WANT TO KEEP THEM
? . ...
REPUBLICANS WILL TRY TO HOLD
ONTO THE OFFSICES.
TAFT SAID TO FAVOR IT
Elaborate Republican Scheme for
GtiUVftl Shifting ul Important Of ftces
IMciii^ the Last Days of President.
Taft's Term, Hut Democrats;
.May Retaliate Should It He Attempted.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says evidences
multiply that it is the purpose of the
Taft administration to make hay in
the way of Presidential patronage
during the few harvest months that
remain it? lite Republican party beiVitm
the Democrats take charge of
1 he Government next March.
The plan is not only to make every
possible* appointment that may be
reached in the regular course, but to
create a number of additional opportunities
by tho device of having present
oillce-holders resign, so that their
successors may be nominated for long
terms, or so that the prestige of having
held important positions may be
distributed as widely as possible
among ''the faithful".
An instance1 of the last named largesse
is to he found in cases like that
of the newly appointed Treasurer of
the United States, Carmi A. Thompson,
of Ohio. Loc McClung of Tennessee,
was practically forced to resign
a few weeks ago because he had
criticised the official temperament of
his superior, Secretary MacVeagh, of
the treasury department. This matter
could have been brought to a
head before the election, but t.he Administration
prudently deferred the
ousting of ?Mr. McClung until it was
too late for him to become an active
Hull Moose, like Mr. Robert Bacon.
Now, at considerable cost, to tlf<
(Jovernment, (because with every
change of Treasurers there must he
a complete special counting of all the
money held by Uncle Sam,) Mr.
Thompson is made Treasurer for the
rest of the term, which expires March
4, 1913, in order that he may go into
private life as ''Ex-Treasurer of the
United States". This distinction
should ho worth a fortune to the
owner of it in the way of making business
connections, for there are always
big banks which are ready to
pay well for the advertisement 01
having a former National Treasurer
on their staff.
The process of playing for longer
u*.l> ure OI gOOO omces ior ivt*|?uum:iin
holders has been under way for some
time, in (ho opinion of Democratic
observers who know "the political
game'*. Those watchers have seen
a number of resignations vvnicn
aroused the suspicion that they were
submitted primarily for the purpose
of giving (ho President an opportunit\
to name new men for full terms.
Suppose a Presidential postmaster
resigns now. The President will applied
a successor for four years. Of
course, the incoming Democratic Administration
can remove such tin office-holder
if the President sees fit,
but this power will not always be a
pleasant or u desirable one to exercise,
and Republican nominees are
glad to take their chances on being
able to hold on for at least a considerable
time after the political balance
changes.
A Republican national committeeman
representing a certain Democratic
State has recently come to
Washington with a complete plan for
ihe nomination of over a hundred
regular Republican postmasters in
that State before the Administration
ends. The resignation device will ho
employed in many of these cases. It
is not strange that Democratic politicians
are alarmed and angry when
they contemplate such prospects, and
that there are in titterings of sharp
retaliation unless tho outlook
changes.
One weapon which the Democrats
can use is that of holding up in the
Senate those Presidential nominations
which require confirmation, ti
"iast chance" office-grabbing goes
too far for their patience, the minority
In the Senate may come to absolute
loggerheads with the President
and block all his closing appointments.
Another weapon is wholesale
ejection of these swan-song selections
when the Wilson administration
begins.
Much depends upon the attitude of
Mr. Wilson himself. That he would
appreciate being relieved by Mr.
Taft of the burden of making
Presidential appointments, as
jk benevolently suggested around the
White Houho ofllces, is by no means
probable. Tho situation is a ticklish
one for bona fide Republican holdovers
who would suffer if retaliatory
Democratic reaction were provoked
by a policy of greed in the remaining
Republican montlfs.

