Washington. In the earnest hop of arriving at an understanding in the now indefinite and underterminatt matter of Tennessee patronage a$ they are concerned in its distribution, Senators Shields and Lea expect to hold a conference with President Wil son the latter part of this week or the first of next week. This confer ence may or may not result in the Im mediate solution of the severaj patron age problems which have been worry ing administration officials and the Tennessee senators and congressmen for some months. For the better understanding of the patronage problem in Tennessee It is necessary to state that the policy of the administration has been to divide the federal offices in the several states into two classes, viz: senatorial and congressional patronage. In this division the senators, as a rule, have received more liberal treatment than the congressmen, whose patronage has been practically restricted to the ap pointment of postmasters, except in the home towns of the senators. The senators have been allowed to name, or are supposed to be privileged to name, internal revenue collectors, United States district attorney and marshals and income tax collectors, and some minor officers. This was the announced policy of the administration in the early days of its control and authority, but there have been some radical departures from the then understood programme as to patronage distribution. It hap pens that some of the most radical of these departures have been made in Tennessee, the appointment of the in ternal revenue collector being thte most illustrative. The two senators being unable to agree upon a candidate, Secretary Mc Adoo appointed Edward B. Craig. While Mr. Craig's confirmation was approved by both senators, he was the appointee of the secretary of the treas ury. SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS MADE Governor Names Members of World Wide Peace Foundation.

Hampton, re Finned - Large Gift to Mission Board. As an evidence of the spirit Of co operation and unity that the religious leaders say exist at present to a greater extent on the part of the dif ferent denominations than ever be fore, the Board of Missions of the M. E. Church have recently received a large gift from a member of the Church of Christ, whose name is with held. The gift, which is more than $50,000, is to be in the form of a memorial. So far as could be learned this is the largest single gift that has ever come to the Mission Board of the M. E. Church, South. This gift, it is understood, has been paralleled by a recent instance when a Methodist woman, whose name is also withheld, pledged to the Mission Board of the Church of Christ to pro vide for the erection of all the build ings the board needed in the mission work in Thibet, up to the number of thirty. , Another recent contribution to the Methodist mission came from a com mariaer of Knights Templars. The promise of a similar contribution from the same source accompanied this gift. For Fire Prevention. The feature of the annual meeting of the Tennessee Fire Prevention As sociation, held in this city, were the talks made by O. P. Ru3h, special agent of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, and Alvin F. Hobert, insur ance commissioner and secretary of state of Louisiana. Mr. Rush discussed fires and their causes in an exhaustive manner. He said that carelessness and Indifference caused 70 per cent of the fires in this country; that statis tics and the reports of the fire mar shals of the various states and coun tries disproved the assertion that had been made by some of the periodicals of the country to the effect that fire insurance was conducive to incen diarism. The statistics showed, on the contrary, that 3.51 per cent of the fires were of incendiary origin, and that granting that a portion of the 18.15 per cent of those fires which were of unknown origin were credited to those resulting from incendiarism, that it would still be seen that the latter r did not play the largest part In the matter of causing fires. Transfer of Funds to Peabody. At a meeting of the board of trus tees of the George Peabody College for Teachers, held at the home of Judge J. C.

Sanford of Knoxcllle, Dr. Bruce R. Payne, E. A. Lindsey and James E. Caldwell of Nashville, Con gressman Aswell of Louisiana, and J. K. Orr of Atlanta. The members of this committee will leave the latter part of the week for New York. There was not a full attendance of the out-of-town members of the board at this meeting, but the attendance was a representative one. According to Dr. Payne the matter of the trans fer of the large contributions recently made was the only matter of impor tance to come up. New Commercial Organization. The special committees working for a greater commercial organization for Nashville and the consolidation of the various bodies met at the Commercial Club when 411 new members were added to the list. Great enthusiasm was manifested as the reports were submitted by the different committees. The goal is 1,800 members, abd Stren uous efforts are to be put forth to se cure this number before the end of the week. Governor Some Pedestrian. Gov. Hooper is great on taking ex ercise, and it is nothing for him to get out and hike five or six miles every day.
