MOODY'S JOB MAY GO TO ATTORNEY MORRISON
________
RESULTS OF BEEF INVESTIGATION HAVE PLACED MOODY IN BAD LIGHT
________
MOODY UNDECIDED
________
DECLARED THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO INDICT PACKERS
________
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 8,--The indictments of the beef barons of Chicago were the direct results of the President's attitude toward the beef trust cases when he last discussed the testimony with Attorney General Moody. The principal point raised by Moody was that there was not enough legal evidence upon which to justify the cases being put to trial.
President Roosevelt declared then that as long as there was a difference of opinion between United States Attorney Morrison and the Attorney General, the United States attorney should proceed at once to have the persons against whom the strongest cases were made, indicted. He declared that it was not the province of the attorney general to say whether a jury would convict; that must be left to the jury.
The outcome of the cases therefore will determine whether Morrison or Moody was right, and it is understood that if Morrison "makes good" he may get Moody's place.

CHINA WANTS A HAND IN PEACE MAKING
________
ASKS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT FOR REPRESENTATION AT PEACE CONFERENCE
________
JAPAN UNWILLING
________
CLAIM THAT THIRD POWER WOULD BE NUISANCE
--TO GIVE MANCHURIA TO CHINA
________
WASHINGTON, July 9--China's request to be represented in the Washington conference, on the ground that she is vitally interested in its proceedings, has been received by the president and informally transmitted to the belligerents. Whether the president has received the formal replies cannot be learned, but it can be stated that while Russia is inclined to favor the suggestion Japan will not consent to it.
Japan has already made public her assurance that Manchuria is to be restored to China. That is one of the principles for which she says that she has been fighting. Japan regards herself as fully capable of executing this promise without the assistance of China, and in view of China's inability before the war to cope with Russia in Manchuria, the Japanese government is unable to see what possible service a Chinese representative would be in the Washington conference.
The past week has seen few developments in plans for the negotiations. Negotiations for an armistice are not expected to be concluded until after the plenipotentiaries meet. It is pointed out again that the beginning of the rainy season in the war zone removes the necessity for the immediate signing of an armistice.

It is unfortunate that the state oil refinery scheme of Kansas was knocked out by a supreme court decision. The great fight put up by the people of that state deserved better success and the actual completion and operation of the scheme would have give the country valuable information towards the solution of the Standard Oil problem.

PEARY DELAYED
________
Can't Make Dash for the Pole Unless Men with Money
Come to his Aid and Subscribe Big Sum
________
NEW YORK, July 4.--Unless patriotic citizens come to the financial rescue of Commander Robert E. Peary, his dash to the pole will have to be postponed. The explorer has his auxiliary rigged schooner Roosevelt, the finest craft ever built for polar exploration.
She is all paid for, but money is needed for food equipment. The expedition cannot start unless at least $50,000 more is forthcoming. Peary is of the opinion that the money can be raised in time to prevent delay in the original plan The Roosevelt, which arrived last night on her maiden trip from Portland, Maine, remained at anchor in the North river off Weehawken today, and was visited by hundreds.
