REJECTION BY SENATE
BARS RECESS PLACES
President Not to Reappoint Men
Who Failed of Confirmation.
Selection in Place of Bland.

President Wilson has determined that
he will not give recess appointments
| TO persons whose nominations We're re
jected by the Senate. Persons whose
! nominations were unacted upon will
get recess appointments.
William A. Shelton has been selected
by the President for United States Mar
shall for the western district of Missouri
| in place of Ewing {. Bland whose nomi-
nation the Senate rejected The selec-
tion of Shelton is in accordance with the
Presidents decision. Several other posi-
| tions in the same class are expected to be
| filed within the next few days,
| The rejected nominations include
| those over which there were long dis
putes in the Senate and which caused
| reports to go out of serious differences
between the President and senator's
Some of Those Rejected.
The prominent cases of rejection by
the Senate were:
John ID. Lynn. United states attorney
for the western district of New York,
W. n. Collins, postmaster at Kansas
City. Mo.
Mrs. Marjorie J. Bloom, postmaster
at Devils Lake. y. y.
Ewing c. Bland. United States mar
Shal for the western district OF MIS-
sour.
~ II. Ruie. postmaster at Ennis. Tex
George HAMPTON. collector of internal
revenue for the first district OF New
Jersey.
The President has written n letter
to at least one of these appointees say
ing that while he might have the legal
right to give recess appointments TO
men whose nominations have been re-
jected by the Senate he does not think
that such action would be in accord
with the spirit of the law.
Prevented Their Confirmation.
Senator Reed of Missouri prevented
the confirmation of Mr.. Collins as post
master at Kansas City and of Mr..
Bland as United States marshal, Sena-
tor OGorman opposed Mr. Lynn and
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey, Mr..
Hampton.
Since the adjournment of Congress
Mr Bland has been displaced by the
action of the federal district judge in
the western district of Missouri in re-
fusing to recognize his status and tenn
porarily naming II. c. Miller. In New
York the district judge has named Mr..
Lynn temporarily.

NATIONS DUTY, He SAYS,
TO SUPPORT CAPITAL
Former Senator Blackburn for Com.
plete Dissolution of D. c.
Partnership.

complete dissolution of the part
nership under which the District of
Columbia and the federal government
now contribute TO build up the Ma
tional Capital was advocated today by
former Senator Joseph c. Blackburn
of Kentucky. author of the organic
act Of the District and at present res
ident commissioner for the Lincoln
memorial.
The people of the entire country
should take over the charge of main
tenance of the capital. said Senator
Blackburn. 1T is undignified for a
great country such as the United
States to maintain a partnership with
a group of citizens looking to the de
vefopment of its capital city. The
federal government already has con
troll of management of the capital and
individual taxpayers should not he
permitted to contribute to the ex-
penses Of the District
II do not mean that the people who
own property in the District of Colum =
bia should not pay taxes on their prop
ertv Congress can enact Il law placing
a fair tax On property here, and the
tax can be collected and turned into
the federal Treasury. Under no cir
culnstances should this identical money
be expended for the upkeep of the
District however

Not Fair to District People.

1T is no, fair. in my opinion, to com
pei the people who live in the District
OF Columbia TO pay any share Of the
unusual and necessarily extravagant
cxpeuditures which are made for the
upkeep and development of the capital
of the nation. These expenditures
should he borne by the people of the
nation at large"
Senator Blackburn! said that he CON
sidered the fight in Congress over the
half and half plan 'haggling over pen
MES He said that the organic act, in
Guiding the half -andhalf plan. had
worked well in the thirty-six years it has
been in operation.
AT the time the law was enacted"
said Senator Blackburn. II thought II
was only approximately fair to the people
OF the District. ! thought that it was
more than fair to the federal government.
Under the changed conditions, due to the
! large amount of land which the federal
government has since taken by purchase
| or condemnation, thus with,ira wing ii
| from taxation. | think that the federal
| government now has considerably the best
| OF the bargain.
| Opposes Return to Old Conditions.
| Senator Blackburn expressed the
| opinion that the joint select committee
| appointed TO investigate and report to
| Congress on the fiscal relations of the
| District and the federal government
| would undoubtedly recommend plan
1 which would be beneficial
| He spoke strongly against any sug
| gestion OF return to the old condi-
| tions existing in the District before
| the enactment of the organic act, when
| Congress appropriated no fixed proper
| tion of the annual expenditures of the
| District from the federal Treasury. bu,
one year contributed from the fedora
| Treasury perhaps IS per cent of the
| total and the next year so per cent
| Under such a system. he said, property
| values in the District could never be
: stable.

Mind Our Business

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. s.-Pres-
blent Wilson today defended the
policies Of his administration before
large crowd of people which filled
lomlinson hall here The presidents
address was preceded by the singing
&c I'VE Take Oor Hats OF to You.
Mr.. Wilson. "
The president began his speech by
declaring that he believed the peo-
nle of the country should keep their
minds on their own affairs rather
han much on Europe,
The president said he admired An
drew Jackson for his fighting abili-
lies. He said the trouble with the
republican party was that it has
noI had new idea for thirty years .
Every time the country really
wants something new, T. returns the
democratic party to power. Most
advice taken by the republican party
comes from the grandfathers.
Il am tired of sta, ing in Wash
ington, saying sweet things. / am
glad to be out among yon where !
can say what | feel.
This country is now guided by
the Independent voter. Only about
rne-third of the republican party is
progressive, and about two thirds of
the democratic party are progressive.
Therefore, the democratic party is
more progressive than the republic
can party"
The president called himself an
s11iimated cousrrvative.-'' He de-
clared, amidst applause, that the
democratic party was carrying out
the progressive aspirations of the ma
lion. Praising the federal reserve
vet, he said that this was the first
time in years when January lst had
not brought financial stringency to
business men.
The democratic panty is still on
trial. We have not finished our
work. We are going ahead. If any
man or set Of men should try to
break up the solidity, Of the demo
cratic party, they would gain an un-
enviable position for themselves.
The party must and will stand to-
gether. -
