TWINS ARE BORN IN DIFFERENT STATES,
 DIFFERENT YEARS
Train, State Line, New Years Eve, Says Physi-
 clan

McLeansboro, H., Feb. 14.-Twins born in different months, in differ ent years and different states is a peculiar incident, information of which has just become public through local physician, who serv- ed at the birth of the boys on a Louisville and Nashville train, aboard which he was passenger, at the ex- piration of 1919 and the advent of 1920. The doctor, whose story is corroborated by several others who happened to be on the train at the train at the time, refuses to dis close the name of the parents of the children. f
 "The L. and N passenger train, No. 53, which is due to McLeansboro at Il at night was crowded" says the doctor in relating the circum- stances. q had been over to Evans. vile, and was returning home. We had just passed Mount Vernon, Iili- nois, when the conductor came into the car, and asked, "Is there a doc tor here?' responded, and he led me to one of the coaches back of us, explaining why I was needed.
 "When I got to the car, I found that several ladies had formed sort of screen of shawls and overcoats. Inside was woman in travail. The train was running several hours late, and just before we reached the Wabash river, one of the boys was born. It is habit with me of noting the time of a birth. My watch, and those of several other passengers, showed the time to be five minutes to 12. We rolled across the river into Indiana. and few minutes later the other boy was born. Both were strong little fellows and I think the mother has decided to name the eldest Illinois Nineteen and the Indiana Twenty.
 'In all my practice, conversation with other physicians and reading, no such incident has ever before come to my attention"

POLK, DAVIS OR WALL ACE IS LIKELY 10
 SUCCEED LANSING; TREATY OPPONENTS
 PRAISE SECRETARY; NO OTHERS TO RESIGN
Lane, Too, Would Accept Responsibility for Calling of Cabinet Meetings Wilson Still Master, Friends of the
 President Say

Washington, Feb 14-Undersecre- tary Polk, John w. Davis, ambassa- dor to Great Britain, and Hugh c. Wallace, amba ssador to France, are foremost among those being discuss- ed to head the state department as successors to Former Secretary Lans- ing who announced his resignation after dramatic clash with Presi- dent Wilson.
 Altho it is known that MT. Polk has determined to return to private life and practice law, some friends of the administration were hope ful that he might be induced to serve out the uneXpired term of his form CT chief.
 The Lansing resignation furnish ed official Washington with sen- sation unparalleled since Wm. J. Bryan, departed from office. The statement of Secretary Lane, who is leaving the cabinet March 1, that he felt an appeal responsibility with Mr. Lansing for holding the cabinet meetings to which President Wilson objected, seemed to add possibilities of further cabinet resignations for a time, but this was disposed of by a statement at the white house that there were to be no further retire ments as a result of the incident
 Congress discussed the sensation with aviidity in the cloak room, but the subject did not come up in de- bate on the floor of either the house or senate. Such comment as was made was more or less divided, op- ponents of the treaty praising MT. Lansing's course, and others recall ing that one of the presidents pre- negatives is to select the members of his own official family.
 The row served to bring to public light much that has been going on under the surface since President Wilson fell i'll and the principal ef- feet was to emphasize that Presi- dent Wilson and his former secretary of state were at loggerheads on many important subjects even before the

So is Dry Law, They Say, but No
 Liquor is on Sale

New York, Feb. 14.-Granting of woman suffrage lover the heads of the people" by legislative act "can- not stand the tests in the courts that will ensue." declares a state. ment issued tonight by the National association opposed to woman suf- fragc.
 "These cases," the statement con tinues, "should ratification be obtain ed in time for women to vote this year, will not only hold up the cleo tion result as did the Hayes-Tild- en conflict, but possibly necessitate a second election. Republican and democratic chairman, working under the suffrage whip, are leading the country straight for political chaos.
 The statement was amplified by Miss Mary G. Kilbreth, the president, who declared two suits would be in stituted to test the constitutionality of the Susan B. Anthony amendment if it becomes operative before the elections next fall. Miss Kilbreth declined to give details of the legal action contemplated, but said pre- liminary steps had been taken.

United States went into the war in 1917 and that these disagreements which were on fundamental questions of policy, continued the peace nego- tiations at Paris and even to the handling of the Mexican situation since the president has been sick.
 Lansing Takes Rest.
 The best informed of those close to the administration were sure that the climax was the result of an ac- of conditions which con- tinued over the Question of whethe, the peace treaty and the league of nations covenant should be separated or treated as one document, ranged into the recent handling of the Mexi- can situation and wound up in the inside administration discussion of whether the presidents illness in- capitated him from discharging the duties of his office.
 Mr. Lansing's friends say that in calling the cabinet together he was acting with precedent to support him and that although as ranking of ficer of the cabinet he actually called the meeting, other members of the cabinet agreed in the procedure They point to Secretary Lanes state ment that he assumed equal resronsi- bility and that all cabinet members thought the meetings a good thing
 The under the surface discussion of the incident, however, the sort which goes on between officials and is not intended for publication, con- meetings last October with the spec meets at least the first of the cabinet ulaton which was going on at the time as to whether Vice President Marshal ought to be called upon to take over the duties of the presiden- cy. While it is known that the sub- ject never came up actually at a of the cabinet officers, it also is known that it was discussed and that some of the re- ports, which were taken to the presi-

"Relief from guard Duty" ejaculat-

There's nothing to being relieved from
guard duty. It's being ON guard duty
that's hell"
"No," maintained the first. Its the
relief. Why, the other day they put
me OH guard for two hours, and it
wasn't bad at all just standing round
