WILLIAMS NAMED
TO SUCCEED SELF
President Wilson Nonnatcs Rich
mond Man as Comptroller OF the
Currency.

Washington. Jan. a9.--President
Wilson sent TO the senate today the
name OF John Shelton Williams for
reappointment as comptroller of the
currency. In the same message he
nominated Jouett Shouse, of Kansas
a member OF the present house, to be
an assistant secretary of the treasury.
Shouse, a Democrat, was defeated for
reelection to congress at the last
election
Comptroller Williams faces the
certainty of q hard fight in the senate
over his confirmation. He was bit
terly opposed five years ago when he
was first appointed to the place.
The nomination will first come up
for consideration by the committee
on banking and currency. Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma. chairman of this
committee. is in Europe and accord
ingly Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska
Is acting chairman.
Senator Overman. OF North Caro-
lima. chairman of the rules commits
tee tDemocrat). is understood to be
unfriendly TO Mr.. Williams. Senator
Reed, of Missouri, made the fight on
behalf of Mr.. Williams when he was
first appointed. but other senators
he is not inclined TO take up the fight
again.
Senator Penrose declared today he
will insist upon having all the charges
and rumors that have ben made
against Williams thoroughly sifted
before a report Is made on confirma-
ton.
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,
believes the work performed by the
comptroller could he better done by
the Federal Reserve board and that
the Office SHOULD he abolished.

MANY ATTEND FUNERAL
OF ". ALVIN LINTHICUM
Tremendous Gathering of People to
Pay Final Tribute to Deceased
County Commissioner.

The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late W. Alvin Lintht.
cum, member of the Board OF
County Commissioners of this coun-
ty, was held at his late home, below
Church Creek, yesterday afternoon,
and was one of the most largely at
tended funerals ever held in this
county, the number of persons pres
ent being estimated at more than
a thousand.
In the large concourse of people
were men of every walk in life, from
the poorest to the wealthiest, men
who had been his lifelong associates
in business and in pleasure were
there to show the esteem in which
they held him. From a hard work
er in the ranks, he had risen steadi-
ly to the point where he was one OF
the largest employers of men in the
county. At time when others were
having difficulty in getting labor, he
never experienced the least trouble;
he was so considerate of his en-
ployes, understood their needs, SYM
pathized with them in their strug-
giles, was always ready to help those
who needed it, and had proved him
self so worthy friend that he could
always get all the help he needed.
In the large crowd were great
many colored people, it having been
Mr.. Linthicum's wish that all of
those who had worked for him
should be informed that he wanted
them with him in death as they had
been in life.
The funeral services were conduc-
ted by the Rev. J. Y. Nicholson, pas
tor of St. Paul's NJ P. Church, assis-
ted by the Rev. George E. Brown, a
former pastor. The pail bearers
were his three brothers, Messrs
James, Samuel W., and Edwin Lin
thicum, his brother-in-law, ]. Pur-
nell Asplen; his nephew, Reese Will
liams, and Mr.. John w. V. Robert
son, a close personal friend. Inter
ment was in the M. P. Church ceme-
terry at Madison, where his two
children are buried.
