dition is serious. He appeared to be
helpless during the transfer from the
train to the ambulance
Although Moody's ailment was an
nounced officially as a case of rheuma-
tism and govt, local physicians who
have known him for years believe it
10 be more serious.
Justice Moody came here, it is be-
iieved, from a sanitarium in New York
state, where he has been for several
weeks, following a short stay at Hot
Springs, Ark. No intimation of his
sndispostion had been received here
previously, it being supposed when
he temporarily left the bench early in
the summer that it was merely for a
vacation.
Justice Moody was appointed to the
supreme bench Dec. II, 1906, by
President Roosevelt. Immediately
preceding the appointment he was at
tOrney general of the United States for
more than two years. He was also
secretary of the navy for two years
under President Roosevelt, in 1902

with him published in Washington
last week in which McHarg is credited
with having said that the policy of for

President Roosevelt was too dreamlike
even to be of practical value and that
only the Lord himself" could have
carried it out. McHarg further was
