18 THE 3IORXTXO OREGONIA2. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1907. SENATE COURTESY HELD RESPONSIBLE Resignation "of Judge Wicker sham Result of Two Sen ators' Attacks. CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED Senators Kelson and McCumber Be come Hostile to Alaska Judge and Try Their Ctmoat to Oust Him They Partly Bucceed. OREGONIAN XB&i BUREAU. Wash ington, Oct. resignation of Judge James 'WickgBpham, of Alaska, puts an end to one of the bitterest and at the same time one o( the most unjust patron age flffhu that was ever taken on to the floor of the United States Senate. The Wickersham case is an extreme example of the wrong that can be done by the abuse of Senatorial power; Its culmination Is a reflection upon the Senate. It Is a fight closed by the accused because he preferred to retire rather than prolong a controversy in which might was bound to triumph over right so long as the Senate adheres to Its rule of so-called "Sena torial courtesy." Judge "Wickersham was appointed orig inally by PreMdent McKlnley and served four years with credit to himself and to the Administration, but in that time he Incurred the 111 will of powerful mining Interests in Alaska, and those interests, like similar Interests in the States, had a jiull in the Senate. When President Koosevelt reappointed Judge Wickersham in 19M his intention was held up In the Senate by Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, end Senator McCumber, of North Dakota. Nelson and McCumber, to make their protest 6tick, preferred charges against Wickersham, and while those charges Were ponding the Senate was not. willing to act Those' charges served to prevent In liM his nomination was held up In the "Winter of 1901-5. But the charges were ent to the Judge, and a year later, when his nomination went to the Senate, the answer was1 ready. And It was convinc ing to most men, but not to Nelson and JiteCumber. Meantime they had accumu lated new charges, and that served as a pretext for delaying confirmation for an other 12 months. Kelson and McCumber Are Active. The President took no stock In the charges, for he gave Wickersham a re appointment each time Congress ad journed, and when it convened the follow ing Winter he sent In Wlckersham's nom ination. But each time the nomination was called up Nelson and McCumber had new oharges to prefer. They painted Wickersham as a bold, bad man. and the Senate, which has a tender regard for the wishes of most members of that august body, would not think of confirm ing an Alaska Judge If his confirmation was objectionable to those two apostles of honor, Messrs. Nelson and McCumber. In season and out. Judge Wickersham was called upon many times to answer the oharges of Nelson and McCumber, arid each time? he answered In a way that satisfied President Roosevelt and satis fied almoBt every other member of the Senate. But he never satisfied Nelson or McCumber. Out of abundance of precau tion President Roosevelt sent one of the best men In the Department of Justice to Alaska to make personal Investigation on the ground into all charges against Judge Wickersham, whether preferred by Nelson and" McCumber or by others. The report was a complete vindication of Wicker sham, and the President accepted the word and the Judgment of thle repre sentative in preference to the word of Senators Nelson and McCumber. He was satisfied that Wickersham was the victim of persecution, and so far as lay within lits power he proposed to give Wicker sham a square deal. Of course he could not force the Senate to confirm the judge, but ho could do practically the same thing in effect he could nominate him at the opening of each session of Congress and reappoint him upon adjournment, thus Tetnlnlng him continuously on the bench. Anil that Is what he did, and what he promised to do to the end of his term unless tho Senate, in the meantime, treated Wickersham fairly. Case Never Comes to Vote. Put the Wickersham case was never given fair consideration in the Senate. Seldom was it discussed In executive session; never was it allowed to come to a vote. Had It been put to vote Wickersham would have been confirmed by an almost unanimous vote, for there were few Senators who would have voted with Nelson and McCumber: some might rave done so out of friendship for the Senators, but not many. But Nelson and McCumber knew very well they could never beat Wickersham In a fair fight; they knew the Senate would never vote to reject his nomination; so they resorted to cowardly tactics; they fought Wick ersham from ambush and to the extent that they prevented his confirmation. they won out. But they failed of their main purpose in that they could not get Wickersham off Vie bench. That was a thorn in their side. They found them nelves between two Urea. They knew the Senate would not back them up on a vote; they knew the President, after careful investigation of the facts, would never be prejudiced against Wickersham by their trumped-up charges, so they made a dogged fight Which availed them .nothing. ' No lawyer of merit can afford to spend the best years of his life fighting for vindication, when his enemies hold the commanding card that stands between Mm ancT-the vindication he seeks. Judge Wickersham saw that, no matter how friendly the President might be, there was no way of changing his status as long as Nelson and McCumber persisted lrr their filibuster, so he decided to end It all and resign. Nelson and McCumber will now be satisfied, to some extent. though not nearly as well satisfied as If they could have Induced the President to abandon Wickersham, or as If they could have Induced the Senate to reject his nomination. Theirs Is not a whole some victory. But their fight stands as a reminder of what wrongs can be done In the name of Senatorial courtesy. In justice and unfairness alone, due to per sonal prejudice on the paTt of two Sen ators, is all that prevented the confirma tion of Judge Wickersham. Perhaps the ickersham case may serve as a warn ing to other Alaskan Judges not to de cide ngnlnst friends of Senators Nelson and McCumber. It Is as much as an Alaskan Judge's reputation Is worth to tread upon the toes of friends of these two Senators. Great is. tho might of the members of the Senate, for in that body. wnen operating Denma closed doors. mignt is right. Vancouver Barrack Xotes. VAXCOUVHR BARRACKS. Wash Oct. 4. (Special.)

