afternoon which bore the marks of
authenticity that Morgan H. Beach,
United States Attorney for the District,
intends in the near future TO tender his
resignation to the Attorney General
An effort was made to see Mr. Beach
and have him verify or deny the rumor
but without success
About - 3 ago similar rumor
was circulaf{d. and the truth Of it
was denied by Mr.. Beach and ms de-
NAL substantiated by his retaining the
Office of district attorney.
Already, however, the friends Of sev-
erai asplrants for the Office held by Mr..
Beach are urging their appointment by
the President Among those most
prominently mentioned yesterday in
connection with the filing OF the va
cancy in the event of the resignation
of Mr. Beach are Edward II. Thomas,
at present First Assistant Corporation
Counsel, and Daniel w. Baker. OF the
law firm of Lambert & Baker Both
of these gentlemen are acknowledged
TO be lawyers of undoubted ability and
have had a great deal of experience in
practice in the criminal courts of the
District.
Mr.. Thomas served as one OF the
assistant district attorneys while A. s.
WorthingtCn was district attorney foI
the District and Mr.. Baker was also a
member of the staff Of assistants under
Henry z. Davis while he directed the
affairs of the Office Their ability as
lawyers and other qualifications splen-

ton Of District attorney should there
be a vacancy in the office and their

The Hen Profitable.

Some one has said that many
farmers wives are making more
on the amount of money in
vested in hens than their hus-

amount invested in land or stock.
We have no doubt that this is
true, and the hen ought to take
higher rank among farm stock
than she does. Biddy is seldom
mentioned among the assets of
the farmer, and yet she may be
able to purchase the clothing for
wife and children, and often
does as much or more than that.
