THE STJXDAY OREGONTAX. rORTLAXD. JAXTJART 19, 1913, " - t 7 v DECLINATIONS HOT IH WILSON'S PLANS Cabinet Not Chosen, but When It Is, Those Honored Are Expected to Accept. SACRIFICE IS NECESSARY Inaugural chairman Submits Reply to tetter Recommending Elim ination of Ball Week at Trenton to Be Bus;. PRI.N'CETON". X. J., Jan. 18. Presi dent-elect Wilson reiterated tonight that he bad made no decision as to the personnel of his Cabinet, and added that thus far he had not consclen tiously conferred with any prospective candidates. "I couldn't do that." he said, "until I bad made up my mind to pick a man. I haven't conscientiously con- aulted with any future Cabinet mem bers." and added as an afterthought, "though I might have consulted with some men whom I might subsequently choose." Mr. Wilson again expressed hla be lief that it was unlikely any of the men whom he selected for Ills Cabinet would decline to accept the portfolios offered them. It bad been suggested to him that many men were loath to give up their business to enter the Cabinet. He said he realized the sac rifices that were sometimes necessary. Powltloa Fall of RmpoaMlhlllty. "A Cabinet poFltlon, too," he re marked, "is a very responsible one. where you don't get very much ereait for your successes and catch It hard for your failures. Tie expected little delay, however, he said, in getting acceptances from such men as he mlcht choose for the various portfolios, and said that not until he bad made up a slate would he begin to consult those whom he had picked out, When Mr. Wilson was Informed to night that persons In Washington were taking It for granted that a popular reception would be substituted for the Inaugural ball he said he had expected to receive suggestions along that line. Inaugural plaa. Submitted. "I assumed." be said, "that something would be substituted. I rather hoped that Mr. Eustis would lay some plan before me." William Corcoran Eustis. the. In augural chairman, was reported to have mailed his reply today to the Governor's letter recommending the elimination of the ball from the in augural festivities. The Governor said he had not yet received it and probably would not until he reached his office in the Statebouse at Trenton on Mon day. The Governor said he expected busy days next week in the New Jersey legislature. He will ask State Senator Davis to Introduce on Monday the sev eral corporation bills that have been drafted by the Governor, Judge Ben net Van Syckle and Chancellor Edwin Walker. and rejecting bills. The organization work is all complete, committees have been appointed and approved and bills referred for their consideration. They will begin to report back Monday. From then until the session ends, March 13, it Is expected the legislators will have work enough to keep them busy day and night. To be considered Monday in the House and probably Tuesday in the Senate is a joint resolution from the House committee on appropriations providing for a junket of the entire Legislature over the state to inspect tne -arious institutions and the proposed Pacific Highway bridge over the Co lumbia P.iver between Portland and Vancouver. Wash. It is the plan of the appropriations committee to charter a special train for the legislators and' to have them make the trip as quickly as possible. "Good times will be pro hiblted. The chances of this resolution being adopted are uncertain. A move will be made by some members to have only a part of the Legislature take the trip. If the entire body goes the special train Tomorrow, Monday-a Day to Remember! OREGflX CITY MAX. WHO FIRST CAME WEST DIRIG CALI FORNIA GOLD HISH, IS LAID TO REST. BULL MOOSE RUSH WAGON (Continued From First PairO Republicans should get things lined, op fo Progressive support, as well as lemocratic, could be counted on if needed. There are not enough Progres sives and Democrats In the House to control it by combining the two strengths. Political Play Interests. Interest centers around the political side of affairs the rest of the session because of the certainty of politics playing an Important part In the coming considerations. It Is believed there will be a doflnite lineup of fac tions before the end of next week. At the opening of the session Mon day the combination dictdted on the question of Speaker and chief clerk of the House. Later in the week it said who would get the numerous jobs in the House. It forgot that there was any such thing as a Bull Mooser. Even where Progressives signed petitions asking that certain clerks from their home districts be given clerkships the choice of the combination prevailed. And lastly tho combination gobbled up all the important committee chair manships and assignments. A study of the assignments announced by Speaker Taylor shows how the predominate party can rule. The Progressives, with 2S members in the House, got eight unimportant committee chair manships and practically no assign ments to important committees. Demo crats, with 18 members in the House, got 11 chairmanships and numerous important committee assignments. The Republicans, who control the House by one vote, got SS chairmanships and all the Important committee assignments. In the Senate a similar combination elected Republicans to the presidency pro tern, and selected help that met with the desire of the Republican and Democratic members. The combina tion after organizing the Senate suf fered a severe shakeup which left the body with each of the three parties fighting its own battles. The Repub licans have maintained a solid control. Huvr !pllt Cane About. The split of the Democratic-Republican combination in the Senate came as a result of the desire of Repub licans to confirm Republican appoint ment made by Governor Hay. In confirming these appointments the Re publicans will make it necessary for Governor Lister, who took office Wednesday, to discharge the men and in so doing show his purpose to be political rather than the improvement of the state's service. In the House there is a decided un certainty as to how long the Republican-Democratic combination will stand. There may be a split within a day or two. when proposed expenditures arise. The Democratic administration will at tempt to pursue an economical course and there is every likelihood of an at tempt to force through all kinds of ex penditure bills. The first week of the 13th ses sion of the Legislature ihas seen un usual activity on the part of radicals and fathers of freak legislation. Twenty-six out of 71 bills introduced during the week in the House were of a freakish or radical nature. In the Senate 20 out of 49 were freakish. In the measures proposed can be seen a most interesting array of whims, fan cies and hobbles fostered by legisla tors and their constituents. The major ity of these bills will be slaughtered oy committees t- which they have boen as signed. F-araeat Work Camea Now.