FORTY INJURED.
Tho Westbound Express on I ho
Pennsylvania Wrecked When tho
Engine Hits Broken Rail.
Threo sleeping cars and a day
coach detached themselves from at
derailed Pennsylvania express at
Glen Loch, Pa., Thursday, plunged
down a 2 0-foot embankment and
landed on top or a string of coal cars
on a parallel track. Tho accident
took at least tho three lives as toll,
while 4 0 or more passengers were
hurt. Probably some of these are fatally
injured.
The heavy train, known as the
Cincinnati Express, was hauled by
two locomotives. It is the belief of
railroad ofllcials that a broken rail
was responsible for the wreck.
Passengers in the cars that had
remained on tho roadbed hurried to
help persons caught in tho plunge ov
the other coaches. The injured were
cared lor in nearby farm houses until
tho arrival of relief trains which
were loaded, then hurried back to
Westchester or Harrisburg.
A remarkable feature of the wreck
was that so many of the passengers
regained their baggngo. Sleeping car
occupants said that after the first
shock when tho cars toppled over
and they found no fire or serious
dam ago to the structures of the cars
that they wore able to grope their
way hack to berths and dress by the
light of lanterns some of the passengers
hustled into their clothes while
standing in vestibules.
The accident occurred near Glenlook,
30 miles west of Philadelphia.
The Pullmans were steel cars of the
latest type. Sixteen of the injured
passengers were placed on a special
train and removed to the Westchester
hospital while trainmen and physicians
from the surrounding country
worked with lanterns in the midst
of a blinding snowstorm in an effort
to uncover other survivors who
might be buried in the wreckage.
Other injured persons were taken to
neighboring farm houses and some
were sent on another train to the
West.
The bodies of two Pullman conductors
were found wodged between two
of the sleeping cars. The train consisted
of nine sleepers, one day coach,
a combination baggage and mail car
and the Unitetd States mail car. The
Reading locomotive left the track,
supposedly from a broken rail. The
second locomotive, however, remained
on the track.

floaded by her conscience after

killing of a husband by his wife was
depicted, Mrs. McAfee, a well to no
widow of Macon, flu., has confessed
that she killed her husband in Ireland
ton years ago. Two weeks ago
Mrs. McAfee saw the moving picture,
the plot of which, she thought, corresponded
in a measure with the hidden
story of her life. From that day,
her relatives say, she began to worry
and weep, She summoned her relatives
and confessed that she had been
responsible for the violent death of
her husband in Ireland in 1002 and
that it was preying on her mind. She
said she would never know another
moment's peace unless she returned
to Ireland and suffered for her act.
She says that she was jealous of her
husband and brought about his death
in such a way that It seemed accidental.

SENATOR TILLMAN
?
PAYS VISIT TO CHARLESTON DURING
FLEET WEEK
#
TALKS WITH REPORTER
?
About Matters Generally and the City
by the Sea Particularly.?Option
of Chairmanship of Three Influential
Senate Committees.?Thinks
Wilson's Silence is Wise.
Sonator Tillman paid a visit to
Charleston last week while the fleet
was there. While in the city lie and
Mrs. Tillman were entertained by Mr.
Henry I'. Williams. Many of the
prominent citizens of Charleston called
on Sonator Tillman while ho was
in the city, lie attended the banquet
at the Charleston hotel in honor of
Admiral Osterhaus and paid a formal
call upon Admiral Osterhaus aboard
the battleship Utah.
In a talk with a reporter of The
News and Courier Senator Tillman
said: *4I have the choice of the
chairmanship of one of three committees
of the senate?three important
ones?the appropriations, the.
naval affairs and the inter-state commerce
committees.'' Asked which he
would accept, the senator declared
that he would wait until he reached
Washington upon the convening of
Congress, when lie could thoroughly
look Into the matter and deci/lo
which committee would be the best
vehicle with which to serve the country
and South Carolina in particular,
and the duties of which his physical
strength could best meet.
't itn not want to burden niyseTl.
I do not want to undertake what I
cannot do justice to. and for some
reasons 1 am inclined to the naval
affairs committee, but the appropriations
committee carries with it so
much more of influence and prestige
that just now I am rather inclined
to it. Hut of course, remember
that I retain membership on all
three of the commitees, no matter
which I am chairman of. If, after 1
investigate the situation. I believethat
can do the work, I will take the
appropriations committee: otherwise,
I will take the naval affairs committee."
In answer to the question that in
case he choose the naval affairs committee
what would be his attitude
toward the navy yard at Charleston
Senator Tillman said:
"Just what It always has been. 1
will ask all that is decent, and reasonable.
f have never been hoggish
about anything, and 1 think that Is
the reason I usually got what 1 asked
for and sometimes a little more.
You know that f have always wanted
the Charleston yard to have its pro

