w&'h e Poorest Showing of Any State in Proportionjto Its- Representation Why ; : Small Did not Get -: ;on Rivers and ; Harbors Tashlngton, Dec 5. Special. The louncement of committees in the use has given the members 'some ag to talk about. - Disappointments numerous on both sides politically, while there has been no little :king, members realize that they are lpless and take the situation phllo phically. i The assignments of the North Caro 1a delegation had been anticipated. ily one committee appointment of y. importance was given the state, it on the committee on post offices, arded to Mr. Kluttz. It is a pain truth to Say that no state with a presentation of ten members in Con ess fared so badly as North Carolina, : is true that the Tar Heel members, ith the exception of W. W. Kit chin, xve served comparatively short terms v Congress, but this should not pre 3nt at least a fair, recognition of a .ate with a Democratic representation f ten members. " ' North Carolina has not a place 'on ther . of " the. f our big committees of le House was and means, judiciary, ppropriations and rivers and harbors at the Democrats have twenty-four embers on these committees.

The failure of John H. Small of orth Carolina to': land " on the river id harbor committee was a distinct sappointment to all the representees ong the south Atlantic coast, where much interest has been manifested 'the proposed inland route. Minority ader Williams said today that ; he commended Mr. .Small for appoint ing but that Speaker Cannon elimi ted him, refusing to give another ;mber to the Atlantic coast. Mr. Cannon's reasons may be good, t he has certainly stocked the river d harbor committee In favor of the Jf statesJ-yHe begins with Texas and es not skip one, finally quitting with forgia, which, although not a gulf ate. is closely related to the gulf, very Democratic member of this com Jttee, six In all, is from the same ter tory. In marked contrast are the mth Atlantic states South Carolina, orth Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and ela ware covering a greater and more h port ant water stretch, which are Jnored and have not a single member a the committee.

Massey of Smithfleld ap peared before 'Mr. Bristow, the fourth assistant postmaster general, today, ac companied ' by ' hisattorneyi ' Claudius Dockery, and made flat denial of the charges preferred against him, which a post : office 7 inspector investigated in person and declared warranted his re moval from office.'- The hearing - was private, but Mr. Massey and his attor ney went away J under the impression .that they won Mr. - Bristow ; to their 'way. of thinking and that the present incumbent . "would- be retained in of fice. Many letters urging the retention of Mr.' Massey were placed in evidence. Mr. Dockery said there were 280 such letters signed by Democrats and that all Republicans In Smithfleld asked for his retention. Gen. Bristow said he would take the case.,underconsidera tion and announce his decision later. Mr, H. B. Varner, .commissioner of labor, who Is the proprietor of the suc cessful Davidson Dispatch, has pur chased the Salisbury Truth-Index, and will assume control of that . paper Jan uary 1. v The name of the paper will be changed anL' after that., date it will be known as the Salisbury Globe.

' - Senator Overman returned from Sal isbury this morning. " " The members of the editorial party who remained over . today have gone home, and tonight President Varner is the only one in the city. The nomination of John E. Albright to be postmaster at Mount Airy was the only one from North Carolina the Senate failed to conflrm. From information obtained today it is understood that Senator Hanna told the president at a" conference at the White House last night that he would not accept the position of chairman of the Republican national committee next year. The very interesting report Is in circulation, to . the effect that Hanna, in pushing away" the. offer of the chair manship, is cleiirlng "the decks for ac tion, and- if the, occasion seems pro pitious during the next few months, will himself become a candidate against Mr. Roosevelt- for the nomina tion. It Is pointed out that it would not be wise to Jet , his intentions be knpwn just now. - In some' quarters the j fight over the confirmation of General wood is taken, to be a test of strength between the president and Mr. Hanna. It Is believed -that ex-Governor Murray Crane of Massachusetts will succeed Mr.- Harma as national chairman, when the Republican committees meet In this city next week. . Some significance, is attached to the appointment of Representative Crum packer of Indiana as chairman of the committee on census to take the place of Mr; tHopkIns of Illinois, who has been elevated -to the Senate. Mr. Crum packer has undertaken to reduce the representation 'of ther south In Congress.
