AWAITS RETURN OF HAY Will Remain in Judicial Position Until Next Week at Governor- Request Goes to Washington After Thanksgiving. VANCOUVER. Wash.. '"Nor. 4. (Staff Correspondence.) Judge W. W. McCredle, Congressman-elect from the Second Wash ington district, is not to be permitted the usual prerogative of resting up. common to a successful candidate for office, for the new Representative is swamped with ' court matters as well as the work of closing up his accounts of the baseball season of l!. At the request of Governor Hay. who is now with President Taft and party in the South. Congressman-elect McCredle will not resign his judicial position until the return of the Governor, who Is ex pected back about November 10. Imme diately after that date, or on November 13. Judge McCredie will leave for San FVanclsco. where he Is to represent Port land's interests at the annual meeting of the directors of the Pacific Coast Base hall League, and he does not expect to be able to enjoy much leisure until Just be fore Thanksgiving, and after that date he leaves for Washington. D. C, to as sume lil duties as Congressman. "Portland's Congressman." as Judge McCredle says he is styled by Tacomans. was In a hafiny mood tonight, for he has received congratulatory messages from many sources and received a visit from ex-l'nlted States Senator John Lw Wilson, of Seattle, who dropped in at the McCre dle home from Portland to congratulate the new Congressman personally. "My district is a large one. and I have not yet had time to become familiar with all of It wants." said Judge McCredle to the representative of The Oregonlan to night. "However, I have been elected by the whole district," continued the Judge, "and I feel that it Is my duty to aid each and every section of the district to the best of my ability. Will Work for Harbor Improvements When you atop to consider that every county In my district with the exception of Lewis County I possessed of a deep water harbor.- you can readily imagine that my time will be pretty well taken up In the effort to secure tha needed Im provements of each locality. That there will be a demand for needed Improve ments is positive, for every harbor al ways has some portion of It where the bottom Is too close to the top. and that requires action, or at least effort, from the Congressman from the district, who Is expected to secure Congressional aid. "Waterways are a decided adjunct to the Improvement and upbuilding of a state, and It will be my ambition to fur ther the Interests of these harbors and waterwavs to the best of my ability. The Columbia River. Puget Sound. Willapa Harbor. Gray's Harbor and Clallam Bay all will be treated alike by me. for each is a part of the district which has se lected me to represent It In Congress. "Another thing is that every county In my ditnrirt. with the possible exception of the Eastern part of Klickitat Is heavily timbered and therefore naturally inter ested In the reforestation of those sec tion of lands formerly timbered and which are of no othet. practical use. As every county In the district is- more or less timbered the reforestation Idea will eventually be grasped by those of my constituency interested in the lumber in dustry, it will undoubtedly fall upon m to assist this movement. "Having watched the depletion of the forests for some time. I have naturally studied the problem of reforestation to an extent that I am fairly familiar with the needs' of this branch of industry. As to other legislative matters I have not had time to study the requirements thoroughly enough to digest their merits, but 1 feel that I ran serve the Interests of my district fairly and im partially, and I do not believe that Tacomans will find much In my record to refer to me ss 'Portland's Congress man' in any other sense than a joke." Thinks Majority 5000 or 6000. Complete returns of the election have not yet been received, though Judge McCredie figures that he has been elected by from 50 to 6i majority over Uster, his Democratic opponent. In the St. Helens precinct, a remote habitation in Cowlitl County, eight votes were cast, and McCredie received all of them, which Is a source of pleasure to the Vancouver Jurist. In one Vancouver precinct Judge McCredie received 218 votes, while only seven were tallied for his opponent, and this gratifying expression of loyalty on the part f his feilow-townsmen is most pleasing to the new Congressman. Among the congratulatory messages re ceived by Judge McCredle was one from D. E. Dugdale. from Peoria. 111.. Dug's old home, where he is visiting prepara tory to attending th baseball meeting at Memphis. Tenn. Another message came from Judge McCredie's old home In Iowa, and hundreds of telegrams have been received from various parts of his dis trict, the State of Washington, and not a few from Portland, other Oregon points and California. RAINS CLOSE UP CAMPS v Columbia Full or Logs andTies Carried Down Stream. ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 4. (Special.! The recent heavy rains have compelled some of the logging caps in this vicinity to close down temporarily, as the adjacent streams overflowed their banks and flooded the camps. Steamers arriving down the river today report large numbers of logs and railway ties brought down from the Cowlltx and Iewis Rivers- are adrift in U13 Columbia. Many launches are, at work picking up the ties at five cents each, but little at tention Is being paid to the logs except by their owners.

The contention of those opposing the granting of the petition Is that no vote on local option can be taken on December 8. the date of the city election, as under the atate law thia question can be sub mitted to the people only on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In No vember, the date fixed for state and Pres idential elections. PROHIS ARE TALKING CONTEST Result of Columbia County Election Does Not Please. "ST. HELEN'S. Or.. Nov. 4. ( Special. ) Notwithstanding the voters of Rainier precinct cast their ballots in two boxes, one labeled "city" and the other "pre cinct." the county board In canvassing the returns of the local option election today certified to both sets of ballots, thus giving the election to the wets by 64. There Is considerable talk of a contest by the prohibitionists, but as the case would probably be In the courta several months and there will be another elec tion in one year, many think a contest would be a needless expense.

