TIE HUGE NOW
Friends Urge Appointment as
United States District
Judge.
JUDGE BEAN, OF SALEM, TOO
Senator Fulton Says Xothlnc as .to
Recommendation, and United
States Attorney Heney Is
Not for Anyone.
Gordon G. Gamraans, of the law firm of
Gammans & Malarkejr. of Portland, may
be the next Federal Judge for the District
of Oregon, to nil the place left vacant by
the death of Judge Bellinger and the res
ignation of W. TV. Cotton, the appointee,
provide'd his friends are able to convince
the Department of Justice and the Presi
dent that he Is the man for the place,
Mr. Gammans Is a man who has just
come into the race, but he Is recognized
by those who know him to be an eligible
man for the position. He Is a man of
legal mind and Judicial tendencies, and of
experience. Many friends in Portland and
throughout the state are Interesting them
selves In his behalf, and have hopes that
he will be prominently in the running
when the end of the course is reached.
Judge Bean, of Salem.
Judge Bean, of Salem. Is still being
placed before the department by his
friends throughout the state. Since the
first telegrams were .ent out, some days
ago. from Portland lawyers, others have
been written In different district, and, af
ter being signed by many of tht. promi
nent lawyers and business men of the cit
ies, have been sent to the President and
the department.
Senator Fulton was in the city yester
day and the day before, and It Is thought
that he was here to Investigate the Judge
ship question more than he has done be
fore, but he left the city without making
any statement on the subject.
It is commonly supposed jthat United
States District Attorney Heney will have
a great deal to do with the appointment
of the Judge to sit upon the Federal
Bench In Oregon, but Mr. Heney says he
wishes to keep bis hands off. It is argued
that Mr. Heney has a great deal of influ
ence with President Roosevelt, and that
his recommendation would make or mar
the chances of any candidate.
Heney Takes Different View.
Mr. Heney takes a different view of the
question, however. He does not want to
take any hand in the appointment one
way or the other, so long as a good and
capable and reputable man is named for
the place. The District Attorney argues
that It is an Oregon position, and it is of
interest to Oregon and the people of the
state. The official, when he is appointed,
will be an Oregon man, who will deal with
Oregon problems, and for all of these
reasons Mr. Heney contends that It Is not
the place of some one from California, or
any other state, to dictate In any degree
who shall be the roan to fill the office.
He will, therefore, keep out of the discus
sion, and will take no part In any way,
unless the man who Is ultimately about to
be chosen Is someone unfit for the place.
In that event, Mr. Heney would- consider
it to be his duty to interfere in the ap
pointment and to notify the President that
an unfit man was about to be given the
place.
"fc one In Portland seems to know a
thing new about lue controversy, and It
is not expected that any disclosures will
be made until the time comes that the
appointment will be made by President
Hoosevelt and Attorney-General Moody.
USES AIR -SLACKED LIME
Resident Suggests Defense Against
Ravages of the Army Worm.
The army worms that are ravaging sec
tions In Eastern Multnomah County, have
invaded the gardens of Portland. Francis
D. Morrison, of TVoodlawn, reports that
a swarm of the worms went through. his
garden one night last week, laying It
completely bare. Fuchsias were also at
tacked. In Brooklyn several gardens have
been attacked, but In one placo on East
Ninth street a lot of unslacked lime saved
a garden after one portion had been at
tacked and destroyed.
A resident of Brooklyn noticed that
beans wore withering and that the leaves
were being riddled, and also that
.tomato plants were not thriving. He
procured a quantity of lime, allowing It
to become alr-slacked, and he covered the
plants and the ground with It. with the
result that 'the untouched portion of the
beans were saved and the tomato plants
soon revived and are growing finely.
RAZING A PIONEER CHURCH
Jefferson-Street Edifice "Withstood
Big Plre of 1873.
TVorkmen are engaged in tearing down
the old Congregational Church, at the
northwest corner of Second and Jefferson
streets, which was erected about 35 years
ago. It is a frame structure with a tall
steeple, and recently haB been used as a
meeting place for" independent religious
denominations. This building is one of
.the few which withstood the disastrous
lire 'in August, 1S73, which devastated
Front. First and Second streets, in that
neighborhood. The timbers will be used
to erect a new structure at the corner of
First and Hall streets, the building permit
for which was issued' yesterday, and
which is to be erected at a cost of 51500.
