RANDALL IS NEXT
May Be Major-General
if Wood Fails.
FORMERLY AT VANCOUVER
Kobbe and Sanger Also Stand
Well With President
SENATE HEARING IS BEGUN
If It Refuses to Confirm Wood,
Roosevelt Will Appoint Him Brig
adier to Take Place of the
General Promoted.
STATUS OF WOOD.
Previous to April 11. 1003. the
Major-Gonorals of the United States
army were. In order. Corbin, Touns.
OhaJIee. MocArthur. Hughe. John C.
Bate, and George W. Davis. The
PriKadler-GeneraJs next In rank were
Greeley, chief signal offlcor; Breckin
ridge. lnpector-Beneral; James F.
"Wade, in the Cold; Ludlngton, quartermaster-General;
Ainsworth, chief
of records in the pension office; Al
fred C Bat"i, paymaster-general;
John T. Weston, commissary-general;
Sumner, In the field, and Wood,
wheese commission as a Brigadier
General was datd the same day, also
In the field. On April 11 General
Hughes was retired, and General
Wade was promoted to the Major
Genralshlp. On July 2C Major-Gen-ctal
Davis was retired and General
Sumner was promoted to the Major
Generalship. This left General Leon
ard Wood the ranking Brigadier
General In the field and on the re
tirement of General Miles and the
consequent' ad-ance all along the
line, he succeeded to a Major-Generalship.
Woods' advance to Major
Generalship can only be accomplished
by "Jumping" romo other Brigadier
over him.
m
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 19. The light that Is being
made to prevent the confirmation of Leon
ard Wood as a. Major-General of the Army
opens up speculation as to who would be
promoted from the Brigadier-Generals In
case the Senate denies Wood the commis
sion given him by the President. Brigadier-General
Randall, recently com
mander of the Department of the Colum
bia, stands at the head of the list of the
Brigadier-Generals, and on a pure prin
ciple of seniority would be advanced, but
seniority -would not necessarily govern.
It Is not known which one of the Brigadier-Generals
would be favored, but it
Is believed the President's choice would
lie between Randall, Kobbe, who stands
second, and Sanger. These three are the
oldest of the Brigadier-Generals, and
would soon retire, making room for the
younger men, who would then be in line
for advancement.
General Wood is now holding the rank
and drawing the pay of a Major-General
under the recess appointment made by
President Roosevelt If the Senate should
refuse to confirm him he would probably
be reappointed a Brigadier-General and
assigned to the place vacated by the Brlg-aiier-General
who would then be chosen
for promotion. Such a change could rea
sonably be made by the President, and
would no doubt be approved by the Sen
ate, If the Senate falls to take nctlon on
"Wood's nomination before the adjourn
ment of the special session, the President
will again have to appoint him a Major
General, and send his nomination to the
Senate when the regular session con
venes In December. Unless some facts
come out against Wood which are not
now looked for. It is believed the Sonate
will confirm the appointment. Failure to
act at this session would only be occa
sioned by inability to close the Investiga
tion In time.
HEARINGS OF CHARGES BEGUN
Senators Hanna and Teller Lead the
Opposition to Wood.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. The inquiry
of the Senate committee on military af
fairs Into the opposition of the confirma
tion of General Leonard Wood to be
Major-General in the Army, was begun
today and the hearing, so far as it has
gone, was behind closed doors. Before
closing the doors there were exchanges of
opinion concerning the propriety of mak
ing the proceedings public. The point
was raised by Senator Quarles and several
other members of the committee, and was
sustained by all of them, they taking
the position that as all of the business
was executive In character, the commit
tee had no right to make it public with
out first securing an order from the Sen
ate. Senator Scott made a plea for open
sessions during the hearing.
"It will all be In the evening papers any
how." he said, "and I think it better to
have an authorized report than to try to
hide the proceedings."
Others said they had no objection to
publicity, but contended that the commit
tee could not itself assume authority to
open the doors to the press.
In addition to the members of the com
mittee and the newspaper men, Senators
Hanna and Teller and Major Estes G.
Rathbone were present, the three last
named being prepared to present objec
tions to General Wood's confirmation. It
was stated that no charges had yet been
filed against the General, but Senator
Proctor, who presided, said he un
derstood that Major Rathbone would pre
sent such charges.
Senator Hanna's protest dealt prin
cipally with his active interest in behalf
of Mr. Rathbone, when he was under pros
ecution for malfeasance In office, as Di
rector of posts for Cuba in 1900, and in
subsequent years. Ho said General
Wood's requirement that Rathbone should
give a cash bond of $25,000 In American
gold when he was first arrested was be
yond all reason. In view of the fact that
the amount he was charged with misap
propriating was only about 5000, and he
contended that a man who would be so
unjust and so unfair under the circum
stances should not be Intrusted with high
command. He also spoke of his long ac
quaintance -with Major Rathbone, and re
Iterated his confidence in his integrity.
Senator Teller said he had known Ma
jor Rathbone for many years, and from
his knowledge of him, both In public and
private life, ho felt the Major had been
unjustly treated under the directions of
General Wood. He then took up the ques
tion of the promotion of General Wood,
and went Into details to show that he had
been pressed forward In an unprecedent
ed manner." He said that from the time
of the beginning of the Cuban War, when
General Wood was a surgeon with the
rank of Captain, he had been lifted over
the head of almost 600 other officers, of
whom half had seen service in the Civil
War.
The committee will continue Its sessions
tomorrow.
Candidate for Bench Under Fire.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Charges have
been filed with Attorney-General Knox
supposed to reflect on the character of J.
C. Pollock, of the Kansas Supreme Court
bench. Judge Pollock Is one of the several
candidates for the vacancy on the Federal
bench of that state caused by the promo
tion of United States District Judge Will
iam Hook. At a meeting of the Kansas
delegation in Congress today, called for
the purpose of recommending a successor
to Judge Hook, the charges against Judge
Pollock were alluded to and postponement
of action taken until Saturday, that Judge
Pollock might have opportunity to present
an answer to the charges. The charges
have not been laid before the delegation.
STILL FIGHT THE SHIP TRUST.
Bondholders Do Not Take Kindly to
Proposed Settlement.
NEW YORK .Nov. 19. Interests repre
senting the bondholders who caused an
Investigation to be made of the United
States Shipbuilding Company said today
that the application for a permanent re
ceiver for the company filed by the Mer
cantile Trust Company at Trenton yes
terday, was an entirely separate proceed
ing from the Untermeyor Investigation.
An authoritative statement was given
today to the effect that the present talk
of a settlement was Incorrect and the
bondholders represented by Mr. Unter
meyer would not consent to a settlement
of their case against the shipbuilding
company unless all the bondholders, in
cluding those who have subscribed to the
Sheldon plan, should be permitted to
share in a "just and equitable plan of reorganization."
Conversion of Steel-Trust Stock.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Judge E. H.
Gary, chairman of the Board of Directors
of the United States Steel Corporation.- to
day gave out a statement in regard to
the syndicate contract for the conversion
of steel preferred stock into second-mortgage
5-per-cent bonds, saying no further
conversion of preferred stock beyond the
amount of 5150,000,000, the amount al
ready converted, would be made, and the
syndicate contract would be terminated at
this figure. Already 51,358,500 worth of
bonds have been issued in exchange for
stock.
Denial was made by a high official of
the report that a new syndicate was to
be formed to take over the United States
Steel Corporation's bond operations. The
existing syndicate. It was added, would
continue until It expired by limitation In
July, 19H.
Old Employes Share In Profits.
CHICAGO.-Nov.19. Faithful employes of

