HOOVER SAID TO BE BEST FOR INTERIOR Says Mark Sullivan Declares Hughes, Dawes Certain, Hays Eligible for Commerce Secretary.

DAUGHERTY IS IN RAGE BY MARK SULLIVAN WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan. 3. Here is the way the probable cabinet lies today : It can be taken as practically positive that the secretary of state will be ex-justice Hughes of New York, and that the secretary of the treasury will be Charles G. Dawes, the Chicago banker. These two selects are practically made. Only some extraordinary unforeseen complication could change them, and the public announcement of them can be expected at almost any time. No other appointment is so nearly fixed as these, but the following things can be said: For secretary of the interior, Harding is seriously considering Herbert Hoover. If Harding's mind continues to run as it has run, more and more in the direction of excluding men whose recommendations are political only, and more and more in the direction of naming man on the basis of their standing in their professions and with the public generally, the great likelihood is he will appoint Hoover. Hoover Opposed. Hoover is being vigorously opposed by some of the politicians on the familiar ground of his prolonged absence from America and the recentness of his identity with the Republican party. On the other hand, some of the biggest and most broad minded of the politicians encourage Harding to name Hoover, considering the matter from a political ppint of view. These more substantial politicians say that in the last campaign Hoover "played the game" from a Republican organization standpoint more fairly than any 01 the other Republican leaders who are advocates of the league of nations. Hoover endorsed Harding within a few days after the latter was nominated, and thereafter worked wholeheartedly in behalf of Harding's election. Hoover made his decision on the theory that the Republican party was likely to win anyhow and that the best policy of the1 Republican friends of the league was to stay in the party -and rto the'lfest theyi uld-for ibe solution of the league problem within the Republican organization. The bigger politicians who how endorse Hoover point out the difference between this wholehearted course of Hoover's and the decidedly less wholehearted attitude during the campaign of some of the other prominent Republicans w'io are pro-league. Supported Harding. Moreover, Hoover's generous support of Harding from the beginning of the campaign is in marked contrast to the conduct of some of the irreconcilables who, for the first two-thirds of the campaign, sulked and devoted their efforts to putting Harding in a hole. Some of these same irreconcilables are now among those who oppose Hoover for the cabinet. Probably on the whole the best guess is that Harding's own inclination, added to the endorsement of the broader minded Republican politicians will prevail over the protests of those other politicians who are trying to keep Hoover out of the cabinet. All the present trend of Harding's mind is in the direction of non-political considerations which would favor Hoover. Hoover is frequently mentioned in connection with the department of labor. There is nothing in that. It is the interior department that Hoover is being considered for. If this department should not be given to Hoover, it is likely that Senator Albert B. Fall, of New Mexico will be considered. O'Connell Likely. For the department of labor, Charles M. Schwab has been publicly suggested. That is grotesque suggestion. There is nothing in it. The department of labor will go to some distinguished labor leader. Among the labor leaders who have been most, strongly recommended and most favorably considered ore W. G. Iee, of Cleveland, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; John L. Lewis, of Springfield, IMinois, president of the United Mine Workers of America; James Duncan, of Quincy, Mass., president of the Granite Cutters International Association; and James O'Connell, of Minersvillo. Pa., president of the International Association of Machinists. Oi these four the latter would seem to have a little the better chance for several reasons, among then geographical considerations. The first throe come from states which are likely to have other members in the cabinet. O'Connell is the only one coming from a state from which no other cabinet member is likely to be appointed. The 'act that O'Connell has been looked on as a Democrat would probhbly woigh little with Harding. Daugherty In Place. For attorney general it is commonly p.sumd that. Harry Daugherty, of Columbus, Ohio, la the likeliest choice. To what iegrf that assumption is correct can only be known within Senator Hardings own mind, for the (holee of Daugherty, if it should be made, will be wholly a personal one on Hardings part. Daugherty is the man who first pursuaded Harding to run for the senate six years ago and also first persuaded him to enter the presidential race a year ago. Throughout. Harding's campaign Daugherty has acted in an informal way a a kind of a manager for Harding. Without going into Daugherty s qualifications as a lawyer. It can be . ing. Without going Into Daugherty's f appointed there will be widespread protest on the part of those who feel that the office of attorney general ( Continued on Page Five)

