THE ADDICKS SITUATION
The President Has No Notion of
Taking a Hand in the
Mix-Up.

From The Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington. Dec. 4.-!The Addicks stu
alton in Delaware has not changed since
the election. The president does not want
to recognize either faction. and has not
done so, notwithstanding the recent ap-
pointment Of William M. Byrne. That app
pointment, according to the president s
own statement, which ought to be taken
as offsetting the numerous rumors that
are circulating so freely, was made be-
cause Byrne has long been a stanch
Roosevelt man, and not because he hap
pens to be connected With the Addicks
faction. After the appointment had been
made "A ddicks came out in. a glowing
statement to the effect that the appoint
ment was a substantial recognition Of the
claims of. the Addicks men, This state
ment the president felt called upon to
deny. as already: said.> At the late cleo
ton in Delaware the Addicksites polled
very many more votes in Delaware. than
the other faction and some of the repub-
lican leaders here We're accordingly in
favor of the recognition Of that faction;
but the president refused, and there the
matter rests. Meanwhile, the republican
leaders are becoming very tired of the
Delaware fuss, and want the two places
in the senate from that state filed Rep
resentative Ball, for several years, or dur
ing the 1nix-up, has been dispensing fed
eral patronage in Delaware. but he will
retire from congress next March T. and
what will then be done nobody vet knows

HE WANTS TO KNOW
Mr.. Tawney Wires the Lumbermen's
Export Association About the
London Dock Bill.
He Asks What Changes Have Oc-
CURED in the Conditions, Caus-
ing This Change of Front.

From Tho Journal Bureau, Room 80, Post build
Washington. Dc THE chang of
front of the LumbtVn1en's National Ex
port association on the London dock bill
is great surprise. In the telegram re-
ceived by Representative Tawney last
night the association says that the pas
sage of the bill is no longer necessary and
asks Mr.. Tawney not to press it in the
house.
Mr. Tawney wired asking: "What
changes had occurred in the conditions at
London or in steamship methods Up
to a late hour today no answer had been
received to this telegram MI. TaWney
says he knows nothing of the reasons for
this change Of attitude on the part Of the
lunbermen, but that he will pusue the
program outlined and will call up the bill
tomorrow and will push it through to a
vote. In the absence Of definite informa-
ton. he refuses any conjecture and is
awaiting a reply from the lunnbermen
Other friends Of the bill are without de-
finite knowledge but believe that the
steamship interests have been working Sc
cretly with the lumbermen and have made
some arrangements with them that will
relieve them from the payment Of dock
charges. This has caused a backdown
on their part and a rank desertion Of the
millers and other shippers interested. It
will be recalled that when the bill was in
committees of the house and senate repre-
sentatives OF the lumber export associa-
lions were the most prominent in urging
favorable action on the bill and loudest in
their denuncfation of the steamship COM
panies. The desertion of the lumbermen
leaves the millers practically alone in their
fight for this legislation but the friends
of the bill say that, Notwithstanding the
withdrawal Of this support, they will fight
for the passage of the bill. Mr.. Tawney
has notified other members of the house
who want to see the bill go through and
some hard work will be done between
now and Tomorrow morning to line up the
powers for the fight
