 BEHIND HIS APPOINTMENTS,
If Anti ti-Administration Democrats Are Looking for Fight, They Win Get It.

Washington, Dec 16.-If anti-admin- istration democratic senators whose candidates for federal appointments have not been named by President Wilson want a fight. they will get it from the president, according to a statement made today at the White House. It was said definitely that the president will stand behind the ap- poiTftmentS he has made in New York, Missouri and New Jersey, against which Senators O'Gorman, Reed and Maritime have protested.
 In addition to refusing to withdraw the rejected nomination of John D. Lynn as United States attorney for the western district of New York, the president intends to give MT. Lynn another recess appointment after March 5. when his present recess ap- pointment expires automatically.

GOLD STORAGE BILL BEFORE
 HOUSE COMMERCE COMMITTEE
Discussion on Limit of Time EdihIes
 Can Be Kept Wholesome.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Christnaas dinner was under the microscope today before the house commerce committee in hearings on the Mcclellan bill to lirait the length of time food products may be kept in cold storage. 4 dele- gation representing cold storage inter ests discussed the measure. Dr. H. D. Pease, director of the department of bacteriology at the Lederle laboratory in New York, examined as to how long turkey could be kept in cold storage and be fit for food, said cold storage turkey was safe if inspected by goF- ernment inspectors before and after being placed in the cold storage vaults. He thought. however, that 9 limit on time food products can be stored shouldbe placed on all products not frozen solid for keeping.
 Dr. William J. Gies, professor of Meteorological chemistry at Columbia university, described a series of ex- perimerts with cold storage fish and told of eatine founder which had been frozen and kept for two years. He said fish did not deteriorate if properly frozen and stored.
 Charles F. Droste of New York told the committee 1t was impossible tC keep butter and eggs in cold storage for more than nine months. At the expiration of that length of time, he said, it became unproftable to hold cold storage eggs because fresh eggs coming in depressed the price below what would allow reasonable profit on the storage product.
 The delegation will continue it's dis cussion of the bill tomorrow.
