Friction With Secretary Hitchcock
May Make Il ChunEe Seees~nry-W-
r. Merriam, Director of the Cen
Hus. Mentioned for the Place
The fact that 9 number OF prominent
Republicans including ex-senator Garter
Of Montana. have recently written FTesi-
dent Mckinley urging the retention OF
Riuger Hermann as Commissioner OF the
General Land Office, gives color 10 the
report that the Commissioner VIII soon
make way for a successor. From what
could be learned this morning it seems
there exists considerable friction between
Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner
Hermann. This friction, it Is said, dates
back several months.
Commissioner Hermann's tenure Of Of
fee viii expire shortly. and it is the
knowledge that he Is not on the best
terms with the Secretary of the Interior
that has caused the Commissioners
friends to come TO the front and try TO
save him. The man mentioned this morn
ing as the probable successor to Com
missioner Hermann Is William r. Mer-
Ram, Director OF the Census II IS point
ed ont that Director Merriam Is thor
otighlv acquainted with the land laws,
and IS in every way qualified to fill the
Office and that his appointment Nouiu DS
satisfactory to the Western interests.
a friend of Director Merriam said to
dav that the position OF Commissioner OF
the General Land Office would be congo
NAL although the salary IS not as large
as that of the Director of Census But
there is this difference to compensate
the opportunities for appointment are
less. II was also pointed out that there
is to be n large reduction in the force OF
clerks employed IN the Census in the near
future, and in order TO escape the wrath
to come Director Merriam would not hest
tate to accept the COmmissionershIp OF
the General Land Office If 1t is rendered
to him Whether Director Merriam IS 20
be Commissioner Hermann'S successor
or not il seems to be generally accepted
that d charge in the Land Office viii soon
be made
1t IS said there are q number Of aPpi-
cauts for the Office. There seems TO be
10 doubt but that q Western man viii
be appointed, as IN recent years all the
Commissioners have come from that sec
