WAY OPEN TOPUT
HERT IN CABINET
Declining of LoWden Makes
It Possible for Harding to
Reward KentuCkian.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. February Il.
If the declination of Gov. Frank O.
LoWden to serve as Secretary of the
Navy in the Harding cabinet is final,
the decision may open the way for
the President-eiect to reward y. T.
Hert Of Kentucky with a cabinet post
Certainly if Mr.. Harding is desirous
of doing something to please Gov.
Lowden the appointment of Mr.. Hert
would be most fitting. He was one
or the most active men in advocacy OF
Gov LoWden's nomination at Chicago
last June. but he was also one of the
little group Of leaders who decided
10 swing the nomination to Mr. Hard
ing when 1t was shown that the fight
between Gov. Lowden and Gen. Leon
ard Wood had reached the stage of a
deadlock, which could not be resolved
in favor of either.
The announcement by his friends
that Gov. Lowden did not feel he was
in position to accept the tender of
a cabinet portfolio has heartened the
advocates of Mr.. Hert into renew ed
activities \ few days ago the Hert
followers virtually had given up hope
Now they not only have hopes. but
rather high expectations. Mr.. Hert
has been speculated on as cabinet
possibility ever since the election Of
Mr. Harding.
Republican Senator Elected.
He took a very prominent part in
the campaign. and while he was un-
able to deliver Kentucky into the re-
publican column as to the presidency.
he was able to point with pride 10
the election of a republican senator.
Up to the time Gov. Lowden de-
clined the Navy port folio Mr.. Harding
had about decided that it would be
impossible to reward Mr.. Hert with a
cabinet position, despite the fact that
he desired to do so very much indeed.
With three of his campaign managers
John w. Weeks, Harry Daugherty
and VIII Hayes-already slated for
cabinet chairs. Mr.. Harding felt that
to put fourth manager-Mr. Hert-
into the official family would sub
ject him to criticism on the ground
that he was giving too much con-
sderation to politics in the construc-
tion of his board of advisers Ii
would appear at the present moment
however, that if Gov. Lowden should
request the appointment Mr. Hert
surely would go in.
The appointment of Mr.. Hert might
appease those friends of the presi-
dentelect who are urging him to an
point southern man to the cabinet
Mr.. Hert originally came from Indi-
ana. but has been a resident of Ken
lucky for a great many years He is
mot distinctly southerner, but he
represents q southern and a doubffyl
state.

CROWD OF APPLICANTS
FOR JOB AS JANfTOR
BRING VISION OF SCOOP

While coming down to work this
morning a reporter for The Star
saw a big crowd of men gathered
in front a large private residence
on 18th street. Visions of a scoop
in the early morning hours flashed
through his mind as he rushed 10
the scene.
What's the matter here?" he in
quired of one of the men on the
sidewalk. Anybody hurt? What's
the crowd here for?"
''Oh. nuthin'." he replied laconi-
cally. IT'S jest a bunch of fellers
anSwerin' an ad for a janitor'
And the newsgatherer reflected on
the value of advertising as we'll as
the change in the tone of the local
labor market.

Storage Charge.

(. What constituted the largest seizure
of intoXicants ever made by the au-
thorities in Washington is today be-
ing guarded by the police and agents
of the bureau of internal revenue, the
stock consisting of twenty-siN barrels
of bottled liquor, there being approx

$1,000 to appear before United States
Commissioner Hit this afternoon. but
Capt Boyd w. Perkins, who is in
charge OF the federal prohibition op-
eratives in Washington. said that he
would ask for a brief continuance.
Found Amid Auto Tires.
The shipment was taken from a
freight car in which the barrels of
bottled goods had been placed in the
center, and large number of old au-
tomobile tires piled around them TO
minimize the danger of breakage. Ihe
tires are also being held by the au-
thorities. and their confiscation will
be asked of the court on the ground
that they constituted part OF an IL
legal shipment
Capt. Perkins today said that he be-

that the contents of the bottles was
made from alcohol, water and color
ing matter. A chemical analysis is
being made of the shipment to de-
termine what kind of stuff 1t is.
Detective Hides in Car.
Only for a minor freight wreck in
a Baltimore tunnel last week the

followed the arrival of the car, and
the whisky and tires were placed in

Attorney Denies Charges.
Mr.. Chaser. through his attorney,
Alvin l.. Newmyer, said today that he
had no knowledge of any shipment of
liquor from Philadelphia or else
where. such as that which reached
Washington yesterday.
When the case is given a hearing
we expect no difficulty in proving that
Mr.. Chaser had no connection with
this shipment" said Mr.. Newmyer.
He is a reputable business man and
we ask that the public suspend judg-
ment in the matter until he has op-
portunity to establish his innocence
in court. If. as has been reported, his
name was used in connection with
this shipment it was entirely without
his knowledge or connivance''
