TO REAPPOINT CRUTM. Negro Port Collector to Get Second I Term if Teddy Has His Way. Washington. December 1.-Presi dent Roosevelt today appointed Dan iel J. Keefe, of Detroit, commissioner general of immigration, to fill the plasce made vacant by the death of Frank P. Sargent, and made known his intention to reappoint to their re spective positions W. D. Crum, collec tor of the port at Charleston, S. C., and Martin Knapp chairman of the Inter-State commerce commission. Mr. Keefe is president of tihe Internation al Association of Longshoremen and formerly was sixth vice president of L the American Federation of Labor, ] During the recent campaign Mr. Keefe I announced his support of Judge Taft in defiance of the policy of Presi dent Gompers, of the Federation of 1 Labor. He was one of the most loyal Taft workers in labor circles. The president signed his commis sion today and he received it from the hands of Secretary Straus, with whom he conferred during the day. At the expiration of his term of office early this month Collector Crum, at Charleston, will be reappointed. There was a long and bitter fight on the original appointment of Dr. Crnm, who is a negro. For several years his name was hung up in the senate and the people of Charleston stubbornly fought his confirmation. Dr. Crum's record as collector at Charleston has been such that Presi dent Roosevelt decided that he shall have another term. As chairman of the Inter-State commerce commission Mr. Knapp, who ,has been identified with the commis sion for eighteen years, has made a record ivhich has won the admiration; of the president, and at the expira tion of his present term the first of next year the president will reap point him.
