While the report of the foundering of

Because Thomas Wackford acciden-
tally trod on Mrs. Frank Donahue's
dress Sunday night her husband felled
him to the sidewalk, causing injuries
that resulted fatally. Donahue was ar
rested yesterday and his name was en-
tered on the detinue book.
Wackford was passing a house at 93S
Mission street, on his return from the
Central Methodist Church, when he ac-
cidentally trod on a woman's skirt. He
attempted to apologize, but the woman
disappeared into the doorway. Wack-
ford continued on his way to 926 Mis-
sion street, where he roomed. When
he was almost at the threshold of the
house a man rushed up TO him and
shouted: You insulted. my wife!'
Wackford, who was a courteous and
quiet man, several years past the
prime of life, attempted to explain, but
the other man, who-it was afterWard
learned-was Donahue, would listen to
no explanations You insulted my
Wife" he repeated, and struck Wack
ford on the temple. Wackford fell,
striking his head forcibly against the
pavement For some time he lay stun
ned When he recovered his senses he
entered the house where he lived and,
with the assistance of Edward Fraser,
his landlady's son, went TO the Central
|. Emergency Hospital.
When Wackford arrived there he had
apparently recovered from the effects
of the fall and there was nothing to in
dicate that he had been hurt except a
slight cut and a few contusions of the
scalp DR.. Pinkham dressed these. and
as the patient insisted on returning to
his home the surgeon permitted him to
go. He showed none of the symptoms
of fractured skull.
Yesterday morning when the land
lady attempted to wake him Wackford
was found to be in a serious condition
and was barely conscious. An ambu-
lance was sent for and the injured man
was again taken to the Central Emer-
gency Hospital. BY that time he
showed pronounced symptoms Of a
fractured skull.
Seeing that an immediate operation
was Wackfords only chance for life,
removed to the operating room and at
tempted to trephine the skull. but
Wackford died on the table.

NEXT CABINET
NOW SELECTED
Only Change Regarded Prob
able Will Be in the Depart
ment of the Interior

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-It was an
nounced at the White House to-day
that AttorneysGerera Moody has de-
velt's new Cabinet.
Prior to his transfer from the Navy
Department to the Department Of JUS
tice, 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 connec-
ton that Moody had rorIned a law
partnership that was cOngenial and
advantageous in all respects. This was
given as his only reason for retiring
from public life. 1t was known for
some time that the Office Of Attorney
General of the United States was en-
entirely to Moody's liking. and as it
was also known that President Roose-
welt desired that Moody should con-
tfn1e- in the Cabinet, the announcement
made to-day vas not surprising.
The decision of the Attorney General
renders it reasonably certain that the
heads of six of the great departments
of the Government have beAn deter
r,,ined on by the President for the
next administration. Hay will continue
at the head of the State Department:
Taft at the head of the War Depart
nert Metcalf at the head of the De

from the streets TO the tunnels; the
transferring of all newspapers for out
of-town circulation to the early trains
through the tunnels. The tunnel will
also be used for the transferring Of
mail between the main postoffice and
the railroad stations and between rail-
roads. The letter boxes will be so con-
nected with the tunnels that when mail
Is dropped in the boxes it will drop
down to the level of the tunnels and
be taken to the postoffice. The tunnel
provides a means for the transporta-
tion of freight and of handling it ex-
peditiously without compelling the rail-
roads to absorb high priced property IN
the center Of the city for freight puE-
poses. Freight yards can now be
moved out ten or fifteen miles and the
freight transferred and the trains run
into the passenger stations with electric
locomotives, thus doing away with over
50 per cent Of all smoke in the heart of
the city.
