AIMS To SETTLE
PATRONAGE FIGHT
President Makes First Ap.
pointments to Federal
Places in Nebraska.
DIVIDED EVENLY BETWEEN
BRYAN AND HITCHCOCK
Collectors Of Customs and Internal
Revenue, q. s. Marshal and q. s.
Attorney Named for That State.

President Wilson today sought to set
tie the long standing Nebraska patron
age row between W. ]. Bryan and
Senator Hitchcock by making the first
appointments to important federal posi-
tons in that state. He announced the
following:
braska, Charles w. McCune of Omaha;
collector of internal revenue. George
l. Loomis of Fremont; United States
marshal. Thomas ]. Flynn of Omaha.
and United States attorney, Thomas S.
Allen OF LiHcoln.
No statement regarding the appoint
ments could be obtained at the White
House, but 1t is understood that the
patronage is split evenly between the
two democratic statesmen. MIR. Nc
Cune is a follower of Senator Hitch
cock: Mr.. Loomis Is a Bryan man; Mr..
Flynn is for Hitchcock and Mr.. Allen
Is brother-in-law Of Mr.. Bryan.
Doubt Over Any Agreement.
There was serious doubt among well
posted Nebraskans today whether the
appointments represent an agreement
between Mr.. Bryan and Senator Hitch
cock, as the latter is known to have
strong objections to Thomas s. Allen
the brother-in-law of the former Sec
rotary Of State and may oppose his nomi-
nation in the Senate. On the other
hand, it is suggested that as the Presi-
dent wishes to bring about harmony in
Nebraska he may have succeeded In
obtaining an understanding that all OF
the appointments would be confirmed
when sent to the Senate.
If Senator Hitchcock should confirm
his own friends and stand out against
Mr.. Bryan's friends. the political diff
culties in Nebraska would be about as
great as before.
Mr.. Hitchcock's opposition to Mr.. AL
len is declared to have been that the
Lincoln lawyer has always opposed MIR.
Hitchcock and said harsh things against
him on all possible occasions.
Republicans Held on for Some Time.
The Wilson administration has been in
office nearly two and a half years and
the federal positions filled today are the
first important ones that democrats have
had a chance to look in on. Mr.. Bryan
and Senator Hitchcock have been at log
gerheads during all the time and the
President hesitated to widen the breach
between them and their friends in Ne
braska by making appointments.
Republicans have continued to hold
the fat Jobs and enjoy the democratic
row. cnoulu some OF tooays preolc-
tions prove true the row Ia by nc
means settled.
1t was also suggested today that as
Mr.. Bryan Is no longer connected with
the administration the President feels
bound to give some sort of recogni-
ton to Senator Hitchcock. who was
one of the principal stumbling blocks
in the last session of Congress to
democratic legislation.
The President signed the commissions

REGARDING MEXICO
State Department Makes An
nouncement, But Plan Is
Not Disclosed.
PERIOD FOR INSTITUTING
PEACE is NEARING END
Roth President Wilson and Secre.
tary Lansing Leave for North, But
Will Watch Situation Closely.

The administration intends to
move in the Mexican situation
within the next few weeks. A
positive statement to this effect
was made today at the State De-
partment. Just what course will
be adopted, however, was not dis
closed.
Although President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing of the State
Department both plan to leave
Washington this afternoon for
brief visits in the north, they will
keep in close touch with Mexican
affairs. Secretary Lansing will
return to Washington again Mon
day, and the President several
days later, it is understood.
Almost two months ago the President
warned the leaders Of the various fac
tions In Mexico that, they must arrange
peace and provide for an orderly gov
eminent within reasonable time or
the United states would have to adopt
some policy which would bring about
such results. The belief is growing
that the President has reached the con-
clusion a reasonable time to make be-
ginning in establishing peace has near
ly elapsed.
No News Today Of Fighting.
o6cIals here are awaiting with much
interest news from Mexico City and
also from the Carranza and Villa forces
in the field somewhere near Mexico
City. Up to this afternoon no dis
patches had come from Mexico City and
no news of any fighting. No special
efrort is being made by the United
States to re-establish communication
because nghting makes it impossible.
Both Villa and Carranza agencies
here are without advices of the armies
believed to be engaged somewhere near
Pachuca, forty miles northeast of the
capital. The Carranza troops which

TO ASK GERMANY
ABOUT THE 0RDUNA
Report Submitted by Collector
Malone Embraces Affidavit of
American Regarding Attack.

The United States will make diplo-
matte inquiries Of Germany regarding
the submarine attack on tho cunard
liner Orduna at a time when she was
bringing score of Americans home.
A report of an investigation conduct

York. presented today to the State De-
partment. embracing affidavits Of off,

All officials refused to discuss the re-
port or its contents, but it IL known
that State Department ohicials did not
feel they could address inquiries to
Germany on statements made by Brit
ish passengers alone. Now, in possess
sion Of statements by Americans. the
United States probably will ask the
Berlin foreign office for its version of
the affair. and developments will de-
pend on the reply. >
Administration officials expressed the
hope today that the Cunard liner Or
duna. which sailed from New York
yesterday. will have a safe passage to
Liverpool especially for the reason
that there are eight citiSens of the
United States included in her passenger
list of 1875 persons. Increased interest

Test Of Germany's Policy,

that the voyage of the Orduna may put
to a practical test the policy of the

ence with Americans travelling on a bel
ligerent ship on the high seas.
Because OF the important issues in
volved in that particular question, off,
Gals are inclined to deplore the great
publicity which has attended the de-
parture of the vessel from New York
and the character of her cargo, on the
ground that such Information is likely
to mako the vessel a special target of
German naval operations.
Collector Malone Reports of orduna.
Dudley Field Malone, customs col,
lector at New York, today presented a
report of his Investigations of the Ger
