Changes Likely
in Near Future
Secretaries Mellon, Daugherty.
Dcnby and Hoover Are
Expected to Resign
From Positions.
By International N>w» Sere tee.
Washington, Aug. 9.—Speculation
on possible changes in the cabinet
of President Calvin Coolidge flooded
the capital today with rumors flying
that at least four members will re
lire to private life within the next
month.
While President Coolidge has given
no Inkling of Ills attitude toward the
cabinet beyond his official statements
asking all members to remain, some
of his closest advisers have permitted
it to become known there will be a
number of changes. Republican party
leaders have "canvassed” the. situa
tion thoroughly and their opinions
are almost unanimous that at least
four members will resign within a
very few weeks.
The cabinet situation, based on a
consensus of opinion among. party
leaders Is as follows:
Charles E. Hughes, secretary of
state: Probably will remain, at least
until after congress convenes, to com
plete treaties which he formulated
during the recess. If his friends for
mally launch a presidential boom be
hind him his resignation would come
at once. The party leaders are urg
ing Mr. Coolidge to retain him.
_ . . , w tl 1
Mellon 9 RnigiwMWH V •
Andrew M. Mellon, secretary of the
treasury: Resignation expected and
•probably will be accepted. Mr. Mellon
is reported ••disillusioned" by his ex
perience In public office and greatly
desires to retire to private life. His
warm friendship for ths late President
Harding alone kept him in the cabi
net this long. Party leaders would
like to have him remain.
John Wingate Weeks, secretary of
war: Will remain. Friends of Presi
dent Coolidge want him to direct the
executive’s probable campaign for re
election.
Harry M. Daugherty, attorney gen
eral: Will r$pign almost immediately.
His illness precludes continuation in
office. His post probably will go to a
prominent New York or Massachu
setts lawyer.
Harry M. New, postmaster general:
Probably will remain. Friends of Mr.
Coolidge desire him in cabinet for hiH
political sagacity. He is reported as
having indicated his willingness to
stay. . ..
Edwin Denby, secretary of the
navy: Resignation expected and will
he accepted. The navy post, looked
upon as a "social assignment.” prob
ably will go to a personal friend of
the new president.
Work’s Future Uncertain.
Hubert Work, secretary of the In
terior: Future uncertain, with some
of Mr. Coolidge's advisers demanding
a practical western business man for
his post. I.earned that Secretary
Work, who Is a physician originally,
desired post as chief of* public health
service. May be transferred.
Henry C. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture: Future uncertain A ma
jority of Mr. Coolidge's advisers de
sire a practical "dirt farmer" in this
•secretaryship. Wallace’s record in
office so far favorable, party leaders
may demand his retention.
Herbert Hoover, secretary of com
merce: Resignation expected and will
be accepted, probably within month
or two. The presidential boom
launched by Hoover's friends preclude
his remaining in cabinet. The Hoov
er boom started months ago for 1928
has I jeon diverted to 1928. party lead
ers say.
James J. Davis, secretary of labor:
Will remain. His record looked upon
with favor by President Coolidge and
the secretary deemed big asset by the
president’s advisers.

Tender-Hearted Judge Christens
Nameless Boy as “John Doe’’
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
That celebrity John Doe has arrived
in Omaha.
“John Doe" is the baby discovered
August 3 in the rear seat of an auto
mobile which had been parked in
front of the Vendome hotel, Wymore,
Neb. The court looked John over and
loaned him a name, but failed to pro
vide him with a birthday, judging that
he had been born "about August 1,”
but the Omaha authorities who have
had a look at him suspect him of
being a few weeks older.
Young as he Is, John Doe has seen
a good many changes in his brief
stormy life. First, there was his
mother, although who she is and
where she is no one can guess. Thci.,
after what interval no one will ever
know, there was e. brief episode with
the traveling man who discovered
John in the rear seat of the car,
and lost no time in turning him over
to the probation officer of Gage
county.
For several days John’s needs were
supplied by the county. As there was
nothing about the baby left in the
car to indicate any name or any
identity, the court judged some sort
of name to be among his needs, and
supplied him with the “handle” which
courts give, to those whose identity
cannot be discovered.
Judge Leonard Colby of the Gage
county court turned over the baby to
the Nebraska Children's Home society
whose officers brought him to Oma
lia yesterday and took him to the
Methodist hospital. John is a plump
little fellow with big blue eyes and a
lusty' voice which suggests that here
is a young man who will be heard
from. The picture shows him In the
arms of Mrs. Ft. D. Ralls anti was
taken in the office of the Nebraska
Children's Home society.
Clifford, a blonde little fellow, horn
May 25, arrived at the Children's
Homo society rooms by the same
train and automobile ns John Doe and
was sent to the Clarkson Memorial
hospital. The society has received
many requests for children for adtqs
tleu in the last few days, but is re
ceiving new children even faster than
the requests.
Mother Seeks Son.
Joe Harrison is sought by Ids
mot iter, who is at the point of death
at the home of Mrs. Mary J. Kay lor,
Fall River, Mass., according to a let
ter received by Omaha police.
He formerly lived in Rhode Island
and was employed ns a guard by the
Western Maryland railroad, but is
believed to have come west.
Anna E. Tierney is seeking to 'o
cate her brother. Pat. Tierney. She
lives in Buffalo. N. V.
Capper- Tincher
Bill Defended bv

Farm Bureau Head
John Covertlalr Declares Grain
Control Aet Is Not Kcspon*
sible for Drop in
Wheat Prices.
Chicago, Aug. ». — The Capper
Tincher bill is not responsible for the
present decline in wheat prices, John
\V, Coverdale, secretary of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau federation de
clared, In a statement Issued yester
day.
"Jf wheat is down for this reason,
why should corn he up when it is
traded in exactly the same way and
subject to the same regulations'.’” Mr.
Coverdale asked. "Corn is about 22
cents higher than a year ago and
wheat about 14 cents lower.
"Hysterical interpretation of sup
ply and demand has carried wheat
prices lower than the facts justify.
Speculation on the exchange Is high
ly sensitive and has always been in
clined to exaggerate the facts.
“In his administration of the Cap
per-Tincher bill, the secretary of. ag
riculture has asked dealers to file re
ports of purchases and sales of in
dividual customers in excess of 500,
000,000 bushels. If buyers kept out
of the*speculative market because
they were required to file these re
ports. wily should not sellers stay
out also? Jf both refrained from deal
ing their lack of activity would be
offset on each side. Obviously it is
childish to try and hold the Capper
Tincher law or its administration re
sponsible for present low wheat
prices."

—Old Mother Nature
A Disobedient Young Chuck.
It isn't always the best thing in the
world to have things perfectly ease
and comfortable and safe. There is
such a thing as having things too easy
and comfortable and safe. This is
true of human folks, and even more
true of the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows. You
know the only way the latter learn
is by experience. Those who are con
stantly in danger usually are the
smartest in avoiding danger.
Now, the children of Johnny and
Polly Chuck were growing up without
much knowledge of the dangers of
the Great World. Because their home
was where it was, their enemies kept
away from them. So day after day
the young Chucks ate and napped and
played without a thought of danger.
Once in a great while Bedtail the
Hawk would swing high overhead.
Then B*>l!y Chuck would give the sig I
