Former illinois Governor Slated
For Navy Portfolio in
Latest Gossip.

Former Gov. NFrank o. Lowden,
Of Illinois, has been re-slated for the
Harding Cabinet, and will go in as
Secretary Of the Navy, according to
today's report on the President
elects intentions. This shift is de-
clared part of the biggest shake
up made to date in the tentative
Cabinet slate: .r
CHANGE FOR HARDING.
The former governors own unwii-
lingness to take a diplomatic post 'or
anything else in the way of service
.aking him abroad was responsible
for the President-elect'sc change. I'm
mediately on learning this the Presi-
dent -elect is said to have started out
to reappoint the Cabinet place to
save a seat for the Illinois man whu
was himself a candidate for the Pres
idential nomination.
That shift proved fatal to the Cab
met ambitions OF Charles q. Dawes,
then Chicago banker, who was at one
time set down as a certainty for Sec
retary Of the Treasury, according to
Ian the Treasury portfolio goes to An.
drew J. Mellon. the Pittsburgh bank
er, an arrangement that pleased Sem
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania.
Furthermore, the new "shuff,ing of
the Cabinet cards" gave tho President
elect his opportunity 10 satisfy the
wishes of former Senator John w.
Weeks, OF Massachusetts,. Mr.. Weeks
has repeatedly stated his preferesce
for the war portfolio. arguing That
his associations as a graduate OF the
Annapolis school might handicap him
in the Navy Department.
WEEKS TO BE Placed.
A prominent, Republican leader said
today:
Prospects for former President
Taft taking the War portfolio are not
SO good. and former Senator Weeks
will be shifted to that place, although
it would all be upset in event the for
mer President consented to undertake
service in the Harding Cabinet.
Dawes, who had to be sacrificed
when the former Illinois governor
made himself Cabinet choice by de-
clining diplomatic service, will be
taken care of with the position of
governor of the Federal Reserve
Board, which will soon be made va
cant by the resignation Of Governor
Harding"

BLOCK EARLY VOTE
ON WAGE MEASURE
Senators Defeat Motion to
Bring Nolan Bill Up Tomor-
row Afternoon.

Unanimous consent to AK a time
for a vote on the johnson Nolan
Minimum Wage bill, was this morn
ing defeated in the Senate on objec-
ton from Senator Smith of South
Carolina.
Senator Johnson OF California, re-
auested the consent and asked for a
vote on the bill tomorrow afternoon.
with his purpose defeated, Senator
Johnson announced that he would
make motion to bring the bill up
for the consideration OF the Senate
and that he would continue his ef-
forts in this direction. until he OBJ
tained favorable consideration.
The objection raised by senator
Smith came as disappointment to
the thousands OF Government en-
ployes who would benefit under the
bill. Following the defeat OF tho
amendment of Senator Hol<e Smith to
exclude District employees from the
provisions OF the bill, employees gem
orally were hopeful that the bill was
on its fnal step TO enactment by the
Senate.
Employees, however, do not regard
the objection raised this morning as a
serious interference, and believe that
the minimum wage will be estab-
lishcd within the next week.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. jan. 24.-Ex-

shortly before O'Clock this morning
wrecked the plant of the Gayoso Oil
and Mill Company, operated by
Colyar Reese & Co., leaving .charred
and mangled corpses numbering be-
tween fifteen and twenty-five in the
ruins.
Two tanks of gasoline exploded
within a few minutes Of each other,
and almost Immediately great sheets
OF flame and black smoke billowed
over the area where the tanks had
stood.
OTHER TANKS IN DANGER
Three other tanks are in great
danger of letting loose.
Half hundred injured are in hos
pitals and others are coming in con-
stantIy. ~.
A number of adjacent dwellings
were destroyed in the, flames that
followed the explosions, and. it is
feared, other casaaltiss will be found
in some of these when the ruins cool
sufficiently for investigation.
Every fireman, policeman, and am
bulance in the city is at the scene Of
the disaster, and thousands are
formed in a wide circle watching
the spectacular panorama.
Twelve bodies have been recovered
from the burning building but their
charred condition prevents identifi-
cation.
rFIREMEN ARE POWERLESS.
The fierce BURNING oil and blind
ing smoke make it impossible for the
fire fighters to get near the flame-
swept oil plant, and all efforts are
now being used to prevent, II posKi-

lowing conferecs. Congressman Davis

propriated about $4,000 for the build
inng in an amendment. Mr.. Andrews
replied that he would object to a
conference unless he knew what the
House confcrees intended doing about
this item.
Il certainly won't agree TO II in
conference unless upon bringing IL
back to the House we are Instructed
to accept it," replied Mr.. Davis. He
declared that the appropriation was
not requested in tho estimate.
Congressman Haugen, who stopped
the sending OF the bill to conference

tion had been inserted in it by the
Senate. when he was informed that
the new legislation affected chiefly
the fiscal relations between the Fed
cral and District Governments, he
withdrew his objections.

The sounds were traced to the foot
of the stairway which leads to the

lister and sexton saw a disheveled,
haggard youth totter out of the door
and collapse on the floor.
He moaned that he was dying and
begged for water. Efforts of the min

been in the study were fruitless. The
