BY the committee not TO recommend

gravate conditions. The members CT
the house will have the right 10 state
their positions on the floor and thereby
obtain what satisfaction they wish. II
IL pointed odt that this course will
not allow any members to say here
after that they were forced 10 support
any action OF which they did not APP
prove.

bers are waiting for several OF the OF
Tended representatives To complete

Senator Fulton. of Oregon. has fail
ed in his efforts TO secure the reap
pointment OF a constituent as United
States marshal at Nome, Alaska. Mar
shat Powell has served four years and
his good record in office is not dis
puted, but Francis A. Heney, the graft
prosecutor OF San Francisco, advised
against Powells reappointment on the
ground that he was too closely assc-
ciated with Senator Fulton In certain
transactions in Oregon more than four
years ago.
Senator Fulton called at the White

lieved the president would allow the
appointment OF new marshal 10 go
over until the Taft administration.

ed on the president this morning TO
recommend the appointment OF Dan

The Democrats, led by Senators Gull
berson and Bailey will vigorously OPP
pose legislation on the postal savings
bank bill throughout it's debate, which
Is expected TO continue until the end
OF the session. II Is said that not
few Republicans will oppose the
measure also on the ground that IL
Is unconstitutional and would tend 10
embarrass the government. while also
placing congress in a ridiculous light
throughout the world. The govern
ment. ii Is asserted, has no right II
complain. inasmuch as the plan In.
wolves the collection or borrowing ci
money from the people, which IL
would have no right TO appropriate "A
any manner other than to return IL
10 the source from which 1t came. II
is claimed that this is form OF tho
banking business in which the govern
ment has no right TO embark.
Senator Bailey is preparing a speech
on The subject which will involve a
thorough dissection of every claim
made for the measure. II Is the belief
of many members OF congress that the
bill will die with the present session,
AS a result of having been talked to
death"
