To be Moved to StatesWNe.

The office of the commissioner
of internal revenue for the west
ern district of North Carolina, is
to be moved from Asheville to
Statesville. This decision was
today announced by Mr.. Yerkes,
commissioner of internal revenue,
after having the matter of locat-
ing the office under consideration
for a year or more.
THIS office has been located in
a number of towns in western
North Carolina in times past, but
for Is years it has been located
at Ashevllle. When it became
known a little over a year ago
that the commissioner of internal
revenue was thinking of making
a change on account of Asheville
not being centrally located, a
number of towns, among them
S%tatesville, Wlnston-Salem and
Salisbury, sent delegations' here
to press their several claims. The
commissioner has had the case I'M
der consideration since then. The
home of the present collector, Mr..
Brown, is at Statesville, and he
recommended that the office be
removed to Statesville. Mr.. Yer.
kes states that the removal is for
good business reasons. States
Vile is much more conveniently
located, being a center of the reve-
nue. producing territory. The
two principal revenue towns, Sal
isbury and Winston-Salem are es-
pecially convenient.
This removal will be a consid-
cradle advantage to Statesville
and a loss to Asheville. Thu of.
flee at present employs IL clerks.

A negro convict on the State

The board of aldermen of Fay
etteville, will pay the hospital ex-
penses Of the officers who were
shot some time ago by the negro,
Tom Walker. The salaries of the

Tom |. Johnson Not Chosen.

Detroit, Mich, March 21.-
William Jennings Bryan, in an
interview here tonight denied the
report that Mayor Tom L. John
son, of Cleveland, had been chosen
to manage his next Presidential
campaign. Col. Bryan said that
the only reason he could see for
the starting of such a rumor was
the fact that he recently visited
Mayor Johnson over night. Col.
Bryan said he had MT decided
whether he wonld be a candidate.
Speaking of the railroad situa-
ton, Col. Bryan expressed the
opinion that the first step toward
reform was to ascertain the value
of the railroads, since a reason
able rate would be one that would
give reasonable return on a legit-
innate Investment, and at present
no one knew what the railroads
were really worth. Col. Bryan
said that the La Toilette resolu-
tion providing for an appraising
of the railroads of the country
and which was voted down in
Congress, ought to he re-intro-
duced in the form of a bill and
enacted into law.
"When the present value of the
railroads is ascertained," he said,
''steps should be taken to prevent
any more watering of stocks. No
stocks or bonds should be issued
except for full value"

FROM EVERYWHERE.
Brief Mention Of Events Occurring in
Various Localities.

While a heavy snow was falling
recently in New York city, a wan.
dering evangelist exhorted people
after this style: "There'll be a
warm time coming for you sin
ners. I'm standing here IN the
cold to tell you that you'd better
enjoy the snow while you have a
chance. When it begins to rain
red hot gobs of phosphorus on
your poor blistered backs, you'll
remember the man who stood out
in the snow and tried to save
you"

All claimed there was q general
feeling among the psople that
Roosevelt should be a candidate
for a third term. One of them
wrote to the President about it
and Secretar~ Loeb replied, that
the President had nothing to add
to the statement made on the
night of his last election, when he
said he would not be a candidate
again.
There was a commotion on Wall
street last week. A broker was
sued for telling a lie, "a very unu-
sual thing on Wall street.) The
broker is accused of lying about a
piece of property he sold to some
Massachusetts men. Matters are
coming to a nice pass when bro
kers are not allowed to lie about
the property they sell.
Here is the best story of the
season. A pair of five-inch sur
geon's scissors were taken from
the thigh of Mrs. W. R. White, of

week. She was operated upon for

To the Editor Of The Washington Times
Suppose Congress should pass an act
making the president Of the Board Of
Commissioners eX offcio a member OF
the House Of Representatives during
his term as Commissioner. He might
speak and vote only When District mat
tiers were before the House He would
be a member OF the Committee on the
District of Columbia. and take part in
conference committees Of the House and
Senate on AFFAIRS OF the District. The
turmoil Of local political parties would
be avoided, the President could remove
him for Just cause, as at present. He
need not attend the daily session Of
Congress so as to interfere with his
present duties. but. as 1t is. no doubt
much of his time is devoted 10 District
affairs in relation 10 legislation. and il
would be much better II he were right
with the COMMITTEES as one OF them and
speak as one having authority The
three Commissioners would "a Spare
bills for Congressional action, just as at
present. His successor as president Of
the board would become an NJ. 9. eE
OfhciO. His salary as a member Of Con
gress would perhaps be the difference
between his present salary and that Of
a Congressman (ST,5Q)), and the salary
OF his private secretary in the same rel
alive proportion with that Of a Con-
gresham.
Thus suddenly Washington would
have representation with no particular
