Maryland Representatives Confer
With President on internal
Revenue Collectorship.

President Wilson may be in Washing
ton January 1, after all. but there is no
likelihood that he will hold a New Year
reception The recent official announce
ment that the President would enjoy
some vacation during the coming holt
days also meant that the White House
would abandon the New Year receptions,
no matter where the President might be,
according to information.
The President told some of his callers
today that he would be in Washington
January II Congress remains in ses-
sion through the holidays He feels 1t
to be his duty to remain at his post II
Congress does so.
He has persisted in the view that he
ought not to ask Congress to so forward
with important work while he takes a
rest He is not averse TO some recrea-
ton himself. but SO far as he is con-
cerned Congress must lead the way in
vacations. The indications that Congress
will be fighting over currency when the
New Year arrives determines Mr.. Wilson
to stick TO his offices and to work as
hard as do any of the congressman.
T." New Year reception. however. is

brutalities. The President had num-
Der Of appointments today. and confer
red with callers on many subjects.
Secretary Tumulty was missing from
his desk, and II was learned that an
operation for appendicitis upon his wife
in Providence Hospital was the cause
of the absence. The few friends of the
secretary who learned Of the operation
were deeply grieved, and expressed the
earnest hope that the outcome would be
successful.
Mrs. Tumulty is much beloved by the
friends she has made since she came to
washington. She participates little in
social affairS-iS not inclined that way
preferring. 1T is said. to give her time to
her husband and children She prefers
personal supervision over her children to
the more modern method of leaving them
In the hands of servants MIR. Tumulty's
inclinations are strongly toward giving
much of his time to his home. and he
too, mingles little in social affairs.
Present the Claims of Maryland.
Representatives Linthicum and Cody of
Maryland called on the President to add
to the pleas of other Marylanders that a
Maryland man be named as collector of
internal revenue for the district composed
OF Maryland, Delaware and the District
Of Columbia. The visitors presented to
the President a letter from Gov. Colds
borough. republican, asserting that the
business of the district warranted the
naming of a Maryland man only. Gov.
~Goldsborough was collector of the district
when nominated for governor by the re-
publicans and he has a personal knowl-
edge Of the work of the office.
The Impression has prevailed for
some time that the President would
give the place to a Delaware man, but

lieved he has not decided the matter.

has the unanimous backing of the
democrats of the state.
