Successors to Secretary of
War Lindley Garrison.
CHANGES IN CABINET
OPPOSED BY WILSON
But Goethals May Prefer to
Stayv With Canal Job
Baker Considered.
. ..Washington, Feb. 12, (I. N. S.)
Speculation continued unabated today
concerning the choice President WH
on will make from amons; the list
of names -suggested as qualified suc
cessors to LJndley M. Garrison as sec
retary of war. In well Informed quar
ter belief la expressed that the presi
dent 'Will make known his selection
soon after his return from the 6ruise
down the bay on the Mayfldwer, either
tomorrow or aionoay.
- Reports that Secretary of the In
terior Lane and Secretary of Agricul
ture Houston stand the best chances
of becoming the two men between
whom the president will make his final
choice, were - discredited In Influentir
quarters today on the grounds that the
president res a deep-seated disinclina
tion to permit cabinet changes for any
reason other than actual resignation.
Cabinet Expect Ho Change.
' Neither Secretary Lane nor Secre
tary Houston expects to be transferred
from their respective departments and
these who are In closest touch with
the president consider such a step on
his part out of the question.
Everywhere the suggestion that the
war. secretaryship would go to Gen
eral George W, Goethals was haed
With Satisfaction. 1 .
' Tm'the other hand, it was generally
understood that General Goethals
.would not consider accepting transfer
from his post as governor of the canal
zone until the canal Is in successful
operation.
Friends of Newton - Baker- declare
they, have reason to believe the presl-
his qualifications - for the poet and
that in the event, of General Goethals
declining it Mr v Baker ' undoubtedly
' Goethals or Baker Discussed.
Tf the report that the president de
termined to choose -a man from out
side Ma cabinet in order to avoid any
lnterdepartment transfers- la correct, it
is considered probable that either Gen
eral Goethals or Mr, Baker op some
Individual who has thus far not been
named will get the portfolio.
The news that Mr, Garrison intends
to return soon to Washington was
received here with much anticipatory
interest.-' His statement that he is
ready to give his successor the bene
fit of everything he knows about run-nlng-the
war department It taken to
mean that the former secretary may
remain In Washington for some time,
acting; in an advisory capacity for
the benefit of the new departmental
chief.
Kach TJaflnlsbed Work. .
Although it is customary for a re
tiring secretary to assist in the in
duction of his successor into office,
Mr. Garrison may do very much more
than this If his intentions as re
ported in New York dispatches may
be taken literally. There is an un-
uvuwijr luge wuouui ux important
unfinished military matters awaiting
final action.
Major General Hugh I. Scott, chief
of -staff of the-army, and temporarily

important matter of policy .that en
gaged tba attention of Mr. Garrison

Among these pending matters which
must- come before the next civilian
secretary for : determination are the
oourtmartial of Lieutenant - Colonel
Lewis E2. - Goodier of Judge advocate
generals-department, and the case of
Major Langhorne, formerly United
States attache at Berlin, who is said
to have brought important letters to
the German embassy in Washington,
Mr. Garrison' reviewed the Goodier
oaae, but. did not submit It to the
presidents He was about to investi
gate the case -of Major Langhorne to
see if eourtmartial proceedings were
warranted. i -, ; - i:
Reports that the president might de

among friends of , Mr. Tumulty, who
say he has no particultr fondness for

Find ell Hot , Considered.
- It is stated in some quarters, how
ever, that Mr. Tumulty has an excel
lent chance of being elevated to the
cabinet if the appointment of a new
aeoretary of war creates a vacancy in
any of the departments.
The Inclusion of , the name of Henry
M. Pindell among those said to be
. under consideration by i the president
was explained today by a high offi

Portland is ready this mornln gf or
the biggest missionary convention ever
held in this city. It is the Laymen's
Missionary Movement convention, which
will open at S o'clock this afternoon in-
the White Temple, Twelfth and Taylor
streets.
Speakers are here with .messages
from all parts of the globe. Conditions
will be pictured as they really exist.
Big problems that the Christian world
Is now facing will be discussed by
men who are leaders in the Christian
thought of the world.
To hear these men more than 1800
men have registered and paid a fee of
$1. which -will entitle them to admis
sion to all the sessions during the four
days the convention will last.,' ,-This
registration is' expected to be increased
by several hundred ae soon as the con
vention opens. For instance, yesterday
noon, after Fred. B. Fisher , of - New
York, convention leader, addressed the
300 men who were at - the committee
luncheon. A. C. Schmitt, president of
the First National bank of Albany and
of the state -Y, M. C. A., sent a tele
gram to bis business associates to Im
mediately organize a big delegation at'
Albany and come to the convention. - He
said he had not before realized what
the movement meant.
Portland Beat Prepared. ,
This convention is one of the 75
being held In the United States, and
Mr. Fisher, -convention- team leader,
said better preparation has been made
here than in any city so far where
i conventions have been held. The noon
day luncheons that have been held by
the soliciting committees, the method
of - checking : up delegates, and the
lively and: enthusiastic spirit which
prevails he . -declared surpassed any
thing he has seen, i - .
"It took 100 years, from ,180s to
1906, to get the people of America to
a place where they were giving $8,
000.000 for foreign missions," said Mr,
Fisher. In the last , nine .years this
has been multiplied by more than two.
This country is now giving $19, 500,000
a year to missions. S i "point to this aa
evidence of the growing . interest in
missions. - -

Just what this remarkable cbange is,
men -well up in local Insurance circles

thinks the end of the war is In eight.
Birlem said: "I am in receipt of " a

some remarkable change in the situ

searching the city for Jean Crones, as
sistant chef of the University club, ac
cused, by -H. J. Dohsrty; manager of
the club, of having placed the arsenic
in the soup. Crones disappeared Just
before the so'up was served, and as he
had prepared the chicken meat nans or
melds that were tne case xor tne soup,
he is Suspected of placing the poison
where it would do its deadly work.
Crones' rooms at 22Q1 Prairie ave

were found, together with anarch
istic literature. Besides the books of
Emma Goldman and other revolution
ists, a quart Jar of nitro glycerine.

On the other hand, according to

few hours dead.- ,
"I ' have studied anarchists ever

Schuettler. "and I would not be sur
prised to find Crones had ended bis
own. life in the belief that ha had done
his dutv to his creed. ; One of the
mottoes of the anarchists is Whn

think the man that ; placed the poison
in the soup was capable of giving his

-Another police theory f- is that the
arrest of Crones may see a repetition
of the Haymarket tragedy. The nitro-

been accounted for and it is the belief
of some policemen - that he may- oe
