NAME ALL AT SAME TIME .Personnel of Cabinet to Be Giveu Official Publication Burton May Jteceive Either Treas ury or State .Portfolio. HOT SPRINGS. Va., Dec. 3. President elect Taft made it decidedly plain today that no Information for publication might be expected from him regarding the make-up of hia Cabinet until he ia ready to make the official announcement of the wittre Cabinet. Acting on this declara tion, he declined to discuss the report from Cleveland that Representative The odore. H. Burton, of Ohio, had been of fered, the Treasury portfolio. The present situation with respect to the matter is understood to be that Mr. Burton has been told by II r. Taft that he may be invited to accept a Cabinet position, and that either the Treasury or tHate Department may be available in this connection. Should he fail in his am bition for the Senate, it ta regarded as a good guees that he will be a Cabinet offi cer. Mr. Taft has heretofore spoken very highly of Mr. Burton. P.CRTOX II I' MAX ACID TEST Iro-cctive Secretary of Slale Xot Easy Mark. In the current issue of the Saturday Kvening Post, the "Who's Who" man says of Burton: "Theodore E. Burton is the Human Acid Test. He ia the living Show Me. Any gwntlemanly statesman and patriot who i-an slide a proposition past Burton with out taking oTT the wrappings, removing the box, and exposing the contents to th full glare of the noonday sun is en titled to all he gts. and more. "You see, Mr. Burton is chairman of the committee on rivers and harbore in the House of Representatives. He j the ivcddler of the pork. He is the promul Krftor of the perks. He makes up that lovely, lovely bill which, now and then, wiwn the need is pressing and the boys must have something for their dis tricts to come back on or not come back, distributes a few millions, anywhere from ".OOOArt) to 100.XiO.(iO. around the naviga ble waters of tlie.L'nlted Slates for such ndurinff monuments to the generosity of Uncle Sam as breakwaters, dredged hannels. harbor improvements and all that sort of thing. When Is a Iliver Navigable? "When, runs Hie House conundrum, ia a river navigable? And the answer is: When it is in a close district. But that is the theoretical, the majority answer. The real one Is: When Burton thinks it Is navigable. If the members had their undisputed say about it there wouldn't be a creek between Mattawamkeag in Maine and the Quillayute in Washington that would not be declared navigable, enthusiastically, and have an appropria tion for dredging to make it so. "He is a reasonably set man, is Bur ton, calm, serious and not emotional. They say he is the greatest student in the House, and It may be so. Certainly there is less of the frivolous about him tiiau any other member. You would no more think of Burton doing anything not strictly conventional and rigidly circum spect than you -would of hearing that Nick Longworth had written . book on the molecular theory of the universe. Burton couldn't. He is not constructed that -way. His specialty Is thinking deep and profound thoughts and putting them on view in a sedata and solemn way. In Eight Congresses. "He Aa been in eight Congresses, he ginning in the 5l8t, but deing defeated for the 52d and not getting back until the 54th. They ran him for Mayor of Cleve land a time ago. but Tom Johnson cleaned him up. He has been re-elected to the 61t Congress, which shows that he Is prudent &s well as studlous,v for he is likely to be a candidate for Senator to succeed Foraker, and there Is talk, already, that he may go into Tuft's Cab inet as Secretary of State, provided Mr. Root is elected to the Senate from New York State to succeed Thomas C. Piatt. In any event he has two years more of Congress, nor was it necessary for rum to let go while he was trying the expert ment of running for Mayor. "It isn't likely that Burton ever told a Joke In his life. Everything Is seriouB with him. He wants mental problems, not mental pabulum. He is one of our hardest thinkers. Almost any time you can observe him at his desk, thinking away over In the back of the book, thinking in a large, rectangular manner, and, presently, arising and presenting his thoughts in a large, rectangular way iHample Moore brought the Five OclocH Club over from Philadelphia to Washing ton one night, and gave a dinner to the members of the Gridiron Club and a lot of miscellaneous statesmen. Of course, ail Philadelphia is Interested In the 33 foot channel for the Delaware River, and Hample incautiously led up to that when he Introduced Burton to the -banqueters. Burton followed the lead; you bet he fol lowed it. followed it ?or more than an hour, with a few. well-chosen, serious re marks on all phases of river and harbor work, from rainfall to artesian wells. It gave Hampie's dinner a lovely start. Is Big Man. "However, why deprecate any man for his trend of mind? Especially when his mind is as fine and as well-ordered as Burton's for. serious as he jnay be. he is a big fellow, versed In Governmental affairs and with more real ability than all the rest of the Ohio delegation com bined. And. Cear brethren. If he does get to be Secretary of State you may rest as sured that when he prepares a state paper it will be calm and dignified and sedate and properly solemn.

Vice-President William H. Jones of Foster, Cal., and J. J. Glass -ner of Chicago, of the International Harvester Company of New Jersey, were the "witnesses. Mr. Jones told of a visit to New York In 1902, which, he said, he made at the request of Judge Gary, of the United States Steel Corporation. Judge Gary Introduced him to George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co., who requested him to sell a plant at Piano, 111. When the check of sale was signed, said Mr. Jones, all property In volved was turned over to a Mr. Lane to bold until the organization of a hew company.

The sale took place July 24, 1S02. Liarge Capital Stock. When the new company was formed it had J120,000,000 capital of which J60. 000,000 was in cash and an equal amount In stock certificates of the consolidated companies. He said that the International Harvester Company has paid dividends since 1902 of $21, 150.000. and has . a surplus of $12. 000,000. He added that the increase of about 5 per .cent In the selling: price of harvesters had been caused by in creased cost of labor and material. Mr. Jones testified that the new company bought outright the Milwau kee Harvester Company of Wisconsin, and changed its name to the Interna tional Harvester Company of America, This Is the company that does busi ness in Missouri as an agent of the New Jersey corporation. Mr. Jones ended his testimony by contending that the consolidated com pany had not destroyed competition In the harvester business. Each wit ness asserted that there was no "trust agreement" involved in the organization. of the 'Agricultural Department, .which it is the purpose of Secretary Wilson to send to California and afterward to Flor ida, where there are no refrigerating plants, to conduct experiments with fruit by cooling it immediately at the orchards. The car is said to be capable of produc ing a temperature of la degrees below zero. A general talk on cold storage was given by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley. Chief Chem'st of the Department of Agriculture, who contended that it -was more advantageous to cool produce tnan to freeze it. as freez ing, he said, unquestionably altered its natural condition.

(BY CLARA BELLE M.) (From Chicago Examiner.) . "Speaking- from my own per sonal experience and from ob servation of many whom I have successfully treated In the past two years, I should say that Madame Moneaux really owed her great success as a beauty specialist to the use of a simple preparation which is used ex--cluslvely to develop the bust, arms and neck. I became ac quainted with this formula and havo used It ever since, much to tile delight of patrons. "If your bust lacks develop ment or firmness you can rely on both increase and firmness from the persistent use of the following: Obtain from the drug gist two ounces of glycerine and one ounce tincture cadomene compound, mix and let stand several hours then add a tea spoonful of borax and three ounces of rosewater. Shake well and apply to the neck, arms and bust, rubbing and massaging until it Is completely absorbed; then wash the parts treated with very hot water and soap and dry thoroughly. Apply the treatment morning and night regularly for several weeks or months as the case may require, and the most exquisite firmness and rounding out of hollow places will reward you.
