PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU.

WASHINGTON, Jan members
of the Indiana congressional delega-
ton feel quite confident now that
when President-elect Harding an
nounces his CABINET Indiana will be
represented in it in the person of
Will Hayes. as postmaster general.
The selection of Mr.. Hays for
postmaster general would meet the
unqualified approval of all the Hoo
sier, states representatives in con-
gress.
There is no department Of our
government that stands more in need
OF complete reorganization than the
post-office department. and as chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee during the recent campaign,
Mr.. Hayes gave a most convincing
demonstration of his ability as an or
ganizer. l don't believe Mr Harding
could find a better man to fill the
office of postmaster general than Mr..
Hayes" remarked an Indiana con-
gressman.
Incidentally, so conflicting are some
of the statements made by statesmen
returning to Washington from Marion
as to the decisions of Mr. Harding on
the personnel of his cabinet that there
is a general feeling here that the pres
jdent-elect is resorting to the old
Roosevelt method of feeling the pop
ular pulse.
Discuss Reports.
When the Associated Press gave out
it's cabinet slate This week with John
w. Weeks, former senator from Mass
achusetts. listed as secretary of the
interior official Washington gasped,
for the previous states had been men
tioning Mr.. Weeks as secretary of the
navy.
Several reasons were given for the
origin of the latest report that Weeks
would be named secretary of the in
terror. One has it that it was a red
flag waved to distract the attention
of certain senators, notably Johnson.
of California. who are opposed to the
appointment of Herbert C. Hoover to
his cabinet. There are those who be-
lieve that the report that Weeks was
to receive the interior portfolio would
so horrify the far western senatorial
group, who want a westerner as sec
retary of the interior that they would
be willing to accept Hoover for that
post.
Hoover Possibility.
1t is generally admitted that there
is wide spread sentiment favorable
to the appointment of the former
food administrator, Mr. Hoover, to the
cabinet and no one will be surprised
if he is included in Mr.. Hardings
official family
AS to Mr.. Weeks, he is generally
regarder as well qualified for place
in the cabinet, particularly as secre-
tary of the navy, for the reason that

TWO MEN ARE HELD UP
BY YOUTHFUL BANDITS;
GUNS ARE DISPLAYED

Two holdups on successive nights
have aroused fear of a campaign OF
lawlessness in Richmond and mem
bers of the police force are expected
to redouble efforts to curb any crime
wave that might break out in this
city. One of the attempts was unsuc-
cessful. When the victim showed
fight and put quart of oysters to
good use by slamming it over the
head of one of the bandits, the thieves
disappeared. Both holdup victims
describe the bandits as young and of
medium size and unmasked.
Orrin Drawer, of the Cornell Apart
ments, was dragged into an alley be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth street
from Main street Thursday night and
forced at the point of a gun to hand
over about $50 which he had in his
possession.
Poeketbook Taken
According to Drawer two men
reached out from the alley and drag
ged him into the drive, ordering him
to throw up his hands. Drawer COM
piled and the men searched him, TAX
ing his pocketbook containing about
$50. They did not try to take any
jewelry. Drawer lowered one Of his
hands sooner than the men thought
he should and he was struck on the
arm with heavy stick.
After taking his money, the robbers
ordered Drawer to keep his mouth
shut and they ran in the alley. Ora
yer informed police of the affair i'm
mediately.
The men were described as being
about 25 or 80 years old and unmask-
ed. Drawer said he thought he would
recognize one of them if he should
see him again. The police have found
no trace of the men.
Jordan Intercepted.
Friday night Edward Jordan was in.
tercepted while going to his home on
Richmond avenue about p. m. Two
men passed him and kept ahead of
him until they reached a point west
of Fifth street. Here one of them
stopped over, seemingly to tie his
shoe. Jordan approached and as he
halt and keep quiet.
Instead of doing this Jordan showed
fight and opened fire on the robbers
with bucket of oysters. One shot
was fired in the air, Jordan says, by
the man struck by the oysters.
He described the men as young one
of them wearing soldier pants and
leggings Both were medium sized
and not masked. They ran east on
Richmond avenue. The police were
called to investigate.

