EXTREMES IN
THEJABINET
Wilson Chooses Progressives
and Conservatives
"iLLIAM J. 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

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

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.

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.
The Judge handed down his decision
cn the ground that the preponderance
of proof presented In license court led
him to the opinion that the license to
sell Intoxicating liquors in this coun
ty is not necessary.

dent, making the Brooks law In effect
a local option law, as It empowers
the license court, on the presentation
of sufficient evidence that the sale of
liquor Is unnecessary throughout a
community, to refuse all licenses in
that community.

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. If this measure became
a law the practical Joker who selected
the bride and groom for his victims
would be liable to a fine of $23 and
have the prospect of spending sixty
days in jail to think about his bit of
alleged wit.
The twenty-eight prisoners serving
life sentences In the Western peni
tentlary will have a chance for free
dom if the bill presented by Bigger of
Allegheny becomes a law. 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.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
Week:
"While there is little speculation In
any market the activity that has pro
vailed for a number of months past
In the important Industries and trades
continues unabated. Railroad earn
ings during four weeks of February
Increased 4 per cent, as compared with
the same period last year. Other
February statistics were generally
favorable.
"The average daily pig iron produc
tion In February exceeded that of
lanuary, a conc lusive evidence of the
activity in the Iron and steel trade,
the heavy purchases of steel products
by railroads and agricultural imple
ment makers being the main feature."
