the face of changed conditions in his
conversations with President Roosevelt
in Washington.
Under these circumstances his func-
ton in Washington would be only to
listen and observe. He arrives in the
Capital late tomorrow.
The former premier was represented
as believing that. although he may
be powerless at this time to make any
decisions on the propositions to be dis
cussed in Washington, it is possible that
in the near future he may again be
in position of authority.
This thought, it was believed, I'M
doubtedly will inspire the former
premier to establish the best possible
relations between himself and the lead
ers in Washington.
A vast amount of speculation has
developed regarding the attitude the
French would adopt in the event an
irritation race developed between Brit
ain and America.
An excellent authority takes the view
that French sympathies and monetary
interests would, at the present, lie with
the United States. But because of the
situation in Europe. this authority as
serted, France needs the political sup
port of Britain and consequently would
hesitate to take any monetary position
likely to ALLEVIATE Downing Street. So,
for the present, M. Herriot's' position
remains strictly neutral.

FARLEY LIKELY
TO STILL Head
EMPIRE DEMS
Indicates Roosevelt Lend
ing Power to Down
Tammany Leader

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. S.-(UP).-
Definite indication that President
elect Roosevelt will lend himself
to the movement to break the
power of John F. Curry. Tam
many leader, was seen today in
authoritative reports that James
A. Farley would retain the posi-
ton of Democratic state chairman
of New York after he becomes
postmaster general in Roosevelt's
cabinet on March 4.
Two of the most important
posts in the new cabinet, war and
navy. are still open with PreSi-
dent-elect Roosevelt considering
the names of at least half dozen
prominent Democrats for them, it
was learned last night.
AS Jas. A. Farley, Democratic
national chairman and other par
ty chieftains completed another
day of informal conferences on
patronage it was agreed in sources
close to them that final cabinet
selections could not be looked for
until we'll after Mr.. Roosevelt's
return from his Bahamas cruise.
Two southerners, Henry L.
Stevens, Jr., of North Carolina,
former commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, and former Governor
Max Gardner, also of North Caro-
lima, have been frequently men,
toned for the places.
1t was reported that Stevens
was under consideration for the
war portfolio and Gardner the
navy.
Another Democratic leader
whose cabinet stock has risen in
the past few days is Archibald
Mcneil of Connecticut, Demo-
cratic national committeeman.
Some observers .concede him more
than an even chance of getting
the navy post.
There was the persistent rumor
also that should Mr.. Roosevelt
find it difficult to choose man
for the war department, he might
swing to Swagar Sherley of Ken
lucky, former chairman of the
house appropriations committee.
Sherley now is looked upon as one
of the fiscal advisers in the Roose-
welt group.

AGREE T0AFEDERAL REORGANIZATION
Roosevelt Will
Confer With All
State Governors
Invites Them to Consider
u. S. Problems on
March 9Th

NEW YORK, Feb. supp.
President-elect Franklin D. Roose-
Welt has called a conference of
state governors in Washington,
Immediately after his Inaugural
ton, to consider such matters as
conflicting federal and state tax
alton, unemployment relief. and
farm mortgages, it was announc-
ed yesterday by Mr.. Roosevelt's
secretary, Louis McHenry Howe.
Mr.. Roosevelt has sent a letter
to all state governors asking that
they participate in the confer
ence. He points out that many
of these executives will be in
Washington for his inauguration,
and that it will be a propitious
time for the meeting.
1t is recalled that during re-
cent years Mr.. Roosevelt has
taken an active part in the an
rual conferences held by the var
lOuS SldIS SONSl MUS
The letter follows:
Because so many governors
will be in Washington on March
fourth, l want to take that OPP
portunity of holding a conference
in relation to a number of mat
tiers in which the federal govern
ment and the state governments
are mutually interested. For that
reason l want to invite you to
come to the White House on
Monday. March6, at II a. m, to
attend an informal conference.
at is my thought that we
should discuss for our Mutual
benefit cetain subjects as:
First, conflicting taxation by
federal and state governments;
Second, federal aid for unem-
ployment relief;
"Third, mortgage foreclosures,
especially on farm lands;
Fourth, better land use for
afforestation, elimination of agri--
cultural land. flood prevention,
etc.;
Fifth, reorganization and con-
soidation of local government to
decrease tax costs.
at is possible that other sub
jects will occur to the governors
as being essential for discussion.
81 do not believe that more
than one day will be required for
this informal meeting. But it
will give me the opportunity of
having the pleasure Of meeting
many of the chief executives of
the states. I hope much that you
will be able not only to come to
the Inauguration but also to stay
over through Monday for this
meeting at the White HOUSE"

By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Corresponden,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. (UP).
The senate voted last night to re-
duce government operating ex-
penses by more than $170,000,-
900 a year.
Working late into the night,
the senate approved the economy
bill. rider to the treasury-post-
office measure appropriating
1899, 100000 for those two de-
! partments. The major savings
will come from an order to all
department heads to cut expenses
! S per cent below appropriations
for the fiscal year of 1884.
This section, it. was estimated,
will save approximately $146,-
100000.
The Democrats won a partial
victory in their fight for execu-
tive economy when they obtained
passage of an amendment requir-
ing a two-thirds majority Of con-
gress to defeat any presidential
order reorganizing Or abolishing
federal agencies. with the excep-
ton of departments headed by
cabinet officers.
Originally, Democrats. antici-
pating events after March a,
! planned to give the president the
power to consolidate or abolish
departments as well as other
agencies, but the proposal was
abandoned.
The amended economy act
which must be approved by the
house extended most of the provi-
sions of last years legislation in
Guiding eight and one-third per
cent salary cut and enforced fur
Tough for government employees.
Before it took this drastic ac-
ton, the senate adopted pro-
viso by Senator Edward P. Cost
igan, Democrat. Colorado, that
none of the saving could be ach-
ieved by reducing wages or ex-
tending present payless fur
loughs. The vote was 81 to 30.
If the house approves, con-
gress thus would pass the respon-
sibility to cabinet officers of the
incoming Roosevelt administra-
ton who will be confronted with
a difficult task in carrying out
the order. The house approved
no such reduction.
The Costigan amendment, it
was generally conceded, would
cause numerous dismissals, since
cabinet officers are barred from
cutting existing pay. and must
necessarily discharge employees to
make the savings.
After voting this wholesale
economy, the senate then refused
to raise the present eight and
one-third per cent government
salary cut to 10 per cent as rec
commended by its economy COM
mittee. The vote was close, 80
to "a.
Thus it prevented further au-
tomato salary cuts not only for
the rank and file of government
clerks and government officials
! but for members of congress.
The existing eight and one-third
cut will remain in effect.
Salaries of congressman thus
will remain at the present figure
of $4,000 annually, for the house
