Moreover. during 1904, although II was a

MORTON TO QUIT l..
WITHIN 6 WEEKS
Secretary of the Navy Will Not
Wait Till Fall to Leave
Cabinet.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, May ia Washington spe-
cial to The Tribune says:
A definite decision has been reached
IN the case of the secretary Of the navy,
Paul Morton, fixing the date Of his re-
tirement from public life. He announced
the other day he would not retire until
fall. He was mistaken. It is intended
he shall leave the cabinet within six
weeks. This meets the approval both
OF Secretary Morton and President
Roosevelt.
Secretary Morton does not like Of
fetal life, but he refused to resign while
under fire, and the president SYM
to Secretary Morton after he leaves the
cabinet is not known, but he will not be
prosecuted in connection with the Santa
Fe case while he is in the cabinet. The
interest of the administration ceases at
this point. If the grand jury should
indict him it will be as Paul Morton
and not as the secretary of the navy.
How near Secretary Morton is to leav-
ing the cabinet is indicated by the fact
that his successor is said to have been
determined upon. The portfolio, accord
ing to rumor, will be offered to Victor
Fl: Metcalf, secretary of commerce and
labor. It is a post Secretary Metcalf
always has wanted. He was slated for
the secretaryship of the navy when the
president first offered him a, place in
the cabinet. But the president also
wanted Secretary Morton as an adviser.
