Washington, D. c., Jan. 29.---The
Senate Committee On Finance, today
reported in favor CT confirming the
disappointment of the negro, DR..
Crum, to be collector of the port of
Charleston. The name was sent in
several weeks ago, and al held up
by the committee, which had about de-
cided to pigeonhCle it along with
other important nominations made by
Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt is the
setting sun and holding up his nomi-
nations is one of the ways old enc
mics have of taking a whack at him.
But there is a complication, which
caused the committee to act to-day.
Mr.. Taft, in one of his speeches, has
appointments in the South, which
would have the sanction of the best
element Of white people. But he
does not want the question of ap-
pointing a negro put up to him SO
straight and so early in the game, so

to hurry along the Crum confirmation
Senator Tillman, when asked what
he vas going to do about it, stated
tonight that he would fight the nomi-
nation if the people of Charleston
would give him their support, and
furnish him with data and SO forth.
He says he held it up before for two
years and he ought to be able to hold
it up now for five weeks.
Mr.. Taft seems very much con-
cerned about having these entangle-
ments removed before he comes into
office, and he want Crum confirmed
now, SO the responsibility will be
taken off his shoulders.
The bill introduced in the Senate
yesterday by Mr.. Kluttz "to provide
