Jackson says his actions are unac-

PRESIDENTS ACTS POINTED
Probably Meant to Impress His Disap-

uTy-PTobabIe Successor.
PRESIDENTS ACTS POINTED

Differences between the President and
Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw. grow
ing cut of the President s manifest dis
position to Interfere with the handling
OF the Federal Governments relations
TO the yellow fever situation In New
Orleans, are said TO have made the re
tirement OF Secretary Shaw possibility
of the near future
The Public Health and Marine Hospi-
tai Service is directly under the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, but II has been
noted from the beginning of the New
Orleans trouble that the President has
shown a disposition TO step over the
head of Secretary Shaw and issue or
ders directly to Surgeon General Wy
man.
This is said on high authority to have
been resented by the Secretary. and
the knowledge Of his attitude toward
the matter Is the basis of the rumors
that he may retire.
Does Not Like Shaw.
Back CT all this. il is said. is the Pres
ident's attitude toward the candidacy
OF Secretary Shaw for the Presidency,
and especially the Presidential dissat-
is1actlOn with Secretary ShaW's activity
In promoting mis- interests.
Whether il be Root or Taft. the feel
ing IS strong that the President feels
an interest in another Presidential can
didate than Secretary Shaw. and does
not approve OF the latter's ardOr In puT-
suit Of his boom.
IN this situation the President is cred
tied with distinct willingness that the
Secretary of the Treasury should retire
~ any time that seems desirable
Effective Method.
No more effective method could be en-
pIoyed TO impress this view on the Sec
retary than the series of interferences
in the conduct OF the New Orleans af-
fair.
In case of the retirement OF Secre-
tary Shaw. the names of several men
are discussed as possible appointees.
Hamilton Fish. subtreasurer at New
York, is one Of these. Another is Post
master General C0TteivOu.
Assistant Secretary Charles II. Keep,
who came from Buffalo. and is therefOrs
available us New York State man
without being Il New York city man,
IS talked of as possible selection. For
mer Comptroller Charles G. Dawes, now
connected with q big Chicago bank. and
John r. Yerkes. Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, are also discussed in
this connection.
