Washington, Dec. 21.-The presence
of Mai. ]. F. Hanson in Washington
has started afresh the report that
Collector of Customs Deveaux at Sa-
vannah, and Internal Revenue Collec-
tor Rucker, at Atlanta, are to be re-
placed by white men at an early day.
This report is said to be in line with
a new policy the President is about
to inaugurate in dealing with federal
appointments in the South.
In support of the story, 1t was SAID
that Col Bob Lowry, of Atlanta, was
here last week to confer with the
President and Secretary Shaw OH the

Hanson was invited by the President
to come to Washington to consider the
appointment of successors to Deveaux

was denied that any discussion of Geor-
gia patronage has been held between
the President and the gentleman nam

White House to-day. He has not been

here.
Secretary Shaw is positive that
neither the President nor any one else
has discussed the removal of Deveaux
or Rucker with him. The records of
the department show that Collector
Deveaux's commission under his, lat
est appointment does not expire until
April, 1906. Rucker has no limit to
his commission. although he was APP
pointed about the same time as De-
veaux. Secretary Shaw says the Pres
ident has never indicated to him that
he intends to inaugurate a new policy
IN dispensing federal patronage In
the Southern states. He has said re-
peatedly that he proposes to judge each
case az II arises on its Individual mer-
It's and IN making appointments or
