GOVERNOR TO HOLD

Will Not Resign Exec

If Not Seated as Senator He

When Elected Governor, Chamber

Did Not .Resign When Away

SAI.RM. Or.. Jan. 26. 9peclal
Ueorsre E. Chamberlain will never resign
the Governorship. Such is the word that
been passed around the Capitol, and
It seems to come from an authoritative
nunf . He hag not said that he will
re.ign. What he has said .Is that he
will he In atiendance'at the tlrst session
ft Conrc after hks election as Benator.
Instead of resigning the office of Gov
rrn.ir. he will let hl acceptance of the
i fftre of Senator act a a acatlon of the
rfi-e of Governor. There will not be a
fra.-tion of a second of time between hla
asii.a to he Governor and his becoming
H tiator. If his credentials should be
presented In the Senate and he should
l -denied a seat, he would continue to
t Governor. If ho should he seated and
li ! declared afterward that he had been
I ii properly seated, he would resume the
ffi--.- of Governor, since he would not
l ave vacated that office.
Pursued fours Before.
That was the course the Governor pur
mc.J !irn he was elected chief executive
the first time. I la was then District At
torney In Multnomah County, and there
were many who insisted that he resign
the office of District Attorney before
taking the office of Governor. This he
refused to do. but let his acceptance of
the office of Governor have the effect
i.f vacating: the District Attorney's office.
If anything had occurred to prevent his
Inauguration, he would have remained In
the- office of Plstrlct Attorney.
Governor Chamberlain Is taking no
chances. He thinks he does not need t".
Not that he will admit there Is any dan
ger of his bcltur refused a seat In the
tnate. but that he sees no reason for
nuittlng one position until he has been
safely Installed In the other. Perhaps he
feels, too. that his position as Governor
strengthens the chance of his being ac
corded a seat in the Senate if there should
he any doubt about it. for. there would
be lets reason to question his admission
to the Senate If it were knowp that he
would continue as Governor If refused a
scat.
Cannot Be Compelled to Resign.
If the Senate should refuse to seat him
as Senator until he had resigned hts of
fice as Governor, he could file a resig
nation to take effect upon his becoming
Senator, by which means his accession
to the Senatorship would operate to end
his incumbency as Governor. In any
view of the situation, the Governor does
not see- the need of resigning before he
becomes Senator, and there appears to be
no way in which he could be compelled
to step oit of one office before he steps
into anather. even If someone desired to
make such an effort.
It has always been held In practice,
though the question has never been de
termined by the courts, that absence of
the Governor from the state does not
constitute such a disability as to vest
the executive authority In the Secretary
.f State. It has) been the practice for
the Governor's private secretary to sign
the Governor's name In his absence, oven
to documents as Important as extradition
papers. That beinif true. It la quite likely
that after-Governor Chamberlain leaves
Oregon for Washington. I. C., to take
the office of Sepator, his private secre
tary. W. N. Galen, will continue to run
the office of Governor in the usual
manner.

A'ew York Prosecutor Willing to Act
If Government Steps Aside and
C. P. Tart and Robinson
Complain to Him.
"BV TORK, Jan. 26. Tlve possibility
of the Federal authorities having to stand
aside to permit the State and County of
New York to proceed against the pub
lishers of the New York "World for al
leged libel In connection with the Panama
purchase was made apparent today In a
letter written by District Attorney
Jerome to United States District Attor
ney Henry 1 Stlmson.
Provided Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law
of the President. Is willing to appear
as a complaining witness, Mr. Jerome Is
readv, the letter states, to bring action
at once in the slate courts. It would be
useless for him to do so. he explains, if
his Inquiry is not given precedence over
that begun by the Federal grand Jury.
Plain I.ibcl on Two Men.
"I have given the matter published in
the New York World of October 3, 1908,
careful consideration," the letter says,
"and I am of the opinion that it Is
plainly a libel upon Charles P. Taft and
Douglas Robinson, assuming, of course,
that it is untrue as to the syndicate men
tioned therein and their alleged connec
tion therewith. Under the law of this
state its publication Is a crime and, as
It was published In the County of New
York, It Is my duty under certain cir
cumstances to prosecute those responsible
for the publication.
The publication has a much wider
general Importance than Is found in most
libels. It in substance charges that by
corrupt and dishonorable, if not criminal
means, the treasury of the United States
was depleted to the extent of 36,500,000
through the connivance, to give It no
harsher description, of some of the chief
officers of the state and that this great
sum was "divided among ' Government
favorite In the world of politics and
finance.' "
Mr. Jerome expresses his conviction
that ao serious a charge should not pass
unchallenged and that adequate Justifica
tion should be snown or those making it
be properly punished.
Offense Against State.
"From this point of view," the letter
continues, "the Federal authorities, it

