CABINET WORD
His Acceptance as Secretary
of State Would Hasten
Announcement.

MARION, Ohio. Jan. 12.-oHicial an
nouncement from President-elect Hard
ing regarding his Cabinet is probable
within forty eight hours, according to
authoritative information today.
The appointment OF Charles f. Hughes
as Secretary Of State may be made pub
lie in this announcement. 1t is under
stood Harding has been waiting for an
acceptance from the former Supreme
Court justice and this is one explanation
Of the mysterious silence the President
eject has maintained for nearly three
weeks regarding his Cabinet
He was prepared to make an announce
ment ten days ago. but had not received
acceptance from Hughes. It is under
stood
The appointment of Charles G. Dawes
as Secretary OF the Treasury may also
be made at the same time.
Opposition In many quarters TO aD-
pointment Of 4 political Cabinet Is
causing Harding to make over his list,
which was fairly definite ten days ago.
The targets Of this opposition are Harry
NJ. Daugherty, Ohio; A. Hert, Kentucky {;
VIII Hays, Indiana, and John w. Weeks.
Massachusetts,.
Cabinet positions offered these men,
1t Is said by some. would be in the
nature Of rewards for political service.
Their friends, however, declare they are
all men whose ability has been demon
strated and insist. since they have been
trusted advisors OF Harding during his
political campaign, they should be equal
ly valuable to him after he becomes
President
Some opDositfon TO Hnys comes from
local politicians In various parts Of the
country who fear he might be able. as
postmaster general, to undermine their
local political powers. He also has ac-
tive political opponents in Indiana. one
Of his strongest supporters, William
Boyce Thompson, of New York, was to
see Harding today.

TAX ON GAS FOR
INDIANA PARKS
NOT HIGHWAYS
Provision of Fuel Bill Springs
Surprise When Offered in
Senate.
HARTZELL is SPONSOR

A tax OF fourth of a cent on each
gallon of gasoline sold in Indiana, the
proceeds to go for the purchase Of State
parks, is provided in a bill introduced
in the Senate today by Senator Lee ].
Hartzell, Ft Wayne. While a gasoline
tax proposal was expected, the provi-
sions Of the bill were a surprise, as pre-
dictions had been made that the pro
ceeds Of a gasoline tax would go into
fund for the improvement of roads.
Former Governor James P. Goodrich,
in his final message to the Assembly,
asked that the possibilities OF such tax
be investigated in order that more money
might be supplied for roads. 1t Is prob
able a gasoline tax bill for roads may be
introduced or that the Hsrtzell bill will
be amended to provide that the pro-
ceeds be spent on roads.
IMPROVEMENT IN
HANDS OF DRUG CHIEF.
The bill places the enforcement of the
act in the hands OF the State food and
drug commissioner, who has the oil IN
spection department under his supervi-
sion. 1t would require a statement by
every dealer in motor fuels on or before
the fifteenth of each month and the tax
collected turned over to the State
monthly. The bill authorizes prosecut-
ing attorneys to force the collection Of
such taxes and provides a fine Of $1,000
and six months Imprisonment for its
violation. -

Police Hold IS or 80 Orders,
But Refuse to Tell Names

Efforts to obtain a list of the names of
persons to whom the police have issued
whisky on orders Of Charles J. Or5ison.
Federal prohibition agent for the State
of Indiana. failed.
Lieutenant FOrsythe stated that he had
an order for every bit OF whisky given
out and estimated the number of orders
written by Orbison from seventy FIVE to
eighty. He declared these orders, all
signed by Orbison, never called for more
than one quart and many times for only
4 pint of whisky to be issued to the per-
son named in the order He stated that
he would not give out this list unless
ordered to do SO by Chief Of Police Jerry
Kinney.
An appeal was made to Chief Kinney,
who passed the buck" to Orbison. He
said:
"OrbisOn has charge of all whisky in
the State. and I feel that this list should
be made public by him and not by me,

AFTER STATUTE
ON CITY BUYING
Purchasing Agents Proposal
to Obtain Supplies in
Quantity.
ADVANTAGES SET OUT

Advantages Of central municipal
storehouse and sy stem of city purchas-
ing by which standard articles would be
bought in Job lots looking TO future
needs instead OF in driblets requisi-
toned by the thirty-nine subdivisions of
departments at present, were outlined by
City Purchasing Agent Dwight S. Ritter
at the weekly luncheon OF the Kiwanis
Club at the Hotel Seyerin today. bill
to make possible the change viii be pre-
sented to the State Legislature, Mr.. Pit
ter said.
The members Of the Kiwanis Club rec
commended that their board of directors
indorse the plan as outlined by Mr..
Ritter.
demonstration OF the saving In time
and effort which may be effected by guam
tity purchasing was feature of the pro-
gram. which was arranged by the pub
lie affairs committee OF the club.
Mr. Ritter reviewed the present system
of purchasing. which he declared re-
suits in vast number OF small orders,
an immense duplication Of work, un-
necessary delays and higher prices than
the city could get If total quantities
could be considered.
ADVANTAGES
OF SYSTEM.
THE central storehouse system offers
the greatest opportunity for maximum
competition, deliberstion and investiga
tion in buying by eliminating most emer-
gency orders" Mr.. Ritter said. 1T pro-
vides material at the lowest cost and at
the lowest possible permanent invest
ment; II promotes adoption OF standards
by various departments, thus reducing
the number Of articles used and giving
better specifications for uniform infOr-
nation to all sellers; Il permits better
checking Of quantity and quality to
maintain the standards adopted; II
would save many thousands OF dollars
without added cost and Its records would
be Invaluable in budget making.
1T furnishes convenient place for
interchange of material or equipment no
longer needed by the original owning
department and 1t is an additional safe
guard against duplicate payments"
Outlining the present system, Mr.. Rit-
ter said;
In the nrst place, each board has its
own funds whether appropriated by the
common council or given It by statute
as a special lazy. As these funds enable
tbe boards to do the work assigned 10
them, these departments are very natu.

It was disclosed that the police are
now holding number Of written orders
from Orbison, on the authority of which
they have dispensed to individuals whom
he has favored, whisky in quantities less
than a quart on the theory that the
whisky is to be used for medicinal pur-
poses"
Judge VIII s. Sparks. in the trial OF
Louis and Julius Hasg, ruled that no
other intoxicant than grain alcohol may
be legally prescribed, se'd or given away
for medicinal purposes in the State of
Indiana. Under this Interpretation of
the prohibition law, which was appealed
to the Supreme Court OF Indiana, the
Hangs were convicted OF operating a
blind tiger when they sold whisky on a
prescription from a physician.
Charles J. Orbison. without even the
color OF a physicians license, is now dis
pensing whisky FOR medicinal purposes
by the mere process OF asking the police
10 give a quantity OF whisky to the in
dividuai whom he may designate. and
the police Of indianapolis are assisting
him in the dispensation by filling his
orders.

tained II Olbison desires the recipient to

lowing note from Orbison:

DIR. Thomas Beasley today issued the
following statement:
"T never prescribed whisky for Mrs.
Walker or any other patient. and never
