sTIMsoN FOR CABINET
Taft Said to Have Asked Him to B,
Attorney General.

Washington Dec. 24.-H. L. Stim-
son, United States district attorney
for the southern district of New York,
is said to have been invited by Mr..
Taft to take the portfolio of justice
in the coming cabinet. The news
leaked out yesterday from reliable
source and occasioned some surprise.
Mr.. Stimson has been connected with
some big cases brought by the govern
ment against corporations and his
handling of the litigation attracted
Mr.. Taft's attention.
There is certain to be a fight made
on Mr.. stimson by friends of George
w. Wickersham Of New York. and
Frank B. Kellogg, the Roosevelt ad-
ministration ~trust buster" These
two men have been mentioned as like
ly to be invited to become members
of Mr.. Taft's official family, and 1t
was reported only a few days ago
that Mr.. Wickersham had been ap-
preached on the matter. No confirma-
ton was forthcoming as to this, how
ever, and in the light Of the present
information, 1t Is probable that the
negotiations never got beyond the ex-
perimental stage.
Prevailed on to Reconsider.
According to reports Mr.. Taft had
Mr.. Wickersham under consideration
for the cabinet position, and was
strongly inclined to offer him the at
torney generalship. He was prevail
ed upon, however, to reconsider his
action. 1t was pointed out to him
that Mr.. Wickersham not only had
affiliations, professional it is true, with
many big corporations, but that he
was too closely associated with Mr..
Taft's brother in business.
Mr.. Taft is desirous of steering
clear of making his administration q
family affair. With Charles P. Taft
a leading candidate for the senator
ship in Foraker's place, this selection
for the cabinet of a man close to the
Taft family might cause criticism
Therefore, it is reported, consideration
of Mr.. Wickersham was dropped, and
the next best man available was tai
en-. up. Mr.. Taft's choice happened tc
fall on Mr.. Stimson.
Mr.. Stimson, during the past few
years, has been active in the prosecu.
ton of number of important gov
ernment cases, and is thoroughly
versed in the machinery of the de-
partment of justice. In conjunction
with the attorney general, Mr.. Stin.-
son is now engaged in seeking FIR
some law which will permit the ad-
ministration to begin action aga!ns!

ants Sister.in.Law.

Flushing, L. l., Dec. 24.-The states
case against Thornton ]. Haines for
participation in the murder of Will
liam E. Annis, is near its close. The
district attorney said that he hoped
the prosecutions witnesses could be
heard before an adjournment is taken
over Christmas until Saturday. The
Wives of three members of the Bay
side Yacht club are under subpoena
and may be called by the state late
today to tell of the incidents in
which Annis participated previous to
the shooting. The lawyers for Thorn
ton Hains expect to open the defense
on Saturday or Monday and Joseph
Shay will outline the case to the jury.
It is not known how many witnesses
will be called for the defense, but At
torneys Mcintyre and Shay are plac-
ing their main hope in the story that
Thornton j. Hams will tell on the
stand.
The prosecution yesterday brought
out a letter written by the defendant
which opens the way for Thornton
Hams lawyers to bring out those in
cidents in Capt. Hams marital career
which preceded and brought about the
killing Of the publisher. The letter
was written last June by the defend
ant to Julian Ripley, president of a
publication of which William r. An
,, mis- was manager and In 1t the writer
characterized Annis as a rascal and
scoundrel, and said that he had him
on a criminal charge for betraying his
brothers. wife. ST.
District Attorney Darrin offered
this letter in evidence as preliminary
| to the testimony of Mr.. Ripley con-
corning second letter from, the de-
fendant which the witness had de-
lstroyed. Justice Crane would not
permit Mr.. Ripley to testify concern
ing his recollection of the contents of
this second letter.
"The Introduction of the first let
ter" said Mr.. Mcintyre today,
"paves the way for us to show what
events in Capt. Hams life with re-
spect to Mrs. Claudia Hains that
brought about the estrangement with
his wife and the shooting of Annis."
Policeman Eugene Fallon gave a
bit of sensational testimony when he
said that Thornton Hams during the
coroner's inquest turned to him and
after characterizing Annis, declared: /:
Il would go down to hell to get him
and kill him over again."

that the stabbing was done, by q
prominent barrel manufacturer who
is influential In politics. and that the
entire resources OF the local political
organization are being used to pre-
vent the details Of the affair from
reaching the public.
The story Of the stabbing was given
to q reporter. Magistrate Beaton

and the woman whom he stabbed
and dismissed them by side en-
trance. afterwards telling reporters
that he knew nothing about the case,
but 1t Is understood that the. man
was held In $500 bail for further
hearing.
Hotel Clerks Story
The stabbing took place in the Ho-
tel Capelli, formerly the Imperial, at
Eleventh and Filbert streets, shortly
after 8 o'clock last evening. Accord
Ing to the night clerk at the hotel, q
man wearing flashy overcoat and q
large diamond pin In his necktie, very
corpulent, nd apparently drunk, en-
tered the hotel. The clerk says he
noticed Mrs. Mcfarland, who has
been chambermaid, at the Capelli for
the last month. sitting on the steps
leading upstairs.
The man saw the woman, and, with
out a word, drew a clasp knife from
his pocket and leaped at her. She
turned from him. and the knife pene-
trated her back, striking rib and
glancing off without in1icting serious
damage, according to Doctor Egan,
who made an examination of the
wound at the city hall.
There was no one In the corridor at
the time, the clerk says, and the man
ran out in the street: Apparently
supposing that he had killed Mrs.
Mac cFarland, who lay swooning on the
steps Of the hotel, he seemed crazed.
and made lunges with the bloody
knife at two passersby, He was ar
rested and taken to the Eleventh and
Winter streets station by q passing
policeman.
Mystery Deyelopes
At this point thick veil has been
drawn by the police and by Magis-
trate Beaton over tile history of the
case. What connection, If any, the
stabbing had with the woman's re-
Iquired appearance In the Camden
Chancery court room cannot be told
until the veil Is removed.
