PRESIDENT OF LEAGUE

Newark n. j., Oct. 25.-At yesterdays g

his report. He urged that the organiza-
tion strengthen it's means OF defence. He
said in this connections:
80 much has been accomplished by
the Anti-Saloon league that IL would
seem unnecessary TO call attention to the
great danger that confronts us. but the
fact remains that there are those en-
gagged in the business who appreciate the
gravity Of the situation only when 1t is

MOODY TO HAVE
VACANCY IN j. s.
SUPREME COURT

Washington. Oct. 25.--Unofficial an
nouncement was made at the White
House yesterday OF the intention OF Pres
ident Roosevelt to appoint Attorney GEN
eral Moody OF Massachusetts, 10 the seat
on the supreme court bench that was
vacated by the retirement OF Justice Hen
ry H. Brown Mr.. Moodys resignation
from the cabinet. which was announced
officially at the White House Tuesday. is
regarded as the prelude 10 Mr. Moody's
new appointment
The announced intention of the presi-
dent 10 appoint Mr.. Moody came as a
surprise, as IL was generally understood
that he had eliminated the attorney gen
eral from consideration in that direction
because OF the fact that Massachusetts
had already a representative on the bench
IN the person OF Associate Justice Holmes,
Mr. Moody's nomination will be sent TO
the senate when congress convenes, but
the general expectation is that he VIII
not take his seat on the bench until Jan.
/, when. as already announced, he ex-
poets 10 retire from the attorney general
ship.
The only surprise in the announcement
from the White House Tuesday night
relating 10 the reorganization OF the caD-
met is that oscar s. Straus Is TO enter the
presidents official family as secretary OF
the department OF commerce and labor
Mr.. Strauss name has not been connected
with the place. The general impression
among public men was that the president
would go west for a new cabinet man
In some quarters the disposition is 10
believe that the president selected MI
Straus and made the announcement at
this time with the hope OF Influencing
the campaign in New York state. IL b
well known that the Hebrew vote IN New
York has been tending toward Hearst
Mr.. Straus. as a leader OF his race, may
be able. II is suggested, TO turn the TIDE
I'm his state. In general way the ap-
pointment OF Mr.. Straus Is highly com !.
niended lie s looked upon as a man OF
excellent ability. and his public service
in the past has been such as TO recon-
mend him for the work he will now nave
10 do.
Naturally there is some disappointment
among westerners here because the pres
ident has seen ht TO take three members
OF his cabinet from New ork state win
the coming in OF Strauss the administra-
tIon is going to be pretty much OF an
eastern affair. With the president ana
three members Of his cabinet from New
York one member from MASSACHUSETTS
and one member frop Maryland, the Al
lantic coast will be in control OF course
this Is immaterial and yet II is thing
that public men will gossip about. Ihe
other changes in the cabinet had all been
forestaled and they seem 10 meet with
the general approval.
