WO WILL BE BARTOW'S NEXT POSTMASTER THIS IS A SUBJECT WHICE IS CAUSING A ROW IN WASHINGTON. Fletcher and Bryan Favor Gen. Law While Sparkman’s Choice Is Wilson. (By Winfield Jones.) Washinbton, April 26.—Another federal patronage row has developed among the Florida congressmen. Sometime ago Representative Sparkman recommended to Postmas- ter General Burleson the appoint- ment of J. H. Humphries as post- master at Bradentown, and Sam Wile son as postmaster at Bartow. As soon as Senators Bryan and Fletcher heard of Representative Sparkman's action they called on Postmaster General Burleson and recommended the appointment of Genmeral L. M. Law at Bartow. It was then clearly ‘‘up to” the administration to decide whether recommendaton of the con- gressman would be followed in ap- pointing postmausters, or whether tho long cstablished custom would be overruled and the senators allowed to name postmasters with expectancy of their recommendations over-riding those of the congressmen. Speaking of Humphries and WIil- son today, Representative Spark- man sald they were both high class men, and fitted in every way for the positions. General Law is a Confederate vet- eran and has been opposed to Spark- man in politics for many years, it is said, His appointment by Presl- dent Wilson would be considercd 3 turndown of Sparkman. Secretary Navy to Visit Pensacola. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels promised Representative Wilson today that he will visit the nuvy yard at Pensacola on May 6 Representative Wilson has been urgs ing the secretary to visit Florida fo™ some time and look over the navy yard situation at Pensacola. In am interview with Mr, Daniels today he czplained the importance of agaim opening up the yard, or else the sale of it to some individual or corpora- tion who will operate it as a private yard, Failing in ecither of these plans Rcepresentative Wilson believes the equipment at the yard should be of- fered for sale, and the valuable land upon which it is situated be put to some use. le cxplained that thero Is at least $10,000,000 worth of gov- ernment property laying idle, which will necessarily decrease in value the longer it is allowed to remain in its present state. Secretary Daniels promised Mr. Wilson that he will thoroughly in- vestigate the whole situation while on hisv sit, and decide at the earliest possible date what is to be done with regard to again opening the yard. Representative Wilson today rec- ommended to Postmaster General Burleson the appointment of Miss Kva Vaughn as postmaster at Cene tury, Florida, This office was recents Iy transierred to the presidential cluss at a salary of $1,000.
