Ico CITY

Washington, Dec. 26. American
Consul sillinan at Mexico City re-
ported today that General PaIafox,
minister of agriculture in the cabinet
Of Provisional President Gutierrez,
had issued a statement charging that
he, (SilIiman) Special Agent Canova
and others had accepted prize Of
5000 pesos to effect the release Of
Former Governor Iturbide.
ralafox, an adherent of Zapata, Is
said to have been eager to see Iturbide
held. The latter was commander OF
the federal district during the brief
administration of Provisional Presi-
dent Carbajal, but remained after his
colleagues had fled, and took an active
part in keeping order after the Car
rama forces withdrew and the Zapata
forces entered.
Secretary Bryan, admiring Iturbides
personal courage, in preferring to
maintain order in the city rather thar
make his own escape, took a PERSONS
interest in the case and identica
lrepresentsz sz3ons were made to bats
Gutierrez and villa to obtain his re
lease. Iturbide is on the way to the
United states, but reports from Mex
leo city say Palafox announced his
intention of arresting him If he were
caught en- route to Ell Paso. Mr.. sill
liman In his report dismissed the
story of Iturbide as absurd

OF December "a strong German at

northeast Of Zoupir. In the region

German counter attacks were repuis-

Rumania May Get In
The only obstacle to Rumania join
ing the forces of the triple entente,
according to the Figaro. was the lack
of guarantees from Bulgaria regarding
that country's neutrality. The Figaro
learns from a good source, it says to-
day, that these guarantees have now
been obtained as result of the joint
action Of the triple entente powers at
Sofia, with the further understanding
that in the event Of Bulgaria deciding
to intervene in the war it would be
against the enemies of the entente.

LINTHICUM'S NAME
CONFIRMED BY SENATE
City Alderman Finally Lands Post
mastership Plum.
END OF A LONG FIGHT.
Independent Candidates Sought Office
While Organization FsvCriles Were
Under Fire.

Mr.. Thomas ] Linthicum has been
appointed postmaster of Annapolis,
to succeed Mr.. Daniel r. Randall,
the Republican incumbent, whose
term expired practically with the
change in the administration at
Washington.
After several m)nths of wraug-
ling, during which charges and
counter charges We're preferred
against one or the other candidates,
who had been recommended for the
appointment, the name of Mr. Lin
thicum, which was sent TO the Senate
before President Wilson went to
Pass Christia !, Miss, to spend the
Christmas holidays, was confirmed by
that body yesterday afternoon. The
confirmation was at the instance of
Senator John Walter Smith.
The appointment of Mr.. Linthicum
Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1914-01-13

brings to a close a long contest, in
which no little bitter fee ling was en-
rendered between Federal officials at
Washington and the local Demo cratic
leaders. Congressman Frank O..
Smith, OF thia district, had promised
to recommed the man who had the in
dorst ent of DE-. George Wells, the To-
cal Democratic leader. AS far as
possible il was the policy OF the
postoffice officials at Washington to
follow the recommendation OF the
Congressman. in making the postdffict
appointments in all states.
Former State Senator Joseph H..
Bells was the first active candidate
in the field for the position. Mr.. Bel
lis promptly received the Endorsement
of DR.. Wells and the county organi-
cation, and Ills name was recommend
ed by Congre ssman Smith. Mean
time, Mr.. Bells, who was follower
Senator from this county, resigned
that berth, feeling sure, it is said,
there would be no trouble in making
the postmastership. But there fol-
lowed many protests against Mr..
BELLS for postmaster, and various
charges were lodged against him, q
number of women also interesting
themselves in the matter.
The result was that the FEEDER Al
officials sent postoffice inspectors to
Annapolis to investigate these
charges. Postmaster-General Burle-
son was not inclined to recommend
Mr.. Bells. After much delay, dur.
ing which Mr.. Bellis's name was
withheld, the former senator finally
withdrew from the race. A second
choice was asked for, and Mr.. Johr
r. Sullivan was recommended. Mr..
Sullivan was not regarded as an &C.
ceptable candidate by the Washington
officials, ard his name was soon was
soon eliminated from the fight. Their
Mr.. Linthicum was recommended
Certain charges also were preferred
against him, but they fell through
and for the last few weeks Mr.. Lin
thicum's appointment had been re
garded as a certainty.
While all this was going on Their,
were at leasG two men who contin
ued an active independent fight fol
the postoffice. These were Messrs
Grafton d. Ridout and William H
Rullman. Neither of them was en-
dorsed by the organization, how
ever, although each was supported
by a number Of citizens, either
through petition or personal letters
sent TO Washington.
Mr.. Linthicum is at present Al
derman in the City Council tron
the First ward. He also holds ths
position of manager of the freight
department of the Washington, Bal
iimore and Annapolis Electric Rail
ways. In accepting the postmaster
chip, Mr.. Linthicum will be compeIl
ed to resign his Alderman seat, AMI
