Pinchot in Cabinet ?
TIuCHOt In NHUIueI9 Washington Dispatch to New York Tres

Washington Dispatch to New York Press.
 One more change in the Roosevelt cabi- net. the last possible for the present, is scheduled by the politicians tonight to take place on March 4, when Secretary Shaw, of the Treasury, and Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior, are to retire If the men named as their successors shoud be confirmed by the Senate. This latest reported Cabinet change refers to the Hast of the Mohicans," |" Secretary James Wilson of the Department of Agriculture.
 Clifford Pinchot, now chief of the Bureau of Forestry, is thu man picked to displace Wilson. Secretary Wilson and Secretary Hitchcock are the only two surviving mem bers of the Mckinley Cabinet left in the Roosevelt official family. Mir. Wilson's re- tirement would make a complete Roose- welt following in the Cabinet and there have been rumors for some time that he would quit soon
 When the definite change was decided on is conjectural, but it is understood that President Roosevelt believed that as two of the older men in the Cabinet. Secretaries Shaw and Hitchcock. were to retire on March l. Secretary Wilson should not stand on the manner of his going at the same time.

PUSHGAMBLN ING LAW
JEROME TO AMEND ANTl-RACiNG
 STATUTE.
Make It a Misdemeanor to Make or Receive Bet on Horse Race in New York
 State.

New York, Jan. 13.-It was an- nounced tonight that District Attorney Jerome will go to Albany tomorrow to present some amendments to the Percy-Gray gambling law which are de- signed to change certain sections Of the penal code relating to bookmaking and betting on horse races. II the proposed amendments are adopted, the District Attorney believes 1t will not be so difficult to prosecute Vloiators or the gambling laws.
 MT. Jeromes plan is to make it a misdemeanor to accept bets on horse race at race tracks, in a pool room or at any other place. The effect would be. it is declared, to materially re- strict or entirely prohibit racing in New York State.
 Mir. Jerome will try to wipe out cer- tain sections of the Percy-Gray law. In one bill he seeks to deliver death blow to that section which says that the only penalty for bookmaking at the race tracks shall be the recovery of the bet by a. civil suit. In another bill he proposes to amend the penal code so as to make bookmaking at the track or any other place misdemeanor in- stead of a felony, the punishment to be not more than one year in the peniten- tiary or a fine of $500 or both.
 Relating to these two bills, the Dis trict Attorney has drawn a bill to pro- vide for the income which agricultural societies throughout the State receive through the provisions of the Percy Gray law. Instead of getting certain per cent of the receipts of the racing associations, he provides that cer- tain fixed sum shall be appropriated out of the State treasury for agricultural purposes. His plan is to do away with the speculative income from racing and have fixed sum set apart by the State.

TROUBLES TOO MUCH TO BEAR Factory Employe Takes
 Own Life. HAN SWALLOWS MORPHINE Purchases Drug from Doctor and
 Boasts of Deed. psmestic Troubles said to Re Cause of Rash Act--said He Wanted Medicine to Cure
 Headache.
 

James l.. Pye, factory empl,ye of West End, committed suicide yester- day morning at his residence, No. [ Factory Row. by taking an overdose Of morphine. He was discovered in an unconscious condition at 10 o'clock, and the opiate's effect was so power <rl he could not be revived.
 The dead man left note by his side, addressed to his wife as follows:
 My troubles is more than I can bear; so goodbye.
 "Your husband.
 "J. L.. Pye."
 Coroner Tice was summoned to the residence yesterday afternoon and, af- ter an investigation, pronounced death to have been due to an overdose of morphine.
 Domestic troubles appear to have been the cause of the dead mans rash deed. He and his wife, it is said, had been separated several times. She left him quite while ago with her chil- dren and went to Union Springs, where she was when her husband took the poison.
 The drug was secured by the dead man from the drug store of Dr. W. F.. Sadler in West End. Pye went to the pharmacy Saturday night and held conversation with pr. Sadler. He ap- peared deeply depressed, and indicated that he was troubled. In this mood he left Dr. Sadler and, 1t is suppose, he returned to his home.
 He appeared at the drug store again nbout o'clock yesterday morning and made application to Dr. Sadler to pur- chase 25 cents worth of morphine. Ac- cording to Dr. Sadler the man said he had a headache and desired to use the morphine as a remedy.
 The physician asked Pye If he knew what he was doing. that he could give him something else to cure his head ache. Pye replied he had had a great deal of experience with the drug and he knew it's effects. Thereupon the druggist sold him the morphine and Pye left the shop.
 Pye returned to the pharmacy about two hours later and boastingly said he had taken all the morphine and it would not be long before his troubles would be at an, end. Dr. Sadler did not regard him seriously. After a brief conversation, the man again re- turned to his home where he was dis covered an houf later in a dying con- dition.
 The dead man was 30 years old. His remains will be shipped to Tallassee this morning for interment.

No More Lieutenant Generals.


 The army appropriation bill of last winter included a proposition to abolish the rank of lieutenant general The provision was ruled out. if memory serves us, on a point of order. The bill which will be considered during the present session includes a similar provision. It is much to be hoped that our legislators will give 1t their approval Ths grade of lieutenant general is entirely su- perfluous if not entirely ridiculous in time nk peace and is quite unnecessary even in @ time of war It is a mark of distinction. a recognition of meritorious service. rather than necessary or even a useful post in oar military organization.
