to Those Concerned.
ATTACKS BY ENEMIES
HELPED HIS CHANCES
Report of Special Agent Most
CreditabIe 0ne-Had Many
Friends in Congress, Where
He had Served.
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The nomi-
ration of F. Carter Tate to succeed him
self as United States district attorney for
the northern district of Georgia was sent
to the senate today by President Taft.
The nomination. which is one of the most
popular ones the president has made, will
be confirmed Immediately, as both Sena-
tors Bacon and Clay are the warm per-
sonal friends of Mr.. Tate.
Mr.. Tate is now in Washington. He
was chatting with friends in the house OF
representatives. of which he was formerly
member, when informed of his nomina-
ton by The Journals correspondent
That's good was his only comment
at the time. but the smile that illuminat-
ed his face indicated clearer than words
his sense Of relief and the deep apprecia-
ton he felt at the news. He was not
surprised, however, for he had been as
sured last week by reliable persons that
he would be nominated within ten days.
Mr.. Tate's friends are elated over his
appointment They regard it as a vindica-
ton of his official record, which was
maliciously attacked by Mr.. Tate's per-
anu ROiiNiNdl ttiCiniGS III 6eOTRld. III
may be stated on high authority that the
investigation precipitated by the charges
Ct Mr.. Tate's enemies operated to the
benefit of the district attorney.
The report of the special agent in real
ity reflected great credit upon Mr. Tate.
and made his reappointment doubly
sure. The attack upon Mr.. Tate also
had the effect of rallying to his sup
pert his friends In congress, who are
legion. During his II years service in
the house, Mr.. Tate made many friends,
and these men-Democrats and Republi-
cans alike-resented vigorously the ex-
traordinary, not to say unfair methods
adopted to defeat his denomination. MIR.
Tate has been district attorney for years.
He was appointed I'm December, 1905, by
President Roosevelt. and began the dis
charge of his duties on December Is of the
same year for a period OF four years.
His term really expired on the 18th of
last December but ON account of his ex-
cellent record President Taft allowed him
TO continue in office pending the investi-
cation.
Mr.. Tate's Office force will consist of
John w. Henley and f. A. Ansley, as
sistant district attorneys; Mike L. Cow
ington, chief clerk, and T. L. Galloway,
clerk and stenographer.
Mr.. Tate will make these recommended
lions to the attorney general and the APP
pointments will follow.

CLAIMED HE WAS COOK
TO GET A BIG DRINK
Man With Grip as Big as North
Pole Facetiously Claimed
Identity.

NEW ORLEANS, March 2S.-Reports
that DR.. Frederick A. Cook and former
President Manuel Bonilla, of Honduras,
were passengers on the steamer Albanga-
rez drew a large crowd to the third
district fruit wharves when that vessel
locked here today. These reports which
were generously circulated for several
days, were just as generously denied by
the steamship officials and others.
When the crowd, which included many
Central American politicians, was re-
minded that former President Bonilla was
last heard from at Belize and that the
Albangarez had touched only at Limon
on the way up from Colon, search for
the deposed president of Honduras ended,
but the more curious continued on the
lockout for DIR. Cook.
''You are DIR. Cook, are you not?' was
asked one passenger who had disembark-
ed with a grip almost large enough to
hold the north pole.
Yes, 1 am DR.. Cook the man replied
facetiously. Can you show me where
can discover a large drink anywhere in
this neighborhood?" he added. He was
accommodated by a large portion of the
crowd. and the search for the Brooklyn
physician ended there, at least Temporal
rily.
Representatives here of the Nicaraguan
insurgents who are expecting financial aid
from Bonilla, say that he probably will
reach New Orleans from Belize on the
steamber Agnella, which docks tomor-
row.

REPUBLICANS CAUCUS
ON TAFT'S MEASURES
See Danger for Them if This
Methodical Procedure Is
Not Adopted.

WASHINGTON, March ga caucus OF
the Republicans of the house is to be
called for next week to arrange the pro-
gram of putting through that body the
administrators measures now pending
in congress. This was agreed upon at
the Whitne House today.
Representatives Townsend and Hamil-
ton Fish told the president today that a
caucus is about the speediest way to Sc
cure methodical action. The president will
ask the Ohio Republicans to. see to the
calling of the gathering.
The president was told that none of
his important measures before congress
were in danger, but that there had been
more or less unavoidable delay in placing
them before the house.
Mr.. Townsend, in charge of the admin
istration railroad bill in the house, said
his committee would meet tomorrow. and
he expected to take up at that time the
question of reporting the measure to the
house.
The committee has agreed upon the bill
and il was only necessary to whip the
provisions into a detailed shape and
frame a report. Mr. Townsend pronounc-
ed false the allegations that the president
had insisted upon any certain bill or
form of bill. Mr.. Townsend considered
extremely unfair certain criticisms that
had been made in the senate.