CHICAGO. Jan. 2S.Speclal.) The old
story that Judge Peter S. Grosscup in

know that Mr. Calhoun stands high with
the authorities at Washington."
Mr. Calhoun said:
"I have heard rumors for eome time
that Judge Grosscup was going to resign,
but whether he has done so or not, I
don't know. I have no Information as to
what would be done in case he should

Judge Grosscup rendered the decision

MADISON", Wis., Jan. 26. (Special.)
By filing specific charges of bribery,
corruption and fraud in the Septem
ber election campaign by United States
Senator Stephenson, State Senator John
J. Blaine, of Boscobel, leader of the
antl-Stephenson men, today Induced a
majority of the State Senators to vote
for legislative investigation, prevented
the Marinette millionaire from secur
ing1 a majority of votes in the upper
house, and placed his re-election in
joint assembly at noon tomorrow in
considerable, if not extreme doubt.
Stephenson Fears Defection.
The Stephenson forces tonight are
feeling hopeful, but not happy. They
fear that the antl-Stephenson men may,
during the night, win some of their
men over to the opposition. The Steph
enson forces had only a majority of
five votes on the ballots- taken sepa
rately in the two houses today. If they
lose more than five votes before the
time for the joint ballot tomorrow, Mr.
Stephenson cannot secure the election
at that time, and the contest may de
velop Into a political fight which has
had few parallels in this state.
Has More Than, Enough.
In the Senate, 12 members voted for
Mr. Stephenson on the motion to elect
a Senator. The other Republican mem
bers voted blank, and the minority
party members voted for their particu
lar candidates. In the lower house,
Mr. Stephenson received 60 votes.
while five scattered their votes, 15 Re
publicans voted blank, one Republi
can was absent and the remaining
members, who are Democrats and So
cialists, voted for their party nomi
nees. This gave Stephenson a total of
72 votes In both houses. It requires
67 to elect.
Break With La Follette.
The contest in a nutshell Is between
the two elements of the Republican
party, one led by Senator La Follette
and the other by Senator Stephenson
and Governor Davidson. Mr. La Fol

Tragedy of Lonely rro.pector Sus
pected Near Wallace, Where
Shots Were Heard.
WALLACE. Idaho. Jan. 26. Because a
dog has been haunting a certain spot In
the Slate Creek district of the Coeur
d'Alenes for the past two years and
howling at night, local forest reserve
men have organized a searching party
and will start tomorrow to explore the
snowy wastes to see what they can find.
It is generally believed that a miner or
prospector has been killed and that his
faithful dog is guarding what remains of
the body.
This belief is strengthened by a report
made by a sportsman who says that as
he was passing the place the dog now
haunts some two years ago he heard a
fusillade of 25 or 30 shots. He was on a
fishing trip at the time and did not stop
to investigate.
All attempts to coax the dog away from
the locality have failed, and the animal
Us nearly wild. It Is supposed that It

LONDON, Jan. 26. (Special. ) The
Tokyo correspondent of the Standard
relates a scandal, indirectly Involving
the imperial house ot Japan, which is
causing a great stir In the Japanese
capital.
Count Todo. 21 years old, was sent to
Kngland two years ago to complete his
education, and while there married a
woman of Hungarian birth, Mrs. Klena
Addison, 29 years old, widow of an
Knglishman. ' Tne Count's family, upon
learning this, peremptorily ordered him
to return to Japan. He did so, leaving
his wife in Entcland.
When he arrived home he found his
family, which shares the traditional
aristocratic repugnance to mixed mar
riages, had In his absence started nego
tiations for his marriage to Princess
Take, member of a collateral branch of
the Imperial family. The Count's di
vorce from his English wife was imme
diately resolved upon.
This was comparatively easy In Japan.
The Count secured a divorce without con
sulting his wife. As Boon as free he
formally applied for the Trim-ess Take's
hand and the Emperor sanctioned the al
liance. Congratulations were pouring in
upon the Todos, when an editor of a
Tokio newspaper, hearing the facts, print

General consternation followed. The
