Friends of Mr.. Daugherty are doubt
full whether he would care to drop
his law practice, which Is heavy, and
lake a Cabinet place.
WEEKS POST CERTAIN.
That former Senator John w.
Weeks, Of Massachusetts,. will be in
the Cabinet. as Secretary Of the Navy
or Secretary Of the Treasury. Is taken
for,granted. Much doubt is felt here,
however. whether Senator Harding
will select q soldier for Secretary or
War. Both Generals Wood and
Pershing are freely talked Of for this
position. Chairman. Julius Kahn. OF
the house military SobifhiSNSNs 49,
much support for the place.
Henry Wallace. of Des Moines. is
looked on as the probable selection
for Secretary of Agriculture, because
OF his close relations to Senator Hard
ing.
For Secretary Of Labor, Congress
man Nolan, of California, or Raymond
Robins, of Illinois, is likely to be
named.
Senator Fall is mentioned for Secre-
tary Of the Interior, as Is also former
Secretary James r. Garfield.
Gov. Frank o. Lowden is put into
many of the Cabinet lists for Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. This is by
no means a certainty. The latest
gossip on this subject is that Gov
ernor Lowden may prefer to take an
Enthusiastically, such as the one at
Paris.
For Secretary OF Commerce, there
are several names mentioned, such as
A. T. Hert, OF Kentucky, and Albert
d. Lasker, of Chicago. both promi-
nent in the management of the cam
paign. Frank A. Munsey has also
been mentioned, and also Former Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel.
WOMAN HAS CHANCE.
II there is a new department Gre
ated, a woman will be added to the
Cabinet. A department of education
is thought by some to be in the
cards, but as a matter of fact Sena-
or Harding is committed most strong
ly to new department OF public or
social welfare.
This new department. which would
include the Children's Bureau, the
Women's Bureau, the public health
service and other social welfare agen-
cies. would be headed by woman.
For the place. which is not yet GER
tainty, such names as those Of Mary
Garrett Hay, Harriet Taylor Upton,
Mrs. Medill Mccormick, Mrs. Manly
L. Fosseen, and Mrs. John G. South
are mentioned. And while Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait did not support
the Republican party in the recent
campaign, 1t is not out of the ques.
tion that her name would be consid {.
cred. Mrs. Florence Kelly, too. would
have many supporters.
