Black Is Offered Attorney-Generalship,
MOODY GOES MARCH 4
Friends of New Yorker Do. Not
Believe; He Will Accept
HE WANTS TO BE SENATOR
fTo Enter the Official Family of Roose
velt, ex-Governor Would Have to
'Sacrifice a Law Practice
.Worth $100,OOC Year.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17. The World to
morrow will say:
Ex-Governor Frank S. Black has been
tendered the offer of the Attorney-Generalship
In President Roosevelt's Cabinet
for the term beginning- March 4, 1305-
Whlle President Roosevelt has not for
mally Invited Mr. Black to become a mem
ber of his official family, the tender of the
Attorney-Generalship has been made In a
way that carries with It the assurance of
the President that he would like to have
New York's ex-Governor In his Cabinet
of younger men which Roosevelt is under
stood to want as his associates during the
new Administration.
It is the view of ex-Governor Black's
friends both in New York and Albany
that he will not accept the Attorney-Generalship,
because it would mean sacri
ficing a law practice which. It is said, nets"
him $100,000 a year, and which his friends
say he could retain if Tie should be elected
to the United States Senate. For this
reason, the ex-Governor's friends assert,
he would prefer to take the Senatorshlp.
The understanding of those New York
Republicans who know of President
Roosevelt's plan to prevent a fight over
Chauncey 31. DepeWs seat in the Senate
is that TV. H. Moody accepted the Attor
ney-Generalship only on condition that
his term should terminate on March 4
next. It is believed that President Roose
velt may invite Mr. Moody to remain in
the Cabinet after that date in some other
capacity. But this is a point which is in
teresting New York politicians very little.
Their main concern is whether Mr. Black
wllhaccept the Attorney-Generalship.

setts, and now held by; a local attorney
here under power of attorney on the. plea"
that his fee has not been paid, must be
turned over to the state, and that shofctld
rthe attorney refuse to do so, the warrant
will be canceled and a new warrant is
sued to the state.
About a year and a half ago Congress
appropriated about jy00,000 to reimburse
the State of Massachusetts for expenses
incurred in fitting out troops during the
Civil War, including interest and premi
um on gold paid by the state. Previously
the state authorities had entered Into a
contract with a Washington lawyer to act
as state agent in looking after the claim,
and agreed to allow him 10 per cent of
the amount received. The attorney holds
the warrant and refuses to turn it
over to the state until his fee of 1160.000
Is paid. The state contends that the fee
Is greatly excessive and makes other al
legations tending to -show that the attor
ney is not entitled to the fee claimed.
The Attorney -General holds that the
warrant belongs to the state &hd that the
attorney has recourse to the courts to es
tablish his. rights in the matter.
CANAL COMMISSIONER RESIGNS
Hecker Finds the Climate Unfavor
able' to His Health.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. Frank J.
Hecker has resigned as a member of the
Panama Canal Commission.
In his letter of resignation sent to
President Roosevelt, Mr. Hecker said
the climate of the canal zone is unfa
vorable to his health, and he felt con
strained to resign. The President ac
cepted the resignation, and in reply to
Mr. Hecker's letter paid the retiring
Commissioner a tribute, and expressed
regret that his health would not per
mit him to serve any longer. Mr. Heck
er is from Michigan.
President Roosevelt has not consid
ered yet the subject of a successor to
Colonel Hecker on the commission.
There has been some speculation re
garding the successor of Colonel Hecker
and several names have been suggested,
among them Senator Cockrell, of Mis
souri, and Judge Charles E. Magoon, who
is now attorney for the Canal Commission.

William L. Pitcher, Twen
ty-eighth Infantry, by directing the chief
of staff to write a letter to the officer.

that lack of evidence and a desire on the
part of the friends of the young lady.

to other persons, has determined the de
partment shall cease proceedings. The
letter criticizes Colonel Pitcher, and In
closing contains a severe reprimand for
the language he used in communications
to the department. (
