NAMING OF COLLINS RE-
JECTED IN SENATE.

Refusal to Accept Presidents Choice
for X. C. Postmaster Determined
|. in 30 Seconds. W
Washington, D. c., Dec. 18 IT
took the Senate just 80 seconds today
to reject the nomination of w. N.
Collins for Postmaster Of Kansas City.
The action is said to set a time record
in turning down the appointment Of a
President.
Collins was appointed in recess by
President Wilson and will retain his
office at the will Of the executive. It
is understood that the President is de-
termined not to remove Collins, and
probably will give him another recess
appointment at the end Of the present
session of Congress.
The rejection of Collins was fore
Swallowed by the recent refusal Of the
Senate to confirm the appointment of
John D. Lynn for United States Dis
trict Attorney for the Western Dis
trict of New York.
Senator O'Gorman of New York
protested against the confirmation Of
Lynn on the ground that the appoint
ment had been made without his adj
vice or consent. Senator Reed of
Missouri raised like, objection
against Collins.
In both cases the verdict of the
Senate against confirmation was
unanimous. That is, no ayes were
heard on viva voce vote. Roll calls
were not demanded in either in
stance.
Collins name was sent to the Sem
ate from the White House early in
the afternoon. Just two hours later
it was referred, in executive session,
to the Committee on Post Roads and
Post Offices, of which Senator Bank
heod of Alabama is chairman.
The committee at once returned an
report. Then the vote
followed. There were no speeches.
1t had been generally understood be- 4
fore that Senator Reed resented the
naming of Collins in place of r. +. n
O'Malley.
Members of the Senate individually
had been informed that o 'Malley was
the choice of the Democratic organi-
zation of Kansas City and had been
slated for Postmaster until Senator
Reed incurred the enmity ofthe White
House and members of the Cabinet
by opposing administration measures
and the confirmation of Thomas D.
Jones, the Presidents friend, for the
Federal Reserve Board.
1t was predicted today that the Sen
tie on Monday will reject the ap.
continent of Judge Ewing G. Bland, I
ION of "Silver Dick" Bland, for Unit
ID States Marshal at Kansas City.
1t is now definitely known that :
senator Reed will make the same OBJ
ection to Bland that he did to Col
ms. 1t is believed, however, that
senator Reed will not seek to block
he confirmation of Col. E. M. Har-
yer for Collector of internal Revenue ,
n the Kanses City district. ,
