 is among those discussed in Washing ton tonight as a possible successor to Mir. fMcAdoo as director general.
 MT. McAdoo made the announce ment of his retirement at one of his weekly conferences with score of newspaper men tonight in his pri- vate office at the treasury. The men for an hour had been discussing wit him questions concerning future poi icies of the treasury and railroad ad- n1inistration and were about to arise to leave. when Mir. McAdoo, seated at his desk, remarked casually:
 sNow, gentlemen, have just one other nJtlc thing to say, when may be of interest. l am going from pup llc hfe."
 This came So utterly unexpectedly that none of the men uttered a word of comment and the little map and paper-beStrewn office winch has serv- ed as the sccretary's workroom for more than five years, was still until Mir. McAdoo, in his usual tone, eX- planned further:
 
 the president will explain the reason why l have been compelled to take tnls action and there is not any other reason why l did it.
 Just a few minutes before the press conference, Mr. McAdoo had called in his treasury advisers and broken the news to them. Utmost surprise was expressed by his co-workers. There had been only one rumor recently of the possibility of MT. McAdoo's resig- nation, and that was to the effect that ]le might be appointel secretary of war while Secretary Baker went to Europe as the presidents cmissary. That report was specifically denied at the time and it was said that MT. McAdoo had no immediate intention of quitting either as secretary of the treasury or as director general of the railroads. ~
 Mr. McAdoo receives $12,OO0 year as secretary of the treasury, the uniform salary of cabinet members, and nothing as director general of railroads. His family expenses are knows to have been heavy in the last few years, although since the war he has taken almost no part in the little capital society that remained. Re- peatedly, the secretary had refused small salaries of government off cials, though he did not refuse to his own case. In fixing the salaries of his assistants in the railroad admin Estration he allowed heads of divi- sions $25 900 a year and even the minority assets reached $12.o or $15, 5,00O.
 Secretary MeAdoo is the fourth member of the cabinet to resign. William Jennings Bryan, the presi- dents secretary of state, at the be- ginning of his administration, was the first and Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, was the second.

cent tax on luxuries and retention of other special, miscellaneous tax es. but at rates not to exceed an ln- crease of third over those of the existing law.
 For 1920 Senator Simmons plan contemplates abolishing the war profits tax, rtduction of individual and corporation income rates from 12 to s per cent and reduction of about one-t third in the excess pro- fits schedule as now proposed III the revised committee draft. ALSO the special miscellaneous taxes would be continued at the 1919 rates.
 Both plans for 1919 and 1920 as presented by Senator Simmons, were said to have the approval of the Treasury Department and also gene rally of the Democratic members of the Finance Committee. Republicans indicated general satisfaction with the 1919 suggestions, but again op- posed the 1920 extensions. Senator Simmons said the Democratic com- mitteeman are determined upon the 1920 plan because they believe it is unwise to fix rates only for 1919, without informing the business world of the future program.
 The committee hopes to have the bill ready soon after the new 3es- sion of Congress cOnvenes December 2, but the Republican opposition and other considerations, it was general ly expected may delay its enactment until next January.
 In his proposal for reducing the bill to $6,00O, ,0OO0,OOO for 1919, Chair man Simmons took into consideration the prospective loss of about $1 ,O00,- O00,O0O as the result of the operation of the wartime" prohibition legis- lation signed today by President Wilson. His plan contempates rais- ing about $5,O00,00O,000 next year from the income and war excess pro- fits taxes and the remaining $1.000,- 0G0,000 from other sources in the bill, but at the reduced rates suggested.
 The proposed reduction of $2,000,- 100000 ill taxes for 1920, Senator Simmons explained, would be accom- plished principally through elimina- tion of the war profits tax and re- duction from 12 to 8 per cent of the rate on the normal corporations and incomes of individuals, and together with reduction of about one-third ill the excess profits rates. The high surtax on individual incomes would run through 1920.

Discussing them the report said it would be we'll in the province and privilege of the federal government to devise some means by which, without giving Of fense to the duly constituted officials of San Francisco" the defendants must be assured of their rights
 Secretary of labor Wilson refused tonight to state whether or not re- port on the Mooney case had been made to him by Director general John E. Dcnsmore of the labor departments employment service. At Densmore's s office it was said that a report believ- cd to have related to the Mooney case had been transmitted to Mir. Wilson several days ago.
 District attorney Charles M. Fickert who prosecuted the defendants in the San Francisco bomb explosion cases, made the following statement tonight ill connection with the report here to- day involving criticism of the prosecu- tors office:
 My Investigations and those of certain federal officials were reaching so close to some of the higher-up in the Bolshevik movement that they be- came stampeded.
 Fortunately l am ill possession oi certain written documents that will vindicate my actions.''

