NEW RULER OF BELGIUM
TELLS OF C0NG0'S NEEDS
King Albert and Samuel Hill Discuss
Problem of African Country.
BelittIes Atrocities

SEATTLE, Jan. 5.-King Albert of
Belgium, who visited Seattle twelve
years ago, talked recently in Brussels
about the Congo State with Samuel
Hill, who has just returned home.
King Albert said:
"The problems in the Congo are
somewhat similar to those you have in
your own state of Washington. We
have a vast and undeveloped country
with immense industrial possibilities,
in need Of transportation, factories,
the education Of its people, and we
must overcome physical obstacles in a
great part similar to yours.
The stories of atrocities in the
Congo country have been greatly ex-
aggerated, but it is my hope that the
unfavorable conditions may end en-
tirely. I want to educate and develop
those people. On my last trip l saw
natives who had been trained under
us who are now running as engineers
on our railroad and who are paid So a
day This shows what can be done
with the natives and what we are
really doing.
I'm so far as 1 am concerned I don't
intend to make any money out of the
Congo I only hope to administer af-
fairs for the benefit of those people. q"

INSURGENTS IN
ANXIOUS MOOD
BELIEVE TAFT WILL ONLY
"S1ARVE" LEADERS
PRESIDENT DENIES HE WILL
USE HIS WHIP
Victor Rosewater Tries to Explain
Executives Action In Withhold
lna Patronage from So
called "RecaIcitrants'
Associated Press1


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-While no
formal statement was forthcoming at
the White House today, there was no
attempt in administration circles to
deny that President Taft is withhold
ing certain customary congressional
pafronag e from recalcitrant "insur-
gent senators and representatives.
President Taft is reported as taking
the attitude that if an obligation rests
upon him to give certain patronage TO
a representative of his party there is A
reciprocal obligation upon the repre-
sentative to support the president.
A number of the so-called ''insur-
gents" were out in interviews today,
saving that they heartily agreed with
the president legislative program and
asserting that, instead of using the
"yyhip" on them the president should
use it on these leaders who, in the past,
had opposed the Roosevelt policy Whlch
Mr. Taft is seeking to enact INTO law
On the part of the president, 1t was
said today that Withholding of patron
age does not apply to all the "insur-
gents" and has absolutely nothing TO
do with their fight against Speaker
Cannon.
Victor Rosewater, Republican ma
tional committeeman from Nebraska
one of the insurgent states, saw Presl-
dent Taft this afternoon, and in an in
terview said
1.-THE president said to me that he
wanted me to help correct reports that
are being circulated to the effect that
he is using the patronage club to whip
so-called insurgents into line.
Old c. o. P. Custom
1.-THE president says there is a well
founded custom that has become almost
a rule that, in making certain appoint
ments, such as postmasters, the presl-
dent should act on recommendation of
members of congress in whose districts
the appointments lie, if represented by
a member of the same political party.
This obligation resting on the president,
however, is reciprocal, he feels.
THE Republican congressman, he de-
clares, is under a similar obligation to
support legislation recommended by
the president.
1.-THE president says he has not turned
down recommendations of insurgent
congressman, but is simply preserving
the status quo to impress them with
their obligations"
Many insurgents" however, have
frankly told the president they would
support him in his legislative program,
which already has been pretty definitely
outlined They declare themselves to
be Republicans first and last, and say
they will support measures framed to
carry out the party platform.
There are still a few insurgents" "
however, who are disposed to carry on
an absolutely Independent attitude, and
who are generally against everything
that leaders of the party are for.
To make their position stronger, they
are said to be willing to ally them
selves with the Democrats.
1t is against these so-called recalci-
trants that the mo patronage" order
has been issued, and so far as Pres-
dent Taft is concerned it will stand
until the members see fit to subscribe
to the party's legislative program.
