MET OF pm is COMPLETED Premier, Himself, Heads List as Minister of Finance. HERRIOT, BRIAND NAMED New Body of Widest National Union. By A. I* Bradford, United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, July 23. —Raymond Poincare today completed his cabinet slate. Two remaining portfolios were filled after Poincare conferred with President Doumergue. Henri Quellle, who had been tentatively selected for the ministry of agriculture, was definitely established In that post and Andre Railleries was selected for the ministry of labor. Following the annourfllement, the franc closed at 208.25 to the pound -sterling, and 42.87 to the dollar on the Bourse. When Herriott formed his cabinet the franc opened at 230.58 to the pound and 47.40 to the dollar. “We have formed cabinet of the widest national union in which all parties are represented without taking into account the question of parliamentary groups,” Poincare said as he emerged from the Elysee after seeing Doumergue. “We tried to accomplish this task by maintaining our ideals at the highest possible point. "Our first cabinet meeting will take place at 3 p. m. and I will return to the Elysee at 7 p.' m. with the official cabinet list.” Opposed Debt Pact Poincare, who vigorously opposed ratification of the Mellon-Berenger debt-funding agreement without vital amendments, and who is the man responsible for the French invasion and occupation of the Ruhr in 1923, apparently has succeeded in creating the coalition cabinet which many persons believe to be essential to the succor of French finance. The cabinet list was as follows: Premier and Minister of Finance— Poincare. Minister of Justice —Barthou. Minister of the interior—Sarraut. Minister of Foreign Affairs— Briand. Minister 'of Public Works—Tardieu. Minister of Commerce—Bokanowsky. Minister of Colonfes—Perrier. Minister of War—Painleve. Minister of the Navy—Leygues. Minister of Public Instruction— Herriot. Minister of Pensions—Marin. Minister of Agriculture—Quellle. Minister of Labor—Fallieries.

THREATEN EXPOSER OF LOVE CULT Muncie Man Warned by Members Not to Mention Their Names. Bv United Press , MUNCIE, Ind., July 23/-Threats have been made against Jesse Johnson if he carries out his purpose of exposing an alleged free love cult here. Johnson asserted members of the cult had approached him and warned him not to link their names with activities of the group. i Existence of the cult was first charged in Johnson's answer to the divorce complaint filed by his wife, Kathryn Johnson. He accused his wife of being a member of the cult which, he claimed had been in existence for many months and included many men and women prominent in Muncie society. Love Affairs Husbands and wives and unmarried men and women indulged Indiscriminately in love affairs in following out the theories of the cult, Johnson asserted. Frequently, Johnson saw his wife in the arms of other men, who included some of Muncie's "gray haired papas with plenty of money,” the answer in the divorce proceedings stated. When Johnson remonstrated with his wife against her conduct, the complaint said, she told him: “You may be all right as a husband, but as a sweetheart you are a blank." Where They Meet Members of the cult, Johnson said, meet at the home of a “big hearted husband, whose wife seems to be a leader in the group." The men buy the women fine clothes, he said, declaring his wife had come from gatherings of the cult with " a lot of fine silk things I never gave her.” Johnson declarod he would not be shaken by the threats from his purpose of exposing every person whom he believes guilty of participating in the alleged free love practices.

Leaving his office by a secret stairway, Mayor Duvall today evaded a meeting with fifty wives and other women relatives of street car strikers. Duvall, who was in his private office with several politicians, kept the women, many of them carrying children, waiting in an outer office from 10:40 a. m. until nearly 1. p. m. Then Lieut. Arthur B. McGee, Duvall’s aide, announced: “The mayor has left.”

“We don't believe it!” came the < voices of a number of excited women.

Two Ways to Get out Duvall either climbed a secret stairway from his office 'on the second floor to 'the board of health office on the third floor or else descended to the first floor through the board of works office. ‘I told you when you first came that the mayor's time was taken up for the entire morning," McGee offered by way of explanation. The women were furious and for a time barred McGee's exit from the outer office of the mayor where it is- his duty to receive callers. They accused McGee of deceiving them and expressed their displeasure at having to wait in vain for two hours and fifteen minutes. Want Arbitration The women had come to request Mayor Duvall to attempt to settle the car strike, now in its nineteenth day, through arbitration, and to learn the general attitude of the city's chief executive with respect to the strikers. A number of the women Bald they had voted for Duvall.

WOMAN'S BUREAU PROBLEM FOUND BY REPUBLICANS Failure to Name Head Seen as Challenge to Watson. Failure of the Republican leaders to announce the appointment of a head of a woman's bureau la Interpreted by politicians as the first aerious challenge to the unlimited authority of Senator Watson. The Senator, according to the politicians, has thus far stood firm in his demands that Mrs. Vivian Wheatcraft, vice chairman of the party and manager of the woman’s Watson activities in the primaries, be named. It Is known that the Senator made her election to the vice chairmanship a matter of personal appeal to members of the eommitte and that the same influences now insist that as such official, she is entitled to the honor of organizing the Republican women of the State. Opposition of a serious nature has arisen. Some assert that this opposition has the support of Chairman Clyde Walb, who is said to fear an organization that could be easily turned to F.ert Thurman for Governor. It is understood that Walb still trusts Watson to help him get the governorship two years from now, but is also cautious. That the opposition to Mrs. Wheatcraft is well organized is admitted. It has gone so far as to demand that Mrs. Ben Urbahns, the candidate for treasurer, be given the place. The matter was discussed at Turkey Run at various conferences, but the division of sentiment was so bitter and determined that cautious heads may suggest a policy of naming no head of the woman’s division, bqt combining all activities under the leadership of a committee. Whether the friends of Mrs. Wheatcraft will consent to such a virtual dethronement Is problematical. They Insist that her services to the Watson cause were Invaluable and must be recognized.
