Striking at Fulton.
OPPOSES HIS JUDGESHIP
Protests to Taft Against Fulton's
Appointment, bat Senate lead
ers Rally to Fulton, While
Bourne Has One Backer.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Mar. 1. It Is apparent from the
action of the Senate in executive ses
sion today that John C. Young cannot
be confirmed as postmaster of Portland
before the expiration of Congress on
Thursday, when his nomlr atlon be
comes void. The nominations of all
.postmasters presented to. ay Tvere con
firmed save that of Mr. Young. When
his name -was read, Fulton asked that
It be laid aside without consideration.
Bourne was not present to protest,
and Fulton's requcs prevailed. Word
had been sent to Bourne, however, and
he bolted into the Senate and angrily
demanded that Mr. Young's name be
ca'led up and acted upon. Fulton then
rose and stated that before action was
taken he desired to present an array of
facts which, In his Judgmen... disquali
fied Mr. Young for postmaster. He
Intimated that he had much to say and
would require considerable time in pre
senting his case.
Xot Enough Time, Says Hale.
Mr. Hale then stated that i.e could
not consent to consider this case be
cause the Senate, with a great quantity
of public business demanding consid
eration, could not spare the. time.
Bourne protested s gainst thus being
set aside, . but the Senate . would not
listen to him.
The Senate Immediately threw open
Its doors and resumed consideration of
the sundry civil bill. As the full time
of the Senate will be occupied with ap
propriation bills from now until ad
journment. It 1- evident that the Senate
will not grant the time necessary for
the consideration of Mr. Young's con
firmation. Bourne Trying to Get Even.
Angered because Fulton refuses to
consent to the confirmation of Mr.
Young, Bourne Trill endeavor to "get
even" with his colleague. Already he
has gone to President-elect Taft to
protest against tho appointment of
Fulton to the new- Federal Judgeship
created by the bill which passed Con
gress Saturday. He Is bringing to
bear all the Influence at his command
to head off Fulton's appointment, and
It Is reported he has endeavored to en
list the co-operation of Francis J.
Heney.
TLere's another report .that Bourne
has urged upon President Roosevelt
to veto the bill, but such action would
convey tho- Impression that Mr. Roose
velt could not trust Mr. Taft to ap
point Federal Judges for Washington
and Oregon.
To offset Bourne's efforts, influential
Senators close to Mr. Taft are planning
to see the President-elect immediately
and to urge strongly the appointment
of Fulton. It Is understood that La
Follette Is the only Senator who will
Join Bourne in opposing Fulton.
OPEN DITCH FLOODS ECHO
Streets of City Inundated Before
Flow at Intake Shut Off.
PENDLETON, Or.. March 1. (Special.)
Echo Is flooded with water tonight as
a result of a break in the Government
ditch at that point. The break occurred
Just above the depot, and the water
rushed down the hill at a tremendous
speed. After the water was shut off at
the intake, oie mile and a half distant,
a heavy volume of water had yet to find
its way Into the streets.
A large portion of the town was pro
tected by the railroad grade, which
dammed and turned the flood. The school-
house, the scouring mill and the depot
were inundated with from two to three
feet of water. It Is not thought the
water will damage the railroad track to
' the extent or hindering trains.

Mexican Rancher Causes Wreck by
Anxiety for Fruit Shipments,
' GUADALAJARA. Mexico., March 1.
Jose Flores is in Jail at La Baraca,
charged with wrecking a train. He has
a plantation near Salamea and loading a
car with oranges, he demanded that the
Mexican Central remove it. As this was
not done 'he set the switch so that the
first on-coming train would run onto it
hoping -the. .train crew would take his

Palace Gambling House, Scene of
Many Spectacular Plays, Among
Buildings Destroyed.
RENO, Nov., March 1. Fire starting.
It Is supposed, from an overheated flue
In an upper room of the Arcade Hotel
on Commercial street at 3 o'clock this
afternoon quickly communicated to the
Palace Hotel and gambling house, owned
by Jim May, at the corner of Commercial
and Center streets, and In an hour the
old landmark and notorious gaming
place was on a level with the Arcade
Hotel, a mass of smoldering ruins.
Four men made a thrilling rescue of
Miss Pearl Foley, who had been asleep
In one of the rooms of the Palace. After
throwing several articles of value from
the window, she collapsed and lay help
less on the sill, while flames swirled be
hind her. Before a ladder could be
raised the men rushed forward and.
climbing one upon the other reached
Miss Foley and conveyed her to the
street through a flame-filled stairway.
The Palace gambling house has been
the scene of many spectacular plays, one
of the most noted being made by its
present owner, Jim May. One night two
years ago, after a run of hard luck
May put a $1000 bill on No. 4 on the
roulette wheel and won $35,000. In lieu
of cash he was given an interest in the
games, since which time he had ac
quired the building.
The Washoe saloon and restaurant, ad
Joining the Arcade on the west, was
wrecked and its contents destroyed. The
loss will approach 1100.000, partly covered
by insurance.
COURT UPHOLDS RATE LAW
Washington Railroad Commission
Has Power to Fix Charges.
OLYMPIA. Wash., March 1. The Rail
way Commission of this state, including
the power therein conferred upon the
Commission to fix railroad rates, was up
held by the Supreme Court today.. A con
stitutional question was raised by the
Great Northern in an appeal from the
Joint wheat rate order of the Commis
sion, that the power to fix rates is vested
solely In the Legislature by' the state
constitution. The court holds that the
Legislature, In expressing that the rate
shall be fair. Just, reasonable and suf
ficient, declares a law and that details
of working it out are merely adminis
trative and can . be delegated to com
mission. This Is In direct conflict with an
opinion rendered last Summer by Judge
C. H. Hanford in the Federal Court.
The Supreme Court also sustained the
constitutionality of that section of the
law authorizing the Commission to com
pel physical connections between com
peting railroads at Junction points.
KAISER FINDS HIS TONGUE

BERLIN, March 1. Emperor William

with the centenary of the foundation of

the glorious work done for the Father

tigue," he said. "It has prepared and
strengthened the Army eo that the mili
tary forces always have been capable of
fulfilling their great work as the strong
and unconquerable protector of the
Fatherland."

