Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather
bureau. resigned today after talk with
President Wilson. Secretary Houston ac,
cepted the resignation, to become ef-
fective July 81. Prof. Moore is demo-
crat, and was a candidate for appoint
ment as Secretary of Agriculture.
Secretary Houston explained that the
Office of chief of the weather bureau was
not covered by the civil service and was
a presidential appointment.
We have no one in mind now said
the Secretary, but will try to get the
best man we can of scientific ability and
administrative talent
Comes as a Surprise.
The great surprise of the acceptance of
the resignation is that 1t should come,
and the facts leak out, before the Tresf-
dent and MIR. Houston were ready TO AN
nounce successor even before they
had agreed upon or considered one In a
serious manner. For it is positively known
that no particular man is in mind, and
that the President expects to seek infer-
nation in many quarters before selecting
= successor. Politics will not, it is said,
enter into the choosing of a new man as
head of the weather. bureau.
The President is convinced that the
tinguished scientist, can become factdr
of immense advantage to business and
industry generally in the countEy. and in
accepting the resignation of Mr.. Moore
he had in mind such a man to head the
establishment.
Three reasons are known to have
actuated President Wilson in the accept
ance of the resignation of Mr. Moore. The
first of these was that he did not like the
idea of Mr. Moore becoming a candidate
nf Agriculture in this ad.
ministration
The second is that he did not like the
idea of employees and officials under Mr..
Moore being active in pushing and pro-
noting the candidacy of Mr.. Moore for
head of the Agricultural Department.
And the third was that he believed man
of great scientific skill and knowledge
could be had to fill the place
Mr.. Wilson's Mail Flooded.
Ii is known that Mr.. Wilson's mail was
flooded with letters and kilograms in be-
half of Mr.. Moore for Secretary CT Asri-
culture. and Mr.. Wilson believed, from
all the information he could acquire, that
Mr.. Moore directed the campaign in his
own behalf.
1t is understood that Mr. Wilson re-
garded 1t as impoitic that any federal
official should seek cabinet office or
permit employees under him to work
toward that end. Mr.. Wilson took the
ground that cabinet Office should seek
the man and not the raan the office For
that reason he was displeased. II is said
today. with the campaign for Mr. Moore s
nomination. =.
Friends of Mr.. Moore declare that the
cabinet campaign in his behalf was made
without his knowledge or connivance, and
was merely tribute to the great work
he has done in the weather bureau
Whatever the facts. President Wilson

campaign, and the impression made upon
him was so unfavorable to Mr. Moore
that he did not hesitate to accept a
formal resignation when it was presented

RACEFOR PRINTER
TOBE ENDED SOON
Decision Reached, or Will Be
Made at Early Day,
Is Report.
DONNELLY OUT OF IT,
ACCORDING TO RUMOR
Contest Declared to Lie Between
w. V. Turley Of Tennessee and
N. J. Lillard of Florida.

That a decision in the selection of a
public printer to succeed Samuel b.
Donnelly has been reached, or will be
reached within a few days. was state
ment made today upon high authority.
1t was said also that it had been decided
that Mr.. Donnelly would not be retained,
and that the choice of his successor lay
between W. V. Turley of Chattanooga,
Tenn, and n. j. Lillard of Pensacola,
Fla.
Mr. Turley has the backing of Repre-
sentative Moon of Tennessee. chairman Of
the House committee on post Offices and
post roads. He was at one time employed
In the government printing Office, but for
number of years he has had his own
printing establishment in Chattanooga.
He has been an active force in the Or
ganization of employing printers. it is
said, and also has been active in politics
as democrat.
Backed by Florida Senator.
Mr.. Lillard has been indorsed for the
position of public printer by Senator
Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the Sen
ate committee on printing and OF the
joint committee on printing of the two
houses. He, too, has had much expert
ence as a practical printer, and he is con-
sidered today as the strongest opponent
of Mr.. Turley for the place.
T. Frank Morgan OF Virginia, who is
at present foreman of printing at the big
print shop. is considered an able man.
But the powers that be, it is said, have
decided that they wish to put an outsider
in the Office of public printer, and that a
man now employed in the printing office
would not be in as good a position to
carry out the changes which it is desired
shall be made in the Office
Want a Clean Sweep.
1t has been decided that sweeping
changes shall be made in the printing
Office, and that reorganization that will
be far-reaching shall be made. Some of
the democrats are of the opinion that
the present. organization is extrava-
CANT and that many positions in the
printing office could be done away with.
Consequently they are seeking new
broom, 1t is said. to make q clean sweep.
Positions viii be consolidated, and 9TH
efs eliminated entirely. 1t is said, during
the process of reorganization.
When the President will announce the
name Of the public printer is not known.
and it is believed that he may wait until
Congress convenes next month before
making public his selection.
