If 1t Pans Out at the End of the
Year 1t May Be Adopted
By Congress.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The house naval
committee today voted a tentative an
prevail of Secretary Meyers plan Of re-
organization which will give the secretary
the power TO put his plan into practice for
one year.
BY adopting a resolution originating
with Representative Dawson of Iowa, the
committee reported a compromise be-
tween the rival supporters of the Never
and NeWberry plans, wherein the score
tary could use. Interchangeable. among
the various bureaus, the appropriations
for the fiscal year. which he would apply
in accordance with his reorganization
ideas.
1t is specifically provided, however, that
no appropriation shall be diverted from
its original purpose and also that the sec
rotary in making his estimates for 1912
shall put them in the old form
This practically leaves the way open for
the rejection of the Meyer plan IL. after
s years trial, 1t proves unsatisfactory.

SOME OF THE JURISTS
WANTED MORE SALARY
Nominations for Judges of Court of
Customs Appeals Are
Withdrawn.

Washington. Feb. 22-The President to-
day withdrew the nominations of AIfred
G. Coke, William II. Hunt, James F
Smith, Grin NJ. Barnet and Marion Dew
ries to be judges of the court OF Gus
toms appeals.
The explanation at the White House
for the withdrawal of the nominations was
that these positions were offered with
the understandings that they were to
get $1,000 a year each. as provided ia
the Payne bill. Congress having refused
to provide more than $7,C0J each. the
President felt it would be better TO with
draw the names until he had time to in
form the men nominated of the facts and
ascertain whether they were willing to
accept under the new conditions
It is known some of the proposed Judges
will not accept at tine reduced salaries
Judge Alfred G. Coke. on the Second cir
cult, who was nominated TO be chief
justice of the customs court, has indicated
that he would not accept the position at
5000 a year.
Those proposed judges who are willing
to serve at $1,000 year probably viii have
their names again sent to the Senate.

To places where the weather does not
penetrate. hundreds went yesterday and
enjoyed the holiday, only to have a bit Of
the enjoyment rubbed off when coming
into the open and encountering the ele-
ments once more.
Nearly all lines of business in Salt Lake
were suspended. The public offices,
schools business houses and other places
We're closed, while the theatres were open
and dong a great business. At the same
time nearly every public building was
used for one meeting or another, i'm com
memOTatiOn of an event which has taken
rank along with the Fourth of July and
other patriotic holidays.
The holiday spirit was apparent yester-
day. The first breeze of the morning
stirred countless flags that fluttered from
the maStheads of buildings or from the
verandas of homes. BY noon. the weather
was inviting enough TO entiCe crowds into
the downtown streets. and there was a
demand for matinee seats at all of the
theatres that packed the houses.
Later i'm the afternoon, the weather
changed again, and the cold winds blew
up a blizzard that created anything but
a holiday appearance.
Crowds i'm Main street found the Nelson
WOlgast prize fight at San Francisco of
enough interest to defy the snow. and it
was late before the assemblages dwin-
died.
At the clubs yesterday there was the
usual holiday spirit. Informal programs
were given at some, and at others only
the spirit Of conyiviality that comes with
recesses from business cares marked the
gatherings.
Patriotic organizations did not allow the
day to pass unObsarved, and there were
many social attractions.
