4 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 ['l“\ll\l<' 3 i R R *"*/"%Q BN R ,‘zfi E A R R R 3 ";.'-:i' e ¥ R e ; e ‘ : : ; e TUa RN g ?:_'__~._v B "v £ 3 f “.’.-'\"}:3_ P $ / P A"'::,_ NG S 3 S &‘ G o G %‘A S ) R i SRR N SRENEINS T Ee: “ At top, Speaker Burwell, of the House; and b elow, John I.
