Nomination as Postmaster Is
Likely to Die in Committee
at End of Session.
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.

SAMARITAN ROLE.
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.
