All this brings up the subject of Captain
Hull's dire to remove the headauarters
of the Department of the Missouri from

no legitimate reason for this change, but
Hull believes that it might strengthen
him in Des Moines if the change proposed
was brought about. To the Bee rep

believed In a general rearrangement of
the military departments. He has a scheme
to reduce two or three of the present de

WASHINGTON. Dec. IS It has been
known here fr several days that the name
of George W. Wickersham of New Tork,
has been under consideration by Presldent
elfct Tftft for the post of attorney gen
eral. Among others consulted by Mr. Taft
concerning Mr. WicVersham's qualificationa
wes Senator Knox, former attorney general
-f .h i .,,. -v ,,' ,n
,or
the choice of Mr. Taft for the post of sec-
j pf Senator Knox declined to
UiscUBS the question ln anv wav. but It Is
I understood he nd,.ra! Wl(k.r,h.
j fully and argued that a man of sufficient
capabilities in the legul rrafesslon for the
, attorney generalship could cot be found
i unless taken irom the list of those who
have had some experience as corporation
j lawyers.
; The imr
tant office cf sec-eta ry cf state
under the incoming administration is still
ur.flllsd. Ttie exigencies of Per.nsyivanla
politics tare led Senator Knox to enter into
earnest conference with his friends regard
ing the answer he shall make to the Invita
tion of the president-elect to become his
secretary of state. Vp to this moment the
senator r as not yet reached a decision so
far as caJi be ascertained. For some time
it has been rumored that President-elect
Taft had in mind the appointment of either
Senator Kncx or former Senator John C,
Spooner.
While in Washington last week Mr. Taft
told several cf hi close advisers that if
he could fill to his ertire satisfaction the
porition of secretary cf state, secretary of
the navy and attorney general be would
I ot 1 at all disturbed by the difficulty
of getting suitable appointees for the re-mstel-g
posit 1t.s. It is generally believed
here thst an Ohio man will be selected for
secretary of the treasury.
Balliaarer for Interior.
No name except that of Judge Richard
A. Esninrer cf Seattle, Wash., former
commissioner of the gener! "and effice,
is heard here ln connection -th the sucre
taryshtp cf the Interior 1rir m nt. and
it is thought that he stands an excellent
show for this place.
It was stated at the capltol that Mr. Taft
is l.xiking for a man to take the war rv.rt -
folio who has had sufficient experience to
work out the reorgnn ixatton scheme put
Into force by Mr. Root while he was at
the head of that department. It Is said
that Mr. Taft haa several snea In mind,
but Is not readjr to make a selection.
It Is known that at one time Mr. Taft
had In sr.ind the selection of Charles A.
Thompson cf New Tork to be secretary cf
the navy. Whether the appointment of
Mr. Wkkersham will Interfere with this
idea Is not known, but it Is not likely that
more than two men will be drawn fron
New Tork stste.
Tbe position of secretary t commerce
and labor has been mentioned to a great
extent and tn some quarter it Is thought
probable that Secretary Straua. wbo also
is froea New Tork. win be continued la
that post for a time at least.
