Harding's cabinet se
lections now hinge on so many
uncertain elements that some' of
his confidants ' oetleve he mar
postpone tne announcement of all
but one appointment until just
before Inauguration.
The one place regarded a
most likely to be scratched off the
doubtful list Is that of secretary
of state for which Charles E.
Hutches still is said to be upper
most In Mr. Harding's mind. It
Is . understood, however no defi
nite word has come that Mr.
Hughes will accept.
Regarding all other portfolios
the president-elect still is collect

pointments he is said to have
seriously, considered.: announcing
early, those, of secretary of "the
treasury and secretary of agri
culture, were involved In confer
ences today.
. Mayor. Thompson of Chicago,
who has been quoted as opposing
the suggested " appointment of
Charles O. Dawes of that city as
secretary of the treasury was one
oe those who talked with Mr.
Harding. The mayor said the
cabinet talk had been more or
lee general.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11
President-elect Harding wiff take
the oath of office March 4 with
ceremonies approximating in sim
plicity those which attended the
inauguration of Jefferson and
Jackson.
The joint congressional inaug
ural committee decided today that
with Mr. Harding's approval, tho
oath should be administered in
the senate chamber and that all
outside ceremonies be dispensed
with.
The new president would thus
take the oath in the small and al
most semi-private chamber of tho
senate immediately after lho
swearing In of Calvin CoolidgeNas
vice president, and then would de
liver his address within the hear
ing only of members of the sen
ate and house, justices of the su
preme court and not more than
100$ persons able to crowd into
the galleries.
The committee submitted Its
plans for the approval ot Mr.
Harding through a -telegram sent
by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania,
committee chairman.

that no formal action had been

thing of the past Cecil Fanning
has come and gone, but the mem
ory of their melody is etril with
us. That the Anollo club has lost
J nothing under Its change of lead
ership and that Cecil Fanning is
one of the worlds greatest bari
tones was conclusively proved to
an audience that filled the greater
number of seats to the armory last
night. From the swinging "Cav
alry Song," to the dashing number
To the Field! To the Hunt!" the
Apollo club held the big audience
in: a state of delightful expectancy
and left them still clamoring for
more.
And Cecil Fanning what can
be said of him! Whoever his press
agent is, he has. in no Instance
overdone any of his euloglsm.
Looking - back over the list of
singers who have appeared in the
Capital City, no one comes to mind
who' has ever aroused greater ap
preciation, nor called forth a more
tremendous ovation. He lived up
to everything that had been said
ot the melody, control, tone and
quality ot his voice the fault
lessness of his-diction; the skill
and insight of his interpretative
ability; excellent and virile style.
and the charm and magnatlsm of
his 'stage presence.
' Listening to him one felt that
there was something greater than
vocal gift alone; one felt Indeed
that there was a bigness of soul, a
great symphony and understand
ing back of it all,' which perhaps
accounted in large measure for
the quality in his singing that Is
beyond description.
There was wonderful dramatic
penetration In hi? "Archibald
Douglas." delicious humor in his
;FtandJn In de Need o' Prayer,"
deep pathos in "The Last Ieaf.''
tragedy in his "Sands o Dee."
and deep, tender feeling in "Meet
Me by Moonlight Alone," and
songs of their types.
He was recalled again and
again, and was particularly gra
cious in his responses. In several
Instances he repeated verses. of
songs that had given especial
pleasure, but he also gave ad
ditional numbers, ' including
"Mother Machrce." "The King of
Heaven,' and a delightful old
Knglish folk song. When his last
scng had been given, and the
audience was. still demanding
more, Mr. Fstoining proved his
(rue. poetic feeling by reading
two original poems, "Hend in the
Road." and "Hidden Wounds."
Too much eannot be said of i
his spjeifdid accompanist. H. H.
Turpin. an artist of the first rank
at the piano. There was a notable
bond of sympathy between the
two ierformers at all times, a
subtle understanding that could
come onlyafter long years of con
stant musical companionship, and
backed by thorough musicianship.
As for thc Apollo club's new
leader, Rev. Horace N. Aldrlch,
Salem need have no fear that its
f crcmost musical ' club m ill not
continue and progress under so
abie a leadership, for Mr. Aldrlch
Injected a peculiar dignity.
rhythm and lyric quality into it
all that was delightful. One
sensed the peculiar delicacy and
fineness of his leadership, yet
there was dynamic power and
swingiuc forcefulness wherever it
was necessary.
The program was splendidly
balanced songs that were dash
ing, lilting to the swing of martial
time, songs that were as delicate
as the sentiment they told about,
songs that left the audience in
a gale of laugherand songs that
Were written in waltz time, and
w-ere given with such nice precis

remaining quiet. Three of the
numbers that were so pleasing
that the audience would not be
satisfied until they were repeated
were. "I Gathered a nose." "Roc
kn Time," and "Song of the Can

Supporting the club in a most
proficient and finished way was
its accompanist. Miss Ruth Red
ford. She .played with a sure
ii ess. independence and. under
standing that left nothing to be
desired. She was at case at all
times, and one felt that she would
