Filling Vacancies in Southern States
Proving Serious Problem.
With the reassembling of Congress
President Roosevelt is giving more thor
ough consideration to Federal appoint
ments than he did during the Christmas
recess A large number of offices in all
parts of the country will be vacant by
the expiration of the terms of the incum-
bents during the present month.
The appointments in the Southern
States are the ones which are giving the
President the most trouble. With his de-
sire to promote the merit system as mach
as possible, he is dsmayed at the condi-
lions he finds existing in many Southern
States There are standing charges of
violations of the civil service regulations
against many of the Republican Office
holders who were appointed during the
Mckinley Administration for political SER
vices rendered in the campaign of 1895,
when the national committee was lavish
in its pledges to Republicans south OF
the Mason and Dixon line in an endeavor
to break up the solid South.
1t was the very evident inefficiency OF
some of the incumbents of offices found by
President Roosevelt that caused him
soon after the opening of his Admins
tration TO declare that he would appoint
only good men to Office, Republicans IL
they were eligible, and Democrats II he
could find no competent Republicans.

WAKEMAN AT
WHITE HOUSE.
Dismissed Appraiser Called
in Consultation.
ALLEGED SILK NATURALIZATION
President Discusses With Him the
Charges of Customs Fraud on Ma
teriaIs Imported by Rosenthal &
Co., of New YOrk-Oners His Aid in
Proving the Case.

Wilbur F. Wakeman, recently sum-
marily dismissed from the Office OF ap-
praiser of the Port of New York after
he had refused to forward his resigna-
tion al the request of Secretary Gage, was
called to the White House yesterday by
President Roosevelt. The two had a long
conference touching upon the pending
investigation of the alleged undervalua-
tions of silks imported by Rosenthal &
Co., of New York
SILK Frauds Under investigation.
The Department OF Justice is under
taking a thorough investigation of these
charges. Wickham Smith, a customs law
yer retained by the Merchants Associa-
tion of New York, has been designated as
a special attorney of the Department of
Justice to pursue the investigation.
The fact that Mr.. Wakeman was called
into consultation by the President was
considerable of a surprise. Mr.. Wake
man, it has been said. was ousted from
the Office of appraiser because he brought
charges of fraud against Rosenthal G. Co.
He charged that they had secured the ad-
mission OF silks at an differentiation by
bribing officials in the custom house.
Mr.. Wakeman Persisfent.
The charges were investigated at the
time, but were then not sustained. Mr.
Wakeman, however, never lost an oppor-
tunity TO bring them up, and in this line
OF conduct he was strongly supported by
the Merchants Association of New York
This organization has all along held that
fraud really did exist, and Wickham Smith
was detailed to investigate the matter
for the Merchants Association.
Mr.. Wakeman declined to talk about
his visit to the President further than
to say that he had been called to the
White House by the President, with whom
his personal relations were most pleas
ant, and that he had given the President
such information regarding the underyal-
ustions as was in his possession.
Mr.. Wakeman said that he had offered
his services and would help the Depart
Inent of Justice to the extent of his abil-
ity. The proceedings, he said. might be

The case of Judge Noyes of Nome,
Alaska, who was fined for contempt OF
the United States Court of Appeals in
San Francisco. in connection with al
legged conspiracy to secure mining lands
in the Klondike, was up for brief con-
sideration at the Cabinet meeting yester-
day. The Attorney General stated that
he had not been formally notified OF
the decision of the California court
which sentenced several OF Judge Noyes'
accomplices to Imprisonment.
Pending the receipt of the report the
Attorney General will take no action in
regard to the case. Judge Noyes Is at
present quite i'll in San Francisco, and
reports state that his chances for recov-
cry are slight. There are at present
charges filed against him in the De-
