MOODY IS TO RETIRE
Washington Rumor Says Change Viii
Take Place in Fall.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-There is
a rumor current mere that Attorney
General Moody will retire from the
cabinet in the fall to resume his pri-
vate law practice in Boston, and that
the president will name Secretary
Taft as his successor.
There is a sentimental reason for
this. Secretary Taft's father served
first as secretary of war. and later as
attorney general, and his son would,
therefore, be glad to fill the same po-
sition. But of more weight than the
sentimental reason is the practical
reason for such a change.
Taft today is potentially the strong
est man mentioned for the republican
nomination in 1908. and If the presi-
dent desires Taft to be the next pres
ident, he could not indicate that desire
more strongly. than by placing Taft in
a position where he could add greatly
to his already large prestige.

Blown Up by His Own Bomb.

WARSAW, May 19.-At noon today
two detectives gave chase to poorly
dressed workman whose actions
aroused their suspicious. In trying to
avoid the officers he fell and bomb
which was concealed in his pocket, ex-
ploded, killing the workman. Two de-
tectiyes and a Jew who happened to
he passing along were blown to frag-
ments. 1t is believed the workman,
WAS living in wait for the governor
general who was expected to pass
shortly on his way to the cathedral to
celebrate the birthday of the czar.
Fifteen persons were injured by the
explosion of the bomb. The BODY of
the man who carried the bomb was
identified as that of shoemaker
named Dobowelski. He was never
suspected Of being a revolutionary.
Many arrests of his associates are in
progress.

THE ANTI-UNIONISTS OUTVOTED
IN THE SELECTION OF
COMMITTEES.
A Majority Report in Favor of Uniting
With the Presbyterians Will
Be Made.

FRESNO, May 19.-The business OF
the Cumberland Presbyterian confer
ence was today mostly a routine report
on organic union, which was referred
to a special committee of three union
lists and two anti-unionists. The anti
unionists tried for another member on
the committee but failed, showing
those in favor of uniting with the
other branch of the church to be in
control.
If the unionists join the Presbyter-
ian church the anti-unionists will de-
clare the unionists boilers and will
take the matter to court to protect
$S,000,000 worth of church property.
The unionists realize this and wish to
defer the matter until the next as
sembly when they will be better or
ganized. 1t is their purpose simply
to declare for union at this assembly.

Female Crusader Attempts to Stop
Sunday Baseball Game

HUTCHINSON, Mimi, May 10
Wrapped in an American flag and
bearing a copy of the Minnesota
statutes, Mrs. M. Lille Slaight last
Sunday took up the crusade against
Sunday baseball in Hutchinson, and
invaded the diamond in an attempt to
prevent the game. The crusade was
begun by the Hutchinson clergymen,
but was dropped when the city author
tiles declined to act on their petition to
suppress the games. A game between
Huntcninson and Cokato teams was
announced for Sunday. Mrs. Slaight,
who is we'll known throughout Mime
sofa in connection with the w. C. T.
U. and l. 0. G. T., sent protests to the
churches which were read at the morn
ing services Then she placarded the
town with notices declaring that 100
mothers" had decided no Sunday base
ball should be played in Hutchinson.
When the crowd assembled for the
game, placardS were found declaring
that ito molest the flag while it is
floating in defense of law is high trea-
son. "
When George J. Jones, as umpire,
called Play Ball." Mrs. Slaight, flag
enwrapped. took a position between the
pitcher and catcher. Cnarrerdon, the
pitcher, tried curving the ball around
her. Then two batteries were put on
the field. and Mrs. Slaight lodged
about, enieayoring to prevent play.
She succeeded in preventing fast play,
and the crowd took up a solution OF
the problem, gathering closely around
her and moving her off the field Mrs
Slaight protesting vehemently. The
ruse succeeded and the game was play
ed to completion.

SUPPLY STATE WITH BEEF.
Federal Authorities Inquire Of Gov.
Mead on Operations of "Trust."'

OLYMPIA, May 19.-The federal au-
thorities investigating the. beef trust"
have asked the assistance of Governor
Mead and District Attorney Jesse Frye
in the work. In letter to the govern
or United States Attorney c. B. Nor
rison, of Chicago, asks information re-
garding the trusts efforts to secure
contracts with institutions of this state.
Governor Mead referred the letter to
the state board of control, which today
prepared a report. This report shows
that the trust has not been interested,
all the contracts for beef in Washing
ton having been made with local men
or firms.
According to this report, the range
of prices from 1902 to this year has
been generally downward. On Octo-
Der 1. 1902, the Western Washington
hospital for insane paid $685. per 100
pounds, one year later 1884 and in
April of this year $4.64. For beef fur
nished the soldiers home the price in
1902 was s7.44 and this year s6.49. For
the state reform school the price came
down from s7.75 to .s5.72. At Van
couver, Wash, in supplying the state
school for defective youth, the price in
1902 was S1a cents for fore quarters
and 91a cents for hind quarters. In
1905 it was cents per cut.
