Mr.. MOODY TO REMAIN.
Reasonably Certain That Heads o.
Six Departments Have Been De-
ternined Upon,

Washington, Nov. 22.-It was an
nounced at the White House that At
torney General Moody has decided to
remain in President Roosevelt's cabj
net.
Prior to his transfer from the navy
department to the department of jus
tice, Mr. Moody himself authorized the
statement that at the conclusion OF
the present administration he would
retire from the cabinet to practice law
in Boston.
1t was stated in this connection that
Mr.. Moody has formed a law partner
ship that was congenial and advantag
oous in all respects. This was given
as his only reason for retiring from
public life.
that the Office of attorney general OF
the United States was entirely to Mr.
MoOdy's liking, and as 1t was known
also that President Roosevelt desired
that Mr.. Moody should continue in the
cabinet the announcement made today
was not surprising.
II is understood that the president
and Mr.. Moody are in perfect accord
IN their ideas as to the conduct of the
department Of justice and in order to
carry into effect certain plans which
the president and he have formulated
Mr.. Moody has decided, on the request
Of Mr. Roosevelt, to continue In the
office of attorney general.
The decision of Attorney General
Moody renders 1t reasonably certain
that the heads of six of the great ex.
ecutive departments of the govern,
rnent have been determined upon by
the president for the next administra.
tion. Mr. Hay will continue at the
head of the state department; Mr.
Taft at the head of the war depart

Pittsburg. Nov. 21.-With the eX-
penditure of several millions OF dol
lars Pittsburg is to have a new uni

Andrew Carnegie and others who
made their millions in the Pittsburg

about wanting a university, which
shall be second to none in the Coun-
try, he will help He will not do the
entire work himself, but if other
moneyed men from this neighborhood
want to help, he will come in at the
end. This is taken to mean that Mr..
Carnegie will give, perhaps, as much

PENNSYLVANIA BLUE LAWS.
viii Be object of Concerted Attack Ir
Next LEGISLATURE,

Pittsburg, Nov 81. - Allegheny
county's representatives in the next
legislature will go to Harrisburg in
January prepared to work as a unit
for legislation affecting this end Of the
state, Bills relating toreapportionmept
ard primary election law providing
for personal registration are contem
plated. Without doubt Greater Pitts
burg bill will be presented as soon as
the house convenes by Charles II
Kline.
Another important matter to he con
sidered by the Legislature is the claim
Of local institutions, including hospit
ais, that this end of the state suffered
much from the blue pencil when the
appropriation list was being pruned
by Chairman Ward Bliss and finally
by Governor Pennypacker. The early
recommendation of the state board
OF charities were Invariably ignored.
The proposed amendment of the
blue laws is under discussion. The
German-American alliance of Pennsyl
vania will try for the repeal of the
measure Mt the forthcoming session.
1t will provide, among other things
that 'it shall be lawful to sell drugs,
medicines, soda and mineral waters
and other harmless and nonintoxicat.
ing drinks, bread. oysters, cakes, pas
try, Ice, ice cream, candy, milk, fruit
cigars and tobacco, to prepare, print

day: Provided that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to allow
the sale of any non-intoxicant or other
drink or cigars and tobacco in any sa-
loon, inn or tavern licensed by law for
the sale of intoxicating beverages"
The German-American alliance made
the above amendment the Issue Of
the recent campaign. Copies of the
bill were sent to the various candi-
dates. who were asked to vote for 1t in
the next legislature. Every member
from Allegheny county will probably
support the measure. The returns re-
ceived from the letters sent out by
the German-American alliance would
indicate a strong sentiment among the
new legislators in favor Of the passage
Of the bill

maker Caesar Young was fairly be
gun before Justice Davis i'll the SUI
preme court and when adjournment
was taken Assistant District Attorney
Rand had concluded his outline of the
states case and had examined several
Of the witnesses for the prosecution.
The stories that there would pc fur
ther delays in the trial were early dis
posed of by the announcement from
tie court that Foreman Hendricks OF
the jury, who had asked to be re
lieved, would not be excused.
Then came Mr. Rand's opening, in
which he said the states witnesses
would prove that Nan Patterson killed
Young and that the killing was planned
several hours before the morning on
which Young met his death.
William Junior, the policeman who
was first to reach the cab after the
shooting. testified that Miss Patterson
was hysterical and crying "Oh, Caesar
why did you do it?"
There was other interesting testi
mony. particularly that of Detective
Edward J. Quinn, who took Miss Pat
terson from the hospital where Young
died to the police station. He said the
woman said to him 81 don't want to
live now Why should he have killed
himself?" The officer said she faint
ed several times in the station house
and that several times she asked him
to kill her as she had nothing to live
for, now that Caesar was dead.

Important Tariff Decision.

Judge Hazel of the U. S. court
has handed down a decision that i'm.
ported raw silk wound on hobs"
should be assessed at 40 cents per
pound. For years raw silk has been
imported into this country from Japan,
duty free, under section 660 of the
tariff act. The foreign silk merchants
recently imported raw silk wound Oh
"bobs," the work done by the throws
ters, which they contended was en-
titled to entry free, under the section
quoted. Judge Hazel's decision will
cause the importers to bring in raw
silk IN skeins, as heretofore, and will
retain for the American throwster the
work of winding. The importance Of
the decision is shown by the fact that
there are $50 silk mills in this coun
try which import 100000 pounds Of
raw silk annually.
