Walsh jumped up and exclaimed:

Special Despatch 10 THE New foZK HESALp.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Feb. 1e.-There re-
main three places in President-elect
Harding's Cabinet about which un-
certainty exists. These are the Navy.
Commerce and Labor departments.
Former Gov. Lowden of Illinois may
be Secretary of the Navy if he will
take the job, and Mr.. Harding is an
xious to have him do so. The other
two posts still are open, with three
or four men under consideration for
each place.
It is more than probable that neither
of these places will be filled until Mr..
Harding decides upon the question OF
Southern representation In his CAB
met. lie has been revolving this mat
ter in his mind ever since he re-
sumed consideration of his Cabinet
personnel Mr.. Harding is not dis
posed to treat lightly the claims OF
the Southern Republicans for Cab
met representation which are oeins
pressed upon him in increasing weight.
This fact accounts in considerable de-
gree for his open mind on the remain
ing Cabinet places. He wants nrst
of all. a well balanced. efhcient anu
energetic administration, and, these
considerations being equal. would be
glad to accord recognition 10 the
South.
Without reference to any particular
candidate this matter came up for dis
cussion to-day when Mr.. Harding re-
ceived a delegation composed or Dr'
Robert r. Motion, principal OF the Ius-
kegee Institute. who represented tne
negro citizenship. and Drs. ;. NJ. Ashoie
Jones and W. w. Alexander OF Atianta,

talk about interracial anity. The cler-
gynen made II plain that they came In
the interest Of no particular individual.
but they expressed the belief that the
end they sought might be hastened
through the appointment OF q Southerner
10 a Cabinet place. With this question
still open. the friends OF several candi-
dates from Southern States are continu-
ing thoir efforts to obtain recognition.

Sure there is going to be an early

night scores Of people gathered about
the river near the Main street bridge
to watch the minnows. There were
millions Of them and they were right
up at the top of the water and it was
declared that man with pail could
have dipped in and caught them by
the thousands. They were sleek and
fat and the old timers declared that
the early coming of the minnows to
the surface of the water was the sur
est sign that spring is on the way.
Then the people who look out over the

all these signs it is just as we'll to

SCHOLEY WORKS
RACINE COUNTY
Kenosha Crusader Aids the
Sheriff of Racine Coun-
ty in Arrest.
GOT THE LIQUOR HERE

Crusader John Scholey, who in the
past has limited his operations to Ke-
nosha county, went. over into Racine
county on Thursday to help out the
officials there and cut two more notches
in the butt of his enforcement gun
when he aided in the arrest of two
North Chicago men at Lakeside. In
an automobile belonging to the men,
which stood at the rear of the saloon
in which they were arrested, Scholey
and his companions found nine gallons
of moonshine liquor. The men claim
ed that the liquor had been secured
in Kenosha just after noon on Thurs
day. They were held on charges of
transporting liquor. The men gave
their names Of Tony Bonnitch and
Nick Snioski and both claimed to be
residents Of North Chicago. They
were arraigned in court in Racine
this morning and the hearing of the
cases continued for a week.
Aids Racine Sheriff.
Scholey had gone to Racine county
to aid Sheriff Nate W. James in pro-
posed raid on saloon at Lakeside.
1t was declared that there had been
frequent complaints to both the sheriff
of Racine county and the Kenosha
crusader of sales of liquor at this place
and the two officials decided to make
the raid. While Scholey had no
authority to make arrests in Racine
county he offered the benefit of his
experience to aid the Racine sheriff
and his deputies all new at the raiding
business. Just before the officials
reached the saloon the automobile had
driven into the lot at the rear of the
place and the two North Chicago men
were standing up at the bar. Scholey
hurriedly made an investigation and
discovered the moonshine.
1t is declared that the two North
Chicago men are believed to be a part
of the ring of operatives in the booze
line which has been working out of
North Chicago for some time. 1t is
said that this ring has disposed Of
thousands of dollars worth Of liquor.
Scholey declared on Thursday night
that he had tip as to where the liquor
had been secured in Kenosha and it is
expected that there will be arrests
here The men taken in Racine county
refused on Thursday to tell just where
the liquor had been obtained in Ke-
nosha, but it was declared probable
that they will talk later.
