The resignation of Mr. Hughes will be effective B£arch 4, when he com pletes four years as head of the state department. Mr. Kellogg is expected to take office immediately afterward. The prospective cabinet change was announced late today at the White Housed Mr. Hughes, it was said, de sired after 20 years of public life, in terrupted only by a short period, to return to private life. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Hughes expressed to President Cool- idge his “deep appreciation of the 1 confidence you have reposed and Of the privilege of serving under your leadership.” Mr. COolidge replied with an ex pression of regret and of renewed con fidence in his retiring secretary. The news of Mr. Hughes’ withdraw al from the cabinet just at this time surprised the capitol. It had been understood for some months that he desired to recoiipe his personal for tunes by again engaging in the prac tice of law, but recently his friends SHEATSLEY TALKS OF WIFE’S DEATH Ministar Asks Congregation To ^ait For Findings of Authorities, Disclaiming Guilt.

Appointed by Harding at th% outset of his term of office, the secretary took from the start a firm grip on the country, and was the adviser of the White House also on many ques tions of domestic policy. He carried a heavy flood of responsibility at the Washington arms conference as head of the American delegation, and in the period of his service handled also many intricate questions growing out of the war. With the accession of Mr. Coolidge to the presidency, Mr. Hughes remain ed to every outward appearance, at least, a trusted counsellor of the ad ministration. He and Mr. Coolidge always have appeared to see eye to eye on foreign affairs, but for some months opponents of Mr. Hughes policies in the senate, which has an advisory power on ’foreign affairs, have been a source of an apparently 1 growing irritation to him. He never has agreed with Senator Borah, the new chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, on some of the vital questions of foreign policy, al though no outstanding disagreement between them has recently appeared in the picture. Mr. Hughes’ resignation was an nounced a few hours after he had left Washington for Atlanta, to attend a meeting of the executive committee, of the Ameren Bar association, o which he is president. * He expects to resume practice of law in New York in his old firm of Hughes, Rounds, Sherman & Dwight. Mr. Kellogg, who will succeed him, also is a lawyer of outstanding pro minence. Before he became ambassa dor to Great Britain late in 1923 he was a senator from Minnesota, and in that capacity was one of those Re publicans who favored ratification of the league of nations with reserva tions less sweeping than the Lodge reservations. As ambassador, Mr. Kellogg has represented the United States in sev- eial difficult postwar negotiations. He now is in Paris, acting with Am bassador .Herrick . for the United States at the conference of allied fin ance ministers. “Several anoymous letters, purport ing to have been written by members of ray congregation,” the Rev. Mr. Sheataley declared, “have asked why we have not mentioned the tragedy that took place in our home.” This statement brought the Rev. Dr. Edward Pfeiffer, professor at Capi tol University, where the Rev. Dr. Sheatsley is professor of religion, to his feet with sn appeal for the pas tor to discontinue his remarks. ’This congregation has gone op record as expressing absolute confi dence in the innocence of our pastor and every member of his family. I, personally, was dissuaded with diffi cult, from offering a reward of $1,000 LAURENS PEOPLE WELCOME PATTON Union Service At Presbyterian Church For New Pastor. , TVkes Up New Work* Laurens, Jah. 19.—?he different church congregations of the city Sun day night united with the Presbyter ians in a union welcome service to the new pastor of _the First,Jj*resbj£ Patton, terian church, the Rev.

McGee of the First Methodist church, spoke words of wel come to the new pastor, both for themselves and on behalf of their respective congregations.

It was publication of these letters and others written recently to the pastor that caused him to discuss the mat ter before his congregation. The Rev. Mr. Sheatsley stood silent ly, and with bowed head, while Dr. Pfeiffer talked, then answered: “Dr. Pfeiffer has misunderstood me. It is I, not the congregation, who have been questioned. I wish to ask my congregation to wait in patience until the rigid and thorough investi- be in any way criminally implicat ed.” The pastor’s last remarks were di rected toward stories carried in local papers that County Prosecutor King had submitted evidence gathered by his investigations before a grand jury.
