MOODY NOT TO QUIT
 ROOSEVELT'S CABINET
GENERAL DECIDES
 TO RETAIN PORTFOLIO.

Had Said Prior to His Transfer from
 Navy Department That He Would Re-
 tire at the Conclusion of the Present
 Administration Changed His Mind
 on Being Given New Omce.
 Washington, Nov. 21.-It was an- nounced at the White house this after noon that Attorney General Moody has decided to remain in President Roose- Velt's new cabinet.
 Prior to his transfer from the navy department to the department of jus tice, MT. Moody authorized the state nent that at the conclusion of the pres ent administration he would retire from the cabinet to practice law in Bos- ton. It was stated, in this connection, that Mr. Moody had formed law part nership that was congenial and advan- tageous in all respects. It has been known for some time that the office of attorney general of the United States was entirely to MT. Moody's liking, and as 1t was known, also, that President Roosevelt desired that MN Moody should continue in the cabinet, the an- nouneement made to-day was not sur prising.
 It is understood that the president and MT. Moody are In perfect accord -ins their ideas as to the conduct of the de- partment, and, in order to carry into effect certain plans which the president and he have formulated, MT. Moody has decided, on the request of Mir. Roose- welt, to continue in offlce
 The decision of Attorney General Moody renders it reasonably certain that the heads of six of the great ex- ecutive departments of the government have been determined upon by the pres- ident for the next administration MT. Hay will continue as secretary of state; MT. Taft as secretary of war, MT. Met calf as secretary of commerce and la Dor, MT. Wilson as secretary of agri- culture, and George B. Cortelyou will be postmaster general after the fourth of next March. It is expected also that MT Shaw will continue as secretary of th5 treasury, and Mir. Morton as sec retary of the navy, but as to those two, no definite information is obtainable. A change is expected in the department of the interior, but Secretary Hitchcock has not let it be known publicly whether he desires to retire or not.

7. AND |. FOR soOIaLISM.
Overwhelmingly Passes .Resolution---
 Confidence in Mitchell and Golnpers

Overwhelmingly Passes .ResoIution---
 Confidence in Mitchell and Gompers.
 San Francisco. Nov. 21.-To-day,s session of the American Federation of Labor was most exciting. During the heated debate which followed the un- expected interjection of the question of socialism before the delegates, Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell were charg- led with being traitors to the cause of labor. These charges and the bitter so- caused by the introduction of the fol- lowing resolutions by Delegate Victor Berger 6? Milwaukee:
 Whereas, The unprecedented con- centration of wealth in the United States and the rapid development of the trusts in almost every branch of in- dustry make it obvious that capitalism will soon reach it's eliminating point, and will have to make room for another phase of civilization; and
 Whereas, It Is evident that this na- tion is destined to take the lead in this grand struggle for better conditions and higher culture; therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That we hereby recom- mend to all organizations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor to have their members study the conomic conditions; to have lectures upon these subjects in their lodge rooms, home and in meetings set apart for this purpose, and to do everything in their power for the enlightenment and intellectual ad- vaneement of the proletariat.'
 The resolutions committee reported to the convention that it recommended the adoption of the measure with the exception of the clause following the first whereas" A socialist delegate asked why the particular section should be expurged. This opened the food gates or oratory and vituperation, and the battle was not over until an hour and fifteen minutes after the reglar time for adjournment. By an over- whelming vote the delegates then pass ed the resolution as recommended by the committee and expressed their con- fidence in John Mitchell and Samuel Gompers.
 The trouble rose over a printed slip distributed to some delegates which charged Mir Gompers and MT. Mitchell with dining with President Eliot, of Harvard university. The article in question said the place at which the meal was eaten was an unfair house and that President Eliot was the man who called the "scab" hero. It bore the heading: Are they traitors?'

MISSING CONVICT CAUGHT.
Life Prisoner Hid Under Dock on Hud-
 son River

ossining, N. Y, Nov. 21-Charles w.. Johnson, the prisoner who was missing in Sing Sing prison Saturday evening, was caught late tonight by ruse. It was not believed in the prison that he had got outside the walls but he had. At 10:3O tonight the big Whiste in the prison sounded 70. K" This meant that search had been abandoned and that the guards who were watching the roads might come on or go to their homes. The cordon of guards and keepers had been instructed to remain on the alert until a single blast was sounded on the whistle. The blast came within fifteen minutes after 70. K" sounded. Johnson had climbed the iron fence which is the western boundary of the prison, dropped into the river, had swum outward beyond the north wall, and then up the river to the dock just north of the north wall and had concealed himself under the dock. His sufferings since Saturday must have been fearful, but he remained concealed until ten minutes after the 70. K" whistle sounded. Then he was sighted climbing up the piling and was seen to drag himself on to the dock. He lay there exhausted and when he started to struggle to his feet two guards seized him.

Woes Of Newspaper Correspondents In the East

til the present time the correspondents
have been obliged &c be satisfied with
bare liberation. There has been no
manifestation of the camaraderie that
prevailed in t,se Spanish war. Fleets of
newspaper dispatch boats do no; cruise
the sea of Japan. and il forIorn craft
is caught making for some cable port
with a news item on board IL is warned
that it is within the danger zone Both
the Japanese and the Russian censors
are adopts at their business. Whole ar
iaies have been moved without single
correspondent in the background. and
naval battles have been fought with no
one present to represent the public Gu
riosity.
Left to their own resources. the I'M
happy correspondents have been COM
PEELED TO struggle for mere foothold.
Between the difficulty of securing news
and the ironbound rigidity of the CEN
sors they have been distracted. They
have been outwitted at every turn.
Their requests have been smilingly ig
nored and their demands have been po-
Iiteiy refused. The much vaunted pow
er of the press has suffered a tremen-
dous loss of prestige An amusing but
rather pathetic instance OF this occur
red last spring. No fewer than eight
cen worried and disappointed corre-
spondents received orders at one time
TO report at Simonoseki, whence would
begin their journey to the front. With
unwonted alacrity they assembled their
belongings and betook themselves to
the Japanese seaport. They had been
kept waiting SO long ard had been sub
ject to so many detentions that they
We're almost afraid to hope. But, yes, it
was true: a transport was in readiness
to take thenl-somewhere. They could
not find out where that somewhere was
to be, but they prayed that it might be
Port Arthur. After three days of slow
and impatient sailing. during which they
received the most friendly attention of
the captain and his affable purser they
came to anchor-where? AT Port Ar
thur? No; at Dalny. Even there they
were not permitted to leave the ship.
The officers redoubled their attentions
and cruised about for three days longer.
After some time these men. eighteen of
the most famous war correspondents in
the world, were put ashore at Talien-
wan TRUMAN l.. ELTON.
