According to the latest dope in

director Of public safety. Mr. Mick

him exceptionally well qualified for
the position. and should the choice
fall on him, the honor will be worth
fly bestowed. However, the same
thing may be said for j. II. Matthews
who is a Marion boy and is familiar
with public affairs in Marion from I'm
side and outside.
Another story Is to the effect that
John +. McDonough who has been
mentioned most prominently i'm con-

appointment be made immediately-
is to have opposition. Friends Of Ed

AMBASSADOR HILL
RESIGNS HIS POST
Decides TO Retire From Berlin
Without Assigning Cause,
The PRESIDENT ACQUIESCES
His Resignation Will Take Effect on
July I and Caused Great Surprise In
Washington.

Washington.
Dr. David Jayne Hill. of Rochester
N Y. ambassador from the United
States to Germany, has resigned his
post. The resignation has been accept
ed by President Taft.
Neither in Mr.. Hilrs letter Of resig-
nation nor in the presidents letter Of
I acceptance is any reason given for
the ambassadors action.
The president thanks Mr.. Hill for
/ his services at Berlin and says that he
/ is glad to know that he will remain
| there until July 1. when the resigna
/ ton goes into effect
While Ambassador Hills resignation
was a great surprise to official Wash
ington and to the diplomatic corps.
it is argued that the fact that he is TO
remain at his post until July l indi-
Gates that there was nothing urgent in
his action
Belief is geeEral that his retirement
is in accord with the custom OF past
administrations to appoint new am
bassadors to all important posts.
Changes have been made by Presi
dent TAFT at all such places except tc
Great Britain and Germany.
In the case OF Great Britain Prest
dent Taft offered the mission to Dr.
Eliot, OF Harvard university, who de
clined
Accepting the resignation. the pres
ident wrote under date OF April 13:
IT is with great reluctance that !
accept your resignation and relieve
you Of a mission which you rave dis
charged in a manner which so highly
appreciate both as to the actual work
Of the embassy and as to your rela-
tion to the government to which you
are accredited.
Il am glad it will be convenient to
you to retain your post until the 1st
Of next July"
II was learned that while the re- I
signation OF Dr. Hill had come as a /
surprise TO the general public, he had |
such a step IN contemplation for some /
time Il also was stated that Ambas- |
sadOr Hill probably will retire to pri- /
vate life
Reports of friction between DR.. Hi 4
and the state department were in cir
culation. but no confirmation was OBJ
tainable from any source.
One of the chief reasons. it is sad,
which prompted Dr. Hill to relinquish
his position. where the president
would have been willing to allow him
to remain. is that Ambassador HITS
bank account does not warrant him
continuing his residence in Berlin.
Having been a college professor and
not a wealthy man seeking diplomatic
honOrs. he is comparatively a poor
man and unable to keep up the pace
set by the diplomatic corps OF the
German capital The salary of the
