SECRETARIES SHAW AND MOODY
WILL RETIRE.
WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS OF
ENGLAND CAUSE TROUBLE.
NEW   MEMBERS  ARE APPOINTED,
Cortelyou, New Secretary of Treasury.
Bonaparte, Attorney General—Metcalf, Head of Navy.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—The following statement regarding prospective changes in President Roosevelt's
cabinet was made public at the White
House tonight:*'
"Oct. $*, 1906.
"On the- retirement of Secretary
Shaw and Attorney General Moody
from the cabinet the following
changes will be made:
"Secretary of tbe Treasury—George
B. Cortelyou.
^Postmaster General—George vonL.
Meyer.
"Attorney General—Charles J. Bonaparte.
"Secretary of the Navy—Victor H.
Mtetcalf.
"Secretary of Commerce and Labor
—Oscar S. Straus."
The general understanding for some
time has been that Attorney General
Moody, will retire on the first of the
coming January and that Secretary
Shaw will follow him on the tow**
of March. On the first of tbe year
therefore, Mr. Bonaparte, who is now
secretary of the navy, will succeed
Mr. Moody as attorney general, and
he wiU in turn be succeeded by Mr.
Metcalf, the secretary of commerce
and labor, the latter's pllace being
filled by Mr. Straus. Mr. Cortelyou,
90W postmaster general, will take Secretary Shaw's place on the' fourth ot
March, at which time Mr. Meyer is to
become postmaster general.
Announcement After Long Session.
The announcement of 'fce prospective changes in the cabinet was made
late in the afternoon, following a protracted cabinet meeting earlier in the
day at which it is understood the whole
matter was considered fully. The
changes contemplate the introduction
of two men in the cabinet, Mf. Meyer,
who is to be postmaster general, and
Mr. Straus, who is to be secretary of
commerce and labor.
The faot that Mr. Meyer was to
have a place in the cabinet has been
known for some time, but the name ot
Mr.' Straus has been mentioned only
incidentally, if at all, in connection
with the President's ideas. The transfers of Messrs. Cortelyou to the treasury, Bonaparte, to the attorney ■ generalship, and MeTcalf ~to 'the navy, have
beed generally accepted as among the
probabilities for some time, although
it has been known that both Mr. Bonaparte and Mr. Metcalf were for a time
loath to leave their present positions
because they had become so fully
identified' with the work of their respective deparlments.
Meyer's Record.
Mr, Meyer, who will become postmaster, general, is ambassador to Russia, to which place he was-appointed
on March 6, 1905, having been, promoted to that office following his service as the ambassador to Italy from
4900 to 1905. He is a native of Massachusetts, and has been well known as
a business man.
Record of Mr. Straus.
The appointment of Mr. Straus
caused considerable speculation, as it
will be the first: case where a citizen
of the Hebrew faith has been made a
member of the President's cabinet.
He was born Dec. 3, 3850 and is well
known as a merchant, diplomat and
author. He represented the United-
States as minister to Turkey on two
different occasions and was appointed
by President Boosevelt to fill the vacancy caused by the death of ex-President Harrison as a member of tlie
department of the permanent court of
arbitration at The Hague.
Found Their Way Into House Of Commons—Resisted  Removal.
LONDON, Oct. 23.—Unusual excitement in connection with the reopening
of parliament today was caused by tbe
presenoe of about 100 women suffragists, many of whom, despite the
protests of the police, managed to find
their way into the outer lobby of the
house of commons with the intention
of buttonholing the members in support of their movement. A number of
the suffragettes, as they are termed
here, mounted vacant ehairs in the
lobby and began to harangue the few
members of parliament present ln that
part of the house. The polioe, after
being reinforced, made a strategic advance against the invaders, taking the
women singly, and gradually ejected
them, one by one, from the house. Tbe
most militant of the women struggled
so desperately that two officers were
required to remove them. Their hysterical shouting and screaming
brought crowds of alarmed members
of parliament from the house. During the height of the tumult a small
band of the staunchest suffragists determined to attempt to break into the
honse itself and charged towards the
entrance of the inner lobby.   Some of
e women tried to climb over tbe
barrier and others attempted to crawl
under lt. For several minutes the utmost disorder, almost a riot, prevailed
and the police had fl they could do to
eject the women, who resolutely refused to leave without the use
force. ■     ■ 'im ' J

the Kansas City elevators of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway

a rule in the Kansas City board of

suspension for dealing with irregular

points brought out here today at a

A score of grain dealers, elevator

E. W. Shields, elevator agent for the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway and active manager of. the Si-

"Material well being, lndlspensible
