lists as the result of the reputation

The United States was the keystone

The four nations, Russia and Japan,
as the prime movers and the prime
enemies of China. holding the whip

His Desire to Sit in Cabinet
Brought Criticisms That

WASHINGTON. March 22.-An-
nounceuent was made at the White
House today that the president had
accepted the resignation of Willis L.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau.
The resignation will not become eff
fectfve until July 31st, and 1t is
learned that Secretary OF Agriculture
Houston has no man in sight for the
position Despite the fact that Pro-
fessor Moore is a Democrat, it has
been understood that he would re-
tire.
The chief Of the weather bureau
had q strong desire to become MEM
Der of the Wilson cabinet. The per-
sisteney of his friends IN urging him
upon Mr.. Wilson IS said TO have been
the source of much annoyance to the
president Not only were Moore's
friends doggedly determined In their
efforts to have him appointed. but

openly charged that the chief of the

country to carry on an active letter
writing campaign for his appoint
ment, and had directed this cam

Aikens remarks on the methods he
said Moore had employed 70 further
his candidacy were caustic and caused
much comment here.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
would not discuss Moores resignation
today He said a man of extended
scientific training would be chosen
to succeed him.
DIR. Eliot Has Declined.
There IL good reason TO believe
that the first news given out of Presi-
dent Wilson'S selection of an arnbas-
gador to Great Britain will come with
the announcement Of an appointment
which has been accepted DIR. Charles
w, Eliot. president emeritus of Har-
ward university, certainly has been

no announcement of this declination

by DIR. Eliot himself until an APP

DIR. Eliot's declination is expected to

WASHINGTON. March 22.-The
purposes which actuated the Wilson
administration in repudlating Secre-
tary Knox's policy with regard TO
the proposed six power loan to China
have been clarified in the last few
days. 1t has been learned that the
administration believes itself better
situated to accomplish acts OF real
friendship TO the new republic, now
that II has thrown off any suspicion
of financial interest that might have
attached TO participation in the pro-
posed loaf than 1t would have been

which IL has adopted, and which will
probably be further emphasized by
the formal recognition of the repub-
lie In the near future.
Attitude of Administration.

she had had the matter under con-

that she would not be n candidate for

accept the other position, following
the physicians with whom she had la

held until after the election of the
officers of the Medical College of Viz

ton of the two medical schools now
in existence.

MANY STONES IN

Recent Discoveries Indicate
That New York Business

NEW YORK, March 22.-The Mu-
sfcas, in addition TO swindling sew
eral banks, cleared up an extra $780,
900 in diamond frauds during the
three weeks before they skipped out
OF New York. according TO the state
ment today of E. p. Prentice. the re-
ceiver appointed to take charge Of
whatever assets found.
The game was simple one. as re-
counted by Mr.. Prentice, especial
~ the light of the fact that their
credit and the credit of the United
States Hair company was still good.
About a fortnight before their hasty
departure for New Orleans they sent
out circulars to various diamond mer
chants Of this country announcing
themselves in the diamond market

Stones to the extent of $50. 900, and
ii may go to 100000. were delivered
to them on credit. which was vouched
for by banks with which they did
business. It seems apparent, so thinks
the receiver. that they intended to
pawn all the gems before leaving
town. but In the final haste af leaving
they d1d not nave time 10 nIllsn the
business.
Anyway. diamonds ON which they
had raised about $1,000 have been
located in local pawn shops, and de-
tectives are looking for more Of them.
Todayfs discovery accounts for the
fact that a number of unset dia-
monds were found in the Musicas,
possession when they were arrested
in New Orleans. Mr.. Prentice would
not divulge the naruest OF the nler-
chants who had been thus ssxiudled.
Others May He Implicated.
During the day discoveries were
made which led Il, w. b. Brown. the
special receiver appointed for the
United States Hair company, to. the
belief that certain New York bust
ness men, associated with the Musicas,
were not only conscious of the fraud
being perpetrated against local and
European banks, bat we're receiving a
share of the profits
He was led 10 this belief by book
entries which show large sums paid to
the men In question for no value re-
ceived.
The search Of the two receivers for
attachable property is far from en-
couraging a box Of unset and large
pearls was received. today by mail at
the office Of Antonio Musica.
The gems turned out to be cheap

~ cents. xhey had been sent from
