BORAH WILL NOT
Be IN CABINET
Idaho Senator viii Remain in
Upper House, High Au-
thority Says.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator william A. Borah of Idaho
is not going into the Hoover cabinet,
either as Attorney General or Secretary
of State. That statement is made on
the highest authority.
Senator Borah has never said he was
offered either post by the President
elect. But the belief that he might
have had either of these cabinet offices
is widespread. and it has never been
denied that the tender of these posi-
tions was made TO the Idaho Senator
Senator Borah will remain in the
Senate, chairman of the Senate for
eign relations committee, a dominant
figure in that body. The Idaho Senator
entered the Senate % years ago and is
now serving his fourth term. He will
come up for reelection next year. If
he chooses to run for reelection, there
Is no doubt but that he will be returned
to Congress.
The announcement that Senator
Borah will not become Attorney General
will be a disappointment to many of
the dry leaders. The opinion was ex-
pressed that Senator Borah, as head
of the Department of Justice, would
enforcement of the prohibition laws.
Aided Hoover Campaign.
During the Kansas City convention
and later, Senator Borah played a
prominent part in the Hoover campaign
for the presidency. Mr.. Hoover, it Is
known, has the highest confidence in
| the ability of Mr.. Borah, and it is out
| of this regard it Is understood, that he
| has sought to have Mr.. Borah enter the
cabinet Certainly the offer of two of
the most important posts in the Gov
eminent must be considered a recogni-
| ton of the high esteem in which the
President-elect holds the Senator from
Idaho.
The Office Of Attorney General, II
was said today, is still problem on
which Mr. Hoover Is working. Sew
eral men are under consideration for
| the appointment and the selection may
be made very soon.
So far as the Office of Secretary OF
State is concerned, the best information
I obtainable' is to the effect that Henry
L. Stimson, Secretary of War under
Tafts administration, is to have the
place.
Posts Considered Sure.
Other posts in the cabinet that are
considered settled are those of Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Secretary OF
the Interior. Secretary Mellon is tc
have the first and DR.. Ray Lyman Will
bur. president of Stanford University
| the second.

WOMEN ASK SEPARATE

ALBANY, N. Y. February 21.-Fem-
inlstS. carrying proudly the banner of
equal rights, and with Mime. Gamma
Walska as their chief spokesman, have
placed before New York legislators
their arguments for separate domicile,
compulsory jury service for women and
equal guardianship rights for both par

Gamma Walska told joint session of
the Senate and Assembly judiciary COM
mittees yesterday that the Pitcher
jerks bill, granting woman the right
to a separate residence for voting and
office holding, had her approval and
suggested that the bill be amended to
include legacy rulings and taxation.
The wife of Harold Mccormick cited
how she recently was held liable by the
United States Customs Court for certain
effects on the ground that her hus-
bands home was her own, although she
had declared Paris as her separate
home.

PARIS, February 81 CR.-Augustin
Edwards, president of the third Assem-

former Chilean Minister to Great Brit
ain, today expressed himself at greatly
pleased at the settlement of the Tacna-
africa controversy.
Every patriotic Chilean cannot but
welcome the settlement of the serious

Edwards was once a member OF the
Tacna-Arica Plebiscite Commission.
He added:
without in the least diminishing
the credit that belongs TO the present
government for this settlement l think
it only just to remember that former
President Alessandri is entitled to great
recognition because it was he who, in
1921, after he assumed the presidency
destroyed the deep-seated opposition in
Chile to the idea of arbitration of the
Tacna- africa problem. 1t was ne who
made possible a solution by accepting
arbitration, although at the Time he did

LITTLEAMERICA,A Antarctica. Febru-
ary 10 (By Dog Team to the Bark City
of New York, February 209--A new
territory in Antarctica has been claimed
for the United States by Comdr. Byrd
as the result of his latest flights, and
particularly those of yesterday.
Two new mountain ranges have been
discovered. The Rockefeller Range is
within the territory claimed by. the
British and known as the Ross De-
pendency, but the other and larger
range, peaks of which tower 5000 to
10000 feet. is apparently outside the
limit Of the British claims and at the
border of new land of limitless possi-
bilities lying between the Ross Sea and
Graham Land.
Other peaks to the east of the Rookie
feller Range have been seen, and every
thing indicates that Comdr. Byrd in his
flights next season will be able to chart
land greater in extent than the known
territory of the Ross Dependency and
possibly equally majestic in character.
Virgin Area for Explorers.
None of this territory to the east
ward has ever been seen by another ex-
plorer. Capt. Scott, who discovered
King Edward VII Land and the Scott
Nunataks, was not able to reach the
shore beyond. Prestrud, Road Amund-
sens lieutenant, reached the Nunataks
in 1911, but failed because of the lirni-
tation of his method of travel to sight
the Rockefeller Range.
Now not only have about 10000
square miles of Antarctica been ex-
plored, due to the amazing visibility
gained with an aeroplane, but the
Rockefeller Range has been mapped by
aero camera and sketch of the entire
sector has been made by Capt Ashley
| G. Mckinley Of the Army Air Service
Also the uncharted stretch of coast line
east of the Bay of Whales has been
mapped by camera.

talked of it one day while walking over
the sunlit stretch of bay ice toward the
base.
II have named this land after the

his taking the oath of Office as

glorious flight. As If herself imbued
with purpose, but joyous in its execu-
ton, she seemed to answer to the very
impulse of her rider. And the girls
spirits rose with the sense of it. Some
thing to do! Something to do! And
doing it. Vague indeed was her plan
only to begin by gc-ng where there
might be more to do: only to reach the
place where crisis would center; only to
fling herself into the thick of his strug-
gle, whatever it might prove to be,
Sure of his extremity, wanting only to
share it. With nothing to offer but her
consequences other than that she might
be where he was. Winged with loyalty
and armed with nothing else. Under a
f1ame-lit sky, whose dun clouds seemed
gorged with blood; through networks of
croSs-lights; Gathering over little streets
of asphalt; laundering upon sod and
hard-packed sand; lodging under stilt-
ed docks; crashing over the rafting
boards of some long wharf approach;
tearing through shivering gardens and
f1inging the gravel from private drives
so she rode, erect in the saddle, high
on the stirrups, with flying rein, pant
ing in beat with the mares wild breaths,
whipped with the wind of her flight;
|
reckless of bruising branch or tearing
thorn, led by lovely all that made
living life to her!
She saw the Bonmar's slender facade
loom like tower of ivory in the glare
from the east that was like hot sun
rise. She brought her firing mount
down to the side street, with the roar
of the crowd beginning to fill her ears.
They were there ahead of her the
mob! There they We're, filling the pave
ment from curb to curb, sweeping
around corners, overrunning surround
ing spaces, swinging to and fro with
that strange movement of swaying
crowd in which body seems welded to
body, all moving in involuntary unison.
in complete disregard of individual will.
Their shouts went up in great heaving
cries, echoing hollowly down streets
and lanes, flung back clatteringly from
the buildings high tile and glass.
