The compensation is payable by the

the regular salary, not to exceed $40

The act provides for an administra-
ton board Of three members to be
appointed by the governor and TO re-
ceive salaries of $4,000 each. II also
provides for the appointment of a
secretary TO receive salary of 81 800.

stipulates that not to exceed $500 is

The amount is fixed at 500 in Cali

You said if The Tribune lied, it was

DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT
FOR ALL THE SPOILS
Will Wrest Control of Patronage From
Penrose and 0liver--Senate Com
mittee to List Available Jobs.

Washington, Dec. l3.-Tf some of the
| Democratic senators have their way, not
only win appointments from states
which are Democratic be prevented OF
confirmation but they will be blocked
even from Republican states.
| The Senate Democrats held con-
ference yesterday on the patronage and
confirmation question, and the opinion
was advanced there that it was case
of ito the victor belong the spoils."
Especially in the case of Pennsylvania
was this opinion advanced. Senator
Martin of New Jersey made pic
turesque speech which would have
evoked loud cheers from the gallery if
there had been any gallery. 1t was to
the effect that Senators Penrose and
Oliver ought not to be allowed to con-
troll the patronage of Pennsylvania, that
the Democrats of that state needed
help and encouragement, and that APP
pointments from that state ought to
be blocked.
The conference came to no decision
on a programme of holding up appoint
ments, but this has been pretty well
settled in the opinion of most of the
Democrats. Broadly, the army, navy,
and diplomatic appointments will be
held up except in some cases where
there are two Republican senators from
state.
On motion of Senator Hoke Smith,
Leader Martin was directed to name a
committee of five. with Mr.. Martin as
chairman. to inquire into the question
OF the available patronage and to con-
fer with the Republican senators about
a programme of blocking combinations
which the Republicans will yield to
without a prolonged and ineessant fight. /