PittSburg, Nightly Stirred BY Graft, Plans
Commission Government and Vice Cleanup
Remarkable Charge by Arch
Bribetaker of Universal
Graft in Smoky City--RooSe-
Welt Started the Gre a t
Bribery UpheavaI-To Ex-
pose Men High Up Who
Profit by Vice.
BV AnuuS Gordon.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 2s.-Out of
the jungle of municipal graft, opened to
view by the wholesale prosecution of
bribe-t taking councilmen and bribe-giving
business men, there has arisen in Pitts
burg the fair form of the commission plan
of government, and to this the reform
element of the city pins faith for the
future.
The amazing rottenness of the city
government as revealed by the confess
sion of indicted and convicted council
men has stirred the city, and now theirs
are many willing ears for ways and
means Of cleaning up the mess.
When w. H. Stevenson, leader of the
citizens reform movement, declared
that the commission plan be adopted
he became the hero of the situation. The
machine politicians will fight tooth and
nail to defeat Stevenson's plan, but he
declares that 1T cannot fail if the peo-
pie are sufficiently aroused.
He points out that so American cit
les, with a total population of 100000
now operate under commission plans
and thereby escape graft and extrava-
gance. Under the commission plan
Pittsburg would be governed by a board
of citizens, who would take the city's
management out of the hands of ward
bosses and partisan politics, and apply
to it strictly honest business methods.
There would be no party names on the
ballots, and the commissioners would
not represent the selfish interests of
classes of city sections, but each would
be responsible to the whole city.
Capt Johnny Klein, who for years
distributed the graft among his fellow
councilmen and who confessed his
bribery crimes at the threshold of the
penitentiary, says that the council sys-
tenn has been responsible for Pittsburg' s
corruption. He admits that councils in
which he sat pocketed over 100000 OF
brides, given by six banks to get the
city's deposits at low rates of interest.
and by the Dallas G. Byers steel mill
to vacate a street which the Byers con-
Germ could use in it's business. These
cases of bribery are well established
but that the councilmen have been open
for any sort of money, from any source
is the truth of the matter.
Klein says that it was inevitable that
councilmen should fall to bribery. They
are not elected for their honor, and
most of them are cheap men," he said.
The city pays these men nothing for

their time, and they have to live, you
know. Those of us who took brides
are no worse than the rich and respect
able business men who passed us the
cash. Why, there's graft these days
in nearly all business. Ninety per cent
of the business people of Pittsburg are
grafters. It's the American system"
These are the words of a self-conress-
ed thief and can be taken for what they
are worth, as showing the depth OF
Pittsburgs shame.
Pittsburgs graft system, hand in
glove with the rotten state system, is
hoary with age. There have been spo-
radio attempts at reform in late years,
but these did not come to anything.
The town was content, apparently.
The present upheaval was really start
ed by Roosevelt, when in 1908 a bank ex-
aminer reported to Washington his dis
covery that the bank was buying coun-
cilmen's votes to get city deposits at
low interest rates. T. r. stirred certain
prominent citizens to action and an in
vestigation brought out the astonishing
truth that six prominent banks. with the
knowledge and approval of their rich and
influential directors were head over heals
in the business, and one by one facing
prison and hoping for immunity, coun-
cilmen have confessed their part in the
transactions.
w. A. Blakeley. district attorney, defy
ing the influential bride givers as we'll
as the vengeful bride takers, caught in
the laws net, has forced the prosecutions
through the courts. He has all along
declared that he was after the men higher
up the big, respectable fellows, who for
business success have traded in council
men and have sold out the peoples rights
His biggest victory came when Capt
Johnny Klein go-hetWeen of councils and
business. made a full confession. Klein,
a picturesque politician, had fought his
prosecution stubbornly. He declared he
would never confess. After his convic-
ton his brethren in crime failed to sup
port his family. and sending for Blake
ley he told him the whole rotten story.
Blakeley let down the immunity bars
