Htar special from Augusta. Oa., Hays:
When Philander C. Knox, the Taft

to discuss tho president--elect the
make-up of the remainder of tho
administration cabinet. Mr. Taft will
onk him to approve of Myron T. Her
rick. former governor of Ohio, -an sec
retary of the treasury. This fact can
be stated an coming from authentic
sources.
Before Mr. Taft offered the treasury
portfolio to Representative Theodore
K. Burton, of Ohio, he wan seriously
considering Herrick for the place. Now
Herrick Is the approved man for tho
Job.
The selection of Knox an aecretary
of state is of vast Nlgnlflcar.cc In that
It will probably mean that most of
the men now in tho cabinet who have
figured as great Roosevelt supporters,
will lone out In tho final framing of
the personnel of tho Taft cabinet. Tho
president-elect Is frank In hln state
ment that he will depend on the coun
sc I of Knox more than on the advice
of any other man. Thin In taken to
mean that the chanceg gf Pinchot be
ing secretary, of agriculture und Gar
field being secretary of the Interior,
are reduced to a minimum.
For Knox's Approval.
When Mr. Knox arrives within the
next week or no Mr. Tuft will submit
to him for hln inspection and ap
proval the following cabinet lint:

Immediately after their release, the men

arrangements to go to their respective
homes. They were a greatly surprised
lot when arraigned before Judge Speer,
not knowing why they were wanted.
They were given a wholesome talk by
Judge Speer. In part, he said:
"To you eight unfortunate me

Internal revenue laws on various dates,

to various terms of Imprisonment, none
