himself in the last campaign by his work

ments of the party. His title will be vice

ment to the place was determined on

was visitor at Hot Springs. Va. before
Mr.. Taft left there to come to Augusta
Mr.. Taft has held from the outset that no
man should hold both the postmaster gen
eralship and the Craftsmanship of the ma
tonal committee, and when the question

tated, BroOker was the man most favor
ably considered. There was some mention

Stellwagen Deplores Delay.

Edward ]. Stellwagen. chairman of the
general Inauguration committee. was seen
today and asked for an expression on the
action of the House yesterday. Mr.. Stell-
wagon was lDath to discuss the matter,
but finally said 1t was of much i'm
portance to the country at large that he
would speak out.
"The delay in passing the usual naugu-
raj legislation is greatly to be regretted"
he said. 81 assume, however, that it is
only a delay.
''The bill is Identical with those enacted
for both republican and democratic Presi-
dents since 1889. l can see no reason
why the time-honored custom of holding
an inaugural ball should be discontinued
1t is an old story to the citizens of Wash
ington. but means much to visitors.
1.-The inaugural committee simply has
its hands tied until Congress passes this
bill. There are many things in 1t besides
the item relating to a building within
which to hold the ball. This Legislation is

other cities can be employed. reviewing

CONFIRMS WILLIAM PHILLIPS.
Senate Takes Action After "Cour-
tesy' Delay of Month.

Senatorial courtesy was responsible for
the holding up Of the nomination Of VIII
liam Phillips Of Massachusetts, to be
third assistant secretary of state for near
ly a month. In view of the fact that
Mr.. Knox Is soon to leave the Senate to
become Secretary of State his colleagues
considered it would be the polite thing to
refrain from confirming Phillips until they
had learned whether his appointment
would be satisfactory to the new Secre-
tary of State. Mr.. Knox was In his seat
yesterday and when the nomination was
reached on the executive session calendar
he at once gave his approval and Phillips
was con affirmed. His qualifications had
been discussed by Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Knox
at the recent conference at Augusta.
Mr.. Phillips has been chief of the divi
sion of far eastern affairs in the Depart
ment of State and is named to succeed
Huntington Wilson, who was appointed
minister. to the Argentine.

DENVER, Col. January 12.-John E.
Godding. president of the defunct State
Bank of ROCKFORD, who was sentenced
to from eight to ten years in the. peni-
tentiary for receiving deposits when he
knew the bank to be insolvent has had
his sentence commuted to from two to
two and a half years.
In his official capacity yesterday Gov.
Buchtel states that "in the excited state
of the public mind at the time of God
ding's trial mo one could have a fair
trial. and that the case could have been
prejudged.' The language and conduct
of the prosecution during the trial are also
criticised as highly improper. Godding
was sentenced November l. 1905
Reports that the governor intended
pardoning Godding created excitement in
the town of ROCKFORD. and several weeks
ago a delegation of depositors of the de-
funct bank and other prominent citizens
appeared before the governor and made
emphatic protest.
At that time Gov. Buchtel told his
visitors that the reports were not sub
stantially correct. but gave no intimation
that he contemplated ordering Godding' S
sentence reduced.

chief inspector September B. 1908, with
the recommendation that a fraud order
be not issued. as 1t was not shown that
Dorr was conducting fraudulent busi-
ness.
The matter was again referred to the
assistant attorney general on account OF
the receipt of a letter dated November

quested the department to furnish him
with a copy of the inspectors report for
publication, SO as to clear him from i'm

under the regulations only sixty horses
are allowed for each troop. while the au-
