WAsHiNGToN, May LIN the list Of
nominations sent tn the Senate to-day
was that Of Charles " Duffy of Pater-
son to be Internal Revenue Collector for
the district of New Jersey. Duffy was
indorscd by Senator William Hughes.
Senator MARITIME had candidate, and
there have been disquieting rumors from
the New Jersey delegation that Secretary
Tumulty was taking a hand and Sccre-
tary Garrison making suggestions
Senator Hughes has been very earnest
in support of his candidate. all the more
so since he was overreached in the mat
ter OF the nomination OF the Federal
Judge for the district of New Jersey. At
one time 1t appeared there was a serious
clash between Senator Hughes and Sec
rotary Tumulty and that Senator Hughes
had suggested to the President that some
OF the New Jersey politicians aud Mr..
Tumulty were cooperating to bring about
his (Senator Hughes's) political undoing
The nomination OF Duffy, 1t is expected,
will prevent the threatened break in the
relations between the White House and
Senator Hughes, and IL is supposed to
carry a measure OF discipline to Senator
MARITIME. who has come out against the
repeal OF the tolls exemption law and
has criticised the President in the Sem

UNDER WOOD SOOTHES
RURALCREDIT REBELS
Filibustcr Blown Up by Promise
Of Time TO Consider
the Bill.
BREACH NOT YET FILLED
House Leader at Odds With
Glass and Henry Over Will
son Programme.
BREACH NOT YET FILLED

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE filibuster
engineered by radical Democrats of the
House blew up to-day when assurances
were given by Leader Underwood that
time would be allowed for the considera-
ton Of the rural credit bill. Whether
Mr.. Underwood will be able to fulfil his
promise remains to be seen.
The rural credit bill was taken OF
the Administration legislative programme
because President Wilson objected to the
provision extending Government aid to
the land association banks. Members OF
the subcommittee who prepared the
pending bill say they intend to stand pat
on the measure Just as II stands. They
say that a majority of the full Committee
on Banking and Currency Is In sympa thy
with them.
The controversy over the provision lend
ing Government credit to the land associa
ton banks seems to be irreconcilable. It
Is a fundamental Issue upon which the
President has given notice that he can
no, yield. In opposing the bill the Presl-
dent has the support of such leaders as
Representative Glass of Virginia, chair
man of the Banking and Currency Com
mittee. Mr.. Glass IL hostile to rural
credit legislation at this time.
While Mr. Underwood has persuaded
the insurgents to be good for the pres
ent, differences have developed between
him and Mr. Glass. Chairman Glass il
understood to have taken umbrage at
the statement made in the House yester-
day IN which Mr.. Underwood said he ia
yored rural credit legislation.
As the rural credit bill was kept out of
the legislative programme adopted Tues
day night Mr.. Glass had taken 1t for
granted that 1t would not have considera-
ton at this time. The Banking chair
man is said to he hot under the collar
over Mr. Underwood's alleged inconsistent
attitude.
There is at present an utter lack of
team work among the House leaders.
Mr.. Underwood and Mr.. Glass are work
ing at cross purposes over rural credits,
while Representative Henry. the Rules
chairman. is making plans regardless of
Mr.. Underwood Mr.. Henry announced
to-day that in due season a caucus would
be held on the rural credit hill and on
bill he introduced proposing Govern
ment supervision over the operations OF
stock exchanges.
I'VE will pass the rural credit bill
after the trust programme IL out of the
way and then put the stock exchange
bill through" said Mr. Henry.
Mr.. Underwood seemed to be surprised
when he heard about Mr.. Henrys an
nouncement concerning caucus lie
made no comment, but intmated that
there would be no caucus. either on rural
credits or stock exchange legislation.
Despite Mr.. Henry's optimism over the
stock exchange bill tho leaders have no
intention OF permitting such "A measure
to be passed at this session. They may
have 10 compromise on rural credit, but
there will be no further additions to the
legislative programme.

Harry =. Nichols engineer In charge of
the Board of Estimates division of fran
chises, advised deferring action on the pc
titions until October 80. In order that the
New Haven road, owner OF the Fort ches-
ter road, which In turn controlled the
Westchester company, might give more
definite information as to It's Intentions.
But hearing was held on september 20
and no one appeared to say mat the pcti-
tions should not he granted.
In November a special committee con-
slsting of Comptroller Metz, President Nc
Gowan, President Ahearn of Manhattan,
President Haffen of The Bronx and the
chief engineer of the board, recommended
that the petitions be granted. The Board
of Estimate then unanimously adopted the
resolution and Mayor Mcclellan APP
proved IL on December l, 1908.
The next important step In the negotia
tions with the city from Mr. Mellen's point
of view, was tho unanimous acceptance
nv the Board Of Estimate OF supple
mentary agreement with the Westminster
road providing among other things that
the streets crossed by the Throgg's Neck
branch could be carried under the tracks
without material change OF street grades.
The stated reason for the roads request
for this agreement was that the grades
on the contract maps differed from the
grades on the official maps OF Bronx Dor
ough The agreement was accepted by
the Board OF Estimate-again unan-
imous!y--and approved by Mayor McCiel-
Ian on February 5. 1903.
