REORGANIZATION OF
 ROOsEVELT'S CABINET
@oRTO% AT MOODY WILL FE. TIRE IN THE NEAR FUTURE
 SAYS REPORT.
While it is Believed that Roosevelt Has Decided That Taft is the Man 10 Make Promised Fight on Trusts as Attorney-General.

Washington, D. C., May 23.-It is the general expectation of people ir touch with the White House. that there will be pretty thorough reor ganization of the cabinet within a month or six weeks.
 It is now pretty well settled that Morton and Moody will retire, and there is no certainty that John Hay will ever again resume duty at the state department
 William H Taft is slated to sue ceed Moody as attorney general. when the latter retires from the cabinet tO take up the practice of law in Boston, his home city That at any rate, is the present plan of President Roose- welt. Mir. Moody is expected 10 re tire within Q few months. The trans fer of the secretary of war to his place is agreeable to MT Taft and especial Iy so at time when the department of justice is engaged with legal prob lens whose importance has never been eXcelled
 Just now the department is busily occupied with the enforcement of the law against the alleged unlawful trusts and combinations Under its direction an investigation is being made of the American Tobacco com pany, usually referred to as the tobac- co trust This inquiry is being con ducted from more than one point, and is going to be very thorough. accord ing to all information. The depart ment is not yet through with the beef trust, so called. and representatives Of the attorney general are engaged n Chicago in an effort to prove that the big packers have been violating the federal injunction dissolving their combination.
 Another line of action the depart ment is pursuing relates to the en- forcement of the laws regulating inter state commerce. For several months former Attorney General Judson liar mon, of Cincinnati, and Frederick H. Judson, a St. Louis attorney. have been preparing a case against the San ia Fe and other western railroads. for having violated. il is claimed. fed eral injunction against the granting of rebates 10 preferred shippers.
 It may become necessary before long for the government to institute action against other large corpora tions on account of their supposed dis regard of the antitrust laws, and among them may be mentioned the Standard Oil company, which is now being investigated by the department of commerce and labor.
 Altogether the department is unus- ually active in the direction of prose cutting alleged viOlators of the anti trust and anti-rebate statutes.
 This means that when MT. Taft be comes attorney general there will be c vast amount of very important work for him to do. This will suit Mir. Taft. inasmuch as he is a man of in- defatigable energy and industry. Moreover, he revels in tackling big questions, and there is nothing agitat ing the public mind just now so much as the proper regulation of big corpor- ations and railroads. The president has well defined ideas on the solu- ton of this economic problem, and un- der his administration the depart ment of justice is looked to to supply t. Secretary Taft is in perfect ac- cord with him in regard to the en- torcement of the statutes and the means of correcting the evils com Dlained of Therefore, it is not at all surprising that MT. Roosevelt has se- lected him for his next attorney gen eral.
 Mir. Taft is credited with possessing one of the finest legal minds in the United States. Even now he Is as nucn the presidents legal counsellor as Attorney General Moody.
