WOULD BE SECRETARY Chief of Weather Bureau Removed Crowds Flock to Funeral Service for Scheming to Be Secretary of Agriculture. Washington, April 16. Prof. Wil lis Moore, In charge of the weather bureau since 1896 and appointed by Gfover Cleveland, was summarily re moved from office today by Presi dent Wilson.. Moore's lesignation was recently accepted to take effect July 31, but after an investigation of his alleged efforts to become sec retary of agriculture, the president withdrew his acceptance and issued an order of dismissal. Later the president referred the subject to the department of justice for Inquiry. Secretary of Agriculture Houston after a conference with President Wilson issued fa fctatement in which he stated that immediately after Moore's resignation had been submitted to the president charges had been placed against him by re sponsible men within the service and these were of so grave a nature the secretary of agriculture called on the department of justice for au investi gation. Houston said the investigation was not complete but that "the facts so far secured and laid before the pres ident yesterday were sufficient to warrant him deciding to withdraw his acceptance and summarily re move him." President Wilson also has directed the secretary to suspend Charles T. Burns, an empolye of the weather bureau, pending a further investiga tion of his case, and take such disci plinary measures with other employes as necessary where It was shown they had been unduly active inutiliz ing the public service for private ends. Unofficially it was stated at the White House that a campaign to make Moore secretary of agriculture had been extensive, that members of congress in various parts of the country had been canvassed and a letter-writing campaign had been conducted, among the weather em ployes. Moore has also been a target for attack. A few days ago a resolution was introduced in the house calling on the secretary of agricullure to ad vise congress regarding the appropri ations for the traveling expenses and also what amount of a lump sum in salaries was expected for the promo tions of the weather bureau employ es last. January and February and for comparative figures for the pre ceding four years. 'Moore tonight Issued a statement asserting that "the same force which attempted to disgrace and remove Dr. Wiley" is responsible for his re moval, and he branded as "Infamous lies' any intimation he had coerced employes of the weather bureau in supporting his candidacy for secre tary of agriculture, or that public money ha dbeen expended in his candidacy.

It was announced at the executive offices that the reason for the removal was "serious Irregulari ties In office." Moore recently tendered his resig nation to become effective July 24, but the president refused to permit him to continue In office. Moore's removal was derided upon at a conference today between Presi dent Wilson and Secretary of Agri culture Houston. "Moore was removed," taid Hous ton, after the conference, "because of gross misuse of the povers of his office. He used his subordinate and his official position to promote per sonal matters. This is all I care to say now." It was learned that the president, early In March, was deluged with complaints from all parts of the country that Moore had endeavored to utilize non-professional and vol untary weather observers in an ef fort to build up a political machine which would insure his appointment as secretary of agriculture. The president Is said to have been fur nished with many instances where Moore directed volunteer observers to write to the piesldent. advocating Moore's promotion. Secretary Hous ton investigated and reported to the president that the charges were well founded. He recommended Moore's immediate removal and the president concurred.

Hartford, Conn., April 14. The body of J. P. Morgan is at rest. It was buried today on the crest of the Cedar Hill cemetery, the sixth of the house of Morgan to find a resting place there. Although tho grave is heavily protected from ghouls, pre cautions were also taken hy arrang ing to have It under guard continu ously. Like all others of the family bur ied in the plot, his grave was marked with a small headstone inscribed: "John Pierpont Morgan, 1836-1913." In lieu of a headstone there towers tonight a monument of flowers, heaped in a huge pyramid over the grave. These were the last tributes of friends and relatives who came there with the body in a special train from New York after funeral services at St. George's church. An Immense crowd was at the sta tion and the peoplpe packed the side walks three deep as the funeral par ty drove through the streets of the city to the cemetery. Over the grave there had been erected a big white tent, church-like in appearance, with a chancel at one end. In the center was the grave. When the funeral party arrived, Mrs. Morgan, leaning on the arm of her son, was the first to onter with BlBhop Brewster of Connecticut. The opening anthem, was in the Episcopal committal service as the coffin was brought In. When the services, lasting ten minutes, were over, J. P. Morgan, Jr., escorted his mother to a carriage and then went back with his son, Junius, and stood while the grave was filled. The sardine catch of Europe has been a great failure. LABOR WILL BE SCARCE Portland Contractor Predicts Short age In Rose City the Com , ing Summer. Portland, April 17. "Labor con ditions will be such this summer that contractors and builders will have the greatest difficulty in securing enough mechanics to carry on the $7,000,000 worth of building sched uled for the year," said H. E. Deer ing, a local contractor. "While men have been crowding around the jobs all winter, ready to take two or three days' work a week at minimum wages, in order to sub sist merely, this summer the con tractor will be sending out his cry from Portland for more workmen. The spring work in the country will begin,' and the Varms will begin to call scores of laborers, manufactur ing industries will increase their forces and with every industry oper ating at full tilt, the builder will be In a bad way to find enough carpen ters and mechanics to complete his work on schedule time. "With 50 buildings, costing $7, 237,500, to be completed within the next few months, and with many of these structures employing 100 and 150 men each, the number of men engaged in the construction of . city blocks alone will exceed 3,500, and this does not include residences or structures costing under $40,000. The Broadway building, which I am completing now, uses 100 men, and I would estimate that the Plttock block could swallow up 100 and never notice it. There is the Mor gan building, which will employ at least 150; the Northwestern build ing, using 200 men every day when real construction work starts; the Bell Telephone building, which will utilize at a conservative estimate 150 men, and two score of. other build ings, ranging from $100,000 to $1, 000,000, which will take an aggre gate of hundreds of laborers and me chanics. Carpenters promise to be especially scarce, and while there will be plenty of bricklayers and per haps an adequate number of skilled concrete men, there is going to be a lack of steel workers and common laborers unless I am badly mistaken. Of course the fact remains that 1n Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and the cities of - California there is no es peciarbuilding impetus, aud perhaps those towns will be able to supply a large number of laborers and me chanics, but . this supply will not equip Portland for the big building epidemic of which she is on the verge. THE JAPANESE WILL MAKE TEST i (Continued from Page One.) feeling might be created in Japan, but he had not heard any intima tions that Japan believed the United States government was at fault. Protest in Senate. Sacramento, Cat., April 14. A protest direct from Japan against an alien land bill that would affect the rights of Japanese subjects in Cali fornia was read in the state senate today. . . - . It was a cablegram signed by the Osaka press and read as follows: "Jopanese pay profoundest respect noble spirit America. Regret repeat ed appearances anti-Japanese bills your congress. We hopo earnestly not pass any bill which destroy good feeling between America and Japan." No comment was made from the floor and the message was sent to be printed in the Journal.
