FRANCE SHOWS UNANIMITY
FORM NEW CABINET
Press Without Beftard to Party Is
Favorable to President-elect
and Crowds Acclaim Him as
He Goes to Paris.
PAKIS, Jan. 18. Preslflent Failures
today Invited Aristlde Briand. the Min
ister of Justice, to formate a Cabinet
in succession to the retiring Poincare
ministry.
The President, following the usual
custom, consulted with Antonin Du
bost and Paul Peschanel, President
of the Senate and President of the
Chamber of Deputies, respectively, be
fore offering the task to M. Briand.
After a talk with M. Fallieres, M.
Briand. replied that he would consult
his political friends and give the
President a definite answer tomorrow.
Briand Likely to Accept.
M. Briand's attitude Is assumed gen
erally to favor his acceptance of the
Premiership. Either Leon Bourgeois,
Minister of Labor, or Stephen Plnchon,
ex-Minlster for Foreign Affairs, will be
asked. It is understood, to take the
foreign portfolio in the new ministry.
The French Cabinet minisiers for
mally resigned today as a sequel to
yesterday's election. President Fal
lieres requested them to retuin their
portfolios until successors have been
chosen. Newspapers, even those pro
fessing monarchistic and clerical ten
dencies, comment on Poincare with fa
vor and with unanimity unprecedented
in French politics.
Crowds (ireet President-Elect.
The Journey of President-elect Poin
care from the palace at Versailles to
Paris after the election yesterday was
one long triumphant progress. When
his automobile emerged through the
chateau gates at Versailles, Poincare
was greeted by round after round of
cheers by crowds that accompanied him
to the railway station.
The station here was a crush of hu
manity. As the train bearing the President-elect
came In, a 'hush fell upon
the crowd, but as M.Poincare. escorted
by Minister of Justice Briand and M.
Lepine, the Prefect of Police, appeared,
a great shout went up.
Poincare drove to the Elysees Palace,
where President Fallieres received him
cordially and congratulated him. The
President and the President-elect af
fectionately embraced one another.
House Filled Wllfc Flowc.
Practically all the Inhabitants of the
interior had gathered outside of Poin
care's borne, and there was continued
cheers, while telegraph messengers
brought scores of felicitations. A huge
basket placed In the vestibule of
the President-elect's residence contain
ing cards of congratulations soon was
overflowing, and the house soon was
tilled with flowers.
The news of the election of Poincare
spread quickly, and everywhere pro
voked sentiment of the liveliest satis
faction. Large crowds massed about
the principal newspaper offices to re
ceive the bulletins from Versailles.
Manifestations ostensibly of a patriotic
character were organized In the central
districts and parades headed by the
National flag marched up and down the
boulevards shouting "Long live Poin
care! Long live the Republic!"
Vaanlmlty Surprises Observers.
The unanimity of the French people
after the election Is commented on by
foreign observers generally, although
they make no pretense of being able
to give a wholly satisfactory explana
- tion. Kven yesterday there were some
signs of bitterness: today all is friend
ship. The President-elect has been
regarded as a Conservative, yet he owes
his election in larsre measure to the
Socialists, who threw their strength to
Mm on the second ballot, instead of to
his leading opponent. M. Tarns, who
had counted on receiving it. The re
sult is a virtual union, sentimentally
and politically, of the most radically
opposing elements of the republic
There is no iotiht the European ten
sion has a good deal to do with bring'
ing about this situation. French
men, whatever their disposition to bat
tle politically in their domestic affairs,
are prone to unite at critical times In
the face of a common langer. Paris
does not regard the Balkan situation
.as settled beyond the possibility of in
volving the Continent In a devastating
war and France Is determined to do its
part, if eventualities come, to preserve
tJie honor of the nation.
M. Poinralre has the confidence of
all classes so far as his' foreign policy
may be concerned and the determina
tion to show other nations that they
were dealing, in the case of France,
with & nation absolutely united, is be
lieved to have been the Inspiration of
the wave of enthusiasm and patriotism
tl'at swept over France today from one
cnu of the country to the other.

ATTORNEY UNDER ARREST
Tacoma Lawyer Charged With Intro

TACOMA, WaslCjan. 18. (Special.)
Attorney .1. Matthew Murray was ar
rested today on complaint of Prosecut

troducing perjured testimony in tho
case of Tom Gooden. a colored chauf
feur freed early this week from a
charge of attempted murder.
Gooden and E. J. Gordon were given
the "third degree" and confessed to
Captain of Detectives Fitzgerald and
Deputy Prosecutor Askren that their
testimony had been a fabrication, in
vented for the sole purpose of freeing
Gooden. In their joint confession they
implicated Murray by asserting that
he paid the price for Gordon's testi

tributed to Murray. Murray denies
the charge.
Both Gordon and Gooden are being
held on charges of perjury.
Attorney Murray was a short time

BIG CANAL GUARD URGED
Goethals Declares 25,000 Men for
Isthmus Are Xeeded.
WASHINGTON, "jail. 18. A garrison
of 25,000 men will be necessary to
guard the Panama Canal, Colonel
Goethals told the House naval affairs
committee today. Under present plans
Congress would provide for a garrison
of only 8000 men.
"Once we lost control of the sea In
a war." he said. "We would have to
depend upon the garrison on the Zone.
We could not expect to get reinforce
ments there from the United States."
Colonel Goethals lauded the work
done by the marines in the Canal Zone
and urged the retention of a consider
able force of marines there. His state
ment that the canal could hardly be
held If the United States lost control
of the sea aroused much interest in
the committee and later In the day
Representative Hobson, of Alabama,
urging provision for a larger Army In
the debate on the military appropria
tion bill, quoted Colonel Goethals at
length.
INCORPORATION IS PLANNED

WASHINGTON; Jan. 18. -The Ameri

thors in he United States. The mem
bership of the academy would be re
stricted to 50, and the Institute would
be limited to 250.
