An Anglo American dispute over

HOOVER FAILS
TO Give SOUTH
CABINET POST
Recognition of Region Had
Been Expected for Aid
in Election.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, March 1.--Presi-
dent-Elect Hoover has found nc
place in the cabinet for the south,
it appeared today, despite insistent
pleas from close advisers that he
include a southerner in his official
family.
None of the eight cabinet mem
bers whose identity has become
known is from the south. It was
indicated today in Well-informed
quarters that neither of the "sur-
prises" promised by Hoover's as
sociates for the commerce and
agriculture posts will be a south
erner.
Recognition of the south generally
was expected because of the contri-
button that once solidly Democratic
section made to Hoover's election
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida
and Texas were the four states
from which he had to pick.
Disregards Advice
In passing by the south, the
President-elect disregarded advice
of associates who know the feeling
of that section and had first-hand
contact with it as campaigners last
autumn.
Beyond the mere practical politi-
cal effect such an appointment
would have in crystallizing gains
Hoover made in the south, these
associates advanced other reasons
which lie close to party ideals. The
Republican party, they argued, al
ways has been a sectional party. It
is time, they say, for it to become
national party.
Hoover, however, has made it
plain he did not consider geographic
cal lines in selection of his cabinet,
but that this effort was to find ten
able men who would cooperate with
him in carrying out his policies,
wherever they might live.
Cabinet picking has been an ar
duous task. Almost last-minute
changes were necessary in some
cases, the secretary of labor for one.
Not week ago, Hoover definitely
had settled upon William N. Doak,
president of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, for this post.
Meets Objections
Objections were voiced by the
American Federation of Labor with
which the brotherhoods are not at
filiated, and even by some from the
brotherhood ranks, it is learned, and
Hoover decide to retain Secretary
Davis until Ii can select a perman-
ent labor department head.
Information that William ..
Mitchell, solicitor-general, had been
offered the attorney-generalship i'm
mediately stirred up the memory of
some to recall that Mitchell GEN
orally is regarded as a Democrat.

DEATH OF KING
TO MARK 1923,
PREDICTS SEER
Year of Much Agitation Is
Seen by French Fortune
Teller.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. 3.-The year 1923
viii be marked by the death of a
king. by the passing Of two very i'm
porJSnt French political personages
and two world famous men Of letters
and enough airplane, mine. railroad
and steamship accidents to keep the
newspapers supplied with front page
news.
All that was apparent in the
crystal ball to Madame Fraya, the
French prophet who has become
famous ever since she predicted, a
year ago, the tragic death of the
Belgian millionaire banker Alfred
LOeWenstein.
Predicts Kings Death
""The new year will be one Of
great agitation" Madame Fraya
told the United Press today.
France particularly win suffer,
because many men are hungry for
power. The present French cabinet
will tumble, but many of its men,
bers will come back into power.
There will be many scandals in
society and finance, a great increase
IN crimes and divorces. Several
terrible airplane catastrophes will
shock the world, but aviation gen.
orally will make great progress.
Water will cause several disasters
with great loss of life, one of them
will occur in America. There will
be one menace of war, in which
France will be involved, but I see no
bloodshed.
Living will become more and
more dear, but business viii be bad.
There will be an unusual number of
failures among small merchants.
The outstanding death will be that
or a king very friendly to France"
Need to Be Loved
Ever since M. Loewenstein fell to
his death in the channel from his
airplane, the fame of Madame
Fraya has spread and the world,
including many Americans, has
beaten path to her door. Her
bank account has been materially
fattened.
Hundreds of American women
are among my visitors" Madame
Fraya told the United Press.
Like all women, they want to
know about love affairs. But while
French women need to love, Amer
leans need to be loved. American
women, in general, are the luckiest
