P. NIGHT WIRE WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. Several changes In the Cabinet by next spring are looked for In Washington as a result of the rumor that soma members are to resign to resume private life, and a belief that President Coolidge after next March 4 will prefer a Cabinet entirely of his own selection.

Upon assuming the Presidency after the death of President Harding, Mr. Coolidge requested all members of the Cabinet not to submit their resignations. While he has made no such request with the approach of a term of four years to which he has "been elected by vote of the people, he has neither asked for nor received in any way resignations of members of the present Cabinet. It is expected that he will urge successfully several members of the present Cabinet to continue in office after his inauguration in March. Although Secretary Hughes is understood to have indicated to friends that he would prefer for private reasons to return to the practice of law, it Is the general view that the Secretary of State will continue at his post for a year, if not longerr while Secretaries Mellon and Hoover as well as Stone are regarded as fixtures.

On the other hand, Hubert Work Secretary of the Interior, has intimated to friends he wishes to retire, Mrs. Work recently died and he is known to have felt the shock very severely. WEEKS MAT RETIRE While Secretary Weeks is closo to the administration and regarded as the man for the office, friends report that he, too, because of 111 health and for personal reasons would like to step out of offl- cial life. There are also persistent rumors that Secretary Wilbur is being considered for a Federal judgeship in California. He came from the bench to head the Navy Department, but is one of the two members of the present Cabinet select ed by Mr.

wh have yet not been served with warrants charging them with conspiracy, fraud and larceny. Other officers were trying to serve warrants for thirty-six asserted clar-voyanta and psychics whom, it averred, have been violating consistently city ordinances in the operation of their tratt. Tomorrow morning a3 will sea the summing up of evidence collected by Webb at Saa Francisco with a view to the inauguration of quo warranto pro ceedings, looking f.ward the revocation of the cnarter not only of the National Independent Spiritualist Association but of every other like organization whose tactics have been that of a diploma mill. Search warrants Issued Friday by I'cliee Judge Sheldon for the headquarters of virtually every commercial psychic wfthin the city limits of Los Angeles when served yesterday brought additional in formation to the prosecutor.

STATE LAWS LAX Among the new organtratlons to make their appearance in the field Of inquiry are the Church of Eternal Truth, Christ Spiritualist of Los Angtlcs, the Independent Snlrv Itualist 'Church, San Frarx-isoo. the Second Spiritual Church of San Francfsco, the Church of Occult Thought, Los Angeles; ths Universal Church of the Master. Washington, D. the Fraternal Brotherhood of Spiritualist, Los Angeles; the Christian Spiritualist Alliance, Long Beach; the Spirituality Church of the Soul, Portland, the Spiritual Temple of Truth, Los Angeues; the Church of Spiritual Creation, Los Angeles, and the. Apostolic Spiritualist Church, Los Angeles.

All of these organizations are ordaining Spiritualist misisters under various corporate constitutions and by-laws, the prosecutor has discovered. How many thousands of persons have been victimized in addition to the large tile list already In his possession as the result of the N.I.S.A. raids ther can be no telling. Nearly all of these organization, the prosecutor hax found, have their centers in California; this perhaps being due to the undoubted laxness of California corporats statutes with respect to nonprofit associative bodies. FIRST GUILTY PLEA Among the possibilities of ths early part of the week as a result of the revelations procured through tha seizure of the N.I.S.A documents is a grand Jury investigation at San Diego of all psychics who have been operating there under the credentials of the N.I.S.A.

These, in a hurried summary of the files taken yesterday, numbered moro than a score. It was pointed out yesterday that Chester C.

So the dream of the Moscow Reds and their followers of a world revolution to start In Britain goes up in smoke for the time being, at least, and the world at large can take a lot of comfort in that fact and In the stability which come to the heart of the greatest of empires. But the decision of the British people to set their feet on the old paths is not the finish of labor troubles In that land. In fact, the election and the installation of the Conservative Baldwin Ministry is but the prelude to a great labor conflict. The Red revolutionaries may have been tai rht their lesson, but the powerful Labor party of more than 6,000,000 and the great unions It represents must now be subdued if that can be done.

The greatest problem of the Baldwin ministry will be to compel the British worker to work as Germans, Frenchmen and Americans work. Unless he does so, Britain will be unable to recover if Doctors Say She Suffered Little Shock, But Anxiety Over Heart rnr a. p. nioht wirkj MARION (O.) Nov. 8 Mrs.

IDLING A SCIENCE What I am now laying stress on Is something which had no emphasis In the recent British cam-Daien. but which In the minrta nf leaders of that country and outside observers had a place as Important as the question of countenancing revolutionary agitation.

It was known that, as the result of the election, whether it went Conservative or went Labor, the employers and workers were going to come to grips over the question of elll-cient labor. Scientific idling, restriction by unions of the output of their members, has long been a cardinal prin- clble of British uniondom.