more with the McCormlck Company will
receive certificates of stock, par value 5100,

nection with the company. This action Is
taken as recognition of the "co-operation
which was uniformly rendered by the em
ployes to the management."
Dissolution of Steel Syndicate.

United States Steel Preferred Stock Con
version Syndicate have been notified that

STYLISH SHIRTWAISTS
FOR HALF
Fashionable $5.50 Winter Shirtwaists, $2.63
Actually the most wonderful sale of Shirtwaists held in Port
land since that one, which must still linger green in the minds
of Portland women, held more than a year ago by this store;
when women surged thro' the broad aisles of the Women's Wear
Salons and fairly fought for possession of the coveted waists.
The values here today are even greater than then. The Winter
Shirtwaist Girl may outdo her Summer sister in beauty and ele
gance at little cost. Rich, superb, heavy, imported English mer
cerized cheviots and cottons that for richness rival silk, with all
the appearance and beauty of silk, but with treble the wear of
that fabric; white grounds with white and colored lined and
squared figured patterns in black, green and blue colorings.
These aristocrats of the shirtwaist family have fancy stocks or
stock collar, with tie, separate from waist. The quality is lim
itedwe hope enough to last all day but, with the memory of
that former sale in mind, we advise every shirtwaist woman and
girl in Portland to be here this morning at the stroke of "ready''
8 o'clock. The values are $5 and $5.50 the price today only
is $2.63.

Chicago Tribune.
As suggestive of the fact that Govern
ment ownership of a monopoly cannot be
always representative of the best of ev
erything In the administration of that
monopoly, the United States Postal De
partment on several occasions has served
as an Illuminating example. That In one
marked respect at the present time it is
falling short of the commonest measures
of precaution and safety with reference
to both Its men and Its malls 13 to be seen
In the operation of the railway postal
system.
Twenty-flve years ago the traveling
public "began to realize from the net show
ing of railway wrecks and collisions that
a considerable element of safety lay sim
ply In the solid, massive construction of
the sleeping-car. As compared to the ordi
nary day coach In a head-on collision, the
passenger In the sleeper had many
chances for life over the passenger In
the other vehicle. When the vestibule at
tachment to the sleeper was perfected the
public safety again was contributed to in
marked degree, and, finally, when it was
discovered that "a fast train, vesUbuled
from end to end, virtually could not be
telescoped under ordinary conditions of
wreck the railroad companies were quick
to make every passenger coach In the
train thus Immune, so that today the
limited trains on a railroad virtually are
made up of one coach measuring from the
baggagp-car backward.
But forward of the baggage-car? There
is the example of Governmental short
sightedness which seems economically In
excusable. Under the ordinary conditions
of making up a through train anywhere
on the continent there is, first, the pre
ponderlng weight of the train In the pas
senger section of solid vestlbuled sleepers
trailing at the end. In front there is a
mighty locomotive, built for speed and
weighing perhaps 120 tons. Between there
may be two, or three, or four mall cars,
built of the flimsiest pattern of wood,
lacking the vestibule connections that
make for safety, and rolling there be
tween the weight of the train and the
might of the locomolve, ready to crush
Into matchwood at the impact of collision.
