Seeks to Put White Men in as
Recorder of Deeds and Re
ister of Wills.
WASHINGTON, June 27.—A bill
destined to remove the offices of Re
corder of Deeds and Register of Wills
forever from the political influence
~and to stop the custom of having
them filled by colored people was in
troduced in the Senate to-day by Sen
ator Hoke Smtih.
The bill provides that the Register
of Wills and Recorder of Deeds shall
be placed under the supervision of the
District Commissioners, to whom they
must report annually, and makes in
eligible for appointment to these of
fices any persons who have not been
bona fide residents of the District for
three years prior to their appoint
ment.
The introduction of the bill comes
at a tirme when the office of Recorde!
of Deeds is about to be filled by Pres
ident Wilson, the present Recorder
Henry Lincoln Johnson, a colored
lawyver, formerly of Atlanta, having
sent in his resignation, to take effect
July 1. Already several Senators and
Representatives have called at the
W hite House in the interest of candi
dates in their States and districts
“The business done by these of
fices,” said Senator Smith, “is for the
residents of the District. There is
every reason why both the Recorder
and Register should be selected from
bona fide residents, and that they
should not be politicians brought he re
to be rewarded for party support in
other localities. |
“1 believe, too, that offices of the
importance of the Recorder of Deeds
and Register of Wills should report to
someone, and that there should be ‘
proper publicity. |
“1 intend to do all in my power 0
get action on this bill as quickly as

A TODIRELT
CAMPAIGN FRON
CAGAMDRE HILL
Colonel to Take Rest Cure, Mak
ing Only Short Tours for
Progressives.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 27.--The
Progressive party's fight throughout
the nation will be conducted. this
summer largely from the porch of
Sagamore Hill
Colonel Roosevelt got peremptory
orders from his physician, Dr. Alex
ander Lambert, of New York, to-day
that if he is to recover from the in
roads of the jungle fever he must
stay home and take as much rest as
he can get.
Reluctantly the ex-Presldent con
sented to curtail the country-wide
campaign of speech-making urged
upon him by his leaders. During the
fonr months Dr. Lambert says he
must rest up, Roosevelt will go upon
stumping tours perhaps half a dozen
times if his present notion works out.
To Make No Long Trips.
Long trips will be eschewed. The
Colonel will appear in widely scat
tered cities where the Progressive
battles rage the hardest, and try in
that way to reach the whole country.
Dr. Lambert’s dictum to the Colonel
was given this morning after he ex
amined Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill
The physician found that Rcosevelt
is suffering. from an enlarged spleen
and an aggravated form of malaria,
all the outcome of grilling experi
ences in the Brazilian wilds.
Although Roosevelt has looked
much better since his return from
Europe than at any time since emerg
ing from the jungles, he has had fre
quent touches of chills and fever.
The worst attack was that on the
steamer on the way home fram Eu
rope. $
Must Rest All Summer.
Dr. Lambert told the:€Colonel that
he needs the entire symmer, as he
put it, to get himself into shape
again, It will take time, he said, to
drive the malaria out.
“But in four months the campaign
will be over,” protested Colonel
Roosevelt.
“That may be so,” replied the phy
sician, “but your health is to be con
sidered before the campaign.”
(olonel Roosevelt agreed to give up
much of the active road campaign
work carved out for him by his Cab
inet, but told the physician that there
are some engagements ‘he can not
escape. ’
The Colonel announced after Dr.
Lambert had gone that he would start
revising the campaign schedule by
cutting out the contemplated trip to
the Pacific Coast in September. Gov
ernor Hiram Johnson of California,
who is running for re-election, want
ed the ex-President to stump the
State for him, and Roosevelt ,md
promised to do it. \
Cuts Down Program.
“The California Progressives have
wired me that it won't be necessary
for me to go out there, so I've aban
doned that trip,” said the Colonel
Instead of making two speeches in
Pittsburg next "Fuesday, where the
‘ex-President launches his campaign
activity, he has telegraphed the Penn
sylvania Progressives that he will be
able to make but one.
On returning to New York on Wed
nesday he will go under treatment of
Dr. Holbrook Curtis, throat special
ist. After that he will come back to
Oyster Bay to try out Dr. Lambert’s
rest cure,
