McKIBBENS. BODE ISHOORNL BHI SOIC WOHBMAIDPOOOONOONK IID | Democratic Force To Be Kept By Att'y Gen. Hadley. Kansas City Mo., Dec. 7 —At in- vitation of Herbert Hadley, the in- coming attorney general, of Mis- souri, Sam B. Jefferies, the present assistant attorney general, has con- sented to remain in the department at least until the end of the next session of the legislature. From an intimation given out yesterday by Mr. Hadley, it is doubtful if any of the present Democratic force will be disturbed until after the legislature adjurns. “There will be a lot of Work to do,” said Mr. Hadley yes- terday, “ana it is important for the state that the department should be thoroughly organized. I have asked Mr. Jefferies to remain to help me out, and I think most of the others will do the same.” The Oil Spouted Forty Feet.
