POOR PROSPECT WITH TAFT Even it Bourne Gvti Xante Before Senate, Young's Topullst Record Would Kill Him: Incurred HiulicocWs Enmity. Oi:KG N"I.N NHWS BL REAl". Wuh Inston. Jan. 2!.-Witli Senator Fulton blockinc the whv there is not one c.ianee In a hundred that John C. Young can ba conllrmed as postmaster of Portland prior to March 4. Whether he can se cure another nomination after that date. t the hands of President Taft, whom he belittled In a." published letter, la a question for further determination. Mr. Fulton Is confident that his objec tion Is sufficient to prevent Mr. Young's confirmation; Senator Bourne Is Inclined to a contrary view, but the Junior Sen ator is not fully versed in the various ramifications of that mysterious thing known, as Senatorial courtesy." Whatever may happen to Mr. Young between now and March 4 the outcome will be a demonstration of the relative standing in the Senate of the Oregon Senators. The Issue Is clearly joined be tween them, and there must be a test of strength, unless one or the other sur renders and from the present look of thingshere Is no compromise In the air. Keep Affair In Committee. The nomination of Mr. Young to pend ing before the committee on postoftiees. held there by the request of Mr. Kul ton. Mr. Bourno Is a member of that committee. bt he fills the place given him by Mr. Kulton a year o. He has rot nerved as Ion on that committee as did Mr. Fulton before he voluntarily re tired and therefore he la not as well acquainted with Its members as Is his senior colleague. In all probability, Mr. Fulton will al low the nomination to remain In the piwstofrtce committee unacted upon, rather than have it reported and force a fight In the Senate. This is good tactics, and far the surer plan. If the nomination remains in committee, individual mem bers of the Senate will not be called upon to vote upon It. So Ions as the committee falls to report, the Senate has no oci-asion for taking any action what ever, and Senators are relieved of the embarrassment that would confront them fhould a light be forced In executive ses sion. Of course Mr. Bourne will endeavor to exert his Influence as a member of the postofflce committee to get a report on j!r. Young's nomination. He will set lip the claim that he has the sole right of selecting the Portland postmaster, and his choice havtrwr been approved by the President, he will Insist that the name be laid before tho Senate for a vote. It Is at this Juncture that Mr. Bourne 1 likely to run against "Senatorial cour tesy." He will probably And that Chair man Penrose, who is nonnuMi of an ad mirer of President Roosevelt nor much of a believer In the principles of a pri mary law whli-h will compel a Repub lican Tirjrislatiire to elect a Democrat to t'ne I'nited States Senate, will have . a multitude of excuses for failing to re port the nomination of Mr. Youns. What "Mr Penrose's objections will be no one can tell, but they will be sufficient to Justify the chairman in falling to act in ac-cord.-mce with the wishes of the Junior Senator from Oregon, when those wishes fail to coincide with the desires of the senior Senator from that State. Senate Would Be Hostile. Tf Mr. Young's nomination should be reported, even though the report of the committee be adverse. Mr. Bourne could call It up in executive session and de mand a vote. Should such a contingency arise, however, the junior Senator would be called upon to defend hia man and It Is well known that he Is not a public speaker nor Inclined to oratory. If he should not speak his silence would he pitted against the objections which JI;. Fulton would voice, and those objections, in the opinion of those competent lo J'idc would be ample to Justify a Re publican Senate in voting down the nom ination. ' Only a short time ago Senator Depcw let It be known that the Senate up to March 4 intended to scrutinize carefully all Important nominations made by the President and to reject those found ob jectionable. There are a large number of Senators eacer to vote against Mr. F.oos-relt. and this contingent would un questionably line up against Mr. Young if it should be explained by Mr. Fulton that Mr. Young has until recently been a populist, and that he was a staunch worker In the cause of the Oregon pri mary law a law that has no defenders In the Inlted States Senate, save the one member of that body chosen through Its operation. The Senate, as a whole, looks upv" the . law a a ridiculous measure, and would welcome an oppor tunity of recording its opinion of those lio supiorted It. But the. probabilities are that Mr. Young's nomination will be allowed to a in the rostoffice committee. wher It will die with the expiration of tiie Congress on juarcn i.. ti.at nvoTit Mr. Bourne will be compelled to go to I"resident Taft, who has been apprised oi me loung lenn denouncing him as a weakling, and ask the new President to give Mr. Young the most lucrative Federal office in Oregon. Now there la this to be remembered the President, in appointing postmaster, confers with his Postmaster-General. It Is known that Mr. Young would never have been nominated In the first Instance had Postmaster-General Meyer known of the Young letter denouncing Mr. Taft. How much more bitterly, then, will Mr. iit.i,n.u.L- f..i towards Mr. Youmr. for tMe relations between Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Taft are much closer man me re lations between Mr. Meyer and Mr. Koosevelt. and moreover. Mr. Hitchcock tiaa not forgotten that It was through Mr. Bourne he nearly lost his ofrtce of First Assistant Postmaster-General some thing more than a year ago.

