MOODY VIII REsIGN-

Justice William H Moody has made
definite announcement that he will
resign from the supreme bench OF the
United States before the expiration Of
the enabling act passed for his bens-
fit. This act will expire about the
middle of November.
The fall term of the Supreme c1utt
begins in October. and there will be
but seven members on the bench. as
the vacancies caused by the demise OF
Chief Justice Fuller and the resigna-
ton OF Justice Moody will not have
been filled by that time.
AS President Taft will not make
appointments Of this kind unless Con-
gress IS In session. the rehearing of
the trust cases will be delayed until
some time in December.
According 10 the best obtainable
information, the President will ele-
vate Governor Hughes 10 the chief
justiceship and appoint two associate
justices. There is much guessing in
connection with the appointment Of
the two associates.

Pinchot will be nominated. even II
the colonel decides 70 advocate his
claims. The legislature failed to obey
the mandate regarding the direct pri-
mary law, and IT Is barely possible
that the rank and file OF the Repub-
lican party in New York may have
something to say as to the man who

Pinchot might make a good gov
ernor II the Republicans Of New York
see fit 20 nominate him. His
chances for receiving the nomination,
however. will not be bettered by an
attempt on the part Of Colonel ROose-
welt TO force him on the ticket. 1t is
to be doubted II the Sage OF Saga

wool as follows:
Without any tariff on wool. Europe

United States has added 81 per

COMMISSION WILL RECOMMEND

MERGE BODY BE GIVEN
INCREASED POWERS

Washington, Jan. 25,--Recommenda-
tons as TO a general federal policy
toward the Improvement of rivers, har-
bors and canals, based upon investiEa.-
tions that have been conducted in this
and foreign countries for a couple of
years, will be made TO congress by the
United States National WATERWAYS
commission in report to be submit
ted Monday.
The one important question upon
which the commission split, II is under
stood, was as TO whether there would
be federal control over rates on rail-
roads competing with transportation
lines on inland waterways.
Some members of the commission
contended that the Interstate com
merce commission should be given
power to fix the minimum rate to be
charged by the parallel railroads in
cases where IL was evident that the
rail rates were reduced to draw bust
ness away from water routes. Others
opposed such legislation.
Upon the final vote, il is understood
the large majority of the commission
members favored laws to give added
power to the Interstate Commerce
commission. The report. IL was learned
today, will voice the opinions OF the
majority on this question. Such laws,
in the view OF the majority, are essen
tial to insure rapid development and
broad use Of the inland waterways.
