DEMOCRATS WORRY
| OVER ALLAN'S TERM
Doubt Whether Postmaster's
Commission Expires in De-
cember or February.

Having come to the conclusion that
postmaster Edgar Allan, Jr, will BIO
permitted by President Wilson to
serve out his term. politicians are now
wrestling with the knotty problem as
TO when Mr.. Allan's term expires An
anomalous situation has arisen in this
regard because OF the fact that Mr.
Allan served several months after his
appointments by President Taft before
MS nomination was Officially confirmed
by the Senate T..
Following the announcement OF his
policy toward faithful and efficient Re
publican ofiiccholders made shortly
after his Inauguration, President VIII
son has not removed single Federal
oihcer OF high grade In this district
since March L.
The United States marshal, collie ctor
or internal revenue postmaster, dis
trict attorney and other Federal on
GERS, all Republicans in party ahilia-
ton. are being allowed to complete
the term of office TO whic they wcra
appointed by President Wilson's pre-
decessor. In every instance save that
OF the postmaster OF Richmond tho
tenure OF Office by the incumbents is
well defined. and all arc prepared to
step down into private life when the
date on thciy commissions shall b.
reached on the calendar.
In the case OF Mr.. Allan. however.
II is different. He was appointed post
master OF Richmond BY President TAFT
on December 10. 1903. during tho
Christmas recess OF Congress- His
nomination WAS not confirmed until
February s. The question now haras-
sing the Democrats Is: Does his four
year commission legally date from De-
cember l6 or February S? 1t lis gem
orally believed in the Federal Build
ing that December 10. 1913. Will be re-
Sarded by President Wilson az the da;e
of stne expiration OF Mr. Allan's term.
The best sources OF Information long
ago led TO the belief that Hay r.
Thornton. Democrat, superintendent
OF Station 4. VIII be appointed By the
President TO succeed Mr.. Allan.

TYLER IS ENTITLED
TO SEAT ON BOARD
City Attorney So Rules in Reply
to Letter From Charles
F. Taylor.

Difficulties dating back to tho last
annual meeting of the Board or Fire
commissioners. which failed to re-
eject Charles i. Taylor as president or
the board. choosing instead l. Z. Jen-
kins. OF Lee Ward, are credited with
having alienated the affections or Cap
tain Taylor to such an extent that
there has been n marked lack OF cor
diality between him and fellow mem
bers OF the board VINO voted against
his recollection.
Captain Tay lor has recently applied
TO the City Attorney for a ruling on
the legality of tho seat held on the
board by Stanley j. Tyler. OF Clay
Ward. Mr.. Tyler was elected from old
Henry Ward. which was merged under
the redistricting with the present Clay
Ward. On September /. he moved out
of what were formerly the confines or
Henry Ward, still remaining, however.
in Clay Ward.
Affirmed by Pollard.
The fact OF Mr.. Tylera removal was
brought to the attention OF the CITY
Attorney by Captain Taylor. who asked
IL he had not by that act invalidatcd
his right TO membership on the board
The City Attorney wrote TO Elr. Tyler
Thursday apprisirg him of the action,
and Informing him that he was legally
entitled to his seat.
Il can account for Captain Tayior's
activity in this matter only on the
hypothesis tina. he was actuated by my
voting against him when he WAS up
for election u the presidency OF the
Fire Board" said Mr.. Tyler yesterday,
discussing the matter. Il know or no
other reason why Captain Taylor
should have taken this step"
Declined Committee Work.
The friction between Captain Taylor
and the present Fire Board regime was
further emphasize ed at tha meeting held
August 4. when the former declined
to serve on q committee named by
President Jenkins to consider the in
staliation OF n heating plant in one or
the truck company houses. Captain
Taylor explained that he thought the
board was small enough TO consider
m;/ters OF this nature in body.
President jenkins appointed another
member in his place.
Captain Taylor. according TO the
testimony OF officers liz the city's en-
ploy, has taken no pains TO conceal his
aversion for the members who voted
against his reelection TO the presi
dcncy of the Fire Board. He was re-
Gently reelected ut a Joint session OF
the Council to serve another term OF
six years.

ing that the body of man had been