EFFORTS ID COMBAT
 PROHIBITION READ
 INTO BREWERY CASE

Washington, Nov 22.-Additional records from the private files of the United States Brewers Association, showing methods adopted to combat the prohibition movement were read in the record of the senate investiga- ting committee today by Major E. Lowry Humes, who is in charge of the inquiry.
 These records deal with the organ ization and financing of the National Association of Commerce and Labor, disbursements to the German-Amer- ican alliance, the employment of spec ial writers for beer propaganda and a suggestion to Hugh F. Fox, secretary of the Association. that the brewers offer prize for the best essay for the solution of the saloon problem" with the cooperation of newspapers as medium of publicity. The Hearst pa pers were suggested ill this connect ion.
 Other records included a suggest ion that efforts be made to induce Jet CT T. Pritchard, former federal judge of Asheville, N. G., and prohibition advocate, to write letter soliciting funds with a view to discrediting him. Other documents included letters pur- porting to show that Miss I. T. Martin, was employed to attend a meeting of the anti-saloon league in August in the same year she attended a meeting of the Catholic Prohibition Society in Niagara Falls, was elected secretary and subsequently, destroyed the rcords of the session. She was on the associations payroll at $500 q month, according to the records. The committee heard only ono wit ness today but before adjourning to December 30th it decided to take up at that time a general inquiry into German propaganda.
 The name of the person suggesting the prize essay contest on the saloon was not given. He pointed out the ad- vantage of working through tho news papers in bringing the prize to the attention of the public instead of the association taking up direct.
 "If the Hearst newspapers, for ex' ample" the suggestion read, "could be gotten to cooperate with the brew CTS for months before awards were made. they would carry articles to stimulate the interest. The people would send in manuscripts and the winning article would be widely read. On the other hand, if the United States Brewers Association offered a prize the Associated Press would car ry short announcement of the fact"
 The Brewers idea of the value of publicity was set forth in another in- stance, when suggestion was made for the use of the American Press Asso- ciation's plate matter.
 The Associated Press, the letter said reached the public through press dis patches, but the American Press Asso- citation reaches the readers of the smaller newspapers
 The suggestion regarding the ef- forts to induce Judge Pritchard to solicit funds from the brewers was made, according to the record, by Fox to R. J. Schaefer, of New York, a brewer, who was one of the underwrit- CTS of the loan for the purchase of the Montgomery. Ala, Advertiser.

"Oh, Brian,n she said again. How
could she go and do the work expected
of her and leave him in this mood7 To
her narrassed mind and heart, his words
affected her more than he had any
idea. Disturbing thoughts of Mollie
King also intruded. She would not say
one word to make him more impatient
of her going than he already was.
She said she must be going, then
waited, hoping he would say something
about being at the train, or at least
that he would go down to the taxi with
her. Unfortunately, she made faux pas
at this juncture, one upon which he was
quick to seize.
cit is too bad you can't ride home
with me'' She said, "But l see you
are busy. When the firm pays for the
taxi, ] feel quite reckless, so kept it
waiting.n

he2 l suppose all the rest of his clerks
are sent around in taxis at his expense.
/ believe you just said you were one of
his clerks.''
Ruth scarcely knew what to say or
do. She felt she couldn It leave Brian in
his present state of mind. He would be
reckless while she was away; and she
thinking of him, would be untitled for
her work.
"Brian, dear, please let US be fair to
each other" she said, putting her arms
around his neck and kissing him. l love
you with all my heart, dear. never
give a single thought to anyone else.
And you know it too, you naughty boy.
Now kiss me and send me away with a
smile. y
She was hard to resist, when in this
mood. Brian kissed her, then took her
in his arms, and told her he was brute
and several other things. When perfect
peace had been made, he took her down
to the taxi and stood watching as long
as he could see her waving at him.

CHAPTER LxIu.

CdAfIEh LAlll.
These occasional conversations with
Mrs. Curtis anent the woman ques
ton" gave Ruth much feed for thought
She was the last sort of woman to pa
rade her capabilities in any direction
She intended to do her work. From
choice, the more quietly she was en-
abled to do it, the better she was
pleased. But if to have it exploited
helped the firm, she had no right to
object.
When she had demurred at having
her name put On the cards of the firm
las its expert in her line, Mandel had
argued with her. His arguments con
tanned much truth, and she knew how to
present them to Ruth in such way
that she Immediately recognized their
force. Then too, she very naturally was
flattered to think he considered hel
work good enough to give it such pro-
minence.
This was another fly in Brian's oint
ment-- a great, big, buzzing creature
that he seemed unable to brush away
Back it came insistently with its an
noying accompaniment of noisy sugges
tion.
fThen once more she was told she
would have to go away; suddenly as had
happened before.
"You can gol" Mandcl asked after
explaining what was needed.
Certainly, ruth recognized the call
on her was busines one. Hhe had elect
ed to be business woman, so she must
obey without hesitation.
The train she was expected to take
for town in Nortern New York left
the Grand Central station at five
0 clock. Mr.. Mandel had told her she
might go directly and pack. 1t was only
a little after two, and she knew with
Rachcl's help She could pack all she
needed in half an hour. AT first she
thought of telephoning Brian to meet
her at the train and say good Bye
Then decided she would surprise him.
SO she jumped into taxi and gave his
office address to the driver.
She found Brian doggedly at work ov-
er some papers He scowled as she open
ed the door, interrupting him. But when
he turned and saw her, the scowl left
his face to be replaced by one Of amaz-
emcnt. Unless it had been to meet him
to go somewhere for the evening, Ruth
never had visited the office.

as brightly as she was able. 1t tore her
eart-strings to leave him again. She told
him in a few words where she was go
ing, how long she expected to remain.
He listened in silence, making no OBJ
lection. When she finished she said:
"Who 'S going with youY" thoughts
of Mandel bringing the seowl back to
his face.
"No onel Whyg"
"I thought perhaps that boss of
yours was going with you again. He
seems to like to have you with him.

"Oh, Brianl" was all that Ruth said
in reply to his unkind insinuation, but
her eyes filled.
That s right! play the innocent! Of
course you don't know he is in love
with you. You never thought Of such
a thing"

About $500 years ago, the prophet
Daniel said that at certain time
I"manv shall run to and fro. and know

1S43, King Louis Philippe was afraid
to board train. Forty-three years age
the telephone was unknown; now So
000,G00 messages are sent daily in this
country. Seventy years ago cables were
unknown; but now they connect all the
large ports in the world. The year 1879
saw the first electric railway, 1901 tho
first wireless telegraph, and 1908 the
first aeroplane.

Men have come to dcify science and

There are very few prophecies yet to bc

These are solemn times, times when
the judgments of God are bringing men
to their senses, times when men are de-
Gliding their own destiny for eternity;
the time when the nations are angry and
