President is Greatly Oisappoint-
 ed at the Outcome
WILL TAKE CARE OF CRUM
Democrats Caused Matter to Go Over Because They Announced That Their Speeches Would
 Last Two Weeks.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, April 28.-(Special )-Near- ly two years ago President Roosevelt In an effort to capture the negro vote in the doubtful states forced upon the peo- pie of Charleston, S. C., negro collector, ". D. Crum. Through the insistence of the senate democrats under the leader ship of Senator German of Maryland a vote has been prevented on confirmation and the appointment died with adjourn ment today. For the last three days the President has declared that congress should not adjourn without Crum's being confirmed and If 1t did adjourn an extra session of the senate would be called to take up the matter.
 At the executive session last night the case was brought up and Senator Daniel of Virginia started to speak against Cfum's confirmation. Senator Aldrich the republican leader walked over to Sem ator German, the democratic leader, and asked how long Daniel was to speak. Senator German replied that he thought about four hours, and then another dem ocrat would take the floor. Senator Cor man said he judged 1t would be at least two weeks before the democrats could conclude their speeches on the case. This being the case the republicans held a hurried conference and it was decided to withdraw the appointment from con- sideration. The statement was made by the republican leaders, however, that the case would come up immediately upon the opening of the next session. This was done in order to make the President feel that his party In the senate had done everything possible to secure Crum's S confirmation.
 President Made Statement.
 The gavels of the presiding officers of the senate and house had hardly fallen today when the President rushed back to the White House from the capitol, gave Crum a recess appointment and dictated a statement to be issued to the press of the country.
 Southern members of congress who learned of the Presidents latest statement tonight were inclined to be indignant over the affair. Many did not believe the reports that the President was so anxious to secure Crum's confirmation that he was seriously considering calling an ex- tra session of the senate. The statement and the meeting of the senate steering committee today, however. leave no doubt as to how near the Presidents heart Crum really is.
 In case of Minnie Cox, the negro post mistress at Indianola. a way was found to pay her a salary though she rendered TO service, but Crum ca n draw no salary, and it Is reported that the friends" who are going to furnish the ample funds" for Crum while he holds the office and draws no salary, Is the President.
 The money to pay Crum, however, may come out of the White Houses contingent fund, which is controlled bN the President and no report made of its disposition.
