Washington, Fell. 14.—President Coolidge today completed tile cabinet with which he will start the new ad ministration on March 4, Jle ended weeks of uncertainty and political wire pulling by selecting William M. Jardine, head of Kansas State Agricultural college, to be sec retary of agriculture, and accom panled this nomlnatlbn to the senate with that of Frank B. Kellogg to be secretary of state. There are now three appoinlments before senate for confirmation—Kel logg. Jarinde, and Charles B. Warren, appointed attorney general a month ago. None of these appointments are popular with the senate, for. in each Instance, the president moved counter to the wishes of state delegations in congress. Two Confirmations Sure. Kellogg and Jardine will be con firmed witli little or no opposition. There has been talk of holding up the Kellogg appointment until he “ex plained'' the Paris agreement to the foreign relations committee, but this 'talk has now died away. The Warren appointment, however, will not be confirmed by the prese.ii; senate, and there is grave doubt whether he can be confirmed In the new senate which will be called Into special session for a few hours on March 4. Warren himself came to the capital today and his arrival was accom panied hy rumors that he would ask the president to Withdraw his name. ise^Wpse rumors could pot he confirmed, and on President Coolidge* behalf, it was staled there would he “no backing down." ■May Ask Withdrawal. Tt was pointed out, however. If Warren himself insists on withdraw ing the president could hardly refuse Ids request. The opposition to Warren has not diminished in the face of the White House demand that he he confirmed. It has rather tended to increase, un til it now emhruees virtually the en tire democratic membership and the so-called “progressive wing" of the republican side. Warren's long con nection with sugar interests which have run afoul of the law on divers occasions make him. in the eyes of the so-called progressives, "unavail able" as an attorney general, begin his new administration with men of hi* own choosing was evidenc ed in still another quarter today. Alaska Governor Named.

This appointment erected consider able surprise as there had i>een no intimation that there was to be a change in governors.

He has lived In the territory for IS years. The appointment. In eldentallv, elves the Alaskans for the first lime In history, a resident gov something they have long been demanding.
