The state department building t i W8hingtont together with four
men who are possible candidates for occupation March . 4 namely
reading from left to right, Eliha Root, Theodore E. Uurton, Henry Cabot
Lodge and David Jayne Hill. - ' . 1 ' , -
Washington, i. C. Nov. ,12. To fill
his portfolio of state will probably be
one of the most delicate undertaking
which President-elect William H. Tstt
has upon his bands. - The secretary of
mate Is thedeader of the cabinet. He
! only two places removed from the
presidency In " Importance and- Inheri
tance. He Is the guardian of American
International honor. With American ta-terests-
expanding and developing
throughout the world, he become the
messenger and protector of American
expansion, and he is the great American
governmental missionary of the world.
There Is no vouchsafing the idea that
the present Incumbent in the portfolio
of state eould succeed himself if he de
sired. Klihu Root is one of the biggest
men the United States has ever devel
oped. He la one of the most -successful
state Becretsrlesr : which has ever pre
sided over the state department, Mr.
Taft would, like nothing better than he
should remain in charge. But Mr. Boot
Is not too nigged, nor physically strong.
.Ha will undoubtedly desire to lay down
lvls burdens when the administration of
Jresident. Roosevelt ends. In such an
event there are three names which rise
to the lips of cabinet prophets.
Henry Cabot Iiodge of Massachusetts
would be probably' the logical second
rholce for the position. . No one will
deny 'nis perfect qualifications for the
Place. He 18 a scjioiar ana jl aiciumm
hi
nd a warm adviser of Taft. Ha pre-
Irii.rt nver the Taft convention at C
cngo. But lidge la in the United (states
senate from' Massachusetts with a. life
mortgagej and It is doubtful whether
he would prefer the temporary honor
of the cabinet1 to the permanent toga of
the senate. -
Immediately, then. Congressman
Theodore E. Burton ; of Cleveland be
comes an Insistent possibility. Con
gTessmanBurton is another man of di
plomat Ic Q-t e mperam en t and perect
qualifications, ' : He, too. Is a Taft ad
viser. He nominated Taft in the Chi
cago, convention. He hail from Taft's
home state,' which will expect to con
tribute 5 liberally 1 to the new cabinet.
He Is a logical bosslblllty from every
viewpoint nd there is no good reason
why he should not accept the Job if of
fered him. t
It would, therefore, seem quite
probable that - the next secretary of
atate will either be Theodore K. Burton
of. Ohio, or the man who looms large
upon the diplomatic horiron as worthy
of the Job Dr. David Jayne Hill, Amer
ican ambassador to Germany. It has
frequently been hinted that the resi
dence of Dr. Hill at Berlin was never
Intended to be permanent. If not in
tended to be permanent there can be no
question but that the plan has been to
bring Hill Into the official family of
the nation's leader. He completes the
quartet of possibilities for the portfolio
of state, and it Is a safe bet that the
coming occupant has been named.
ATTELL AND WELSH ,
PREPARE FOR FIGHT
(thdtea Prws Leases Wlra.1
Los Angeles. CaU, Nov. 18. Abe Attell
and Freddie Welsh will start active
work today for their scheduled 16-round
battle before the Jeffries, Athletio club
Thanksgiving eve. .-.
Monte Attell. brother of th feather
weight champion, arrived In Ios An
geles weanesaay ana went imuieui&wijr
to Jack Doyle's camp at Vernon, where
Abe is to train. .
Freddie Welsh has decided to work
at the Venice Athletio club; Freddie
has trained for two fights at the seaside
resort and haa an idea that the weather
til ere agrees with him.
Jim Jeffries and his partner, Jack
Klpoer, have opened a big betting es
tablishment to be known as the Jef
fries Commission house Sammy Kor-
fier, the book-maker, has been placed
n charge. Jeffries will conduct the
nlnr at hla Rnrintr ittreet resort.
Korper reported Wednesday that bet
ting on the Attell-Welsh fight had
opened at evens. Korper also reports
a big commiaalon4,received to place on
Billy Papke at 9 to 10.
Next on the pugilistic program comes
the Wolgast-"Bubblea" Robinson ten
rounder scheduled for Tom McCarey's
Naud Junction barn tomorrow night.
Wolarast has been made the subject of
considerable criticism since his arrival
here owing to a withdrawal from the
Attell match. The little fellow is more
than anxious to knock Robinson out and
the go should be a "hummer."

