THE Cablenews" published this list of promo

stenographer in the War Department sent a let

changes given above was a copy of a document
which had passed through his hands, containing
the recommendations made by Secretary Taft to
the President The Cablenews" adds: For
obvious reasons the name of this stenographer
cannot be given That such letter re-

The Cablenews" referred the question TO Gov
ernor General Ide. who said that it appeared to
him to be a fake; that he had received no offer
Of appointment a judge of the Court OF
Claims in the United States: that far he
knew there was no vacancy, nor prospect of any.
and that he certainly had not applied for such
a position.
Regarding the place TO be made for General
Smith. the Governor said that this a con-
tradicton, a district presided over by a
districs Judge not by a circuit Judge He also
doubted If the commission was to be reduced in
numbers, as. had such a move been cOntem-
plated he would have been aware of II.
The appointments of Governor Ide and Cen
eIal Smith have been made according TO the
stenographer's schedule, but il is thought here
that the other changes merely foreca st