CHICAGO, Sept. 29. Trouble of an aggravated form broke out among the State of Washington boosters one young- woman and one married woman at Loncoln Park yesterday after noon, and the party broke up and re treated to the Sherman House In con fusion. The cause well, the reader must Judge. There were no signs of discord unui Miss Kincald. of Douglas County, a vivacious blonde, had her picture taken while holding a paw of the huge lion at the zoo, and Miss Anna Level, daugh ter of the Lincoln County Sheriff, and Miss Mabel Simmons got a man a Chi cago product, at that and went off by themselves. Mrs. Howard Bramwell, of Whitman County, chaperon, was considerably vexed, but Philip S. Bates, of Portland, Or., payer of all expenses or the trip and thoroughly experienced In woman kind, only smiled, and thereby proved himself a thorough diplomat. Miss Kincald's monopolizing; the at tention of Cy De Vry, head animal trainer, might have acted as an In centive for Jealousy, it is said, but the girls would not acknowledge it. The sentiments of the majority were ex pressed when Miss Mabel Simmons, of Cheian County said: "Whitman and Douglas Counties were getting all the good things published and It would look to the home people as though the rest weren't working." In the party are girls of all sorts, and with their cowboy hats and red neck scarfs they are a fetching looking lot. But when arranged for dinner, with white frocks, they appear the same as the typical Chicago girl. During the trip to the Jamestown exposition every girl In the crowd has received from three to a dozen pro posals of marriage, both verbal and written. When one of the silly love missives fell Into the hands of an outsider there was a scene.- Miss Irma Dunford, of Benton County, finally gained posses sion of the writing by pleading: "Please let me have It. we don't want our home fellows to think we have been flirting. We have simply been having a good time." Miss Stella Perkins, of Whitman County, daughter of James A. Perkins, president and principal owner of the Bank of Colfax, and who has a big ranch In her own right, expressed her self freely on the man question: "We are considerably short of them out in our country," she said, "not for matrimonial purposes, but for business reasons. People in the Cast think that out our way there are nothing but cow boys and Reubens and women who are always clad In wrappers. "They would be surprised to know we have our Interurban electrics the same as Chicago. There are no dudes in our section, 'but a few cigarette fiends are In evidence. Don't you know that we have the better element of man hood? The Western man may be a bit uncouth and rough and ready, but he Is more gallant and has a far greater admiration and respect for woman that the Eastern young fellow." Frank M. Woodruff, assistant curator at the Academy of Science, was trying to interest the girl in the huge mam moth In the Academy of Science. They were there for perhaps two minutes when Miss Lilian Clark, of Walla Walla County, blurted out Impatiently: "O, show us the live ones, the dead ones are not interesting." "Oh, the dear little squirrel," shout ed Miss Lillian Ausman; of Asotin County, as she fed the animal a hand ful of peanuts. "We have these, but they are wild, and we have live elk, deer and porcupine, and not dead ones like those inside." "Oh, you sweet thing," said Miss Kin cald to a zebra Just as that frisky ani mal shot its hind legs against the wire netting, "you remind me of a bucking broncho." When Interest in animals became ex hausted, man again became the topic of conversation. "Say, you Chicagoans have New Yorkers skinned a mile," said Miss DunXord. 'Ton ought to see those fellows barely touch the fingers of your hand In sissy fashion as they say 'How de.' You men here take a good grab and put feeling into it Those Easterners are Icicles." a "I never stood in a streetcar until I came East," said Miss Grace Crooks "But I am not complaining about Chi cago. Your city Is a whole lot like my home town." Miss Level is small and looks like an ordinary Eastern society girl In evening attire. In her street costume she shows the swagger of an athlete. Miss Dunford owns a big ranch, is first-class stenographer and earns $6 a day keeping the court records of Ben ton County. She Is the champion lariat thrower of her section and yesterday afternoon Issued a challenge to one Kodgers, doing stunts at a local theater, to best him -in a ropine con test.

For some time the forest service has been making an important series of tests at Seattle to determine the strength of Western hemlock. The work has been done at the Washington State University, and the material used was obtained through the co-operation of a number of "lumber manufacturers. The most of it was cut upon the" western slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Ore gon. The beams selected for the tests are 16 feet long, and 8 by 16 inches In sec tion. Forty-five of them were tested In the green state, and an equal number will be air-dried and then submitted to the test to see what loads they will carry. The results of these tests will show the comparative strength of the two classes of material. The Introduction of western hemlock as a structural timber has met with con siderable opposition. The prejudice against It is chiefly on account of its name. It has been looked upon as being in the same class with eastern hemlock, although-the two species differ consider ably In their mechanical and physical properties. So far as the tests have been completed the western hemlock has proved to be a first-class structural tim ber, suitable for all construction purposes except the heaviest kinds of buildings. At the same time the regular and even texture of the wood makes It suitable for flooring, moldings, paneling and Inside .finish. GOTO Mil TAKEN Japanese Steamer to Carry Out Wheat and Flour.
