Cabinet Chang: As the old administration draws near {ts close speculation increases over the men President Coolldge will retain in his cabinet. Following closely on reslgnation last week of Attorney General Stone to become & member of the Supreme Court and the appointment of Charles B. War- ren to become Attorney (eneral, Washington was electrified with the announcement that Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, who has been an outstanding man in public life for the last 20 years, would leave the cabinet March 4. His successor was chosen before the announcement of his resignation became public. Am- bassador Kellogg, now representing the United States In London, will be- comeSecretary of State after March 4, Ambassador A. B. Houglton, who now represents this country at Ber- lin, will be shifted to London to suc- ceed Ambassador Kellogg at the Court of St. James. The latter part of the week saw the resignation of another public offetal, C. Bascom Slemp, who became private secretary to the President shortly after he took office. Mr. Slemp will retire to private life to take up the practice of law, and his successor will be Representative Everett Sanders of lf)'“nna. Wwho planned to retire from Congress at the close of Its present session. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, one of the influential men in the Presi- dent’s cabinet, has been offered the Post of Secretary of Agriculture Wwhen Secretary Gore retires March 4.

Then both the at- tacking and defending soldiery went on & wild rampage of looting, adding more fear to the terror-stricken hearts of the shopkeepers. Four American destroyers of the Aslatic fleet were rushed to Shanghal, and other warehips are ordered to proceed to the port to protect the lives and property of Americans. Salvage Sunken Treasure. Working in 319 feet of water, Capt Benjamin Leavitt and =& crew of divers have salvaged $400,000 worth of copper from & British ship sunk oft the coast of Chile In 1869. The divers wore diving sults invented by Capt. Leavtit, and under high-pres- sure electric lights which made the bottom of the mea as bright “as the light of day.” The ship from which the salvage operations were directed was outfitted by the captain to rescue treasure which lles In the sunken hull of the Lusitania. The Chilean trip was made to test his diving ap- paratue. Scientific Notes. In order to diecover what undevel- oped resources lie covered at the bot- tom of the sea, the Navy Department is fitting out a special ship which will be named the Maury, and which will begin its investigations in the ulf of Mexico.
