CABINET IS PROGRESSIVE Common-Sense Principles, aa tTsed in Kverjday Affairs, to Be- Ap plied to Problems of Of fice, Is Promised. DES MOINES, March 20. "Standpat im is dead." declared W. J. Bryan at a banquet here tonight. The statement came early In his speech and the ora tor dwelt Ions upon the fact that he believed that the highest accomplish ment of the present Administration would be the restoration of what ne termed was the spirit of the f re: fathers to the institutions of the tnlted S'""mi cannot cross the United States." declared Mr. Bryan, "without passing through a state which Is governed by progressive Democrats. "Illinois has Just placed one m of fice. Ohio elected a progressive at the last election, as did Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, and It Is sid you came near to Oiling out this list of 'Western states by electing one here in Iowa. Just a day or two before I left Wash ington a new United States Senator ar rived. He was a progressive Demo crat from New Hampshire. Cabiaet Declared Progressive. "AH the members of the Coinet are Progressive Democrats and the leader In the Senate is John W. Kern, for whom .i)00.000 progressive Democrats cast their votes for Vice-President a hort time ago. More than this, the Senate -of the United States has been made progressive and the new rules of that body enable .the majority of the party to control." Secretary Bryan was in a humorous vein during a large part of the ad dress and insisted that he made the appointments in the West because he had to do Something to prevent the people from believing he would be a member of the Cabinet. He exhorted ilia officeseekers to remember that every platform of the party for the last -0 years had "placed principles before ofriceholdlng." but that the fact which appalled him was that he was not able to appoint all of his friends to office. Ovra Ability Not Doubted. He had no doubt, he declared, of his ability to perform the duties of the office to which tho President had called him. He expected to use the principles of common sense necessary In every day life in solving the prob lems of office. The same principles which enable two men to live together us neighbors for a term of years will enable this Nation to live on terms of peace with every other nation. Secretary Bryan also said ho had discovered that one of the duties he would be able to perform while Secre tary of State was the announcement to the people of the "plank I put In my Platform 23 years ago." This alone was worth accepting the office for, he said. Mr. Bryan will go to Lincoln, Neb, tor a few days' rest before going again : Washington.

Teal Tells Association Need of Publio Docks and Incinerator "The Greater Portland Flans Asso ciation might better take up the big problems of city improvement that are confronting us, than to waste their time in a scuffle with the property owuvrs on a street the widening of which will not demand their attention for years." was the sentiment expressed by J. N. Teal at the meeting of the Burnside street property owners and the members of the Greater Portland Plans Association Wednesday night to consider the plan for widening Burn t u. mAntunH thn Ross Island project for establishment of a mu nicipal incinerator ana storage and public docks as immediate needs. Mr. Teal asserted that Burnside street will be widened when the tralfic upon it demands its widening, out de nied that it will ever be widened to 120 feet, as suggested in the Bennett plans. Isaac Swett. spokesman of the Burn-side-street delegation, said that the property owners upon that street are not opposed to the widening of the street, when the growth of the city shall demand it. but that ther hold that the improvement is not needed immediately. Rodney L. Gllsan objected to the idea of a 120-foot street, bat said that he would not oppose a movement to widen it from 60 to 80 feet. Tom Richardson. G. F. Johnson, president of the Greater Portland Plans Association: Building Inspector Plum mer. Arthur Langguth and others up held the plan for widening the street. At the close of the meeting Mr. Swett suggested that at a future time representative committees from the property owners and from the associa tion be appointed to hold a conference and endeavor to reach a compromise. Several of the Burnside street repre sentatives sharply criticised Mayor Rushlight for having suggested pub licly the plan and movement to widen Burnside street. CUSTOMS PLAGES FEWER TAFT ORDER REDUCES PATROX AGE TO SENATORS. Effort Will Be Made to' Secure Ap pointment of Oregon Democrats Prior to July J. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 20. On Inquiry at the Treasury Department today, Senator Lane learned that under President Taft's order reorganizing' the customs service, Oregon Senators probably will have only one customs appointment at their disposal, that of Collector, at Portland, at 4500. All other offices, fheludtng appraiser, at $3000, and the deputy collectors at Astoria, Newport and Empire are by the Taft order brought under the civil service and ap pointments will be made by the Secre tary of the Treasury. As President Taft's order does not go into effect until July 1, there is still some doubt as to what will be done about the appraiser and deputy col lectors at the three minor ports, for until July 1 those offices continue-on the old basis and the Senators may ask that they be filled by Democrats until that time in the hope that the new appointees will be taken into the civil service when the reorganization becomes effective. T. I Duggers, of Lebanon, is added to the list of applicants for the place of collector at Newport. F. 8. Myers, of Portland, private sec retary to Senator Lane, arrived in Washington last night, after betng blizzard-bound in Kansas in the recent storm. He will not remain permanent ly with Senator Lane because of busi ness engagements. COUNCILMAN IS ARRESTED Medford Official Charged, "With Selling Liquor to Minor. MEDFORD. Or., March 20. (Special.)

Huge Ice Floes Crush Craft In Storm and Captain Witting Is Still to Report, SEATTLE. Wash, March 20. A spe cial cable to the Post-Intelligencer from Nome. Alaska, says: Sam Gottschalk, of the whaling schooner Moras, reached Nome last night after a trip of 100 miles over the broken Ice in Bering Strait, with news of the loss of the schooners Kittawack and Moras and the hardships endured by members of the crews. The two schooners were caught in the ice near the Siberian coast last Fall at the time of the freeaeup and landed boats to prepare Winter Quarters. Before the men were able to land all their pro visions or make extensive preparations for tho Winter a great storm arose and they were unable to return to their schooners. During the storm the Ice coming down from the Arctlo caught the schooners and crushed them Into a shapeless mass. The crews, consisting of Gottschalft, Koren, a naturalist, the owner of the Kittawack, Albert Gunderson and Gus Schroeder, started out in the lone re maining whaleboat In a desperate at tempt, to cross the strait through the open leads In the great ice floes to the Seward peninsula. Captain Witting; of the Moras, re fused to accompany them, believing that their attempt would end in death for all, and started south along the Siberian coast in an attempt to reach Plover Bay, where there is an Eskimo settlement. Whether he arrived there is not known. The party in the whaleboat encoun tered a terrific storm near Big Diom edes Island and their boat was smashed to splinters in the surf and ice floes when they landed. For three months the party subsist ed on walrus, living in huts construct ed of stones and ice, before they were able to . attempt the passage over the broken ice to the Seward Peninsula and Nome. The Kittiwack was a small auxiliary gas schooner of 15 gross tons. She was purchased two years ago by Koren, who went north in order to make a study of Arctic wild flowers.

In Event of Acceptance, Proportion, ate Representation Will Continue Issue In France. PARIS, March 20. Jean Barthou, Minister of Justice in the Briand Cabi net, which recently resigned, will give a definite answer tomorrow to the re quest of President Poincare, made to day, that he form a new Cabinet. He will consult with his friends regarding his decision, but it is considered prac tically certain that he will accept tlie task. M. Barthou said tonight that In the event of his acceptance, the two car dinal principles In his programme would be proportionate representation and three years' service in the army. His first endeavor, he added, would be to try to induce the Senatorial com mittee to accept the principle of rep resentation by the majorities, the de tails of which could be arranged later In a spirit of conciliation. He hoped in this way to end the deadlock be tween the two houses of Parliament. The fall of the Briand government was on the question of proportionate representation, the Senate voting ad versely on the electoral reform bill.