Substantial Tax Reductions to Follow Sharp Expense Cut

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. In 1907, without Jevyina., single penny of direct taxes, there was brought into the treasury of the United States approximately $850,000,000. There was expended that year about $740,000,000. There remained $110,000,000 to be applied to the nation's debt. During the past year, however, there were 4,000,000 persons in the United States who paid a direct tax to the United States government, and the aggregate of such taxes amounted to almost $4,000,000,000. The government's obligations are now so immense they must be met largely by direct taxes. The United States today has a national wealth estimated at $240,000,000,000 and she has a national debt of approximately $24,000,000,000, or about 10 per cent of her national wealth. First in Credit. "But I would not have you believe that the government of the United States is not a going concern," remarked Chairman Good, of the committee on appropriations in addressing NATIONAL GUARDSMEN ENLIST MONDAY NIGHT All men interested in the national guard company being organized in Richmond have the opportunity to enlist Monday night. Some one will bo at the old Company K armory every night this week to receive persons wishing to join the newly organized force. Any man between the ages of 18 and 45 is eligible. Five local citizens have been very active during the past several weeks making all possible preparations for starting the company successfully. A recent communications from Adjutant General Smith authorizing the use of the armory was received by E. M. Campfield, and the keys were turned over to Frank Benn. Each man joining the company will be supplied a complete outfit needed, free of charge. In addition, he will be I paid an annual salary, determined by his rank. There are 48 drill periods of one and a half hour duration each, in every year. Officials say that in the event of other services, it is understood the men will receive additional pay. Rates of pay according to rank follow: Serseant, first class, $223.36; second class, $168.96; third class, $149.12; fourth class, $115.20; corporal, $94.72; private first class $74.88; private, $64.

"Compared with other governments in the world it -stands first in credit? first tn international wealth and, so far as the present indebtedness is concerned, it stands the lowest among the great nations of the world in its indebtedness as compared with the wealth of its people." Members of congress are impressed with the fact, however, that the American people are oppressed with a load of taxation the like of which they have never labored under before; that they are demanding the load be made lighter by substantial tax reductions, and Chairman Good of the powerful committee on appropriations has this new year message for them: Sharp Expense Cut. "I believe that this congress is bent upon the accomplishment of one big thing, and that is to reduce the high cost of government in order that there may be substantial reductions in taxes." The paring of government expenditures begins with the sundry civil bill, which the House will dispose of this week. The departmental estimates in the bill were over $805,000,000. These estimates were reduced by the appropriations committee to $383,000,000, the amount carried in the bill. Chairman Good, looking into the future, expressed the opinion that "prices would "continue to go down and down." He also stated quite frankly that he believed that "labor in the United States is too high," and it was his opinion that the United States would not be able to "compete In getting our portion of the world's trade unless we can employ labor at a reasonable and just wage." He added that he did not believe "wages would (Continued on Page Fourteen) PROMISES MORE AID FOR FRENCH REFUGEES (By Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 3.

ENGLAND IS SHOCKED BY IRISH REPORT Pub:ic Opinion Receives Severe Setback When Details of Burning of Irish Town Are Made Public.

THE PAPERS CRITICIZE: (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Jan. 3 Public opinion ! received a shock when the details of the burning of the Irish town of Midleton on Saturday were made pub-. lie yeteterday. This shock was par-1 ticularly felt In quarters where it had been supposed that martial law in southwestern Ireland would put an end to such reprisals. Nowhere is there outspoken approv al of the punishment meted out to the Irish village by Major-General Sir Edward Strickland, and there evidently is some reluctance to endorse this method of keeping order. In official statements it is declared that seven dwellings in Midleton were destroyed as a result of an ambush of police near that town last Wednesday. Declaration is made that the authorities had decided that the people living in certain houses in the vicinity of the outrage must have known of the plot to ambush the police, and that after the inmates of the houses selected for destruction had been warned to leave, the buildings were set on fire. The occupants were permitted to remove their valuables, but had to leave their furniture behind. Times Criticizes While declining to question the act of burning the bouses, on the ground that it was a drastic measure, the London Times questions the adequacy of the explanation that the inhabitants of the burned dwellings were bound to have known of the ambush. "Official reprisals," the newspaper conrinues, "may be a rough form of justice, but, despite the roughness, the element of Justice should be always beyond question." The Daily Express, granting that the action was legal and presumably necessary, adds: "But it is horrible, as it reveals an absolute state of war in Ireland, and it is impossible to withhold sympathy from Irishmen who find themselves between the hammer of Sinn Fein murderers and the anvil of the British troops." Radical Press Horrified The radical press, on the other hand, is, horrified,- the Daily... News saying: "The reports will le read with amazement and despair. It is a sayage outrage upon human decency and the matter cannot be left where it is." The Daily Herald, organ of labor, calls it "savage and diabolic violence," and calls upon labor to stop "this war upon a nation." FINANCE RESOLUTION IS PASSED OVER VETO (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 The resolution to revive the war finance corporation was passed today by the senate over President Wilson's veto. The vote was taken immediately after the President's veto message was read. Similar action of the house was forecast by supporters of the resolution which was designed as an aid to farmers and others in the present period of declining prices. The vote to override the President was 53 to 5, or 19 more than the required majority.

