FRANCE'S NEXT PRESIDENT.
FRENCH PARLIAMENT ELECTS
PREMIER POINCAIRE.
Wild Confusion, <>ut ?>r Which Arise
T\\?? Challenges to Duels, Marks,
the Balloting.
Versailles, Prance, Jan. 17.?Ray
mond Nicolas Landry Poincaire, for
the past 1j months premier of the
French cabinet, was elected president
of tin- republic of Prance today by
the national assembly, composed of
the mem ben of both chambers of
parliament. In succession to President
Armand Fallleres, whose seven-year
term expires February is. *
The wildest confusion out of which
arose two challenges to duels, marked
the canting of the ballots.
Premier Poincaire was chosen presi?
dent on the second ballot, his plurality
over his nearest competitor, Jut *s
Pams, minister of agriculture, being
187. The deciding Vote stood as fol?
lows: Raymond Poincaire 4Ho; Jules
Pams 296; Marie Eduard Vaillant 69.
Mr. Poincaire's first words upon be?
ing officially informed of his election
as president ot* Prance were;
"l shall try to show myaelf worthy
of the confidence of the national as?
sembly. I shall forget the struggh s
of yesterday and even the Inquiries.
Be convinced that I shall seek in
everything and all times to he an im?
partial administrator."
The utterance came when Antoine
Dubost, the president of the assem?
bly. In an apartment adjoining the
voting hall, read from a parchment
the official recoid of the election
which was signed by M. Dubost and
eight secretaries.
While this scene was go',^ on the
deputies and senators, and the spec?
tators crowding the galleries in the
great hail, were also hearing the an?
nouncement of Premier Poincire's
liCtorj atid the defeat of Jules Pams,
If. Poincaire's strongest opponent.
After a round of cheering the depu?
ties and senators who formed the
national aasemhly, the women Of fash?
ion and diplomatists among whom
w. re Ifyron T. Herrick, the American
ambassador, and other notables, har?
ried from the Versailles chateau to
keep dinm r engagements In Paris arid
Versailles. As they passed out de?
tachments < f soldtes were being
aligned to salute the president-elect
and to escort him to the capital.
Raymond Poincaire's selection for
the presidency of France; although
by parliament a* required by the con?
stitution. Is regarded as representing
as well the popular will of the nation.
The choice Came on the second bal?
lot. Jules Pams was the next highest
candidate In the final vote. &f. Poin?
caire gained SI votes on the second
ballot, giving him the required ma
jpority.
Raymond Poincaire. the new presi?
de nt, Is now In his T,::rd year. He Is
Of medium height and sturdily built.
Above all ho radiates an Impression
Of force, both physical and intellec?
tual, He is modest in conversation,
cheerful and patient, and concentrates
his whole attention on the person to
whom he Is talking.
M. Poincaire's large, luminous eyes
are the most striking feature of a face
which suggests tenacity and determi?
nation. He is versatile and comes of
a family distinguished in science and
literature.
The president-elect himself is a
phib sopher, a writer and a member of
the French academy with a notable
e.n , er In French law circles. He has
a peculiarity of never sending his
Clients bills for legal services, always
saying that they may send him what?
ever they consider to be the value of
his work. He is capable of disposing
of a great variety of affairs in a short
working day. in conaequence he has
time for much study and for much so?
cial life. He is seen on first night?
nt theatres and attends the princi?
pal horse racing eventa.
Americans who have met the
premier have always found him In?
terested In America and its Institu
t ions.
\s foreign minister m. poincaire
git atly facilitated the work of Am?
bassador llerrlek and his predecessor
at the American embassy, Robert Ita?
eon, and he gave much nttenth n to
the * Franco-American committee
! which sent a delegation, lo aded by

LEVER WOULD SUPPLEMENT
HOKE smith's hill.
Believes it II?s Better Chance Tlian
Georgian's Meaaur??Has Been Pa?
vornbly Reported.
Washington, Jan. 17.?The house
committee on agriculture today agreed
to report favorably the hill of Sena?
tor Hoke Smith of Georgia for the
creation of a bureau of markets in
the department of agriculture. The
vote on this bill was unanimous. It
is learned that Representative Lever,
while favoring the bill, was hot en?
tirely satisfied that its provisions were
hroad enough to give authority for
the work which he thought necessary
to be done in order to carry out tne
purpose of those who have suggested
?bis additional piece of machinery for
the enlightenment and benefit of the
farmers. in addition A Is his idea
that on account of the crowded con?
dition of the house calendar it would
be impossible to pass the bill even
with the favorable and unanimous re?
port of the committee on agriculture.
Hence, it is understood that Mr.
Lever offered In the committee an
amen Iment to the agiCUltUral ap?
propriation of |50,000 to become
available July l, 1913, for the pur?
pose i f giving the secretary of agri?
culture the authority and the money
with which to begin the work contem?
plated in the thought which suggests
the creation of a bureau of markets
in the department. This amendment
was adopted.
Mr. Lever believes it to be tic be?
ginning of a movement whicfl ulti?
mately will go far toward the solu?
tion of the Vexed problems of the
high cost of living, providing, as* it
will, the machinery by Which the pro?
ducer and consumer are brought
closer together and furnishing mean
on account of had marketing
by which the estimated annual loss
11,560,000,000 ean be saved to the
American people.
