OCEAN WEATHER SERVICE
Moore's Plan Is Adopted by In
ternatioraI Radio Telegraph
Conference.

cablegram was received today at the
weather bureau from Willis L. Moore, the
chief of the bureau. who is a delegate in
London to the international radio-tele-
graph conference. stating that the con-
ference has approved the committee plan
for the establishment of a wireless ocean
weather service.
When Prof. Moore went to London some
weeks ago. both to deliver lectures be-
fore the Royal Institute and to serve as
a delegate to the radio-telegraph confer
.ence, he carried with him q plan to lay
before his colleagues of the conference to
give weather warnings at sea by wireless.
1t contemplated the assembling daily
from all ships at sea of information re-
garding the conditions in their immediate
vicinity and the collection of these re-
ports at two central points. in Washing
ton for the western side of the Atlantic
and at London for the eastern, from
which, after their collation.. they would
be dispatched afresh to all ships at sea
location of storms and storm-making con-
ditions the areas of calm. the direction
of winds, etc.
1t was Prof. Moore's idea thus virtually
to publish daily weather map of the
Atlantic ocean In terms of informa tiOn
disseminated by wireless. The adoption
of his suggestion first by the committee
and now by the conference itself assures
the formal Endorsement OF the project and
soon as the delegates return to their re-
spective countries, upon the close of the
conference. and make their reports To
their governments.

Frederick w. Lehman. solicitor general
Of the United States has placed his resig-
nation in the hands of President Taft.
William Marshall Bullitt of Louisville,
KY, is said to be under consideration by
President Taft as a successor to Mr.. Leh-
mann. Some omcials here regard it as
settled that the place has been offered to
Mr.. Bullitt, and that he has accepted. 1t
has not been decided when Mr.. Lehmann's s
resignation is to become effective.
Mr.. Lehman, who is democrat, has
been prominently mentioned for place
upon the Supreme Court bench, and has
been regarded by many as q possibility
for Attorney General If democratic ad-
ministration should, come into, power.
Wickersham Protests.
It is known that Mr. Lehman resigned
against the vigorous protests of Attorney
General Wickersham, who was insistent
that the solicitor general should retain his
Office at least until next spring, but Mr..
! Lehman could not be persuaded. His
plans are not known, though some of his
friends believe he may become active in
politics in the coming campaign.
Today MIR. .Lehmann absolutely re-
fused to discuss his resignation. He
probably will return to his home in st.
Louis. where he was practicing law
when the President appointed him to
succeed the late EloydeW. Bowers.
Solicitor General Lehmanns resigna-
tion is. much regretted by Attorney
General Wickersham, who looked upon
him as one of his closest advisers. Mr..
Lehman completed the corporation
tax case successfully in the Supreme
Court, after Mr. Bowers death and bore
a large part of the preliminary work
i'm the preparation of the govern
ment's suit against the steel corpora
ton. He prepared the opinion upon
which the National CITY Company of
New York. proposed as a giant holding
company of banks. decided to- change

NEW YORK, June 2S.-William Mar
shall Bullitt was seen at his club, here
today. but he declined to discuss Mr.
Lehnann's resignation or the prob
ability OF his succeeding him.

Costello Expresses Confidence.

Walter Costello had more than usual
confidence in his being eventually seated
in the convention. The Clark headquar-
tiers in the Emerson buzzed for several
hours with Costello talk. After Costello
made such fight for Clark, first, last
and all the time, in the primaries, it was
right up to the Clark people to help
Walter in his present difficulties. 1t was
declared, and the Clark people came to
his rescue with considerable speed. 1t
was reported last night that the Speaker
himself had been brought into the pow
WOW on the long-distance telephone and
that he had made the personal request
that everything possible be done to seat
the Costello people.
Meantime the Darr Mitchell. or unin-
game was not so strenuous as that of
the other two. Charles A. Darr has
one very strong and influential friend
on the national committee. and a little
missionary work was done in that di-
rection.

formed last night. the situation which the
District democrats looked at particularly

CONVENTION HALL, BALTIMORE.
June 26.-keeping their promise to make
the fight on f. A. Newman and to un-

the temporary roll by vote of the national
committee. the Costello democrats and
the uninstructed democrats. led by
Messrs. Darr. Mitchell and Benton, went
to the room occupied by the credentials
compittee of the national democratic
convention early this morning. They
waited from $50 in the morning until

Pulling Strings All Night.

All of last night the three contesting
delegations from the District of Colum-
bia were playing politics. In a last ef-
fort to oust E. A. Newman from his seat
as national committeeman, and to throw
his delegation out Of the convention. the
Costello forces stayed up until 2 o'clock
this morning in close consultation with
the Clark headquarters.
While festive and noisy boosters
were making Baltimore's night hideous
with advocacy Of their. various candi-
dates, the three dozen democrats from
the National Capital were pulling
strings that lead direct to the heart Of
the convention.
1t is a fact that Washingtons de-
mocracy Is now engaged in the big
game Of national politics. 1t is an odd
1sr of a game. On one side stand
and on the other stand the Costello
forces. The struggle last night lay
between the national committee and
the Champ Clark headquarters.
National Committeeman Newman has
promised to stand by the national COM
mittee majority straight through. and
after caucus last night the delega-
tion behind him agreed to that PROPOSE
tion. For that policy the national
committee agrees to stand by him.
That was evident last night when an
effort was made to have the credentials
committee make a wholesale job -Of
the contests and uphold the national
committee. However, there was such
an uproar at this suggestion that it
was promptly forgotten.

ACCIDENT

Raymond L. Donovan, formerly of
this city, was the victim Of very
painful and serious accident a few
weeks ago in which he had his arm
broken and dislocated, several ribs
broken and some of the bones in his
leg broken.
Mr.. Donovan, who is the manager Of
a large farm near Austin, was riding
horseback to Oakland, where he had
several teams hauling tile, and the
horse was going at good rate Of
speed when she tumbled and fell. Mr..
Donovan succeeded in getting his
feet out Of the stirrups and put his arm
out to help himself up when the horse
rolled on his arm breaking and dislo-
eating it. While he was lying there
the horse in attempting to get up
kicked him in the side, breaking sew
eral ribs. Furthermore in an attempt
to roll over, the horse rolled on Mr..
Donovan s leg and broke several bones
in the ankle.
Mr.. Donovan will very likely be laid
up for several weeks and may have
crooked arm as a result Of the &C.

attend the game without it interfering
with their business to any great ex-

requested to attend the game as the
action Of the board in regard to
athletics makes it necessary for the
pupils to finance the athletics by their
own efforts.
