they will ask for recognition in the par

Forty Offices filled by Presidential ap-
pointment were held by colored Repub-
licans under the Taft administration.
the number are an assistant to

who called on Secretary Tumulty at the
White House yesterday, declared that
each of these offices should be filled by
a colored Democrat.
They told Tumulty that the first posi-
tions for which they would make a fight
is that of William II. Lewis. who yes

Senate Committee
IS READY To REPORT
Caucus will Be Called to Ratify the
Selection Of New Chair
SIMMONS TO HOLD FINANCE

Senator F. NJ Simmons of North Caro-
lima will probably continue at the head
of the Committee on Finance and direct
the work of shaping tariff legisla ton. 30
far as the Senate Is concerned. The Pro-
gressive influence, so-called. among the
Democratic majority Is likely to make
itself felt in the makeup of the mem-
bership of the majority. A motion was
made in the secret meeting Of the Com
mittee on Committees yesterday morning
to make Senator William J. Stone OF Mis-
souri, chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, and assign Senator Simmons to the
Craftsmanship of the new committee on
banking. But, after some discussion, this
proposal was rejected. as We're several
other plans looking to breaking away
from the seniority rule.
II was stated yesterday by Democratic
Senators that more progress had been
made by the committee in its work or
assigning Democratic Senators to COM
mittees than in all the time the COM
mittee has been at work heretofore. So
satisfactory was the progress made that
arrangements were made calling a caucus
to-day to ratify the committee selections
made by the majority.
1t was learned yesterday that a pro-
test was uttered in the Democratic Com
mittee on Committees by some of the
members against the manifest DISPOSE
ton of the members of the committee
who were making assignments TO confer
on themselves desirable chairmanshirs.
The protestants against this programme
pointed out that the committee might
find its work rejected by the Senate
caucus. -t
II is now definitely determined that the
new Committee on Banking will be ere
ated, but the name of the chairman is
still undetermined. II will probably be
Senator Stone or Senator Bacon. al
though it may be Senator Hoke Smith.
Senator O'Gorman probably will be as
signed to a place on the majority of the
Senate Committee on Finance. He is now
a member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and may relinquisn that place to
take the place on Finance.
Among the other Democratic Senators
who are likely TO be given assignments
to the new Finance Committee are Gore
of Oklahoma, Shively OF Indiana, Hoke
Smith of Georgia, and Ollie James OF
Kentucky.

GARRISON AGAINST
FILIPINO FREEDOM
Secretary Of War Is Not an Ardent
Advocate Of Independence
at This Time.
THE PORTO RIcAN POLICY

Secretary Garrison yesterday discussed
with President Wilson the question OF
what is to be the administration policy
toward the Philippines. Secretary Garri-
son declared, with emphasis, that the
matter of independence was not under
discussion, but only questions relating to
the present government of the Islands
Matters Of personnel were not touched
upon in the conference.
Whatever the policy of the new Con-
gress may be with regard to the Philip
pines. 1t is quite apparent that Secretary
of War Garrison is not an ardent advo-
cate OF immediate independence for the
islands. He declared yesterday that his
view of the Democratic position on the
Philippines is that they are to be freed
only. when they are ready for independ-
ence and when they can be given abso-
lutte self-government in a proper way.
He gave no indication that he believes
the proper time has yet arrived for max
ing the Philippines independent.
Another policy of the Taft administra-
ton was reaffirmed when the Secretary
announced that ii was the wish of Presi-
dent Wilson that the Porto Ricans have
home rule" as far as possible with re-
spect to local Offices. such as postmas-
terships. This has been the consistent
policy of Republican administrations
ever since the civil government of Porto
Rico was organized. 1t was the policy
of the Taft administration to extend the
principle of local self-government just as
far as consistent with efficiency. and
the number of Offices to be filed by
Americans from the States has been an
nually reduced.

HOPE FOR BROTHER JOE"
He May he Made Postmaster at
Nashville, Tenn.

Friends of Joseph r. Wilson. OF
Nashville Tenn. the President S
brother. have not despaired Of securing
a Federal job for him, despite the fact
that he received only nine votes for
Secretary of the Senate in the Demo-
cratic caucus last week. The plan now
is to have him appointed postmaster
at Nashville. where his salary would
be $500 a year.
Senator Luke Lea OF Tennessee. who
had charge of Wilson's candidacy for
Secretary of the Senate, yesterday
called upon the President to find out
how he would receive the suggestion
that he appoint his brother to this
position. The President. through Secre-
tary of War Garrison, refusing to ap-
point his cousin. Albert Z. Wilson, of
Washington, to the Philippine Commits
sion. announced that he would not ap-
point a relative to a Federal job.
Senator Lea is perfectly willing to
give the job to Wilson and the Presi-
dents consent is all that is needed in
order that the matter be settled.