MISSING BALLOONISTS LOCATED IN ONTARIO COME BACK BY SLED (By Associated Press) ROCK AWAY, NY- Jan. 3. Three missing naval balloonists of the A-3598 who had been the objects of a frantic f-earch through , northern New York and Canada since they dropped from sight here three weeks, ago, today are en route home from the snowy wilds of Ontario, via dog sleds. The trio landed near Moose Factory, OnL, a remote trading post of the Hudson Bay company, on Dec. It. the. day after ihey started from Rockaway. After four days in the woods, they found safety at the post. Word of their rescue reached here in a telegram from the. fliers, sent by messenger to the nearest telegraph office at Mattice, and relayed thence upon the arrival of the messenger last night. The message read: "Driven by storm Monday, 12-13,

west by north at lower Hudson Bay. Forced to land 2 p. m., 12-14 about 10 miles north by east, of Moose Factory, Ont, latitude 51.50. longitude, 81.00. Lost in forest four days. Crew safe at Hudson company post. Will leave on first available means of transportation to railroad, which is by dog sled, and will take about 9 days. Leaving here Monday, Dec. 27th." If the balloonists got away on the 27th, and if they make as good time as they expected, they should get back into touch with civilization at a railroad station, probably Mattice, tomorrow .or Wednesday. Aviation officers here, inclined to the opinion that it will be several days before the balloonists unaccustomed to dog sled travel, work their way out of the frozen north country. Members of the A-5598 crew were Lieutenant Walter Hinton, of Belle Harbor. N. Y.. a pilot on the N. C.-4's trans-Atlantic flight; Lieut Stephen A. Farrell, of New York, and Lieut. Louis A. Kloor, Jr., of New Orleans. ACCIDENT VICTIMS IN 1920 NUMBER 16 Sixteen accidental deaths out of a total of 48 coroner'B cases during the year 1920 are shown by the repoits of that official filed in the county clerk's office. The majority of the cases of accidental deaths are those of automobile accidents, and many of these are crossing collisions in which the auto was struck by an engine. Eight of the deaths were due to automobile accidents. Nine suicides were reported. Two murders, that of Carl Addlngton, asserted to have been shot by his wife, Vina, and that of 4-Amos Carpenter, alleged to have been shot by Elmer. Fackson, also were included., in the reports. A number, of cases of heart disease and apoplexy made up the remainder of the year's cases. Probably the most peculiar accident of the year was that which resulted in the death of George Tyre, which occurred near Cepterville. Tyre fell under a train while he was riding In a box car witlj a number of workmen. Several of the men were sitting in a door when the train passed a fence that ran clo3e to the track. Tyre had been warned of the danger and his companions had moved away from the door but he failed to get away in time. As a result, one foot was caught in the fence and his body jerked from the car. Coroner's cases for 1919 numbered 56. ALLEGED MURDERER OF EASTMAN, TAKEN (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Jan. 3.

Von Hollweg Dead

1

BERLIN, Jan. 3 Dr. Theobald Bethmann-Hollweg, former German imperial chancellor, died early Sunday after a brief illness, on his estate at Hohenfi now, near Berlin. Among the latest prominent activities of Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg in international affairs and German national life was his testimony in 1919 as a witness before national assembly committees investigating responsibility for the war. His testimony brought out that he originally bad opposed the submarine warfare, and had issued warnings not to underestimate America's strength in the conflict. One of the most famous utterances of the war was that denominating as "a- scrap of paper" the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium. This treaty was so characterized by Von Bethmann-Hollweg in an interview with the then chancellor, with Sir Edward Goschen, the British ambassador to Germany. Speaking with great irritation, the chancellor expressed his inability to understand Great Britain's attitude with regard to Germany's attack on Belgium. He was chancellor of Germany from July 14, 1909 to July 14, 1917. PENROSE TAKES PLACE AFTER YEAR'S ABSENCE IBv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania returned to his seat in the senate today, after an absence of more than a year. The first senator to ; rrive, he took his usual place in the front row of the Republican side, and was cordially greeted by his colleagues as they entered the chamber. The effects of the senator's long illness was apparent. Although he was able to walk into the chamber, attendants used a wheel chair conveying him to the senate floor. He remained seated as senators greeted him but his familiar "how are you" could be heard distinctly as he exchanged hand clasps with the members. With Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the finance committee, back in the senate after an absence of more than a year, occasioned by illness, the committee prepared to begin consideration of the emergency tariff bill recently passed by the house. While other members of the committee have not revealed their attitude on the measure, Senator Penrose, in a statement made after his arrival here several days ago, from Atlantic City, indicated he did not look favorably on the selection i of a few commodities for application of high tariff rates in advance of general tariff revision. He expressed the opinion that the entire tariff question should be given deliberate consideration as a whole. CUPID'S BUSINESS INCREASES IN 1920 Falling prices during the past year evidently have served to encourage the faint hearts of a few love-stricken swains, as a decided increase has been noted in the number of marriage licenses issued at the Wayne county clerk s office over those issued in 1919. This increase is all the more remarkable when it is remembered i that a number of returned soldiers were obtaining licenses during 1919. Figures obtained at the county clerk's office Monday show that 525 marriage licenses were issued here during the past year. This number compares favorably with the 510 licenses granted in 1919. Saturday is said to be the best day In the week for this branch of the county clerk's work, as many couples from outlying districts drop in at the office that day. As many as six licenses have been granted on Saturday at the office. As compared with Henry county, the records for the past year are considerably more favorable, as only 393 licenses were granted in this county, and this number fell nine short of that for 1919 for that county. Ohio General Assembly Receives Cox's Message (By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 3.

