SECRETARY MOODY
Rumored He VIII Undoubtedly BE
Appointed To Supreme Court.

Washington, Oct. 25.-While no
official statement is obtainable, un-
official Information confirms the re-
port that the president will appoint
Attorney General William H. Moody,
OF Massachusetts to the vacancy by
the retirement Of Associate Justice
Henry b. Brown.
The announced intention of the
president to appoint Mr. Moody to the
supreme court bench came as a sur
prise, as il was generally understood
that he had eliminated the attorney
general from consideration in that
connection because of the fact that
Massachusetts already had a repre-
sentative on the bench in the person
of Associate Justice Holmes.
Mr.. Moody's nomination will be
sent to the senate when congress con-
venes, but the general expectation is
that he will not take his seat on the
bench until about January /. when,
as previously announced, he ex-
poets to retire from the attorney
generalship.

The Retirement of Fish Would
Put Harahan In Line.
w. J. Harahan Would Then BE
Made Second vice-President OF
the Great System.
CHANGES ARE MERE RUMORs

The retirement OF Mr.. Fish from
the presidency Of the Illinois Cen
trail will undoubtedly be succeeded
by several changes in the personnel
of the official management of the
road. 1t has been rumored for sew
Fish lost his fight with Mr.. Harri-
man the formers successor as presl-
dent would be j. 7. Harahan, now
the second vice-president. The hasty
return of Mr.. Harahan from Europe
last summer at the outset OF bust
ness hostilities between Mr.. Fish
and Mr.. Hartman gave this ru-
NOR the color of probability. for the
reason that Mr.. Harahan is identi-
fed solely with the operating de-
partment of the Illinois Central, and
his presence at the Fish, Hartman
clash could hardly be desired or
sought for its effect upon the issue.
It was limited at the time that the
urgent request for Mr.. Harahan to
forego further pursuit of his vaca-
ton in Europe was Mr.. Harriman's
desire to discuss with him the presi-
dency of the Illinois Central. II
should be understood in this connec-
ton that the relations between Mr..
Harahan and Mr.. Fish are cordial.
and apparently have suffered no
strain because of the rivalry between
the latter and Mr.. Hartman for con-
troll of the policy OF the Illinois Cen
trail. Should Mr.. Harahan be promot-
ed to the presidency. his successor
as second vice-president will proba-
bly, be his son, w. j. Harahan.
whose advancement has been steady
from the beginning of his career
with the Illinois Central.
Mr.. w, J. Harahan. Is very well
known in Paducah where he has a
host of friends, and the rumored
changes in the officers Of the system
will create great interest here. His
rise In the railroad business has
been very rapid. Only a few years
ago he was superintendent of the
Louisville division, and went from
there to New Orleans and then to
Chicago. his present position.

SERIOUS SITUATION
BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY
TRAINMEN LINE UP.
Demand OF Eight Hours TOR All
Switchmen asked OF the
Railroads.

Chicago. Oct. 10 The western
railroads are facing a serious labor
problem The Brotherhood of Rail-
way .Trainmen on behalf of its
swltchmen today presented demands
to all railroads centering in Chicago
for an eight hour day. The Brother
hoods action follows that of the
Switchmen's union which presented
similar demands some time ago. but
the two movements are independent
of each other.
The railroads, however. will be
obliged to deal now with practically
the whole organized strength of the
switchmen instead of the fractional
part, represented by the Switchmen's
union. In this respect the move Is
the most extensive attempted by
railroad employee organization In
many years. Every railroad west OF
Pittsburg and Buffalo in the United
States Is involved.

A SUIT AGAINST
THE DICK FOWLER
For Discrimination With Pas
sengers Brought at Cairo.
Negroes Who Are Denied "a Ride In
the Cabin With White People
Sue for Damages.
SOME FINE POINTS COME UP

A case of great interest to steam
moat men and the travelling public
comes up for trial at Cairo today in
the suit of some negroes against the
steamer Dick Fowler for refusing to
allow them to ride in the cabin with
the white passengers, and some fine
legal points will be made.
According to the Illinois law, there
is no distinction made between the
different races on common carriers,
in fact there can be no discrimina-
ton, but under the Kentucky laws
separate coaches have to be provid-
ed.
The suit is for $4,000.
In cases of jurisdiction on the
Ohio river II has been decided that
Kentucky's jurisdiction extends 10
the Illinois banks, and this point
will probably be made in the case al
Cairo, and If sustained the owners
of the Fowler will win.
