tant Secretary OF the Treasury Curtis
aud entered a vigorous protest against
the approval of the appointment Of Mr..
Clarke, OF Gallipolis, o., as local inspec-
tor Of hulls at Wheeling. The Congress
man pointed out TO Mr.. Curtis that it
was hardly the thing to do to bring
man a couple Of hundred miles from
Ohio
TO FILL A LOCAL OFFICE
in Wheeling. The assistant secretary
seemed 10 see the force OF the congress
mans argument and promised he would
not approve the action OF the board OF
dssiQutors in naming Clarke for the In
sDectorship Of hulls until an tnvestiga-
zion could be- bad Mr.. PendietOn Is
determined that no one but resident OF
Wheeling shall get the place II he can
prevent.

Mr.. j. h. Edwards. editor Of the
Weston Times, who has been in Wash
iogton on a visit, is the candidate for
the position Ia the internal revenue
service in New York, left vacant by
