M'ADOO EXPECTED
TO QUIT CABINET
Lanes Transfer Possible as
Recognition of Cali
fornia

Washington, Dec. SIT is accepted in
Washington that William c. McAdoo
will resign from the Office of Secre-
tary of the Treasury not later than
March 4, 1917. when President Wilson'S
second term will begin. 1t is known
that Mr.. McAdoo has decided to return
to private life mainly because he feels
that to retain public office would entail
too great q sacrifice in a pecuniary
way.
Other changes in the personnel of
the Treasury Department are slated.
Andrew ]. Peters, assistant secretary,
in charge of customs, will retire, and
of the United States, is to be appointed
to a federal judgeship. Mr.. Burke was
a candidate for United States senator,
but was defeated by Senator Porter J..
McCumber, Republican.
Mr.. Peters is credited with an inten-
tion to re-enter politics in MASSACHUSETTS
with a view of becoming mayor of Bos-
! ton and ultimately United States sena-
] tor. 1t is understood that Robert w.
| Woolley, who resigned the director
ship of the mint to become director of
publicity in the campaign, will succeed
Mr.. Burke as treasurer.
Appointment of Representative Car
ter Glass, of Virginia. as Secretary of
the Treasury is not expected by insid-
ers, because it Is believed that the
President will give preference to prom
inent Democrats from Western States.
Mr.. Glass is undoubtedly being con-
sidered for the post because of his
familiarity with the federal reserve
system.
1t has been suggested also that
Franklin K. Lane Secretary of the In
terror and a Californian, be transfer
red to the Treasury Department as
recognition of the new Importance of
California as a national political fac
tor. Friends of Assistant Secretary
Peters are also pressing his claim.
The retirement of Thomas w. Gre
CORY, of Texas, from the Attorney Gen
eralship also SENS to be assured. There
is general feeling that John w. Davis,
of West Virginia, solicitor general, may
be promoted to it.
David +. Houston, Secretary of Agri-
culture. it is believd, will resume the
position of chancellor of Washington
University, of st. Louis. When he be-
came Secretary of Agriculture he was
granted a four years leavve of alb
sence and the Office of chalcellor has
never ben filled.

Count Terauchi, until recently gov
ernor- general, took up the leper prob

result an island called Sorok off the
southern coast of Korea has been
selected as the seat of 1eper asylum.
1t is proposed to take in at first some
hundred lepers selected from the
thirteen provinces in proportion to
the number in each. During their
stay on the island the lepers will be
taught modern farming.
