DEVELOPMENTS are expected tomorrow
respecting q number of New York Fed
eral appointments which have for some
| time been hanging fire. Senator Thomas
! C. Platt is expected to arrive in Wash
| ington today and will probably confer
with the President tomorrow. The result
| of the conference, it is thought, will be
| announcements of appointments during
! the coming week. In the meantime
number of Republican politicians from
New York of lesser weight than Senator
PIatt have seen President Roosevelt IN
regard to the same matters.
McDougaH Hawkes., leader of the Twen-
ty-fifth Assembly district, in which Pres
ident Roosevelt was born, and John A.
Weeks. jr, the Assen,byman from that
district, were at lunch with the President
yesterday. They frankly admitted that
they had come to talk over the pending
appointments with Mr.. Roosevelt, but
were reticent regarding the result of
their conference. Both are working hard
for Seth Low in the New York municipal
battle. and both predict that Tammany
will be downed The President manifestS
the greatest interest in the campaign.
During the last few days there appears
to have been a general pilgrimage of
Senators from various parts of the cOun-
try to the White House. Senator Spooner
saw the President yesterday. and after a
conference hurried away to New York.
Late yesterday afternoon Senator Scott,
of West Virginia. and Senator Kearns, Of
Utah, together with ex-senator Elkins,
of West Virginia, called on the President,
but remained only a few minutes. Sena-
tor Platt will undoubtedly make an ap-
pearance at the White House tomorrow
Senator Mitchell and Senator Mcbride
of Oregon. both saw the President yester-
day morning
The vacancy on the Federal bench of
the middle district Of Alabama Is aspired
to by number of candidates, one of
whom will probably be chosen during the
coming week. The fact that the district
is thoroughly Democratic, with the Re
publican candidates weak in legal ability,
is ground for belief that a Democrat may
be chosen. Judge Sayre, nephew of
Senator Morgan. was the first whose
name was presented. Judge William L.
Chambers and ex-Gov. Thomas Jones
not so pronounced as to stand in the way
of their appointment. The former is a
well-endorsed candidate, and a man of
high judicial ability, as is likewise Gov
ernor Thomas.
Representative Shattuc is engaged in
preparing a bill on the anarchist ques-
tion. Together with Mrs Shattuc and
Dr- and Mrs Arthur l. Knight, he called
on President Roosevelt yesterday Before
completing the bill Representative Shat
tue VIII consult the Immigration Bureau
and the Secretary of State. The bill will
not provide for the exclusion of anarcb-
lists. 1t viii aim at the suppression of
anarchist meetings and the prohibition
of the circulation of anarchist pubIica-

There was no school yesterday and Eth

riding her bicycle. She takes falls from
times each day While riding up to the
White House yesterday morning, in some
manner she fell rather heavily to the
asphalt. In an instant she was sitting
upright. trying to disengage herself from
the bicycle and eagerly assuring her
brother and another youngster that she
