Lansing called the cabinet together to func tlon dtirinf the lllftesi bt Pfesldent VtUhbti, but though an official re btikt for summortins; the cabinet without authority was Issued at the time, no meeting Of the Cabinet has since been called, by the president himself. Every Tuesday an Friday members ot the cabinetespecially the new ones -ait eagerly for the mystic ring on the telephone from the operator at the White House switchboard telling them they are to etperienee the thrill of thelrJ first cabinet meeting. But many Tues days and many Fridays hare gona by And hot a vord from the president. Mr, Wltann fltUM rft well enough to take motor rides in parks and the Vlrg-inla hills and to transact official business for an hour or so a day. but the strain of a cabinet meeting is evidently too much fof him yet. fll&KK HEW FACES Th president has a brand new secre tary of commerce, secretary of agrlcul tur. secretary of the interior and sec .. f atat snd though, fcavld f. ttouston sat in the agf Ictiltuf el chair be tM ht now rtoe o closer t the throne and occupy the chair of the .wr.taty of the treasury. Attorney general Palmer is really a new comer. Only the familiar faces of Newton p, Baker, secretary of war ! Joseph Daniels .,,, nr ih. nnv: William B. Wil son, secretary of labor, and Postmaster General Burleson remain i.'. . .i,,riv twilitu-al cabinet, never thcless, and the kind Mr. Wilson has been anxious to call together frofn the beginning. The president likes men Who can go out and make good campaign , speeches and practically all of this cabi net are qualified for the Stump. Secretary Alexander of the depart ment M commerce. Secretary Wllsort of the department of laboj, and Postmaster Hnrleson campaigned actively before - they became members of the house of ; representatives. Secretary Meredith ran for g&vernor of Iowa on the Democratic Uoket and Is out making a few speeches now to advertising clubs, chambers of commerce and civic organisations. Sec retary Daniels was the Democratic na tional committeeman from North Caro lina for 10 years. Secretary Baker waa tv? Ice mayor of Cleveland a&d active In . Ohio pontics. : lkd wilso toaces Attorney General Palmer has been UuAar a the Democratic caucus In the house of representatives and was floor leader Of the Wilson roree at tne nemo 1 itmtia nnvention of 112 In Baltimore. He is en active and an avowed candi date for the Democratic nomination. Balnbfldge Colby is an excellent speaker, possibly the best of the cabinet. He Is ' Sn orator and spellbinder. Mis speeches nominating Roosevelt In the progressive convention in 11 or condemning Roose velt later on for betraying the party are masterpieces of eloquence. Only Secretaries Houston of the trees 1 ury and Jehn Barton Payne of the in terlor department can't duality as poll v ticiana. Eight of 10 In the Wilson cabl r nelt will be heard from during the com " Ing campaign. They are expected to do the fighting for President Wilson's poli- eiea. . 8m of the e-members of the cabi net probably will have their say, too, though perhaps they may not all be as enthusiastic about Wilson policies as they used to be. William Jennings Bryan. Thomas W. Gregory, William o, McAdoo. Franklin K. Lane, Undley M. Garrison and Robert Lansing constitute the Wilson alumni association, though it looks as if Mr. Lansing will divide honors with Mr. Garrison in maintain ina absolute eilence about the admin Istratloft. Neither one satisfied th po litical Qualifications of a cabinet mem ber which Mr. WUioli seems to think are vital. Neither on made political speeches. &ut with th battery of - speakers which , has now been collected by the president, there will be enough administration spokesmen to make up tor the president's own inability to rs - sums the fight on the stamp. SITUATION TJBCHASOED t But there has been no session of the ' Wilson cabinet yet to talk over plans fr th campaign or the matters of gov- ernment which th cabinet members are supposed to be dealing with. Ever since last September, when Mr, Wilson took tick, th executive branch of the gov ernment has been centralised. Cohesion waa confidently expected when Mr. Wil ton dismissed Mr. Lansing, but for some unexplained reason, the situation hasn't t'.s shanged a bit from the days when en forced confinement Inside the White - House kept the president detached from ' hi cabinet. Presidents differ, however, in their estimate of the value of cabi ( nets. Mr. Wilson has never leaned heavily on his cabinet, He got accus-v- tomed to the elimination of one cabinet meeting every week during the war. and ol course when he went abroad he kept In touch in only the most super h flclal way with the heads of the differ ent department, Looking back over nearly two year, Mr, Wilson has seen very little of his cabinet, either collec tlvely or Individually, and has estab- ' ilshed thus far the record of holding no caoinei meetings wnaisoever for more 'Jian seven months.

Yesterdayr the nation wis shocked By the killing of Alan BelL magistrate Of Dublin Casus, who waa dragged irom a Dublin streetcar at 10 o'clock in th morning and shot by four masked men, urns escaped. Th rapid retaliation of the anti-Sinn Eein group was seen in the killing or edarthy. Some source her charged that th ar.ti-sinn rem grott u sponsored by the nolle and that It numbered many constables among it members. All ire land has heard tha charge that th lord maof of Cork Was killed by the po lice. Anonymous tetters received by the chairman of the town council at uaeens- toh, who was wafhed thai the next ; policeman killed in Queenstowa would j result in the chairman's death, and other threatening letters received by Sinn Feiners were attributed to the anti-Slnft f-ln terrorist organization. POLICE ABE BLAMED Aa to the MacCurtain murder, nation alists here pointed to evidence brought Out at the coronefs investigation. Mem bers of MacCurtaln's family flatly charged that the crime was carried out by the police. Tney proaucea tne voiion from a policeman's uniform found out side the house the morning after Mac Curtain's death. Slnb Fein leaders throughout Ireland were in hiding tonight. the rapid revenge of the Bell murder, they feared, might be toftiy a prelude t other crtmea "No- man can tell when his time will fM ntis Sinn Feiner declared. Meantime, the result of the terrorist plot Of mufder and counter muraer nas served to fan the flames of Irish hatred all fliln TCrltfilh. The report of Andrew Bonar Law's sheath in th hObft Of cbmmons was widely discussed. Th government spokesman, after tell ins- the commons of the murder of Bell, declared the government had determined upon harsh messures to restore order. Hunger strikers, Bonar Law fcakl, ac cording to authorities, will be allowed to die before their method gains them freedom. Meantime, other dispatches "reported the condition of Alderman O'fcrien, leader of the Irish trades anions, now on a hunger strike in a British 'Jail, as precarious.
