GENERAL STRIKE MAT BE RENEWED IN GERHART NOW .... Mueller Expresses Doubt at Ability to Form New Cabinet —Tentative Line-Up Is Giv en Today—Leiger May Try. Paris, March. 29,—The French •foreign office today was advised from Berlin that Hermann Muel lor has resigned from the Ger man cabinet and will not under take formation of a new ministry following the resignation of the . Bauer government. Karl Legien and Herr Krueger were mentioned as possible heads for the new cabinet, the foreign office advices said. Berlin, March 29.—Formation of a new cabinet for Germany with Herman Mueller as premier and foreign secretary was an nounced today. The minister of labor is Herr Schlicke, a socialist, as is the premier. The minister of* economics is Herr Schmidt, also a socialist. Berlin, March 29.—Possibility of a renewal of the general strike was foreseen last night as result of the fa« of Chancellor Bauer's cabinet. The Bauer government resigned as a body after it was attacked bitterly by the radical trade unionists. The cabinet was in existence less than 24 hours. Herman Mueller, former minister of foreign affairs, was reported to have expressed doubt as to his ability to carry out President Ebert's in structions to form a new cabinet. The chief political parties, the majority socialists and centrists seemed unable to reach any agreement and the situa tion was complicated by the bitter an tagonism of the radical laborites. There was some talk that Karl Legie, secretary of the trades union organi zation may be asked to form a gov ernment in event Mueller definitely refuses the president’s request. London, March 27.—The new Ger man cabinet, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Times, by way of Paris probably will be as follows: Chancellor—Herman Mueller. Foreign Affairs — Landsberg or Brockdorff-Rantzau. Interior—Kopp. Posts and telegraphs—Giesbert. Finance—Cuno. Treasury—Wirth. J ustice—Haase. Agriculture—Bauer. Public works—Schmidt. Preconstruction—Sllbersc'.imidt. Defense—Gessler. An exchange telegraph dispatch from Berlin said Mueller had agreed to undertake formation of the new cabinet — WORKERS" CONTROL CHEMNITZ Chemnitz, Saxony, March 27.— Communists are firmly entrenched In control here and prepared to resist attacks by government troops which may be sent against the city. In the event the troops secure control, a general strike may again be called. Heinrich Brandler, chairman of the executive committee of the workers, declared today his followers were closely co-operating with workers in the Ruhr valley. "We do not expect an attack as the government forces are too weak," he said, “but if It comes we will re sist.” There are 12,000 men under arms in this district and Brandler said the workers leaders could call upon not only the workmen of Chemnitz, who made up 92 per cent of the popula tion, but those of the entire Vogt land and ore mountain regions. The mayor of the town confirmed Brandler's declaration that workers were co-operating with municipal authorities without interfering with the latter. Brandler branded as non sense reports that a soviet govern ment was to be established. —4—* GERMANY NOT DISARMED.

Mexico City, Mex.. March 29.— Negotiations are being conducted in the United States which would soon lead to the lifting of the embargo on arms and munitions shipments from America into Mexico, it was unof ficially intimated here today. Government officials viewed the negotiations of the highest import ance. They believed unrestricted im ports of supplies from the United States would enable President Car ranza's troop3 to complete pacifica tion of the country before the coming presidential elections. General Gonzales today denied a report that he will withdraw his can didacy immediately. He had no in tention of withdrawing “at this time" he said, although he would not com ment on a report that he will com bine with General Obregon to push Obregon's candidacy. It has been charged that the Car ranza group was supporting the can didacy of Ignacious Bonillas, who recently returned from Washington where he was the Mexican ambassa dor. This was given as basis for the report of the Gonzales-Obregon coa lition. CREDITORS WOULD GIVE HIM CHANCE Californian Under Indictment For Grand Larceny to Still Enjoy Liberty. New York.