It is be lieved the. majority of the members of the House are In favor of the trip. The Senate is very uncertain. Chairman Davis, of the House committee, says he considers the proposed new form of Junketing a step in advance. Old Plan In Disfavor. 'Heretofore, he said today, "we have been In the habit of sending one or two members of the House or Senate to investigate a proposition and wheu the . committee makes its report the rest of the Legislature Is still in doubt because of prejudice or fear that the committee might have overlooked something. "Under the proposed new system every member of both Houses gets to see and hear the needs of the state and can better vote when the time cornea" The House, at a short session Satur day, received a report from the com mittee on banks and banking recom mending the imposing of a tax on bank stocks. The report was adopted. Among bills introduced were the following: A bill by Representative Chrlstensen to require all street railway companies to heat their cars during the Winter months.

TRACKS CLEAR OF DRIFTS Steam Lines Experience Some Trou ble From Minor 1 Wrecks and Slides, but -Quickly Recover. Electric Roads Uninjured. Trains are running in and out of Portland virtually on time after ex periencing more or lesB delay on ac count of the storm. Tracks on the Xorth Bank and the Northern Pacific, each of which was the scene of a wreck, were cleared, late yesterday afternoon and traffic was restored. The railroads suffered also from wire trouble and difficulty in dispatching trains, as well as track troubles, de layed the operation of trains. Wires on the O.-W. R. & N. main line were down nearly all day, yesterday and for a time it was hard to get news from the eastern end of the line. The usual difficulty was experienced In the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon, where the snow always falls to a con siderable depth. A snowsltde between Bonneville and Cascade Locks made things look blue for a time yesterday morning and re quired the attention of a large force of men. M. J. Buckley, assistant gen eral manager, gave this job his per sonal attention. Snovf Drift on Track. Over on the Washington division, around Spokane and Wallace, Idaho, J. D. Stack, assistant general manager, had a rotary at work cleaning up the drifts that had formed earlier in the week. Yesterday's storm added to his labors. Service between Portland and Spokane has not suffered much. ' Aside from a rear-end collision near Towal yosterday morning, the North Bank did not suffer. This accident saused a detour of trains around the wreck via the O.-W. It. & N. tracks and delayed traffic In and out of Portland all day. The wreck was cleared late in the afternoon and No. 4 leaving here last night went through on the regular track. It was after 3 o'clock yesterday aft ernoon when the landslide on the Northern Pacific near Castle Rock was cleared away. A temporary track serves to carry the trains around the wreckage. This accident affected all service between Portland ana seame. but trains due from the north last night came in virtually on time. Eleetrlc Lines Uninjured. The electric lines did not suffer. The United Railways, the Oregon Electric and the suburban lines of tne Portland Railway, Light & Power Company were oDen all day. Southern racific trains from the south were late, but this tardiness was duo rather to adverse conditions in California than to the storm in Oregon. The Shasta Limited was about four hours late yesterday afternoon. The morning trains from California came in only a few minutes aneaa ot me Shasta. The branch lines in various parts of the state suffered most. The Oregon Trunk and the Deschutes line of the O.-W. R. & N. Company were tied up for a while the former road by a lit tle landslide and the latter by snow. As the railroads are pretty well pre. pared to handle snow, traffic did not suffer appreciably.
