REFUSES TO TELL
President-Elect Will Not' Con
firm Burton Rumor.
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. He will hand
language to our world neighbors that, will

sioned fare-you-well"

Piano Plant Sold Because of Fierce
Competition Dividends in Six
Years Are $21,000,000, Ac
cording to Vice-President. '
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo. Dec. J.
How the International Harvester Com
pany of America obtained control of
several of its subsidiary plants was
told today when the hearing- of the
ouster suit of the State of Missouri
against the company was resumed be
fore Theodore Brace, Special Commis
sioner. 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. Mr. Jones said that be
was willing- to sell the Piano plant
because fierce competition had de
moralized his business and there was
no money- in sight for dividend pay
ments. 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

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.

Konnda the Arms and Neck.
(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.
