MAY RETIRE
FROM CABINET!
_
New York, Sept. 1.—The New \ ork !
newspapers this morning predict the!
early retirement of Attorney General j
Me Reynolds from President Wilson's
cabinet. He is quoted as saying H»at
his presence as a member of the presi- j
dent’s official family is a handicap to
the administration, and further de-;
elures lie objects to being the goat.
The hand of the attorney general is
being forced by a smalt coterie of ene
mies, headed by Delegate \\ icker
sham, of Alaska. Wickersham headed
a deputation which visited the presi-;
dent Saturday to protest against the
pardon of Bullock and Houston, the
Alaska coal conspirators.
** ['here is no question in my mind,
said Delegate \\ ickersham, but that j
the department of justice is under the
influence of the Guggenheuns. The
attorney general's recommendation for
the pardon of these convicted men is
due, in my belief, to this influence-"
