dictments in khe federal courts in
San Francisco It was said that an
announcement would be made before
the end of the day.
With the wneels Of the department
Of justice grinding again on the ceie-

made no effort to conceal their relief.
Official Washington rellected that
feeling. Probably no issue with which
President Wilson has had to deal

such widespread attention. The at
titude Of White House Officials today
in declining to comment on the latest
declarations of the federal grand jury
in San Francisco and the attacks Of
former United States Attorney Nc
Nab on Attorney General McReyno4ds
was that the action Of the president
and the attorney genera, m ordering
the cases to trial. speaks for itself.
1t was the official view that however
mistaken Mr. McReynolds cursory
view of the situation on which he or
dered postponement, his action was
free from any unworthy motives,
and it was pointed out tnat the cor
made public at the
White House last night shows that the
attorney general himself had revers-
ed his position and been approved
by the president
President Wilson's attitude today
was said at the White House to be
that the selection Of capable counsel
to carry the cases to trial was suf- I
ficient demonstration Of the sincere
wish Of the administration to have
a vigorous prosecution.
It is President Wilson's intention
to get Francis J. Heney to take the
cases if possible. He is regarded as
being especially desirable because he
has no political interests with the
Administration
N. J. Sullivan and Thomas Payden
also are under consideration, and
Keny and Rakers
lave been mentioned as possible se-
ections. Secretary Lane, a personal L
'riend Of Heney's, has been asked to
lse his Influence to persuade Heney
o undertake the work.
With the selection Of a prosecutor
Ind McNab's resignation, the White