Unless Presi dent Taft decides to violate the prece dents, which as a lawyer he is unlikely to do. no justice will take the place on the Supreme Bench vacated by the recent death of Justice Peckham before the as sembling of Congress in regular session next December. All of the surviving justices with one exception were nominated during the ses sions of Congress. The exception was Justk-3 Harlan, who was appointed by President Hayes November 2S. 1878. and. although he had already received his com mission. Justice Harlan refrained from taking his place on the bench until De cember 10. following, by which time his nomination had been passed upon by the Senate. There Is an unwritten law of the august court Itself for this which is likely to-be respected, for it has been the unbroken practice of all Presidents to advise with the members of the court before filling vacancies on its bench. The objection to the seating of a justice during a recess of Congress is that the failure of the Senate to confirm his nomi nation would seriously impair the weight of any decisions on important cases in which he may have participated. Therefore, while it is regarded as pos sible that the President may make his selection in advance of the assembling of Congress, the actual appointment, or at least the commission, will be wljhheld until the Senate shall have had an oppor tunity to act upon it. KILLINGS REKINDLE FEUD HANCOCK STRIFE REOPENED IX TENNESSEE. Two Unarmed Victims Added to List of Fatalities Slayer Makes Self-Defense Plea. KNOXVILLE. Tenn.. Nov. 4. A Han cock feud of years' standing has broken out afresh, and today two more victims were added to the roll of dead. James Yount. aged 30. and George Greene, aged 16. are the last victims. James Davis, who admits the double killing, but who says he did it In eelf-defense, surrendered to the authorities at Smeedville.

TRAINMAN FALLS 60 FEET P. J. Helsel Plunges Through Tres tle and Is Badly Injured. P. J. Helsel. electrician on the Shasta Limited, the Southern Pacitie train that left Portland at 6 o'clock last night, fell 6" feet through a trestle just beyond Can by and was seriously injured. That the fall did not kill Heisel instantly Is at tributed to the fact that he struck in a small pool of water. He was making an examination at the time of the electrical apparatus, which had got out of order and plunged the train in darkness. He .was brought to the Good Samaritan Hos pital. Heisel alighted from his car and ran forward to the engine. Owing to -the temporary blindness following the sudden change from brilliant light to darkness. Heisel did not realize the train had stopped on a trestle. Unconscious ot danger, he stepped Into an opening and fell fl feet. He had run the full length of three Pullmans without mishap. The Injured man was placed on a spe cial engine and hurried to Portland. At the hospital his Injuries were attended by Dr. George F. Wilson. It is believed he wm recover.

The Sheriff announced him self prepared against a possible lynching party. Throughout the town, two parties of men. heavily armed, walked the streets, needing only a leader to attempt to batter down the Jail doors and take the two negroes. Governor Glasscock tonight addressed the people and asked that the law be al lowed to take Its course. His remarks were derided. The Governor asked the captain of the Gassaway militia com pany if his men were prepared for serious trouble. The captain said his men had voted not to shoot their fellow towns people, even though commanded to do so, but would protect, as best they could without shooting, the negroes in the jail. The Governor told the captain his men were In a-virtual state of-mutiny and would be severely censured. The captain replied that he had done the best.he could, but the men were firm in "their de termination not to kill their, friends. Love Watches" Opens at Bungalow CAST.

Last evening as a star she made even a bigger hit In "Love Watches" than she did as leading woman when she appeared here before with John Drew In "My Wife." A crowded house greeted her to fall In love with her all over again. There is only one Billie Burke, and the model must have been broken by the gods when 'Fate gave her to us. The play, despite its French atmos phere and trade mark, is clean and wholesome, and the character of Jasque line, the unsophisticated little convent rirt just out of school, so essentially fits Miss Burke that one wonders if it wasn't woven about her. and for her. There is no particular plot to the story. Jacque line, falling desperately In love with her handsome cousin. Andre, tells him so in a characteristic and frank manner, pro poses to him and marries him. Andre, though the principal In many affaires de amor, has a genuine lovefor his adorable littie wife. Prior, to his marriage he has flirted outrageously with another cousin, Lucie (it is quite a family affair), and when Jacqueline learns this her Jealousy is aroused and site threatens that if Andre ever so much as speaks to Lucie again she will throw herself at the head of the first young man she meets. Andre promises and means to keep his promise, too, but Lucie, who by no means has tired of him, contrives to make him break his word. When Jacqueline finds it out she searches wildly through her list of men friends for a possible butt for vengeance on Afidre. Luckily for all concerned she hits upon another cousin, Ernest Augarde, a bookworm, who has secretly loved her for years. In his.rooms she tells him she loves him, and he, poor ass. believes her until upon trying to kiss her, Jacqueline strikes hlm-and con fesses that only jealousy had driven her to this step. The story ends beautifully; Jacque line goes back to her husband, learns that he has not been false to her, they fall more in love with each other, we all fall more In love with Billie, and the play ends just as we want it 4o. The keynote of Miss Burke's acting Is her winsome and natural manner. Beautiful cannot describe her she Is lovely, and she takes the audience Tight Into her arms and talks to i as one would a child. She Is a concentrated and electrical bunch of feminine charm, combined, with actual talent. Her supporting company is good, too. Vernon Steel is most capable as the husband. Ernest Lawford. a talented man. Is seen as the bookworm, in which he takes laurels second to Miss Burke. Kate Meek, who has been associated with William Gillette In some of his greatest successes, is notably good Jn the role f 'the old Marquise who has a penchant for only nwo" works in literature "The Lives of the Saints" and "Tales of Voltaire." Stanley Dark is seen in the role of a French gentle man and roue; Maude Odell is a fasci nating Lucie. always handspmely gowned." and Frank Andrews makes a capital priest. "Love Watches'- will be at the Bunga low for the remainder of this week, with a matinee on Saturday. LEAGUE IS AFTER METERS v Seventh-Ward People Want All Con sumers to Use Them.