Calls Attention to Abandoned Child, Leads Kind Man to It, Then Runs Away. BROOKLYN'. Jan. 25. (Special.) So far as Samuel Segal knew, there had never been a dog attached to any of the fami lies who live at 207 Sheffield avenue. And nothing could have been much more dis turbing to a weary Brooklyn man than to have his right to enter his flat andS go to bed challenged by a dog with an aggres sively nervous growl. Mr. Segal stopped short in his tracks and lighted a match. From the back of the front hall the growl rolled out again. In the flickering light he could see the animal's excited eyes glaring at him. Segal moved toward the stairs. The dog made no objection. Segal reached dressed him again.- This time It was not a growl, but an appealing whine, and a sharp yelp, as of distress. Segal lighted another match and leaned over the stalr rail. He could see the dog more plainly this time. It was a yellow cur with lop ears and a most raggedly unaristocratio tail, neither smooth nor long-haired. The dog was trotting back and forth In a little circle in the snow which had drifted through the open door into the hall. There was a little circular track marked out by Its circuit. In the center was a bundle almost covered with snow. The dog had been running around and around the bundle apparently, but now, looking up at Segal, whining, with eyes upturned, he was making only the half circuits. Segal went up to his flat, and got a candle and, protecting it from the draught, cautiously approached the back door of the front hall. The yellow dog growled again as he approached and so menacingly that Segal retreated. .But before he could reach the stairs, the dog was bounding at him with wagging tail and short barks, running back to the bundle. Segal took courage of curiosity and returned!. Tne dog trotted back and sat over the bundle. Sgal leared down and touched the clojli on which the snow was drifting. The Clog growled. Segal drew back his ua ti, Ancr whined. Seeal looked at the dog cocked his head on one side and looked long and searchingly into Segals eyes and then tipped his head to the other side and took another look; apparently he liked what he saw. He wagged his tall. Segal picked up the bundle. It was a baby, only a few days old. He rested it on his arm and ran his hand under tne wraps. The legs and the lower part of the body were quite cold. And no wonder. For the tiny boy's only wraps were a swathing of" surgeon's gauze in three or four thicknesses, a pair of pink wool bootees, a pink and white cheeked flannel dress made for a much langer child apparently, and a Tarn o' Shanter knit hat of blue and white silk and worsted. Segal bent his head and laid his ear over the little baby's heart. It was still beating, but very faintly. The man ripped open his coat and walsftoat and put the baby as close to his own warm, comfortable body as he could and ran up the stairs to his flat. The yellow cur followed at his heels, but was shut out In the hall to scratch at the door and whine. A policeman was sent for. After the Segals had wrapped the baby In an extra blanket it was taken over to the Liberty avenue police station and put in care of Matron Minnie V. Lynch, who later took It to the Brooklyn Foundlings' Nursery, at No. 592 Atlantic avenue. Today Mrs. Ulrich, who mothers the foundings, was able to announce that the baby had come out of Its chill stupor and was showing great evidences of appetite. The yellow dog was chased out of the station when the baby was put in Matron Lynch's care. But when she came out to go downtown with the baby in her arms the dog followed along after the patrol wagon, falling behind more and more un til she lost sight of him.