BUTTE, Mont., March 1. (Special.) A
unique Instance of a marriage license

cials if the license was still good. In

CHICAGO, March 1. (Special.) Bull
force yielded a bit in a tremendously ex
citing wheat market today, the bears be
ing backed up as In a secondary line by a
weaker market abroad and an inrush
of wheat from iarms and Interior
store-houses, especially In the North
west. It was a day to make the aver
age trader fearful, but Patten and his
associates seemed to to go through
the ordeal unafraid and still true to
the nag they have set up for them
selves. Prices Decline Slightly.
Net results of the -day's transac
tions In this market were a price loss
of 7-8 cents for May, 3-8 cents for
July and September and 1-8 cent for
December. Tonight the trade gener
ally Is expresing the view that the
slump in May wheat has not altered
in the slightest the broad situation on
which the activities of weeks have been
bullded. The day's set-back was mere
ly looked upon as more severe than
others before it, and those who have
made a close study of the Patten tac
tics believe this tumble . i be fol
lowed by a further marking up of
prices by the leading longs.
The cash situation was plainly not so
long as It was last week, although
there was no cheao wheat In sight.
There were indications in some quar
ters that mills are either getting filled
up ylth wheat or are running short of
orders for Winter-wheat flour on the
basis of current prices.
It is behoved that the Patten crowd
disposed of-a considerable line of May
and July wheat in the excitement to-

MAURETANIA 'GOING SOME'
Turbine Cunartler Breaking .Her
Own Eastward Record.
NEW YORK, March 1. From cable ad
vices received from Pastnet giving the
position of the turbine liner Mauretania
at 7 o'clock tonight at 358 miles west
of Queenstown it is apparent that unless
some accident causes the slacking of that
vessel's average speed, she will 'estab
lish a new record for t the eastward
voyage between this port and Queens
town. Up to Saturday noon the Mauretania
had covered 1249 knots at an average of
25.21 knots an hour. During that time
she had Improved on her own record for
a day's run by covering 607 knots during
the 24 hours from Friday noon to Satur
day noon. This Is an. average speed of
26.29 knots an hour and a new record.
If thte keeps up she will reach Queens
town at about 8:30 A. M. Tuesday, an
hour and a half ahead of her best time
for the trip, completing the voyage In
4 days and 19 hours.
PUT CANNON ON AIRSHIPS
Germany Army Adopts Plans Pre
caution Against Explosions.
BERLIN. March 1. The military air
ship of the future is to be armed with
small cannon or machine guns. The
army authorities at several headquarters
throughout Germany are experimenting
along this line and it has been virtually
decided to provide balloons of the rigid
Zeppelin type either with cannon of small
calibre or machine guns.
The danger resulting from the recoil
and the escaping of gas from the muzzle
has been practically eliminated Ly a
system of adjustments, the details of
which are kept secret.
It U proposed also to arm the semi
rigid balloons of the Parseval and Gross
types with a lighter rapid-fire weapon,
thus enabling them to attack Infantry
detachments.

Property Once Pleaded Bad
Reputation as l-fcn.e From
Woman's Claims.
IXyS ANGELAS. Cat.. March 1. (Spe
cial.) The death of old Lucky Baldwin
at 7 this morning, after a long struggle
with pneumonia, means the probable be
ginning of many sensational suits at law
for a slice of the fortune of $10,000,000
which the old stock plunger and turfman
left.
Baldwin should have left 50.0u0.OiO. as
20 years ago he was worth that amount,
but bad management and fondness for
mortgaging property cost him very dear
ly. All that he had at the time of his
death was the famous Santa Anita ranch
of 60.000 acres, the Tallac Hotel on Lake
Tataoe and several parcels of real estate
In San Francisco. How heavily these
properties are mortgaged, no one except
his brother-in-law and manager. H. A.
Unruh, can tell. .
Careles About Mortgages.
Of late years Baldwin has been very
careless In money affairs and only last
month his counsel In San Francisco re
tired because he had neglected to answer
their letters. Judgment for $12,000 was
found against hun. Baldwin built the
Baldwin Theater and Hotel on one of
the finest corners of Market street in
San Francisco, but he carried two $1,000
.000 mortgages on ... and when the build
ings -kurned a few years ago he could
not pay the bank, which foreclosed, and
the property fell Into the hands of James
u. r iuuu.
Many Beautiful "Nieces."
Baldwin's affairs with women will
probably lead to much litigation. He was
married three times and he was sued
for breach of promise twice. He always
had a number of beautiful "nieces" liv
ing with him attractive girls who are
liable to put In claims for a part of the
estate. His latest marriage was to Miss
Bennett, of San Francisco, 18 years old.
and the daughter of a prominent archi
tect. One girl with whom he lived took a
shot at him In the Baldwin Hotel. When
she brought suit for breach of promise.
Baldwin made answer that she should
have known by his general reputation
that It was dangerous to have any deal
ings with him.
Swore He Would Fool Death.
Baldwin's vitality was remarkable.
