WILL ATTEMPT TO
SMASH MACHINE
IN SOUTH
PreSident-EIect to Break Power
OF Referees
HAMMOND WILL ASSIST HIM
Republican q cIubs to Be Organized
to Revoke Power Of Dietators
Federal Appointments.
HAMMOND WILL ASSIST HIM

Augusta, Ca, Jan. 22.-Conditions
that have prevailed in Republican
politics in the South for the last forty
years are to be revolutionized by VIII
liam H. Taft. According to his
friends here he has decided to aban-
don the referee system in the distri-
button OF Federal patronage in these
States.
On the referee system has been
heaped all the blame for the ineffec-
dveness of Republicanism in the
South. Under its operation the two
or three men who could persuade the
Government at Washington that they
were the most influential Republicans
in their State have had the absolute
and final word as to who should get
the Federal offices not already occu-
pied by themselves The result has
been that the referees have used the
Federal payroll to further their own
interests and to reward their person
al friends or political hangers on.
Now, according TO men who have dis
cussed the matter with Mr. Taft he
Is determined to break up the rule of
the referees. Just what agency he
will use has not yet been decided
Three plans are under consideration.
One is to have civil service agents in
quire into the character and abilities
of the men put forward. The second
is to have the Independent clubs.
which are to be founded under the
leadership of John Hays Hammond.
President of the National League of
Republican Clubs. take large part
in awarding the Government jobs
The third, which seems the most ser.
viceable, is to combine the useful
ness of the clubs and the civil ser
vice agents.
That Mr. Taft would reach the de
cision now attributed 10 him seemed
forgone conclusionuafter he made
bis Atlanta speech promising that his
administration would mark an i'm
provement in the personnel of the
office-holders of this section. This
promise was received with evident
appreciation and delight by Demo
Gratis as we'll as the best Republicans
In the South. From all sides he has
received counsel that he must abolish
the referee system.
AS soon as 1t was noised abroad
that such advice had been given the
referees and their lieutenants began
to protest. Some of them came to
Augusta in person and others wrote
long letters to persuade Mr.. Taft that
they were the only ones able 10
carry the Republican banner to vic
DRY. Then followed the most careful
investigation by the men closest to
the President-elect, and their final
verdict was that not only should the
negro cease to have an arbitrary i'm.
portance in Southern politics, but
that everything possible should be
done to elevate the personnel of the
white ofiice-holders in every State.
In the next six months much work
will be done in organizing the indie
pendent clubs in the Southern cities
and towns. 1t will be under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mr.. Hammond
who distinguished himself in the cam
paign last fall by making the League
of Republican Clubs live agency in
the fight.

CRIB DEATH LIST
MAY Be UP TO
A HUNDRED
Survivors Make Claims Of Grim
inal Negligence.
PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW
Contractors Assert That City Of
Chicago Authorities Did Not Ask
For steel Structure.
PROSECUTIONS MAY FOLLOW

Chicago, jan 22.-President Joseph
d'Andrea. President of the Sewer and
Tunnel Miners Association, ex-
press the fear that the victims of the
tragedy at the intermediate crib
may reach 100
81 am told" he said that there
were about 175 men working at the
crib when the fire started If this
proves true the number of dead will
easily reach 100. Many of the men
who are missing are undoubtedly at
the bottom of the lake, and their
bodies will probably never be re-
covered Our organization will make
an investigation"
Coroner Hoffman says the dead are
possibly sixty-six Tlere are forty
seven bodies at the morgue, which
corresponds with the number report
ed missing by the Jackson company.
But the company's pay roll was Gin
complete and inquiries have been re-
ceiyed for nineteen men whose names
were not on the pay roll, but who
were said by relatives to have been
working at the crib by the day.
OF the thirty-nine injured who We're
rescued fifteen remained at hospitals
OF these the condi,:on of five were
said to be critical.
"The Public Works Department of
the city is responsible for such a
structure" said the Deputy Building
Commissioner ut was specified in
the contract with the George w. Jack
son Company that precautions should
be taken against fire
ut would be absolutely impossible
for me to erect a steel crib for tenn
porary purposes unless it were paid
for by the city said George w. Jack
son of the construction company.
III the city had been willing to pay
for a steel intermediate crib | Ger
tainly would have had no objection to
erecting it"

"Brown lived at 1873 Maple avenue
