M. Wilson's Statement.
The President said:


1t Is with the greatest reluctance and
regret that ! see the Administration de-
prlved OF the further services OF Mr. John
Bassett Moore. His counsel has been very
valuable to US. but cannot say that the
resignation was unexpected. because when
I with difficulty induced Mr.. Moore a year
ago to accept tn. post he frankly told me
that ne felt certain that his other engage
ments and Systematic work which he had
pledged himself to do would not permit
his giving more than ~ year at the out
side to this office His resignation has
been IN my hands for month. to take
effect on the 4th OF March. | have enter
tanned the hope until to-day that he nigh,
md the other things pressing upon his
attention 'ess imperative than he had ex-
pcctei but IN view OF what hs now tells
me have no right to urge him further to
stay. ! can only say that the Admlnistra-
ton loses man with whom was proud
TO be associated and who deserves the
thanks OF the country for the work he has
done in the Department"
Mr.. Bryan had this to say:
Il am sorry 20 learn that the President
has not been able to persuade Mr.. Moore
10 remain. He has been a very useful
member OF the Administration. His abili-
ties TO an eminent degree qualify him for
the work OF counsellor OF the State De
partm-nt. and his personal qualities made
him AN agreeable person with whom to
colabor. had known OF the claims of
his professional work upon him. but had
hoped that he could postpone return to
them"

Loan and Trust Company will be admitted
to probate only after other relatives of
Mrs Trowbr,dge have exhausted every
possible search for Wills prior 20 her being
declared incompetent. They cannot CON

Mrs Trowbridge ~ Mas Minnie Hack
EFT had made other wills when she was In
full possession OF her faculties. This was
before she had married William Emory
Trowbridge. the ex-Wall Street broker,
whom she met In 1905. after he had lost
everything he had In the market. In the
will of 1908 she left TO him the residue
Of her estate. but made no provision for
the disposition OF this residue in case of
his dying before her. He died In 1910
Thereafter she WAS declared incompetent
and could not make another will.
The Efforts OF everybody connected with
the family yesterday were to discover
whether there was another will In exist
ence. That would bring up the question
whether the woman was competent to
make her last will. In all former Wills
she had disposed Of her estate to the
cousins she loved. making full provision

Burned Them Publicly.
The one thing that stood In the way of
the searchers yesterday was the fact that
one night after she was married to Mr.
Trowbridge. Mrs. Trowbridge called a few
faithful friends into her library on the
second floor Of the house Mt 72 Park ave-
nue. to witness the destruction of some
documents. She had three or four bulky
documents in her hand when the time
came. and going over to a coal nre in a
crate she tore them to bits and burned
them IL was Understood at the time that
they were her former Wills. There Ia
bare chance, however. that some other
will may have been left.
Mrs. Trowbridge was the owner OF stool,

city. She had numerous safe deponit

for music for its own sake. They
we're all true music-loyers; they went
there to hear good music and they
heard it. The orchestra has improved
remarkably since last years concert
and its staunch following, predict q

well played. This versatile and pleas

popular, indeed, In Honolulu circles
and her services are in great demand

RES|N0L CURED
itchy, Covered With Pimples and
Most Unsightly, Instantly
Relieved.

Paterson, N. j., Dec. 8, 1913:
About a year ago my face began
to crack and get scaly in blotches.
1t soon got worse and my face was
all spotted and rough, and it itch
ed me very much at night, and
caused me no end of discomfort.
After month or so, pimples and
blackheads began to show, first
in small numbers and then grad
ually covering my entire face. 1t
was awful. The pimples were
sore and the rash was itchy and
my face had a most unsightly APP
pearance. / tried different kinds
of soaps, creams and messages
and also a strict diet, but I could
get no relief. Resinol Soap and
Resinol Ointment caused me in
slant relief. BY the time another
jar of Resinol Ointment and cake
Of Resinol Soap were gone, | can
truthfully say that 1t was a COM
plete cure. My face had assumed
its former color and looks, due
to Resinol Soap and Resinol ONT
ment. They are, think, the best
for any skin trouble" (Signed)
Robert, Troyano, 269 e. 21st st.
Resinol Soap and Ointment heal
eczema and other skin eruptions,
stop itching instantly, and are
most valuable for pimples, dand-
ruff, sores, burns, boils, piles,
etc. For trial size, free, write 10