ram BIHlir cw. .....
that arc made, and for it to be developed
in lino with all the progress
that is made, but remember, all I will
ask will be within the Pounds of decency
and reason."
Senator Tillman seemed particularly
desirous that the erroneous impression
created that he would assure the
future of the Charleston yard bo corrected.
lie wished to be relieved of
the impression that he was assuming
ar air of bragging or overconfidence.
And at the same time he assured the
reporter that he would represent
h'outh Carolina's interests and Charleston's
as lie bad always done; that
if the policy of the Wilson administration
was to strengthen the navy
and to enlarge the navy yard equipments.
he would most assuredly ask
tor all that could be decently asked
for in behalf of the Charleston yard.
"As to the developments of the
Charleston yard," said Senator Tillman.
"and for its enlargement, that
all depends upon the attitude of the
new secretary of the navy and the
general policy adopted by the Wilson'
administration. Meyer, you know,!
was rather inimical toward this yard.
I have combatted that attitude, and 1
think successfully. It the Wilson administration
favors it policy of devel"
" ! "f # l,r, n,'t? ,j 11 U nn viil on n In
iJjiiilf-: I/L uiu uu? / ctuM ? %%?% ^ v, . p
ruent, 1 will want the Charleston yard
tli* be developed In proportion to all
others, as it is the only Southern
yard left, and as it is nearest to Panama."
Senator Tillman appeared to join
heartily in the reporter's patriotic
outburst that Charleston was in all
reality "the most convenient port to
Panama". A pa In asking to he absolved
from any assumption of bragging
airs, the Senator made assurance
of his friendship to this city and
this port. -''Just as 1 have always
been".
In regard to the cabinet appointments
to be made by Woodrow Wilson,
who will soon assume the. reins
of the national government, Senator
rrnt 4 1.1.. 1-.. t U i ilw. *
I l 11 lu ii u imimM imvi viii? (Jifnmuiuelect
has boon eminently wise in refraining
from any statements pertaining
thereto.
'Wilson is wise in not making the
newspapers his spokesmen in the
matter of cabinet appointments," said
he. "He would he running away
ahead of his hounds in shooting off
his mouth prematurely. All the time
now between the convening of Congress
and his inauguration Wilson
will have opportunity to confer with
the leading Democrats of the country
and to make judicious selections."
"How about the appointment of
Southern men?" was a question Tiropounded.
"Wilson ought not to appoint an
undue number of .Southern men,'
said the Senator, "but the South hftl
been out in the cold so long. I hope
the return of a Southern man to the
presidency after sixty years will be
signalized by a return to the anto-bol
lum policy inaugurated by tho Democrats

