SECRETARY MOODY Is
TO LEAVE THE CABINET
Tires Of Living at $4,000 Rate on an
$1,000 Income and Will Go
Back to the Law.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1.-THE echoes
OF the Republican love feast at Baker
Island are floating around the city.
One thing which was settled, accord
ing to these reports, is that Secretary
Moody is really to retire from the
navy department, despite the many
assertions TO the contrary. His res
ignation will come at the close of the
present administration. Mr. Moody
wants to get back to the practice of
law. He has tried living at a SIC, 1000
rate on the $4,000 income, and the
experiment is not satisfactory.
Another rumor is that the United
States ambassador to Italy, George
Won l.. Meyer, will continue at his
diplomatic post, and also in the ma
tional committee. Party leaders say
that President Roosevelt personally
wants him. and his ability to raise
money is what has brought this view
about.
But how about the Crane talk"
the enthusiasts, were asked, for it
has been reported that Ex-Governor
w. Murray Crane would be the next
national committeeman from Massa-
chusetts.
ooh, that is all right" the inform
ant said. Crane is going to be king
pin in the next national committee,
but he will be member of the ad-
7is'ry board which win sit around
Roosevelt. 1t win be a vastly more
satisfactory place than national COM
mitteeman."

VIOLENT GALE SWEEPS
OVER BRITISH ISLES
LIoyds Reports Over Fifty Casualties
to Shipping and 100 Lives Are
Known to Be Lost.

London, Sept 1.-THE British isles
were swept Friday by the most violent
gale in years, and the storm left
death and widespread ruin in it's
track. Telegraphic communication is
so disordered that an estimate of the
number of fatalities and of the dam
age is impossible, but at least 100 are
known to be dead, and it is feared
that the number of dead is much
greater.
Lloyds report over fifty serious cas-.
ualties to shipping. All sorts of yes.
sells were caught in the gale and many
foundered, several with their entire
crews. A great number of minor
craft is believed to be lost and the
bodies washed ashore continue to
swell the terrible list of fatalities.
The gale sprang up with sudden
fury from the southwest and the wind
blew with a velocity at times reach.

continued for several hours.
All the coast towns suffered more
or less and the agricultural sections
in the interior report incalculable dam.
age owing to the late harvest. The
beautiful hop gardens of Kent have
been ruined and in many places the
valleys of the Thames and the Severn
are submerged, large numbers Of
sheep and cattle being drowned.
Great numbers of fine trees in the
parks of London and other cities were
torn up by the roots or stripped of
their branches, and the list of minor
damage and casualties is amazing. In
addition to the deaths from drowning,
reports from the island give many
fatalities resulting from various
causes incidental to the storm.

STANDARD OIL ACCUSED.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. S.-The Fort
Worth Telegram prints the most start
ling story that has ever come out Of
the Beaumont Oil fields, and states
that its informant is one of the most
prominent men of Fort Worth, and
who has just returned from Beau.
mont.
This man declares that the Standard
Oil company has perpretrated a most
gigantic swindle in the Beaumont
fields. and that positively established
details are just coming to light.
The Independent oil companies Of
Beaumont are the victims, many of
which have been wrecked by the
Standards work. Recently some Of
the leading men of the wrecked or
injured companies determined to in
vestigate, and in two days they raised
$4,000 with which to push the work.
The developments. it is declared, are
simply astounding. It is shown that
the numerous oil wells that were APP
parently ruined by salt water were
put in their bad condition by the
Standard Oil compaay's conspirators.
As fast as company went to the
wall its property was bought in by
the trust
Byaccident. 1t Is claimed, the desper-
ate work of the Standard company
was recently discovered.
The Standard Oil company long ago
built pipe line from Beaumont to
the Gulf of Mexico. A pumping sta
ton was erected at Beaumont and an
other at the gulf Oil was pumped
through the pipe line to the Gulf aud
thence shipped to various parts of the
world. Suddenly many oil wells of in
dependent companies had salt water in
them.
A curious superstition prevails in

skin. the h,rses will feel as II they
