DR. M'FARLAND REFUSES
TO TALK OF GIRL'S DEATH
(From s Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINUTON, Jan. IS. -(Special Tele
gram I John C. Wharton Is lo be post
master of Umaha tu succeed II. F.
Thomas, whose term expires In February.
,Thtg solution lo the problem was
reached by Senator llrown today, who
sent the name of Mr. Wharton to Presi
dent Taft with the recommendation that
he be appointed to the place- A number
of other men had been suggested as
aspirants for the position and several
had endorsements on file. These were
not considered by Senator Brown, who
had sought lo secure for the Kltlnn
some man who stood high In local busi
ness circles and whose name would carry
weight and dignity with It. For this
reason he offered the appointment to
Robert Cowell. and when the latter de
clined the senator turned to Mr. Wharton
the most available. Mr. Wharton's
name will be sent to the senate without
delay.
Postmaster Thomas will be permitted
to serve out Ills term. The president
reached this conclusion after a full ex
amination of the charges against Mr.
Thomas, deciding that ndlhlng would be
gained by his removal, but determining
not to reappoint him. The others who
are Involved In the charges with Thomas
will be continued In their employment on
probation under the new postmaster.

With reference to his decision Senator
Brown said: '
"I Intend to ask the president to ap
point John C. Wharton to be postmaster
at Omaha. After diligent Inquiry since
Robert Cowell fee la unable to accept the
office, I am convinced that this will be
the most satisfactory appointment to
the patrons of the office. Sir. Wharton
was not a candidate for the place, but
he seemed to me the second choice of
the friends of the other candidatea. One
thing Is conceded by all. that he would
make a good and efficient officer."
It is understood that Senator Brown
reached thla conclusion after a confer
