Attorney General Knox returned to his
desk yesterday after his summers vaca-

buried himself under the work requiring
his attention before his departure for
Paris. He has arranged TO sail Wednes-
day on the Oceanic. 1t was the original
plan that Senator Spooner should go
with him, but Mr.. Spooner finds 1t in
expedient to leave at this time.
Il do not know exactly what questions
in connection with acquiring the title OF
the Panama Canal Company property l
will be asked to investigate" said the
Attorney General. Assistant Attorney
Charles W. Russell is in Paris now, and
my advices from him are meager. but TO
the effect that he needs my assistance"
While in Boston last Saturday Mr..
Knox had conference with Solicitor
General Richards and Attorney Day, who
represent the Government in the merger
and other important cases pending.
The Merger Case.
''In the merger case said Mr.. Knox,

convenience of the parties concerned.
When taking testimony has been COM

the reply of the Pacific Commercial Ca
bic Company, which desires to lay the

tached to the provisional consent of the
the department in the matter until this
reply has been received.
General Knox deprecated the stories
which connected his name with the COM

States Supreme Court. He has meter
considered. he said, the prospect of his
assuming such position.
Mr.. Richards to Remain.
Nor had he heard anything of the in
tended resignation of Solicitor General
Richards beyond what he saw in print
He does not believe that the Solicitor
General intends to resign, as he would
have mentioned it to him at the Boston
conference.
Il certainly hope there is no truth in
the story" he said. adding a high trib-
ute to Mr.. Richards conduct of his i'm
portant office.
The Boston conference also touched |
upon the proceedings in the Green Gay |
nor case.
1--WE came to no more detailed UNDER
standing" said Mr.. Knox, than to
agree that the case should not be drop
ped until every resource of the law has
been exhausted. i have no criticism to
make of Judge Caren's ruling in the
case II Judge Caren's condu It is to be

Meeting Insular Problems.

THE Senate now has it's Committees
on Pacific Islands, and Porto Rico, and
the Philippines. and the House its Com
mittee on Insular Affairs. Here is wise
recognition OF the added responsibilities
that are upon US.
The State. War. and Navy Depart
nents. and the Treasury and Interior
Departments, have more OF less to do
with these problems; but the proposed
new Department of Commerce would
have more to do with them, in time at
all events, than any other, perhaps than
all others put together
