DONNELLY ON TRIAL
Public Printer Must Convince
Senate of Fitness.
EXAMPLE OF NEW ATTITUDE

Upper House of Congress, in Pursu-
ance of Its Recent Determination
TO Investigate Presidential NOmi-
nations, Is Not Satisfied with New
Yorker and May Not Confirm Him.
The Washington herald., 1909-01-15

Samuel B. Donnelly, Of New York, is
on probation as Public Printer. and un-
less he makes good on the Job" his
nomination will not be confirmed by the
Senate. IN any event, there is little
probably that there viii be a cOnfirma-
ton OF his appointment prior 10 March T.
This case illustrates the new attitude
Of the Senate toward Presidential nOmi-
nations, outlined by Senator Depew re-
Gently, when he declared that the Senate
had informally determined that nomina-
tons TO Offices whose administration af-
fected the whole country, or any con-
siderable part OF it. would not be confirm
ed simply because the members from the
State where the nominee lives are salts
fed.
He added that TIE objections Of Sen
ators from other States which had an
interest IN the Office 10 be filed would
receive attention. Mr.. Depew further re-
marked that the Senate would investigate
the fitness OF all such candidates, and
would confirm no nomination until salts
fed. through its own investigation. that
the appointment was in the public in
terest.
Recess appointment.
DOnnelly's was a recess appointment,
made in November. Strangely. his nomi-
nation was not sent 70 the Senate for
several weeks after Congress had as
sembled- No explanation was given for
the delay.
Tba uor,Traf tor, v-a.r rr-.,-aa o.. 4-,.-+ -
Senator Depew, for the reason that he
had not been consulted about the appoint
ment and knew nothing about the new
officials fitness. Sincs then he has made
private investigation into the history OF
the candidate, and has become satisfied
that he is qualified for the task assigned
him. Senator Depew nOw favors the con-
armation. Il is understood that Senator
Piatt is also willing that DonneIIy should
have the position.
Here is where the Senate's new plan
operates Under the old system the ac-
quiescence Of the New York Senators
would insure the confirmation. Under
the new order the fact thar the Office OF
Public Printer concerns the country at
large has caused further delay, because
other Senator's are not wholly satisfied.
Try the man out, IS the way one Sen
ator OF prominence puts il. The Gov
ernment Printing Office is q large con
ceTn- has larger force OF employees. and
disburses q larger sum than most Il not

Mr. Donnelly may be the Moses 20

fore in his career tackled so big a

international Hens.

The advantages that people who live
exactly on the line between two coun-
tries have in escaping the customs and
other regulations of both countries
have often been recounted. Probably
the most picturesque instance Of this
kind of evasion occurred in the town
of Nogales, which lies exactly on the
boundary between Mexico and Arizona,
On the United States side of the line
m this town eggs were at one time
made costly by the revision of the
tariff schedule pertaining to that pre-
uct, inasmuch as the hens in that
gion were chiefly owned on the Next
can side and were fed by the peasants
on cheap Mexican grain.
One year Maine Yankee arrived in
Nogales with an eye to business. he
was convinced that his opportunity lay
In the high price Of eggs. Accordingly
he put up a long henhouse exactly
across the boundary line. At the Mex
lean end he regularly fed his hens with
low priced Mexican grain.
The fowls ate their grain in Mexico
and then walked across the line into
the United States to lay their eggs.
The transaction was, of course, per.
fectly legitimate, for the proprietor OF
the hennery struggled neither grain
nor eggs. But he availed himself OF
high prices on one side and low prices
on the other.-New York Tribune.

TILL ROBBED OF S12.
Night Man Seguin Relieved Of Money

Night Man SeguiD Relieved Of Money
While Attending TO the Fires.
The till in the Office of the Pa
vilion hotel was robbed on Thurs
day night or early Friday morning,
while the night man, Charles Seguin,
was down attending to the fires.
When Clerk Heating left the Office
last evening there was left in the
money drawer about $12 for change
to be used by the night man. The
lock to the till has been defective
for some little time and it has been
the custom when leaving the office
to take the till from this drawer
and place it in another to which
there is a lock. This Mr.. Seguin
failed to do and when he returned
the s12 was missing.
Who the robber was is a mystery
but Mr.. Seguin says that there was
a stranger hanging around the re-
ception room in the evening and he
had told him to get out, supposine
that the stranger had obeyed. Ht
says that just as he came back tt
the office after attending to the fire!
he heard the front door shut. HI

the night trains were covered bu
no trace of any suspected burglar
was found.
