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.
BATTLE ON OVER PETITION
Local Option in !easide Expected to
Bring on Eight.
ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 4. tS-.ecial.1 The
petition askirg that the question of 'ocal
option be submitted to the voters of. 9ea
. tide at the municipal election on Decem
ber S lias been set for hearing before the
County Court on next Monday, and as
attorneys have been encased by each side,
m legal battle is Vxpected.
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.
Republicans Carry Nebraska.
OMAHA. Neb.. Nov. 4. Returns late to
night make the election of the entire Re
publican ticket appear certain. Sixty
two counties give the Democratic
candidates for Supreme Justices as fol
lows: Dean. 65.334: Good. 66.034: Sulli
van. 6S.52S. For the Republicans: Barnes.

DELAYS NAMING JUDGE
TAFT WAITS TILL CONGRESS
MEETS TO APPOINT.
Unbroken Precedent Stands In Way
or Filling Peckham's Place
in Recess.
WASHTNGTON. Nov. 4. 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.
The feud .originated some years ago
with the killing of Eli Greene, an aged
man who was shot from ambush. Yount
married a daughter of the elder Greene
and Davis wedded his widow.
Bad feeling existed between Davis and
Yount and ' it is supposed that George
Greene, a son of the murdered man. took
Yount's part in the fight. Yount and
Greene were unarmed.
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. " .

B of the National Guard of West Vir

The community practically is under
martial law. 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.

WITHOUT doubt better plays than
"Love Watches" have been given
to the"public and will continue to be, but
It would certainly be a Herculanean task
to And another vehicle that would display
Billie Burkf's charm and personality to
better advantage. 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.
