TO SUCCEED ". A. DAY
Some Of Those Spoken Of for
the Place.
PROMOTION LOOKED FOR
BELIEVED THAT SOME ONE IN
DEPARTMENT WILL BE CHOSEN.
Six Assistant Attorneys General Who
Are in Line of Ad-
vancement.

The resignation of w. A. Day, assistant
to the Attorney General. to accept the posi-
ton OF controller OF the Equitable Life In
surance Company, makes vacancy in the
department Of Justice that will be sought
by many The position pays $1,000 a year,
and is the closest of all places of that kind
to the Attorney General. 1t was created
Tor the especial purpose of handling trust
actions in the United States courts. and the
salary is paid out of the $500 900 appropria-
ton made by Congress to fight the trusts
Mr.. Day was the first man to fill the place
having been selected by Attorney General
Knox. Until this position was created there
were three assistant attorneys general, but
the trust agitation in Congress brought
about provision for two or three additional
assistants, and, in addition, the office of
special assistant attorney general was
created for Charles w. Russell
In rank and salary the solicitor general
Henry NJ. Hoyt, Is next to the Attorney
General. His salary is 1880 a year. just
$500 less than the Attorney General. but in
important legal matters relating to the
trusts the assistant to the Attorney General
Is the closest man to the Attorney General.
Mr.. Day occupied that relation officially
and personally with Attorney General Knox,
and has been on close terms with his sue
cessor, William H. Moody.
Assistant Attorneys General.
IT Is regarded probable that Attorney
General Moody will look upon the position
as one entirely at his disposal and not at
all of a political nature. The supposition
is strong that some of the assistant attor-
neys general have reason to hope to draw
the salary and attend to the duties There
are six of these men-LouiS A Pradt who
has charge OF claims before the Court of
Claims; Milton D. Purdy, who was recently
assigned to the handling of the cases against
the railroads for rebates; James G.. McRey-
nolds, Charles II. Robb John G.. Thomp-
son and William E. Fuller, in charge of
various lines of work in the department
IN addition TO these is Charles w. Russell,
special assistant attorney general and the
trusted representative of Attorney General
Knox in the Panama canal Investigations
some or the cases against the trusts and
various matters of foreign nature.
Mr.. Pradt is slated to retire from the de-
partment next fan or winter, it is said He
is said to desire to go back to private prac-
tce. He is from Wisconsin, protese of
Senator Spooner, and strong man in the
politics Of that state. He has had eight
years In the department and his record IS
unusually good John G. Thompson has
also been in the department eight years.
He has charge of Indian claims and cases.
He is from Illinois and Is backed by Sena-
tor Cullom and Speaker Cannon.

Faliacy Regarding Bread.

The fallacy that the whittier the
bread the higher its quality, seems to
prevail all over the world, and the de-
answered by the production of -four
which is robbed of considerable Of it's
nutritive value. There are various
ways Of accomplishing this object, but
the newest and most novel process for
the purpose comes from France. Here
the dough has been treated with ozon-
lied air. and the effect was that while
the bread was much whittier than the
untreated the quality Of the bread
taste and the amount Of nourishment
were very much inferior.
