ROBERT 0. BAILEY
SUCCEEDS HILLES
MacVeagh's Secretary Given
Merited Promotion.

Robert o. Bailey will retire as private
secretary to Secretary MacVeagh, and be-
come an Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury in a few days. His nomination was
transmitted to the Senate yesterday by
President Taft.
1t has been known for some time that
important changes in the Treasury De-
partment meant the promotion of Mr.
Bailey. He will assume the position
vacated by Charles d. Hilles, who Is
announced as the new secretary to Presi-
dent Taft. Having been the right hand
man of Secretary MacVeagh ever since
the latter's selection as a Cabinet officer,
and having won laurels for himself In
that position. it was natural that Mr..
Bailey should be selected for the i'm
portant financial place.
Prior TO becoming secretary to Secre-
tary MacVeagh, Mr.. Bailey served long
and capably as a newspaper correspond
ent. He was regularly assigned at the
White House as the representative of
a press association when President Taft
assumed office. On the Presidents rec
ommendation he was chosen as Mr.. Mac
Veagh's assistant. Secretary MacVeagh
in turn recommended Mr.. Bailey for the
Assistant Secretaryship when it became
known that Mr.. Hilles was to leave.
Mr.. Bailey is graduate Of one of the
law schools of Washington.

BY vote of Isl to 146. the House yes
teriay agreed to the conference report on
the legislative, executive, and judicial ap-
preparation bill. The only debate in the
House on the report was in connection
with the agreement of the conferees to
fix the salary of the secretary to the
President at $500 a year. This position
now pays $500, and a Senate amend
ment proposed an increase to $4,000.
Representative Cooper, Of Wisconsin,
expressed the opinion that 1t was a good
deal more important to increase the COM
pensation of underpaid government en-
ployes than to make such strenuous
EFFORT to elevate the salary of the Presi-
dents secretary, who already received at
least enough to pay for the necessities of
life. He thought it a disgrace that any
such salary as $50 month, which is
paid to watchmen and other employees Of
this class, should be found upon the gov
ernment pay roll.
Representative Mann, Of Illinois. de-
clared he was in favor of increasing the
salary of the Presidents secretary to
$4,000 or $4,000 year, but was against
the proposition of the conferees. He
thought the Presidents secretary should

Roanoke, Va, Feb Z7.-The greatest
excitement prevails here among the pa
irons of the Roanoke College. as well as
among Confederate veterans, owing to
the introduction of a history of the
United States which carries paragraphs
relating to the debasement of negro
women in slave days by their masters,
as we'll as to paragraphs said to vilify
Robert E. Lee. The history is entitled
"A History of the United States" by H.
W. Elson. EIson is declared to have been
former Kansas classmate of Prof H
]. Thorstenburg, who is professor of his
tory at the college.
Many prominent men of the State have
children at the college Judge Mofitt. of
Salem. Va, directed the attention of the
president of the college TO the para
graphs. He was referred to the profess
sor of history, Thorstenburg, and the
correspondence was unsatisfactory.
Immediately he is said to have in
structed his daughter not to attend the
history classes. Other parents. it is said,
will take similar action, though the rules
of the college are that any student re-
fusing to attend a class may be expelled
from the college.

ings. the placing of important stat
uary and memorials, the treatment of
parks, and the necessary acquisition

future parkways shall be acquired and
treated;

serves in the Appalachians;
Resolved, That the Chamber of
Commerce empowers this committee to
obtain the assistance of commercial
bodies throughout the United States

for this plan for the future develop
