; The latest suggestion concerning cab-
inet appointments heard among those
close to Mr. Hardirg on the trip is that
Charles Evans Hughes generally regard-
ed as a leading possibility for secretary
' of state might be offered the attorney;
generalship instead and that the state
portfolio might be given to Elihu Root
whose friends are understood to be bring-
ing strong pressure to bear in his be-
half. In the same quarters it has been pro-
posed that Charles C. Dawes of Chicago
urged prominently for secretary of the
treasury be given the position of gov-
ernor of the federal reserve board leav-
ing the treasury post for A. W. Mellon
of Pittsburg. So far as Mr. Harding
himself is concerned however he is put-
ting the whole question over for decision
after he returns to St. Augustine from
his fishing trip.

WASHINGTON Jan. 21. Proposed

senate Friday from two senators Sher-

posed the oendinc Gronna regulatory bill
as an unwarranted interfere ace with a
panicuiar private inuusirj principle
which thev said might be extended in
juriously to other lines of business.

call had been put in to New Orleans to
report the inability to induce the nous
ton police to get busy on the case that
jt was learned that a report had been
sent to New Orleans that the men want
ed had been registered at the Houston
hotel on the day of the Citizens State
bank robbeiw but had checked out and
"gone to San Antonio." It was learned
that New Orleans had been unsble to
get anything from the Houston police
and had gone to private detective
agencies to get the information they had.
' In addition to Ahearn and Keys the
men arrested in New Orleans are Wil-
bam D. eston Robert Holland and to
ward T. Sherlock. The gang was cap-
tured after it had been learned that they
had planned to rob the American Rail-

Only Ahearn and Keys appeared on the
scene of the planned holdup. They did
'nothing suspicious and were later ar-
rested in different parts of the city. After
Ahearn's confession the others said by
him to be part of the gang were rounded
up and brought in.
Operate Throighoit Sostfc.
From the confessions of Ahearn and
Keys it is made dear that an extensive
gang of robbers has been traveling about
- the South gathering information for the
' New Orleans crowd and "pulling off
jobs here ami there. Two of the men
i according to Ahearn and Keys were
' supposed to be in Houston when the
robbery here was accomplished Wednes
;day. The tactics of the Houston rob
ibery tally somewhat with the practice
. lis New Orleans. There the robbers did
i 'not leave the city but sought safety in
being seen regularly in their wonted
haunts.
t From this it is pointed out that
i would hare been but natural for the rob
v hers to hare returned to the hotel at
which they had been stopping and to
check out in regular order about train
tune. The fact that they ran the rent
ed automobile into the bayou at Glen
wood cemetery is considered as circum
- stsntisl corroboration of the intention of
i the occupants not to leave the city nor
: nedly. This is the point at which the
Houston police have lost all trace of the
robbers.
Saspects All Releases'.
. Four men were taken into custody as
bank robber suspects by the Houston
police Friday but all were released later
. in the day as not fittinx the descriptions
-of the men implicated in the Citizens'
bank affair. Two other men. arrested
by Lockhart Texas authorities and
taken from the baggage steps of a bag-
gage car where they were stealing a
nde were ordered released by the Hous-
ton police as not answering the descrip-
. txn of the Houston bank robbers.
At midnight Friday night members of
' the police department admitted that they
were completely mystified by the disap-
pearance of the men who robbed the
Washington avenue bank. The trail has
been lost at the point where the rented
automobile was driven into Buffalo bayou
. and abandoned and three hats picked up.
No one has been found who saw the three
bareheaded men after that. No Houston
haberdasher has been found who sup
piiea tnree natless men witn bats or
. caps. No due of any kind has been
; picked up beyond the radiator of the
automobile except the New Orleans tip
and the men named in the confession
- there have left Houston it is declared.

burdens of taxation resulting from the
world war have caused the peoples of all
nations to favor a world agreement on

bassador to France and a member of the
American peace commission to Psris de
clared. Friday before the house naval
committee which is holding hearings on
this subject.
1 think the world it erytn lot some
atTsemenL" said Mr. White "but I do
not favor the United States being the
only nation to disarm.
The United 8tates. he added. ' should
take the initiative in the disarmament
movement and the conference should be
held in this country. Any gathering look
ing to aeneral disarmament should in-
dude France snd Italy as well as the
United Statea Great Britain and Japan
the former ambassador said but discus
sions looking to a reduction of naval
building only should be limited for the
present at least to Great Britain Japan
and the united Btatea.
"I think it would result in chaos if all
nations of the world were to be repre
sented at the proposed conference" said
Mr. White.
"Would not general disarmament open
the way to bolshevism throughout Eu-
rope?" asked Representative Britten re
publican Illinois.
"I think France might feel that way."
said the witness. "The keeping of Ger
many in a state or chaos over reparations
is opening the way to bolshevism more
than any other factor right now in my
opinion. The present condition of Uer
many makes bolshevism a menace.
