Washington, D.

W. Maitin, who. about a month ago was «ppointed / Collector at Jacksonville, will vacate the office. In fact it has been known .confidentially here that before thq agreement was reached to give the position to Martin his resig- ration of the office to take effect July L, was already In the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury. When Senators Fletcher and Bryan took up the matter of select- Mg a man to be Collector of Flor- ida, Secretary McAdoo expressed a wish to see the candidates person- z‘,!ly: before making a choice, There- fore \he Senatbrs wircd to the most prominent candidates to come at are A, J. Anele, W T ppecker and i* €, Bowyer, all of Tampa. It was said here today that Mar- D has been ill-advised by frlends in Florida into making fight to retaln the office when the reorganization is affected, and Las heen toid that it is impossible to remove him before his four-yca: term expirves. This is erroneous, as the Secrctary of the Treasury has to Washington at once and those here next regular scesion to begin in De- cember. In the tariff bill as reported to the Democratic caucus from the Senate Finance Committee the rates on cit- rus fruits remain unchanged from the bill as passed by the House.

MILLIONS FOR COUTHERN BANKS Bill Proposes Deposits of Eleven Mil- lions in Bonds in Banks of Cotton States, (By Assoclated Press) Wasington, D. C., June 26—De- posits of eleven million dollars of government bonds in the banks of the cotton-growing States would be authorized by a bill introduced to- day by Senator Smith of South Car- olina. The bonds would represent the amount held by the treasury for cotton seixed during the Civil War, claims for which have not been ad- judicated, and the amount of reve- nue tax on the kcotton collected by the government just after war and before the Supreme Court held the tax unconstitutional. Smith declares the money proper- 1¥ belongs to the cotton States and the government should deposit it | there until claims against it are set- I{;ed.
