Gen. Wood Might Fill Gap.

AS Gen. Bell will not be able to reach
Texas much before the middle of June.
there is considerable interest to know
who will be in command of that impor
tant division in the intervening months.
In ordinary circumstances the senior
officer present would assume temporary
command. That would mean Brig. Gen.
G. II. Edwards temporarily command
ing the 9th Brigade of the division.
In case of an emergency arising be-
fore the arrival of Gen. Bell requiring
important movements in Mexico or
elsewhere, it would be necessary it
is said, to have an officer of higher
rank In command and in such n con-
hnSency it is pointed out that Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood. chief of staff un-
doubtedly would be selected. One view
OF the situation is that it means that

JOHN BASSETT MOORE OUT
His Resignation as Counselor Of
State Department Accepted
= by President.

John Bassett Moore counselor Of the
State Department, who ranks as acting
secretary. has resigned and his resigna
ton has been accepted by President Will
son.
For the present Mr.. Moore will con-
tinue his work here for the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace and
later will resume his connection with Co
lumba University. No announcement as
to a probable successor was made today.
Mr.. Moore's impending resignation had
been rumored for several weeks and each
time had met with unqualified denial.
Various reports have had it that there
was lack of harmony in his views and
those of higher officials, but they never
were supported by anything official.
MIR. Moore is an authority on interna-
tional law.
1t was explained in official quarters that
Mr.. Moore was quitting the State Depart
ment in accordance with an understand
ling he had with President Wilson when
he took the office of counselor last May.
In order to secure Mr.. Moore's services
an arrangement was made whereby the
couns elor was to act as secretary In the
absence of the head of the State Depart
as second only to Mr.. Bryan himself. On
those conditions Mr.. Moore undertook to
give his services to the State Department
for the first year Of its administration, to
assist IN carrying OUT Tue new poHcies
in contemplation and in reorganiztng the
forces SO far as might be incident to the
change of administration.
1t was declared by officials that the
Mexican question has no connection with
Mr. Moore's retirement. That he had
his own views as to the manner of hand
ling the situation and that they were
not at all points in accord with the ad-
mnistration policies has been common
report, but nevertheless it was pointed
ont today that Counselor Moore had lent
Ioyal support to the President and Secre-
tary Bryan in the execution of their plans
at all times.
1t was understood that in a statement
later today President Wilson would take
occasion to emphasize that Mr.. Moore
leaves the State Department without
friction and that the most amicable re-
la ations will continue to exist.

REPORT SOUGHT
Bill Designed to Change Inaugural
Date Now in Hands of
Committee.

Action by the rules committee of the
House on the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Smith of Maryland, proposing
to appoint a special congressional COM
mittee to investigate the advisability of
changing the inaugural date, may be
expected as soon as the rules committee
has finished with the present Manahan
resolution attacking the grain trust y
A change of the inaugural date is one
of the "hobbies" of Representative Henry,
chairman Of the rules committee, who
said today he would do everything in his
power to give the bill an early dis
cussion in the committee.
Representative Smith, prompted by the
blizzard to write his bill which brought
to mind very forcib,y that just such
weather could occur in early March Of
any inaugural year, asks that a COM
mittee be appointed to make thorough
study of the question of whether a change
in the inaugural date is desirable, and
to report a date which would be more
desirable.
The committee would consist of seven
members, three from the Senate, three
from the House and one to be chosen
nv the six appointed members. The bill
authorizes the expenditure of 5000 by
the committee.

DIG VICTORY FOR GILL.
Recalled Mayor of Seattle Is Re.
Elected by Surprising Majority.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 4.-The sur
prise Of yesterdays city election was the
great majority-14,OOO-by which Hiram C.
Gill was chosen mayor. Gill carried every
ward but one and got big majorities in
residence precincts where he had always
been beaten before.
Apparently the only charter amend
ment adopted was that fixing a minimum
wage of $2.75 day for all city employees.
Labor union leaders are exultant. Rob-
ert B. Hesketh. president of the city
council and vice president of the Inter-
national Cook and Waters Union, was
reelected to the council. receiving more
votes than Gill. Councilman Oliver T.
Erickson. also indorsed by organized
labor, was reelected by a large major
ity. Some, if not all. of the five labor
candidates for membership on the free
holders committee, chosen to revise the
charter. were elected.
Gill was elected mayor in 1910, recalled
a year later for permitting an open
town." and defeated for reelection in
1912. This year his closest supporters
were those who effected his recall in 1911.

District Heads Protest Indirect
Attack on HaIf-and-
Half System.
OBJECT TO ELIMINATION
OF DISTRICT REVENUES
Report on Bill Denying Local Gov
ernment Benefits of Liquor Ii
cense and Other Fees.

Declaring that if any members of
Congress are dissatisfied with the pres
ent financial arrangement existing be-
tween the United States and District
governments they should seek to
change the system by direct rather
than indirect methods the District
Commissioners this afternoon sent to
the Senate District committee an un-
favorable report on the bill of Repre-
sentative johnson providing that no
moneys collected by the District from
liquor license and other fees shall be
expended in any expense of the mu-
nicipality borne Jointly by the federal
and local governments under the half
aEd-half' act.
The bill has passed the House and If
enacted into law will, the District heads
say, withdraw from District revenues
several hundred thousand dollars that
are matched dollar for dollar by the fed
eral government under existing law.
The report of the Commissioners is a
severe criticism of the methods of certain
members Of Congress to break down the
half -and-half'' act by indirect legisla-
tion
1t constitutes the most determined eX-
preston that has yet come from the pres
ent board of District officials as to their
views of this act.

Blacken Her Character:

motherless, and then attempted to black

life" AS Prosecutor Malato uttered these
words of denunciation of William Cheney
Ellis in his opening argument to the jury
today, Ellis. on trial for the murder of
his wife, swayed in his chair and had to
be supported.
Look" exclaimed Malato. Ellis gets
a glass of water, and has some one to
lift him up, but he gave his wife no water
while she lay there shot four times, and
with her throat gashed. If he receives
the death penalty at your hands he will
have a chance to make his peace with the
Almighty. He gave his wife none"
Malato also attacked Frederick Cauld-
well of Rrantford. Ontario, alleged by Ell
lis to be the man in the case"
REFUSES to Testify.
''Cauldwell lives out of the jurisdiction
of this court, and could not be compelled
to come here to testify" said the prose-
cutor. I'VE have begged him, in the
name Of humanity, and in the name Of
the little children made motherless by
this tragedy. to come here and speak, but
he has refused
There are no adjectives to describe
Ellis The defense probably will talk
about the firesde. and picture a home
broken UP through no fault of Ellis.
want you to remember that Ellis brought
nothing to that fireside but a body that
he himself pleads in extenuation was un-
fit
Under the fire of Malato's invective

attacks only grew more bitter. He in
sisted that nothing but the death pen
atty could be imposed on a man who
had killed his wife as Ellis did.
