CAPERS WAS CHOSEN. Tho President Believed that He Could Control State's Vote. Washington, Jan. 16.-Telegraph *c dispatches announcing the fact that earl Wight, of New Orleans, had finitely decided that he would not cepl the office of Commissioner of ternal Revenue* are of more than dinary interest to the. people of uth Carolina. Behind the statement of Mr.Wight, hat he will not come to Washington o become the head of the big Inter al revenue bureau, ls an interest ing story. Last summer, when Mr. erkes, then commissioner, decided that he would leave the office for tho purpose of resuming the active practice of law, there was much spec ulation as to who would be his'suc cessor. To the surprise of many peo ple John Q. Capers, of South Caroli na, was named by the President to hold the place temporarily until Mr. Wight, the real appointee, could so arrange his business affairs that he could come to Washington. Mr. Wight held several confer ences with the President about the matter, and finally decided that he could not afford to sacrifice his busi 'ness Interests by assuming the cora misslonershlp-at least not at that time. Mr. Capers then went In, so far as the public knew, to hold the place only temporarily. There was a general feeling ?mong the public, however, that th?, President, know ing of Mr. Cap?rs' strong political hold In South Carolina and elsewhere in the South, had really Intended for him to be the permanent commis sioner. Another fact that leads to the be lief that this ls the true state of the case ls that Mr. Wight did not dell- | nitely and positively decline to ac-| cept the place until a few days ago after Mr. Capers had been confirmed by the Senate as commissioner. There is apparently no reason why Mr. Capers should not hold tho place for an indefinite time. The adminis tration of his office has been entirely satisfactory, and he has mixed poli tics and business of his bureau to the liking of both the President and becretary Cortelyou-his Immediate superior. Mr. Wight's statement that he would not accept the place and Mr. Capers' confirmation should mean that the latter will hold the place for an indefinite period.
