TRUST BUSTER
FOR CABINET
j. C.. McReynolds of New York
Will Probably BE Wilson s
Attorney-General.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Chef interest in
the cabinet situation in Washington to-
nipht centered about the attorney-gener-
alship and a report that James c. McRey-
nolds Of New York is foremost among
those under consideration for the place
by Presidcnt-elect Wilson. Coupled with
Mr.. Rcynoldss name as probability for
this portfolio was that of Edgar H. Far
rar of New orleans, former president Of
the American Bar association.
Men high In democratic councils de-
clared that McReynolds and Farrar had
been under consideration for some time,
but that late developments seemed to
point to the selection OF tn former. who
was assistant attorney general in 1905 1907
and has long bcen specially retained by
the United states in trust prosecutions.
Though democrat MIR. McRcynold5
was engaged to prosecute the govern
ments suit against the tobacco trust
and had direct charge OF that case from
the beginning until the dissolution Of the
American Tobacco company. He also bad
charge .: the prosecution of the govern
mcnt'S suit against the hard coal trust,
and carried the case through the supreme
Court, which annulled the so-c'lled 60 per
cent contracts.
