MOODY AT HIS DESK.
Several Important Matters Are De-
nlanding His Attention.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Attorney Cen
eral Moody was at his desk in the de-
partment of justice today. In speak
ing of the reasons for his return to
Washington at this time, he said that
there were several matters of consid-
cradle Importance which required his
attention. among them being that of a
successor to Judge Cotton who was
appointed United States district judge
in Oregon and declined the place.
There are several other matters of
trust litigation which require his at
tention. In answer to an inquiry con-
corning the cotton leak the attorney
general said that District Attorney
Beech was quite able to properly con-
duct the investigation without assist
ance, but that as this was a matter of
personal evidence. it seemed fitting
that the head of the department
should assume a personal RESPONSE
biIity in the matter.

INTERNATIONAL RACES.
Negotiations Pending for a Series With
Germany.


New York, Aug. Negotiations
are pending, it is announced, for in
ternational yacht races between the
United States and Germany. They
have been informally undertaken by
coterie of American yachtsmen, prin-
cipally eastern racing men, and are
being carried on with members of the
Imperial Yacht club at Kiel. The Ger
man emperor is understood to have
manifested a keen interest in the pro-
posaI, and while he has not as yet in
dicated his entire approval of the plan.
is disposed to favor it. If satisfactory
conditions can be formulated, 1T is
practically certain that the races will
be arranged.
The idea is not for contests of ninety
footers, but to widen the interest by
giving more opportunity to racing men
to actively participate in the sport and
to make the contests for boats that
are of healthy type and not mere rae
ing machines.
The racing length of the contestants
is now a matter of negotiation. The
Americans favor the 33 raters which
are popular among German clubs and
the idea has generally been met with
approval.
The plan is to have three boats sail
for each country and the race to be
determined by the general excellence
of the three. If this idea meets with
the enthusiasm expected, it is proposed
not to arrange for one race, but to
make the contest either an annual or
a biennial event to be alternately on
this and the other side of the water.

fish government as a site for colony.
It would have been the beginning of
a movement that would have had
worldwide significance and would
have made a haven where prosecuted
Jews could have taken refuge"
DR.. Cyrkin, radical. said: "We in
tend to conduct the new Zionist party
on democratic principles, and the new
organization will be completed along
the lines originally planned for the old
Zionist party. We will establish a
central committee in Paris, with
branches throughout the whole
world"
Israel Zangwill, the author, said:
1.-The rejecting of the English offer, if
it had been agreed to by the majority
of our people, would have been the
deathblow to practical Zionism and
would have reduced the movement to
chase of phantoms. Zionism will
be rescued by the territorialists, who
have abandoned the original move
ments and have organized a new
movement that is bound to be crowned
with success.
Banker Wolfsohn, of London, de-
clared that the congress had been abb
solutely without fruit and that its
session will greatly retard the growth
of the movement. 1.-THE riotous
scenes" he said. "discredited Zionists
in the eyes of the world, and it will
be long. uphill task to recover the
lost ground"

MAGNETIC SURVEY.
Will Be Undertaken in the Pacific by
Scientists.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-A magnetic
survey of the North Pacific ocean will
be inaugurated within the next few
days by the department of interna-
tional research in terrestrial magnet
ism, of the Carnegie institution of
Washington.
A wooden sailing. vessel, the brig
Galilee, has been fully adapted for the
purposes of the expedition at this port
'latter part of the week on her first
seasons work.
The object of the expedition is to Sc
cure precise data of the distribution of
the magnetic forces over the Pacific
ocean. Except for data from occa-
sionaI expeditions and such as were
acquired in wooden vessels a long time
by the navigator over this region de-
pend largely upon the observations on
islands along the coasts. Such land
observations, however, are rarely rep
resentative of the true values because
of prevalent local disturbances. 1t is,
statement as to the correctness of the
present charts. rs
The director of the, work is DR.. L.
A. Bauer, who is likewise in charge
of the magnetic work of the United
States coast and geodetic survey.
The scientific leader and comman-
der of the Galiiee will be J. F. Pratt

perience in astron omical, geodetic,

are DR.. J. Hobart Egbert, magnetic

That Is Why George Washington
Dusenberry Lost His Job.

George Washington Dusenberry. the one
armed veteran who claims the distinction
of being the only policeman who ever
made his position pay his salary, is look
in= for job.
Dusenberry, who was formerly employ

policeman, was let out the pres
ent administration took the saddle. The
old soldier had been very jealous in max
ing arrests for picketing COWS, allowing
horses to stand without hitching and other
minor offenseS. He was very successful in
catching the little offenders and it was his
pride that the fines from his arrests more
than paid his salary. His great zeal in
this line brought him the ill will of nu-
merous citizens and he was canned" His
efforts to get back on the force seem to
have been fruit1ess.
Il was fired for working too hard said
Dusenberry last evening, land now I am
looking for a job where one of two con-
ditions prevail: either cut out everything
but the pay, or make it so I can do what
l am hired and sworn to do without doing
too much.
After was let out went to see Mayor
Davis. I asked him why was fired. He
started to hem and haw and interrupted:
Didn't do my duty?' Yes he answered,
that's the trouble; you did too much -
Dusenberry filed demand for the re-
turn of his job, under the old soldier pref
erence law. bat SO far has failed to real
ize on his demand.

Though the $64,0 necessary to
cover cost of construction has been
secured, there is yet $4,000 needed to
cover cost of furnishing. This, with
the work of collecting the whole

that all who have made pledges should

they do object to forcing the outside

that the work is done directly under

New York, Aug. S.-Baron Won
Hengelmuller, the Austro-Hungarian
from Europe denies that Austria-Hun-

United States. There is a scarcity
instead of a surplus of unskilled labor
in Austria Hungary said he, land
getting enough help to harvest their
crops. There was an abundance of
such labor, but emigration has
changed the situation entirely. Wages
for unskilled labor have advanced so
as in America and there is no object
for laborers to leave their native land"
