Ma roll 2v-Willi L Moure, chief of the weather bureau at Washington, announced hist night ul the ilmncr of the Maritime Association that the weather bureau might soon is sue 1 uivca.t $ of ii whole month. Mr. Moore had bet-u joked liuirl by Rob K. Hodges when he rose and got permission to add to his, speech already delivered. He then said: "The weather bureau believes that for the first time in the history of meteoro logical science it has within its grasp the scientific basis of long range weather forecasting that is forecasts of the char acter of the month to come. " The details are not yet complete, and th. system will not be adopted for sev eral months to come. "It may be possible, and I believe it will be, to tell you New Yorkers and members of the maritime exchange be fore this time next year what the char acter of the coming month will be." Mr. Moore said after the dinner that he had not intended to make this an nouncement at this time, but had plan ned to give it first to the public through the scientific publications.

LEAVES FOR HOME. Attorney-General Hadley of Missouri Leaves New York. XKW YORK. Mar-h - With the Standard Oil li'-aiin. -o far as New York is concerned, do-cd. Attorney i.encral Hadley of Mi-souri -tart.d foi home, last night with his as-i-tant. Rush ('. Lake, anil Frank Jfajrennan, the Stand ard Oil lawyer from St. Louis. Alfred I). Kddy, the YA"etern counsel of the Standard Oil. left for Chicago. "I have made my case," said Mr. Had ley, just lcfore leaving. "I consider that I have proved every allegation con tained in the information I filed. When the case is argued I will ask the Supreme Court of Missouri to render a decision which will punish Standard Oil for its violation of the laws of Missouri in the past and to impose conditions which will guarantee that corporation's compliance with the law- requirements in the fu ture.'' Mr. Ilagennan before taking his train said: " My friend Hadley has given Missouri cause to le proud. J fed highly honored when I introduce him to a stranger as the Missouri attorney-general and I be lieve that there is a great future in store for him. It would be mighty good politics for any President to name him attorney-general of the T'nited States." Mr. H.igei man was not minded to dis cuss the probable effects of the disclosure- which have: attended the inquiry. He -aid that the corporation would have evidence to put oil the records in its be half, and that of the witnes-es who have already testified several will probably be called. "There j- no reason for attempting to muddle the situation," he said. "We shall make little effort to dispute the facts established by Mr. Hadley. Our air will be to show that, while the conditions shown by him exist, there has been no violation of the law. Our battle will be strictly along legal lines." S. A.