SPEAKERSHIP RACE MAY GO INTO CAUCUS G. 0. P. State Leaders Seek to Straighten Out Tangle Before Solons Meet Wednesday Night. ; LOOK FOOaRMONY

(Special CorreaMBdoar of the Rtrhnoad Palladlan.) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 3. The legislative speakership contest today overshadowed all other legislative preliminaries. For the last week an effort has been on to get this contest straightened out in council and thus prevent a lively struggle at the house caucus wnicn win be held Wednesday night. it nouia not De sare to say positively that no amicable agreement will be reached but the indications today are that the fight will be carried into the caucus. Those who are high in the party believe the question will be settled without an aftermath of bitter ness that might affect the efficiency of the legislature. At least they strongly hope this will be the case. Among the legislators who drifted into the city today there was some talk of picking a dark horse for the speakership. The argument wes advanced that if the right man could be found all of the forces might be willing to unite and thus avoid any squabble. This talk did not get very far, however, for several reasons, the main one being that nobody seemed to have in mind any dark horse on whom the elements would be likely to unite. Beyond Dark Horse Stage. Experienced party men also thought that the speakership issue had advanced beyond the dark horse stage. They pointed out that Governor-elect McCray had already come out opealy for John F. McClure, of Anderson, for the speakership and had spoken of Mr. McClure as a man who on account of his ability and experience could fill the difficult post acceptably. Mr. McClure was in the city yesterday and there was much talk about the Anderson delegation that will come to his headquarters in Indianapolis to work for him. This is a rather unusual move. In past sessions the speakership unuallv has been settled in a rather quiet way among the party leaders and the Governor-elect has had a big voice in the selection. In fact his word has usually been law on the question. The fact that so much work is being done openly for Mr. McClure after Governor-elect McCray has openly announced that he favors the election of McClure Is a fair indication say the anti-McClure boosters that the supporters of McClure do not feel at all certain that they can succeed. Believe It A Trick. They say that the effort to make it appear that the big urge for McClure comes from Anderson his home city i is merely a trick to cover up the real support that McClure has which they say is certain special interests. But while there is much speculation as to the outcome of the contest, the most experienced politicians express the opinion that McClure will be elected. In spite of the manner in .which the McClure candidacy originated and the way it dragged along for several weeks with indications that he was out of the rurinine. it would be an unusual ! procedure to start out a session of the legislature by defeating for speaker a man who was desired by the governor. In spite of predictions that this congressional district or the other will be against McClure, the experienced political workers believe that the power Governor-elect McCray will have to sign and veto bills and take other important action that may be pleasing or disappointing to one legislator or another will be sufficient to line up the necessary votes for McClure. Tenth May Fight Him. Those who are opposing McClure offer various reasons why certain districts will be against him. They say for example that the Tenth district will be against McClure because McClure will be opposed by Representative Harris of Lake county. Harris it is said is considerably disgruntled because Otto Fifield of Lake county was put on the legislative visiting committee. He feels that this action cut ! Vim nut if ell jtf I a i.honAa t - speaker. It is said also that the political complexion of the Sixth district makes it anpear that this district will go against McClure and the same is said of the i Eleventh district. Other districts are pointed to in a similar manner and it might appear on paper that McClure would be defeated. But as has been stated the feeling of the old heads Is that the governor-elect can exert en ough influence over the individual legislators to get what he desires. j Resent Intrusion. While most of the talk against Mr: MrPlllm ll n in thia lim Viae hesn Hi. reeled at the traction men and other who are working for his success it ap pears certain today as the caucus api proaches that more and more will be said about the "effort of a governor to dictate as to the speakership." j Already the argument is being heard that the speakership is a question that belongs to" the' legislative department of the state and should not be settled by the executive department. This argument was greatly weakened bj the statement made by others that while it is unwise for one department of the state to interfere with the work of another, a precedent has been established in connection with the speakership, and governors for the last 25 have been able to say the supreme word as to who shall be the speaker In reply to this argument those whg were seeking the defeat of MeClurs said that In his campaign for election. Mr. McCray said repeatedly that he would have no fads as governor and that it was bis belief that each depart(Continued on Page Eleven) - I
