CAUSES CONCERN
PRjS. WILSON
Washington, D. C., Fell. <.
The selection of a secretary of
the interior is causing President
elect Wilson more concern than
any other problem than with
which he is at present confronted.
This is the report brought back
to Washington by various sena
tors and others who have con
ferred with Mr. Wilson about
cabinet appointments and public
policy, and on this one point all
seem agreed. Moreover, it is
generally conceded that Mr. Wil
son is still a long ways from de
termining who shall succeed Mr.
Fisher in the cabinet. Some cab
inet officers, it is believed, have
been definitely settled upon, but
this one in particular is still very
much in doubt.
Mr. Wilson finds himself be
tween two fires. The west is
pulling every available string to
induce the incoming president to
select a western man for secre
tary of the interior; the east and
the conservationists are loudly
protesting against the appoint
ment of any westerner, no mat
ter what his standing or what bis
views, and at the same time are
clamoring for the appointment of
an eastern or southern man who
is an out and out conservation
ist, in the sense in which that
term is generally interpreted. To
this latter proposition the west is
subjecting.

never allow the porte to accept
the peace terms offered in 1.on
don.
W. J. Holden, of Boston, man
ager of the Kuskalina Copper
company, arrived in Valdez on

some time, later going in to the
property of the company in the
interior.

ATTACHES CHURCH
FOR BACK 8ALARY
Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. 7.
Having failed to reach an agree- I
ment with an agreement with the
Rev. Alexander Waddell, former |
pastor of the Union Presbyterian
church, as to his claim upon the
congregation for arrears in sal- i
ary, the Presbytery of Philadel- j
phia has decided to abandon its
attempt to prevent a sheriff's sale, j
As a result the church structure, :
at. Sixty-fifth street and Woodland j
avenue, it is probable, will be sold :
by the sheriff in the first week of
February. If the church build
ing is sold in order to pay the
pastor’s salary, it will he the lirsl I
ease of the kind here.
Mr. Waddell, whose pastoral
relations with tin* Union church
were dissolved by the Presbytery
of Philadelphia in November last,
demanded payment of llie full
amount of his salary, $1.1(10 a
year, for a long period, the total
amount, with interest, being about
*7,500. Mr. Waddell obtained a
judgment for Dial amount Iasi
July. To satisfy that judgment
the sheriff's sale of the church
property is now threatened.
The congregation divided into
factions seven years ago. The
Presby tery decided in December,
1011, that il was time for the
minister to leave. Mr. Waddell
appealed to the Synod of Penn
sylvania. There could then be no
action until the Synod met al But
ler, Penn., in October last. The
Synod sustained the action of the
Presbytery.

Side in the last six weeks. The
bandit died a few hours after he
was shot.