Huslieri to tho Hospital.
Mistaking Fred A. Guttonborger,
president of Guttenberger's Music
company, and a prominent business
man of Macon, Ga., for a burglar,
Mallory Heddingfleld, manager at
Schofield's Iron works, shot him thro'
the stomach Wednesday night about
10:30 o'clock.
He was immediately rushed to the
city hospital, where he now lies in a
critical condition. Attending doctors
stated Thursday morning that
chances of recovery were against
him. The Atlanta Journal says:
Mr. and Mrs. Guttenberger had
just returned to their Napier avenue
home from down town in their autoI
mobile. 'Mr. Heddingfleld, who lives
next door, was eating supper at the
time of their arrival.
His ducks in the bacl. yard made
considerable noise ns if loing molested.
Mr. Heddingfleld seized his pistol
and flied four shots at Mr. and
Mrs. Guttenberger, who wore in their
back yard 011 their way Into the
house. One of the shots struck Mr.
Guttenberger just below the heart
and lodged in the back.
Mrs. Guttenberger hastened to a
neighbor's bouse across the street,
and summoned a physician. Hazel
Sterns, a sixteen-year-old lad, TTving
across the street from Guttonberger's
home, was the first, to reach the
side of the wounded mall.
With the assistance of neighbors
who quickly gathered, the wounded
man was carried into the house and
later to the hospital. ' At 2 o'clock
Thursday morning, an operation was
performed and the bullet removed
from his body. His condition is critical
with only a fighting chance-for
life.
Reddingfield made tho following
statement Thursday morning;:
'[ was eating supper at 10:1*0 o'clock
last night and heard my ducks
making an unusual noise. i seized
my pistol and hurried to th-2 back
porch.
' I saw Mr. and Mrs. duttenbergor
standing in the dark and I took them
to be pals of burglars I thought to be
in my yard. I bred four times but
not in their direction.
"Tho bullet that struck Mr. duttenberger
must have been deflected,
as I did not shoot in their direction.
It was simply an accident which I regret
more than anything in the

Replying to a question as to his

The mention of the word conservatism
led to inquiries and discussion
.as to what Senator Tillman regarded
us conservatism and radicalism, with
the result that it became apparent
that the senior senator from South
Carolina now regards himself as one
of the countr\'s conservators, or, in
other words, he is one of the cops in
the wheels that keep the country from
poinp to the devil. Hut from that it
must not be understood that Senator
Tillman thinks he has undergone any

THOUSANDS ARE KILLED
TYPHOON" SWEEPS TKIltEE PHIT*IJPINE
ISLANDS.
- ?
The Storm Ik the Worst That Ham
Visited the' Islands Slnce? We Have
Had Them.
A Washington dispatch says the
government ollicials are eagerly
awaiting further details of the dja&r
typhoon wnicli has swept ovet^the
southern islands of the Phillipiae
group, and which is reported to have
killed many thousands of natives.
Acting Governor General Gilbert
cabled to the Insular 'Pureau of the
War Department the meagre details
ho had received from the desolated
islands, saying that it was reported
ia Manila that from 15,000 to 17,000
persons nad been killed by the
storm which swept eastward across
the Island of Leyto to that of Pnyan,
completely devastating the cities of
Tacloban and On pi/..
It. is feared that a number #f
Americans and other foreigners, who
either are employed in or have homes
near these places, have met their
death. It is known that the devastation
on both islands and on the western
coast of Mindanao was tremendous.
The typhoon is considered the
worst which has visited the Phlllipines
since the American occupation
of the islands, and Acting Governor
General Gilbert at once dispatched a
shipload of food and materials for
repair to Tacloban, holding several
transports ready for movement ft
needed in this section.
Tacloban. the capital of L.eyt3, is
on the northeast coast of that jslauvl.
and has a population of about 14,000
It is the centre of a considerable
1 f nip district. Cupiz, Lhe capital of
the province) of that name, is the te*rminnl
of the railroad crossing the isl.i,wl
I'l'nm Ilnilri !inM i ii n im tmrt i nl
sugar port. It lias a population of
about 20,000.
Following the receipt of the dispatch
announcing the heavy casualty's
in the Viscayuns, the Red Gross
prepared to rush a relief fund to the
Governor-General. The Wuahington
oflico has cabled the insular Government
asking how great is their need.
The War Department will not ord?r
special supplies sent to the Phillipines
until further information is
received as to the extent of the damage.
At Manila there are plenty of
military supplies, which, it is assumed,
have been utilized to care for the
sufferers.
Iloilo, where the damage is said to
he even greater, is one of the most
fertile of the Fhillipine Islands, with
vast sugar and hemp plantations
They are mainly owned by natives,
although many former American soldiers
are interested in them. Capiz