or Portland Friday night to engage in
the championship tournament there Sat
urday. Players from Tacoma, Seattle,

SHEEIFF FILES SUIT
ON W. B. GATE'S BOND
PRESENT FROM OLD COLLEGE::
CHUMS IS FOLLOWED BY BILL
An express package much Ilk those
common about Christina time drift
ed into th Federal building the
other day. It was addressed: "Mr. C
J.- Reeve, United States district -attorney."
It was quite evident that on the
inside was a gift for someone. On the
outside were the names Burch & Mur
phy or tjnicago. ,i ,
The Initials and everything considered
An echo of the Hawthorne estate's
troubles with W. B, Cats waa heard in
the circuit court this morning, when
suit was died by Sheriff George I. Han
cock of Washington county against
Gustave Frlewald and J. A. Imbrie to
enforce payment of a redelivery bond
given by the defendants to Hancock's
predecessor In office, John W. Connell.
Last year Mrs. Rachel U Hawthorne
sued W. B. Cate in Washington county
and filed a garnishment for $3,760. The
defendants gave a redelivery bond for
the amount involved, agreeing to se
cure the sheriff against Iohs if the case
went against the defendant. In March
of the presimt year the circuit court in
Washington county gave judgment , for
Mrs. Hawthorne for- $1,600.
Sheriff Hancock says only $539.80 has
been paid on. the bond, leaving $2,882
due.
it was finally agreed that the present
belonged to C J. Reed, United States
marshal, owinv to the similarity of
names. So the bundle was unpacked.
The cutest little brdjise bust of Presi
dent Roosevelt, that one ever saw was
revealed. Mr. Reed waa sure that the
gift waa for him. There was no ques
tion about it. In fact Didn't he know
Buroh & Murphy well? Hadn't he gone
to school with them year and years
ago? Hadn't he been looking for them
to aena him soraeimng nice iui
long time? Sure he had.
While John McCourt Is district at
torney, he didn't have much of a claim
for the
on the bronse place because be couldn t
figure out any, way how the name
"Reeve" might hava been mistaken for
that of "MoCourU" And as Mr. Reed
and Mesr Burch & Murphy, th send
ers, were old college chums, he let it
go at that. - - " - ,
Yesterday Mr. Reed wrote a long let
ter to the Chicago men telling them of
hi, appreciation of th remembrance
they had bestowed upon him.
This morning a bill cam
bronse bust. It was i for $6. , ' - ,
"Th perfidy of Burch and th' In
gratitude of Murphv." Mr. Reed , an
nounced at once. "Ail the old college
tradition of loyalty and all that sort of
thing have been ,busted been shattered
beyond recall." '
An effort was made to pa th bust
and th bill along to Mr. McCourt.
Mr. McCourt laughed. He said there
mr.a nnthlnor Aanm. Now the marsha1
la endeavoring to overtake that letter of
thanks. on Its way to uurcn murpn
somewhere between Portland and
cago. , 1
BIG POLICEMAN FOILS SMALL -BOY'S
ATTEMPT TO TURN HOBO

With that equipment WiUle Meyer, aged
11 and with a marveloualy dirty face,
started to see the world last night. He
got aa far as the Union avenue bridge
across Sullivan's gulch.
When Patrolman Addison found Wil
lie Just before 6 o'clock this morning,
he waa lying by the side of a fire he
had built on the bank of th gulch.
"I'm gning to be a sure-enough hobo,"
aid Willie.
The policeman asked him where bis
J parent lived..''' .
"At 143 East Third," replied th young
tramp a he -rose from his improvised
couoh by the embers,
Addison and Willie walked to the
house in question. . ,
"For Rent," said a sign nailed on the
front of the house.' That ended the
search for Willie' parents, and he went
to JalL . '
This morning the boy told the officer
hla father and mother manage the Tem-
fileton lodging house, at First and Tay
or streets. He waa turned over to the
Juvenile court, after his face and hands
nad been given a washing. .
