BRYAN PREMIER Others In Cabinet Are- MoAdoo, Me Reynolds, Redfleld,. .Lane, Burleson, Wilson, Heuston, Garrison, Daniels. Not until President Wilson sent the names to the senate for. confirmation was his family of advisers officially made known. The cabinet follows:' Secretary of State William Jen nings Dryan of Nebraska. Secretary of Treasury William G. McAdoo of New York. Secretary of War -Lindley .M. Gar rison of New Jersey. Attorney General James McReyn- olds of Tennessee. Postmaster General 'Representative Albert S. Burleson of Texas. Secretary of the Navy Joseplius Daniels of North Carolina. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane of California. Secretary of Agriculture David E. Houston of Missouri. Secretary of Commerce Represent ative William C. Redfleld of New York. Secretary of Labor Representative William B. Wilson of Pennsylvania. The Taft cabinet was composed en tirely of conservatives. The Wilson official family presents strange contra dictions. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury; Burleson, postmaster general, and Reiltield, secretary of commerce, havo long been recognized as conservatives. Bryan and Daniels, secretary of the navy, have trained together for years. They are stout advocates of the "new idea" in politics. Lane, secretary of the Interior, is a Roosevelt Democrat. He was appoint ed to the interstate commerce com mission by Roosevelt and has never made any bones of his admiration for the ex-president. Houston, tecretary of agriculture, is unknown In a political sense. McReynolds, attorney general. Is supposed tc have conservative lean ings. Wilson, secretary at labor, will fol low his leader. Redtield bitterly opposed the nom, (nation of . Wilson. He regarded the Tersey man as a radical in the extreme and threw his support to Representa tive Underwood. It Is hard to say whether the horde of office seekers that has already in vaded Washington or members of con gress were Jarred the hardest by Presl. dent Wilson's patronage statement in which the new executive served notice that he has shifted the burden of patronage distribution from his shoulders to those of the members of tils cabinet. It was apparent immediately that President Wilson's declaration of free dom meant that the cabinet officers under his administration will wield a much mora-jbowerful arm than in previous ywars. Heretofore it has been customary for all White House statements to be Issued In the third person. Not so with Mr. Wilson. He handed out a typewritten slip in the first person an nouncing that he hail offered an am bassadorship to Chairman William F. McCombs and disclosing that Mr. Mc Combs could have a place in the cabi net If he had so desired. BERRY A CANDIDATE Former Pennsylvania Treasurer Would Be U. S. Treasurer. William H. Berry, former state treasurer of Pennsylvania, and the man who made the unsuccessful fight as the Keystone candidate for gover nor against John K. Tener, will, in all probability, be the next treasurer of the United States. He is being strongly urged for the place by National Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer and the Pennsylvania Democratic organization. His name ha.-i been presented to President Wil son and Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo. Palmer says that Berry made an enviable record as state treasurer of Pennsylvania and is entitled to recog nition. He also points to the fact that Berry, as an independent candidate for governor in 1910, polled almost 400.00D votes with a regular Democratic and Republican candidate In the field. If the treasurership does not come to Berry it can be stated that he w!U lerlve some substantial recognition from President Wilson. Hand Worth More Than Life. That a left hand Is considered of more value than a human life was shown by verdicts returned by Juries in Washington county. Pa. Stella Rybosky was awarded $1,200 for the loss of her husband, who was killed in the mines. The widow has eight chil dren. Another Jury returned a verdict awarding Henry Stephenson $1,230 for the loss ot his left hand while at work in a mine. Big Chair Factory Destroyed. The largest chair factory In the United States, and probably in the worldhat of the Shreve Chair com pany at I nion uuy, ra., was aesiru.eu by fire.