IPNTIY GRIPPING THE MIDDLE WEST HEIOYER BENEFITS When Candidates Win It Is Due to Organisation—None Able to Stimulate Partisan Passion. BY MARK SULLIVA*. Copyright, 1420, by N. Y. Evening Poet, Inc., end The Sioux City Tribune. Chicago. March 39.—l have covered a sufficient area of the country and have had enough contact with the candidates In action, and with the political machines in action, to jus tify a certain amount of generaliza tion with regard to the feeling of the country and the relative standing of the various candidates with the peo ple. The impression that is most deeply forced upon the travelling inquirer in dicates indifference on the part of the people. More accurately it is not in difference toward the candidates, but toward the old political organizations. It is something stronger; it is sullen ness. The people are tired of the old oragnizations and the old per sonalities. The old slogans and the old rallying cries no lunger thrill. The old issues do not interest. The peo ple want something new. That is one reason for the talk of Hoover. Hoover is new, and he has had no connection with the old parties. This apathy is universal through out the northwest. There is no wide spread enthusiasm for any man now prominent in American politics. Of the large figures who have stirred the public imagination during the last | two decades, Koosevelt is dead. Bry an is shopworn and Wilson has lost his prestige. No o'her living American has the power to stir that each of these men had. Compared to these three, all the men now racing for the presi dency are lacking in magnetism and fn the power to stimulate personal devotion or partisan passion. Lack of Party a Recommendation. The people - are in a mood of fa tigue. This lack of emotion is prac tically universal throughout the northwest. In northern Michigan a competent observer expressed it by an vine:: "Judging from what I see and hear in this section of the state, that is, the 12 northwestern counties, there is not any strong party sentiment. The people are sick of constant sparring for political prestige in congress and government departments and would flock to any man or party which of fered the prospect of more business and less partisanship. For that rea son Hoover, 1 believe, is strongest throughout this section among the voters, not among the politicians. His failure to announce himself as a party man seems to the average voter to be a recommendation." Just as this observation comes from the wish for something new of Hoov er, so do all the others. It is note that they have any exact knowledge about Hoover, not that Hoover is nec essarily a bigger man than some of the others, but Hoover is new. and he has no connection with either of the old parties. That this latter fact should be a virtue is the striking thing. Klsewliere another man com petent to judge public feeling, said: "Political sentiment here is para lyzed and dumb. The optimism en gendered by shoulder-to-shoulder work in the war has been killed by Washington. The attitude of our common average people makes those at Washington seem 10 years behind the times." Is Matter of Organization. Over and over again, the inquiring traveler hears the same sentiment of indifference. The public is apathetic as among the various candidates for the nomination. Wood wins, wher ever he wins, by virtue of superior or ganization; Lowden wins, wherever he wins, by virtue of supperior or ganization; Johnson wins, wherever he wins, chiefly through his own per sonal exentions. In the matter of the personal im pression they have made in their campaigning Wood outpoints Lowden. The verdict is general that Lowden in his speechmaking and in his ap pearance personally before the voters of the middle west has been a dis appointment. It is not especially that he turned voters against him, but that audiences left him with a vague sense of being disappointed and let down. The universal comment in the towns where Governor Lowden ap peared in Minnesota and South Da kota is that audiences came in the expectation of hearing something strong and decisive on national is sues, but that Governor Lowden con firmed his speeches to the budget sys tem and his own experience in applying the budget system and otherwise organizing the government of Illinois. The audiences felt that the subject was slightly alien and were disappointed. A thoughtful cit izen of Watertown, S. D., said: "1 am supporting Governor Low den’s candidacy, but I feel certain he lost rather than gained by coming into the state and failing .to touch up on the problems of the day. Aside from the bearing that a budget sys tem may have upon a situation, Gov ernor Lowden did not refer, except in an indirect way, to a single national problem.” SUFFRAGE VOTE GOES OVER TO NEXT WEEK Dover, Del.. March 29.—Disposal by the Delaware legislature of the pro posed woman suffrage constitutional amendment not later than next Wed nesday was ill prospect when both houses adjourned last night until next Monday.

Ctr jso, March 29 —The Southern Who’ sale Grocers’ Association, with mot - than 2,000 members has with drawn from the case brought by the National Wholesale Grocers against the “big five" packers and several railroads, R. I>. Rynder, counsel for Swift & Co., announced at the con tinuation of the hearing before Clyde D. Aitcbison, of the Interstate Com merce commission here today. Tae National Wholesale Grocers are aek ing that an order be issued forbidding the shipment of groceries In refriger ator cars owned by the packers, claiming that the practice represents unfair competition. The Southern Grocers were co complainants in the first hearing last fall. They have since notified their members that the dissolution agree ment reached by the packers and At torney General Palmer grants the relief they sough, Rynder said. In his argument today he declared the effort to restrict refrigerator car shipments is not only economically unsound, but also would work a dis tinct hardship on the public generally If enforced. “We shall show that if the orders sought by the wholesale grocers were granted by the com mission. it would, so far as Swift ic Co., is concerned, require a cutting down of the number of peddler routes from 717 per week to 150,” he said. “This could not but result in a seri ous situation for the small towns, hampering severely their supply >f fresh meat.’ ’ GREW ENVOY TO DENMARK Washington. March 29.—Joseph C. Grew, of Massechusetts, now coun sellor of the embussy at Paris, was nominated today by President Wilson to be minister to Denmark, succeed ing Norman Hapgood, whose nomina tion was not confirmed by the sen ate. MICHIGAN IS NOW CLOSELY WATCHED Presidential Candidates Are Storming State For Favor In Primary of April 5. Detroit, Mich., March 29.—Candi dates for the presidential nomina tions were watching Michigan closely today. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood and Sen ator Miles Poindexter continued their speaking tours. Ollier candidates, through their Michigan managers, were hard at work organizing their forces for the drive on the polls April 5 when Michigan will signify her choices for the party nominations. General Wood paused long enough in Saginaw yesterday to characterize Senator William Borah's charges in the Senate regarding campaign ex penditures of Bowden and Wood as "mere gibbering." "The whole thing is too ridiculous to bo noticed." Wood said. "My cam paign has ben conducted along proper lines and will continue to be so con ducted. No money will be expended except within the strictest limits of state and national laws.” Senator Poindexter at Battle Creek, attacked the Wilson Mexican policy violently. He said that if there was any "protecloraling" to be done by the United States it should be done in Mexico and not in Turkey and Armenia." MAY BREAK RECORDS. New York. March 29.—Cable dis PHtches describing crowds seeking \;ises on passports at the American consulate in Madrid intensified the belief of immigration authorities here today that the number of emigrants from Spain to the United States might break all records.
