The designations of Secretary Cor
telyou and Attorney General Knox
have been received and accepted to
take. effect July /.
When Secretary Cortelyou was des-
ignated by President Roosevelt to be
his campaign manager, it was certain
that he would retire from the cabinet
upon his assumption of duties as
chairman of the republican national
committee. Just before he left Chica-
go last Wednesday, he placed in the
hands of the president his letter of
resignation from the department of
commerce and labor. 1t was under
stood between the president and him
that the resignation was to be ac-
ceptei to take effect at the end of
the present fiscal year, June 80, in

lgnation at that time would afford
him an opportunity to complete some
work in the department which he had
initiated and which 1t was important
he should carry to conclusion.
One week ago yesterday Attorney
General Knox formally announced
that he would retire from the depart
ment of justice, probably at the end
of the fiscal year. 1t was understood
at the same time that Secretary
Moody would succeed Mr. Knox as
attorney general. The statement was
made, however, that, while the trans
fer of Secretary Moody to the depart.
ment of justice was very probable, it
was dependent, in a measure, on the
presidents success in securing such a