CUP CHALLENGE ARRIVES New York Yacht Club May Depend on Old Defender Reliance. Sir Thomas Upton's challenge for America's cup was delivered to G. A. Curmack, secretary of the New York Yacht club, last week. It is no secret that the members of the club do not look favorably on the challenge. These members would liave preferred some other British yachtsman, but no Britisher seems dis posed to challenge as long as Sir Thomas is in the game. If the challenge is accepted it is pos sible that the defending club will rely on the Reliance, which in the opinion of many has not yet been pushed. DAD'S GUN HALTS ELOPERS Makes Daughter Drop New Swain and Wed Old Flame. Rieley Doilson, a seventy-year-old West Virginia mountaineer, shouldered his gun and went forth in search of his daughter when he learned she had planned to elope with a new sweet heart and Jilt Bob Allen, who had been courting her for a long time. Together with Allen, he intercepted the would-be elopers at Lebanan, where they had planned to meet and take a traiu for lionaker. lustead of the elopement the father compelled the girl to marry Allen Just as soon as the marriage license and preacher could be obtained. British Aviator Killed. Geoffrey England, a British aviator, fell when his machine collapsed and was killed. TEMPTED DEATH TO RESCUE TWO Gallantry Swells List ol Victims in Dynamite Disaster IH1RTY ARE DEAD; MANY DYING Fire Aboard Steamer Lying Off Balti more Causes Explosion of .300 Tons of Dynamite Men Torn to Pieces. By a curious irony of fate it was the Instinct of mercy and brave men's gallant responses to the appeal of two of their fellows lu imminent and deathly danger that swelled to such great proportions the list of killed and injured by the explosion of 300 tons of dynamite aboard the British steam ship Alum Chine off Fort Howard, near Baltimore. . Thirty are known dead in the disaster, more probably whose bodies are 'burled in the icy waters of the harbor, and scores are injured, over many of whom death hovers. The loss probably will total $600,000. Of the injured a score are frightfully maimed, their skulls fractured, arms and legs torn off and their bodies lacerated. At least fifteen are expect ed to die. Curling smoke from the Alum Chine Showed the crew, the stevedores en gaged in loading her from a barge and the crew of the tug Atlantic lying alongside that death was in the air. Every "man knew In an instant the coal bunkers were on fire and that within a fe.v minutes the heat and flames would reach the dynamite. There was a rush to the ship's side. The crew and stevedores tumbled aboard the little launch Jerome. Most of the other seamen and the steve dores leaped for the decks of the At lantic. Hurriedly the two small boats sped away from the doomed ship. The Atlantic wsb rapidly reaching a place of safety when t.vo figure were seen claniboring from the hold of tha Alum Chine. They were two sailors who had been left behind. They reached the sides of the vessel and sent up piteous appeals for help. Despite the danger that menaced him and his vessel Captain W. K. Van Dyke of the Atlantic heard and heed ed the call. He gave the orders that turned the Atlantic's nose again to ward the doomed steamship. With the two sailors aboard the At lantic again sought safety, but sought it too late. With a roar the dynamite exploded. For a moment a dense pall of smoke covered the waters. When It cleared away ship and barge had disappeared and the Atlantic, a dis mantled hulk, had become a human shambles. Death In a dreadful form had de scended from the sky. The Alum Chine had been torn into shreds and boxes of dynamite mingling with the flying fragments of steel and timber filled the air. These fell on the packed decks of the Atlantic, the dynamite exploding as it fell and sweeping those on board as a charge of shrapnel levels charging troops. Men's heads and limbs were torn from their bodies. Blood was every where. From ships and launches near by watchers saw dismembered bodies slung across and tumbled about the Atlantic's decks. A half mile from the scene of the explosion is the quarantine hospital. There are about twelve patients there and not one of them escaped injury. The hospital was battered and scarce ly a pane of glass left. Mrs. Richard son, wife of the quarantine physician, was severely injured by the concus Blon. The damage was enormous. Near by lay the I'nited States col lier Jason ready for her trial trip. After the explosion she resembled a battered practice ship. Four men were killed outright and twenty-seven In jured by the explosion. Captain Thompson, in charge of the special crew of the big collier, had a wry narrow escape. He was tossed Into the air fully six or seven feet by the force of the explosion. The shock was felt as far away as Reading, Pa., 100 miles from Balti more. It was recorded also at Atlantic City. People at first thought an earth quake had occurred. Baltimore Itself was shaken as If by a powerful trembling of the earth and tall buildings In the center of the city rocked perceptibly. 