the historic and flower filled East
room of the White House, President
Hoover led the nation today in a
final tribute to the memory Of Sec
retary of War James w. Good.
Cabinet members. the highest Of
ficials Of the government and the
diplomatic corps also had gathered
to honor the war secretary who died
in a hospital here Monday nign;
after an operation for gangrenouS
appendicitis.
The caSke. that bore Goods body
stood before a large curtained VIM
dow of the East side of the room
and was draped with an American
flag. At either end stood armed
guards. their bayonetted muSkets
grounded.
AS the Rev Joseph r. Sizzo Of the

sons, and ether members Of tia
immediate family sat along in the
green room, adjoining the East
room, during the services.
President and Mrs. Hoover. with
Speaker Longworth and vice Presi-
dent Curtis at either side. were
seated in the front row nearest the
casket.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20 WP)-
The possibility OF a cabinet shift
to fill the place of the late Secre-
tary of War James w. Good, de-
veloped in speculation today.
President Hoover is expected to
fill the vacancy soon because Of
the necessity of having a Spokes-
man for the department while the
annual appropriations are being
considered in congress.
One unverified report was that
either Secretary of Navy Adams or
Postmaster General Brown might
be moved into the war department
In the first instance assistant sec
retary of navy Jahnckc might be
promoted to Secretary of Navy
Governor Green of Michigan is a
possibility. Assistant Secretary OF
War Hurley of Oklahoma, house
majority leader TilSon of Connec-
ticut, Walter Newton of Minnesota
one of the Presidents secretaries
and William J. Donovan. of New
York, also are mentioned as pos
sibile appointeeS.

Great Lottery Similar to

ABOARD S. S. MOLOLO. ON A
ROUND-THE-PACIFIC CRUISE
Nov, 20, WH A great international
pool may be opened for the first
running of the Aqua Caliente $780,
900 added handicap at the new track
at Aqua Caliente. Mexico, during the
coming winter racing season season
at the border resort. according TO
James w. CSunny Jim" Coffroth.
The race will replace the famous
Coffroth handicap, the worlds rich
est purse. which was an annual fea-
ture of the program of the old IT.
juana Jockey Club.
We've talked about opening a
pool similar to the Calcutta for five
years and there is bare possibility
that it might be done this year In
connection with the opening of our
new track" Cofroth said. How
ever, there are many complications
and several things to be considered
before proceeding definitely"
Although thousands of miles from

Sorbed in the opening of the ST.
000. 900 track on December 28-eight
days after the cruise ship docks at
San Francisco.
Says It's a Gamble
ITS big venture and somewhat OF
a gamble" he said when interviewed
in his suite. You know the track
is about three and a half miles from
the international border and to
reach it by automobiles you must
pass two or three casinos. That's
quite a temptation for gambl-
ers. We nope they won't blow all
their money before having a chance
to play the races"
The new track and increased in
terest in racing over America no
doubt will mean more and better
horses for the program, and larger
purses, Coffroth said.
THE present plan is to run about
30 days. although that will depend
upon developments"
He pointed out that racing was
meeting with favor even in places
that formerly were opposed to the
sport. He recalled the short Amer!-
can Legion program this summer az
Gresham, Ore. near Portland as an
instance of new fan" interest.
But you can't put over racing
without the backing of the law" he
said. I'VE tried at Hanforan, near
San Francisco, without success. l
think the majority of people enjoy
good horse races and in time legis-
latures of many states will no doubt