De VALERA'S LANDING
AROUSES CURIOSITY
(By Associated P.ess.)

LONDON, Jan. Reports that
Eamonn de Valeria, "president of the
Irish republic, has landed in Ire
land, have greatly piqued the public
curiosity, and confirmation of these
rumors eagerly awaited. Newspapers
feature the statement of Harry Boland.
secretary to De Valeria, to the effect
that "the president" has arrived safe
ly in Ireland, but none has succeeded
in ascertaining de Valera's where
abouts, nor received any news relative
to the Sim Fein leader beyond what
has been cabled from New York.
In some quarters there is much skep.
ticism regarding the whole story and
Dublin castles profession Of ignorance
relative to de Valera's landing encour-
ages doubt in the accuracy of the re-
port On the other hand there are
many who see no improbability in the
story. and who speculate on de Val
era's purpose in coming to Ireland.
These, assuming it was possible for
the Irish leader to escape the vigilance
Of watchers, are inclined to believe
the government did not oppose his
coming, holding that de Valera as an
elected member of parliament was
entitled to avail himself of the invita-
tion recently extended to Irish men,
bers Of parliament to confer with the
government as to means of reaching
an agreement on the Irish problem.
The Daily Graphic expresses the
opinion that, taken in conjunction with
the pacific attitude of Irish Catholic
prelates, deValera's appearance would
be a "portent Of good rather than

GOVERNMENT
GREETS new
YEAR TODAY
Machinery Pauses Despite
Elimination of Customary
Reception Official Circles
Celebrate,
CONGRESS TAKES REST
tBy Associated Press,

< WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The gov
ernment machinery in Washington
paused today to greet the incoming
year. Despite elimination of the Gus
tomary white house reception due to
President Wilson's illness, other feat
ures of the New Years day observance
in official circles promised to restore
much of the colorfulness Of the occa-
sion in pre-war years.
Instead of the customary reception
rendered them at the white house,
members of the diplomatic corps were
invited to a reception at the home of
Acting Secretary Davis, of the State
Department, who was delegated by the
President to act in his stead. Beside
informal receptions by other cabinet
officers, Secretaries Baker and Daniels
arranged to hold open house" today
to receive New Year calls from the
public at large as well as officers of
the army, navy and marine corps and
their families.
Congress Takes Holidays.
Although the house, in its desire to
speed up work on appropriation bills,
broke an age-old precedent by remain
ing in session on the day before new
years both houses of congress had
laid aside work today to join in the
observance. All government depart
ments began their New Years holiday
yesterday when they remained open
only half day.
The men of the navy, whether afloat
or ashore, were extended New Years
greetings by Secretary Daniels in
message flashed from the great wire
less station at Arlington just as the
year of 1920 passed out and the year
of 1921 came in. Other wireless sta
tions picked up the neval Secretary's
greetings and today this message from
/ their chief was read by men of the
American navy around the world:
Greetings to the men of the navy
whose services in 1920 under trying
circumstances have illustrated the
naval habit of meeting every emergen-
! cy with resource and success. May
| the New Year bring to them the
recognition which patriotic service
| rightly merits.