70 DIE IN NAVAL DISASTER Cruiser Ram Torpedo Boat and Sends Small Boat to Bottom. Different versions are given of the Herman naval disaster which occurred when the cruiser Yorck rammed and sunk the torpedo boat destroyer S1T8 off the Island of Heligoland in the North sea. Two officers and sixty-eight men of the smaller vessel were drowned. The torpedo boat went down so quickly that only fifteen of her crew of eighty five were saved. Lieutenant Pies, the commander of the sunken vessel, was among those lost. Night maneuvers were going on and the vessels were operating without lights. The cruisers and battleships were running along at full speed in single file. S178 tried to pass through this column between the Yorck and another cruiser. It appears that he miscalculated the distance, for the cruiser came down on hi vessel and sent her to the bottom, cutting her in two. This Is the genpfally accepted story. BUTLER COUNTY DRY Saloons Not Necessary Is Judge Gal breath's Decision. Butler county, Ha Is dry as a re sult of a decision by Judge James M. Galbreath In which he refused the thirty applicants for liquor licenses.

NO LETUP FOR UQUORPEOPLE Anils In Legislature to Keep Up Bombardment MORE BILLS ARE PRESENTED Meaaure to Prohibit Marriage of White and Black Introduced in House New State Charitie Plan. Late developments indicate strongly that the liquor interests of Pennsyl vania are to be subjected to attack throughout the entire session of the legislature by the "cold water" advo cate. Members leading the attack are closely allied with the Anti-Saloon league. Most of the bills are made by this organization and the firing done by representatives in sympathy with the program. Two more anti-liquor bills made their appearance In the house, one from Representative Swift of Beaver and the other from Representative Claycomb of Blair. The Swift meas ure would reduce the hours of busi ness for wholesale and retail liquor houses and close them entirely on cer tain holidays. It also would eliminate free lunches and slot machines from saloons. The Claycomb bill aims to prevent breweries and distilleries, not licensed by the courts of their respective coun ties, from selling to the "home trade" or other consumers. A third bill, dealing indirectly with the liquor subject, but in no way af fecting the business, was presented by Representative Malie of Pittsburg at the instance of Mayor Magee. It In creases the penalty for persons found intoxicated in any Btreet, highway, public house or public place. Legislation to provide protection to the contracting parties at weddings is offered In a bill presented by Wilson of Clarion.

It would provide that any "lifer" who had served at least fifteen years might be paroled by the court Imposing the sen tence. The court would fix the condi tions of the parole. Legislation to prevent the issuing of a marriage license where the wedding would result in the marriage of a white and black were presented by Down of Mercer. The marriage license clerk who violated the law would be liable to a tine of $1,000. A bill to carry out the pledge of the Democratic state platform and remove hospitals and charitable Institutions from politics was presented in the house by Representative E. Ixjwrey Humes of Meadville, Democratic floor leader. It provides for an automatic distri bution of the aid which the state ac cords to such institutions. The bill applies to institutions not under the absolute control of the state and is to go into effect June 1 of this year. In part Humes' proposal is as fol lows: On and after the first Monday of each quarter, beginning with the first Monday of September, there would be paid to each Institution approved by the department of charities and the state board of health a sum not ex ceeding $1.63 a day for each resident of the state maintained and treated free of charge. The total disburse ments for any period would not exceed one-eighth of the whole appropriation, multiplied by the number of quarters which would have elapsed. The whole amount paid to any insti tution In one year would not be in excess of the sum properly chargeable for such service, less all voluntary contributions for the maintenance and operation of the Institution, all pay ments for or on account of any such patient and revenues received from in. veRtments and donations of any kind, not specifically appropriated by the donor for some other purpose. No institution receiving money from the state from any other appropriation could receive any money under this bill. FEBRUARY SHOWED GAINS Railroad Earnings Increased, Pig Iron Production Greater.
