After a day of long conferences In Trenton, the most important of which was with "William Jennings Bryan, President elect Wilson returned to his home, tired and ready for a rest. Mr. Wilson said frankly that, while he had talked with Mr. Bryan about men for his Cabinet, the name of the Ncbraskan was not mentioned. As to future conferences with Mr. Bryan, none was arranged or talked of, Mr. Wilson said. Slelf-Seefcrrs Get Hint. While discussing In a general way tonight the subject of patronage, the President-elect made it evident . that those who expect to Ret political ap pointments from him would better not try to manifest their ambition to him In person or apply directly to him In any way. "I have a sort of general principle." he said, "that those who apply for offices will be the least likely to get them." "Then a great number have been disqualified already?" he was asked. Tea," was the smiling reply. Applicant Gets Si Answer. The question reminded the President elect of a letter he had received from an office seeker. j "One man wrote me," replied Mr. Wilson, "aajing he was thinking of applying" and would like to know from roe personally what was the best way to go about It." The Governor was asked what his reply was to the letter. "There was no reply," he said. He added that he. of course, expected to take advice about patronage and would be guided in a great many appoint ments by members of Congress. The summoning of Mr. Bryan to dis cuss legislative policies and the per sonnel of the Cabinet was. the President-elect indicated, one of a series of steps which he Is taking to determine on the fitness of individuals for the Cabinet. Listening" to Be Specially. Mr. Wilson intends, moreover, to carry out literally his plan of being the "best listener In the United States." and expects to continue to talk "com mon sense" for some time, perhaps as late as March 1. before making final decisions or announcements. In view of Mr. Bryan's connectlpn with the drafting of the Democratic platform, the conference largely con cerned plans for carrying out platform pledges. The Governor was asked if Mr. Bryan seemed to be in favor of any precedence in tha order of legislation. "We went over the platform in a general way." replied the Governor, with no special emphasis on one plank more than another." line Weather Sloped For. .

FLAG SALUTERIFTS BOARD Salt Lake Educators Not Agreed on Compulsory Patriotism. SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 21. Wheth er or not children of the public schools here shall be compelled to salute the flag has caused a break in the ranks of the Board of Education, and the board adjourned tonight after a three hours' session without taking action. Several members of the board In sisted that the school children should be compelled to salute the flag and that their willingness and the spirit dis played In such ceremonies should be credited to their regular school work. Other members take the stand that It Is' Impossible, to Induce patriotism in children by compulsion and want to make the ceremony of saluting the flag optional with the children. The dispute arose after Lena Eyler, a 13-year-old girl, had been suspended from school because she refused to sa lute the flag. .

The inhabitants of ' the town, the special' says, fought until their am munition gave out, when the Indians, who attacked in force of several hun dred, gained entrance. Scenes of terrific slaughter fol lowed, only a few escaping to carry the tale to the outside world. The In dians retreated to the mountains, car rylng the young women with them. San Marcial is in the center of the Sonora coal district, a little more than 50 miles southeast of Hermoslllo. This is the first time so far as known here where Taquis successfully assaulted so large a town. Indiana Blaster Tactics. The Indians are said to be using mil itary tactics acquired during two years of training in Maderos forces to advantage, gathering force until they have practically what could be termed an army. All are armed with high-power rifles secured during the government service.

ENGINEER'S PLAN ADOPTED Clear Lake to Be Made Source of Territory's Benefit. STATE TO BACK PROPOSAL Board of Health Lays Foundation for One of Greatest Benefactions Ever Attempted on Pacific Coast Election neld. SALEM, Or., Dec. 21. (Special.) Laying the foundation for one of the greatest pure water supply plans ever attempted on the Pacific Coast, the State Board of Health at its annual meeting hero today adopted a report from Engineer Kelsey, which covers a pure water plan from Clear Lake to provide water for all of the cities and towns of the Willamette Valley. Some such a project was outlined by the State Board of Health many months ago and It was placed with Mr. Kelsey to work out the details. The report has been finished and 1000 copies of it will be printed. Clear Lake, 100 miles from Salem, on a bee line, the source of the Willam ette River and a lake with an Inex haustible supply of pure mountain water, was selected as the source of supply for the immense system that is contemplated. State Behind Project. The scheme, in a nutshell, i3 to place the state behind the project. The cost of realizing the dream of the members of the State Board is estimated at ap proximately $4,000,000. Co-operation, both financial and otherwise, would be demanded of all the cities and towns that come under the project, including all of them in the Willamette Valley down to Portland. '.".'.. Part of the schema would he the fur nishing of a source of supply to the State Capitol and all of the state in stitutions. . . To act as an executive head of the plan, Governor West suggested and prepared written data covering the point, that the State Board, including the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer, be given charge of condemning rights of way and acquir ing: water rights. Conference to Be Called. It is probable that a conference will be called of all the heads of cities and towns In the valley to take up discus sion of the plan and the concrete fea tures of it. While doubt has been ex pressed as to the possibility legally, at the present time of floating a bond is sue of $4,000,000 to Carry out the proj ect, the Governor has suggested that legal impediments may be swept away by a vote of the people and that the coming Legislature could prepare the road for placing the necessary amend ments before the people two years from now. It Is not at all certain that there are such legal Impediments, but this was offered as a suggestion in event such Impediments might stand in the way of bringing the idea to fruition. There are a score of cities and towns in the Willamette Valley which would benefit by this project and would probably lend their hearty support, as in many of them the water question has been a vital issue for half a cen tury or more.

Inston Athletio Club Game. SEATTLE. Wash., Dec. 21. (Spe cial.) The Multnomah Club, of Port land, today on University field tri umphed over the galaxy of stars as sembled under the guise of the Wash ington Athletic Club Dy a score of 15 to 6, but not before the scarlet and white had been treated to a terrible scare, its first real test In three years. Seattle led at the end of the first half. 6 to 0. Two thousand persons saw the game. Multnomah's scores were made In the third period, on two touchdowns by straight football, and a place-kick by Keck from the SO-yard line. Seattle counted six In the opening quarter, when Johnny Bender recovered a punt on Multnomah's 10-yard line and shot across the goal. Captain Hurlburt, of Multnomah, protested vigorously against Umpire Skeel's declaration that Rinehart had touched the ball, but to no avail. The official stood within a few feet of the play and his ruling, probably was right, although a largo number of spectators disagreed. Multnomah In Reinforced. While Multnomah carried the ball to the one-yard line in the first half, only to lose on a fumble, meanwhile doubling Seattle up In a bowknot whenever McDonald's bunch attempt ed yardage, it is doubtful If the winged "M" could have overcome the odds but for the reinforcements rushed out against the fagging constellation in the second half. O'Rourke went to tackle; Dutton, of Annapolis, to guard, and Keck to fullback, and the trans formation was remarkable. The famous Corvallls plunger, Walt Keck, Was a team in himself. Tlmo after time he reeled off brilliant end runs and spectacular off-tackle buckH.

Max Eaklns. tho old University of Washington star, was in rare form and averaged close to 47 yards on his leg offerings.