ANALYSIS OF
PRIMARY LAW
MADE PUBLIC
Ch aries Marlborough, d.
rector of State Legislative
Reference Bureau, Makes
Study of Statute.
OPERATION IS SHOWN
(By Associated PresS)

(By Associated PfeSs)
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-Control Of
political parties in Indiana has not
changed on account of the primary
law says Charles Peterborough, direc.
tor of the State Legislative Reference
Bureau, in an article in which he
makes a comparative study of the
operation of the Indiana law.
There have been three conclusive
and three inclusive preference primary
contests" he writes, mo one of which
in all likelihood would have resulted
differently if handled exclusively by a
convention"
Only so per cent of the qualified
electors, he finds, have voted at the
primaries and for only Al per cent of
the public Offices and "a per cent of
the party Offices has there been more
than one candidate at the primaries.
Mr. Kettleborough's study, however,
disputes the supposition that distance
from the polls and imperfect political
organizations cause a light rural vote.
Returns Analysed.
AN analysis of the returns" he
writes, Shows that in counties in
which two-thirds of the population
live in the rural districts there were
56 per cent of the voters who par
!iciDated in the primaries; in counties
where two-thirds of the population
live in cities and towns that AZ per
cent participated in the primaries and
in counties evenly divided between
urban and rural population that 53 per-
cent of the voters participated in the
primaries
Regarding the effect of the primary
on organization control Mr.. Kettlebor
ough writes that the question is
whether the party managers by means
of the primary have been deprived Of
the power which they originally pos
sessed of naming the candidates for
Office and controlling party machine
ry''
Answering this question directly he
says "An inspection of the primary
election returns in Indians and a
casual familiarity with the ADVENT
tious political processes employed
shows conclusively that these powers
are vested as securely in the party
managers as they were formerly
Explains Workings. .#
However," he adds, "as the party
managers are perpetually constrained
by the potential powers Of retribution
which the primary possess they prob
ably exercise these functions with
more appropriate caution. In it's
practical evolution, therefore, the
Indiana primary has substantially ap-
proximated the Hughes type whereby
the party managers propose a candi-

ing member of the supreme court, also
will go into the private practice OF law
His home formerly was at Logans-

The changes ir :he state offices are
among the first to result from the No

Carl Mote Retires.
E. A. Wreidt, recently appointed as
the new director of vocational educa-
tion in Indiana, also began his duties
today. He fills the vacancy caused by
the resignation a few months ago of
J. G. Collicott, who became superin-
tendent of schools at Columbus. o.
Another change at the state house to-
day was the retirement of Carl Mote
as secretary of the Public Service COM
mission, one of the appointive posi-
tions of the state.
Ten days hence the big change will
come at the state house when Warren

Simultaneous with the governors
inauguration the term of Harry B
Smith as adjutant general of the state
will expire. Although no definite an

ment will probably be the first import
ant appointive position to be filled by
the new governor.
The term of the state treasurer ends
Feb. 10 and the state superintendent
of public instruction will begin his
new term on March Is. being the last
of those elected in November to take

800 HOMELESS men
SLEEP IN HISTORIC
CHURCH0F new YORK
fBy Associated Press)


NEW YORK, Jan. Eight hundred
homeless and unemployed men start
ed the New Year by sleeping in the
pews of one of New York's most his
toric churches-St. Marks in the
bowery-early today.
The men~part Of crowd of more
than 1000 met in bowery hall on
New Years eve, and planned to break
into the church for the nights lodg-
ing il admittance was refused them.
But when they approached the an
cient edifice in Second avenue, they
found it brilliantly illuminated and
the rector, DR.. William Norman Guth-
rie, waiting for them, with an invita-
ton to come inside.
When the motley crowd had settled
in the pews, DR.. Guthrie addressed
them, saying that while it would be
worse than crime to use church
for any except religious uses, no
Christian minister in his senses could
refuse to yield an emergency shelter"
Ready to Help
MAY the churches do their little
he said. ITO show themselves worthy
of the confidence of the friendless and
surely the community will not COM
pei the churches long to lend them
selves to such irregular use"
DR.. Guthrie then told the men he
had made arrangements to give them
substantial breakfast. There was
no disorder and the men listened with
respectful attention to the clergyman's
remarks.
St. Marks Protestant Episcopal
church, located almost in the heart
of the lower east side, was organized
in 1871. In crypt underneath the
church is buried the body of Governor
Peter Stuyvesant, one of the Dutch
governors of old New York.
