Especial Correspondence

Eress next month, changes in the per-
sonnet of the government are going 10
take place rapidly and some OF them in
unexpected places. This has been made
apparent since President Taft returned
to Washington. Patronage matters are
going to attract more attention than at
any previous time since the change OF
administration and a good many Of the
followers from the Roosevelt era are
to go shortly.
! Right or wrong, no little political
. significance is being attached 10 the
series of protective changes. Members
of the cabinet are now casting about
for new men to replace leftover APP
pointees. The business of revising the
personnel of the administration has
been postponed thus far because Of
the pressure Of other matters. The tar
eff session kept the president moderate
~ busy for a long time, and soon after
1t ended he went on his tour Of the
country. There has been no opportun-
ity for consideration of these matters
of personnel; but it is now being be-
slowed, by members of the cabinet,
with much earnestness.
Biz Questions Put Aside.
While eager speculation was going
on, during the long cabinet meeting of
Tuesday as 10 the matters under dis-
cussion; while relations with Chile and
with Central America were the subject
of animated discussion and conjecture
on the outside: while Wall street was
anxiously waiting for word from the
council chamber about the adminisra-
tons reception of the Standard Oil
decision and its further course in the
matter the cabinet was spending most
of its three hours session talking of
the changes about TO be made in the
personnel of the government.
Not very much OF concrete results is
understood to have been developed.
There are 10 be various changes at the
department of justice, il is stated,
probably equivalent to a revolution in
personnel there. Attorney General
Wickersham is to place the organiza-
tion on a basis that will bring it close
to him personally. and assure that his
policies will dominate its work in all
directions without the chances Of any
reservations or lingering Royalties tc
other methods or other programs
This reorganization is considered OF
the greatest importance al this time il
view of the fact that the department
of justice seems certain TO be the cen
ter of the most important activities OF
the government for some time TO come
