Washington dispatch: Tbe result of the prosecution of the packing firm of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger of Chicago for securing rebates from the railroads has revived the rumor that Attorney General Moody's retirement from the cabinet Charles J. Bonaparte is expected to succeed him in the spring, though the^ secretary of the navy denied that he was promise^ t^at position when he entered the cabinet last July or that lie. expected such a change. Moody Wants to Quit. Attorney General Moody, it Has been known for some time, has been anxious to take up his private practice at Boston, and the time fixed for his resignation was early in 1906. By that time he expects to have brought the prosecution of the Chicago pack­ ers and the case against the Santa Fe and other roads for rebating to a con­ clusion and to havfe rounded out his term as head of the department oi justice. Prior to Mr. Bonaparte's er trance Into the Roosevelt cabinet Secretary of War Taft was freely talked of as Moody's successor, as It would put the foriner governor of the Philippines in line for Chief Justice of the Supreme court, to which the president would appoint him during his cerm should a vacancy occur. Owing to the develop­ ments in the situation at Panama and in'insular affairs, it is understood, that he is to stay where he is, and conse­ quently Mr. Bonaparte has been pick­ ed out as the head of the federal law department Is Corporation Enemy. The change of Mr. Bonaparte to the Department of Justice would be strict­ ly in line with his ambitions and in­ terests, and likewise would be accept­ ed as an assurance that the warlike policy of the administration toward corporations and trusts would be con­ tinued, and matters now pending in this department would be pressed with increased vigor. Another statement concerning cab­ inet reorganization is to the effect that President Roosevelt, far from having determined to make Postmaster Gen­ eral Cortelyou Secretary of the Treas­ ury next February, has in fact had no intention of doing anything of the kind. The next Secretary of the Treasury, it is added, will be a new man to the cabinet circle. This statement sets forth that the developments in New Yorkls insur­ ance Investigation have not changed the President's mind about the pro­ priety of making Mr. Cortelyou head of the treasury for the excellent rea­ son that no such move was ever de­ termined upon.

Find a servant. docks at both ends of the lakes and will load every boat, barge and scow obtainable with coal between now and April 1. The operators have reached an understanding whereby no con­ tracts are to be accepted for coal be-1 tween now and April 1--that is, for delivery after April 1. It is expected that on that date coal will advance at least 50 cents a ton. This, it Is pointed out, is where the coal oper­ ators will benefit and really will make more money than by operating their plants. Several big Pittsburg concerns have been at their wits' end to make con­ tracts for fuel beyond April 1 without being able to place a contract for a ton of coal. Storage facilities cannot be had on short notice and the con­ sumers will be forced to pay the price demanded by the operators, who will hold their surplus coal from now op.

Meeting to Be Held Tat Chlcaga to Develop Agreement Between Bosses That Is Expected to Crush Mitchell's Organization. „• ^ - Pittsburg, Pa., 'Sept"' April 1, 1906, every coal miner in Pennsyl­ vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and part of Kentucky will close down for an indefinite period if predictions made here by prominent operators shall be verified. A meeting of the coal, operators of all these states has been called to be held Nov. 22 at Chicago. It is the plan of the originators of thi$ move to shut down the mines and keep them closed until the United Mineworkers are ready to accept a. reduction of from 10 to IS cents a ton on the present mining rate. This is the programme which is to be carried out if the eastern conting­ ent, or th© anthracite operators, can bring it about. The bituminous coal operators favor advancing the price of corfl by closing down the mines it? limit the output Operators Oppose Union. Herman Justi, commissioner for the Illinois Coal Operators' association, sent out the call. This will be the first time the antracite coal operators will have entered into an agreement with the bituminous coal operators. The object of this is to stifle the increas­ ing growth of unionism in the eastern coal mines. > , There exists an agreement among the western Pennsylvania, Ohio In? diana and Illinois coal operators known as the interstate ^agreement, whereby the operators annually meet the United Mineworkers of the va­ rious districts and settle on a mining rate for the yfcar. The anthracite -coal operators are unwilling to deal with the miners' union and have about 30,000 miners ^employed in eastern Pennsylvania under individual % con­ tracts. To kill the miners' union the anthracite employer must have the assistance of the soft coal operators of the west. Plan to Starve Miners. All the wage scales*- in the states named expire April 1; in fact, nearly all the mining scales of the country expire on that date. It is to meet this crisis that the meeting has been called in Chicago next November. The coal miners are getting better wages than ever in the history of the industry, taking working facilities into consid­ eration. The interstate price is based on 85 cents per ton for coal mined and run over an inch and one-quarter screen. Some of the western coal operators want this reduced to 70 cents a ton, and the coal miners will be met with this proposition this coming January at the wage conference. The eastern coal operators will not be represented at this gathering. Of course, the coal miners' representatives will refuse to accept the reduction and tbe mines may be closed down until either side is starved out. 6hutdown to Advance Prices. As a result the anthracite coal op­ erators have begun piling up coal and will do so all winter. The soft coal producers, it is said, will fill their WIFE TAKEN AT 8POUSE'S BIER PITS PEACHES RATHER t THAN ATTEND COLLEGE o Girl Secures Job In Michigan Cannery to Escape Attendance at Educational Institution. South Haven, Mich., dispatch: After having hidden her Identity for over a week, Miss Ethel Shoemaker, a 19- year-old Chicago girl, was found work­ ing in a canning factory here by her father. Miss Shoemaker lived in dread of going to college, and as the term approached she disappeared from home, came -here and secured a position in the factory tinder the as­ sumed name of Ethel Gilbert. When she applied the clerk was impressed by her refinement and dress and her natural unfitness for the work. She was assigned to a room in the dormi­ tory and put to work pitting peaches. Nothing m6re was thought of the in­ cident until her father appeared at the office and asked to see Miss Shoe­ maker. Being informed that no one by that name was in their employ, he showed a picture of the missing girl. "Miss Gilbert's" Identity was then dis­ closed as Miss Shoemaker and a fam­ ily reunion took place. The two Shoe­ makers refused to give their Chicago address; ^.
