Officials Guessing.

The department is wondering whether
the reports OF a proposed reorganization
coming from Lenox are based upon a
state Of mind on the part Of the At
torney General similar 10 his feelings
when he made the speech Of some
months ago that stirred up the depart
ment Naturally there is some nervous
ness over the situation and there will
be until Mr. Bonaparte's plans are more
fully known.
What well-advised officials of the De-
partment OF Justice say they believe At
torney General Bonaparte has in mind Is
az enlargement Of the department, such
as will make il commensurate with the
demands upon it. 1t is expected the
Attorney General will ask Congress for
much larger appropriation than usual
The exact amount is not known, but
there is no doubt substantial arguments
can be made to Congress why Lne Depart
ment Of Justice should be provided for
en- a more liberal scale. It Is pointed out
that the demands on the department are
constantly increasing, and yet that the
appropriations made for II are extreme
ly low.
A high official Of the department. today
talked about the conditions that demand
an enlargement of the Department OF
Justice. He said the activities OF the
Government against the trusts, rebate
giving railroads. and the like were con-
stantly growing. Just now, the Govern
nient IS engaged in graphing with the
most powerful monopoly in the world
the Standard OIL Company. This cas-
is virtually a test of the Sherman anti
| trust law.

DEPARTMENT
The Attorney General
Thought to Plan En-
larged Staff.

That Attorney General BOnaparte has
made up his mind TO reform and enlarge
in sweeping measure the Department Of
Justice. is the opinion expressed here
today by men familiar with the situa-
ton.
Inquiry at the department discloses
the belief that Attorney General Bona
parte does not have In mind wedding
out of officials. Nevertheless it is re-
called that IN an address IN Baltimore
some months ago the Attorney General
made caustic remarks at the expense OF

Blind at the Library.

Miss Winifred Holt, daughter of the
noted New York publisher. who abandoned
her fame as a sculptress and an honored
place in New York social life to devote her
entire time to uplifting the blind. lectured
yesterday afternoon in the reading room for
the blind at the Library of Congress to a
large audience of all classes and embracing
also many blind persons.
Miss Holt lectured on Monday at Mrs.
Herbert Wadsworth's. and again laid great
stress upon the necessity Of instructing the
sightless to make them wage earners. She
spoke OF what had been accomplished by
the blind and of their remarkable ability.
"The greatest postmaster general of Eng
land" she said. was a blind man, who
was said. when in Office, to have his eye on
everything. This was Fawcett, who was
also a member of parliament. Sanderson
