PRESIDENTS POLICY
REGARDING APPOINTMENTS

Washington, March lO--A general
policy as to federal appointments was
determined upon by the president and
his cabinet today at their semiaweekly
meeting, AT the conclusion Of the
meeting II was announced that, for the
present at least, the uniform policy
would be to retain lncumbents In office
during satisfactory service. This policy
will hold, II was stated further, en-
tlrey irrespective Of the length OF SER
vice Of the incumbent. The policy an
nounced Is TO apply generally to all
departments OF the government
II Is in precise line with the deter
minatlon reached and announced some
time ago regarding postmasters The
announcement was made that In the
case OF postmasters, each would he de-
termined on It's merits, and II would
make no difference necessarily whether
the incumbent had served one or two or
more terms,
In line with the general policy OF civil
appointments, Secy. Taft said It also
had been determined not to appoint as
brlgadler- generals on the active list
army officers who had served 40 years
including service In the Civil war
These officers are now eligible to re-
NlItHltHL as DTlRhultl- BtltINlN, ana u
is not the purpose of the adminlstra-
tlon to make them brigadier-generals
on the active list.
The secretary said there were APP
proximately 40 such officers all OF
whom would be permitted to retire as
brigadier-generals or 10 continue TO SER
vice in their present grade at their OPP
ton. The adoption OF this policy will
open the way for the appointment as
brlgadler- generals many younger on
GERS than heretofore have held that
grade.
Postmaster General Cortelyou said AZ
ter the meeting that, although a de-
cislon had been reached as to the APP
polntment Of fourth assistant post
master general he was not ready yet
to make the announcement. He indl-
Gated that probably IN few days he
would announce the appointment OF
both the fourth assistant and the act
ing chairman OF the Republican nation
al committee.

Not he Solicited.

Columbus, O.. Nov. 13.-The Rev. DR..
Washington GLADDEN., moderator of the
Congregational church of the United
States, announced yesterday from his
pulpit that the controversy over
tainted money has been definitely
settled so far as the Congregational
church is concerned.
He quoted the resolution which he
offered at Seattle as follows
Resolved, That the officers of the
board should neither invite nor solicit
donations to it's funds from persons
whose gains have been by methods
morally reprehensfble or socially in-
furious" and added
The principle for which we con-
tended was not voted down at Seattle.
the board simply declined to take ac-
ton upon it, I am now satisfied that
that principle will be respected in the
future action of the board. There
need be no fear that moral issues
will be raised hereafter in the solicit
tation of money"
