ATnone the arallable mea under consideration by President Taft for ap pointment to vacancies In the I'nlted States Supreme Court Is George Turner, of Fpnkane. It Is believed he Is the only 'Western man whose appointment to that hlah poet Is probable, and If the p'ace Is tendered he will be the only man from the Pacific Northwest who has ever been so honored. Judge Turner .n justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington from 1884 to !vs-. and was a leader In the constitutional convention In that state. He waa elected to the I nlted Rtalea Senate from Washington In 1807 and served one term of s! jears. Judge Turners most notable services of National character were as a member of the Alaska boundary tribunal which settled the dispute with orrat Britain and as a member of The Hague Conference. Of the repre sentattvea from the Vnlted Btatea In that conference he waa outranked In In fluence, If at all. only by Ellhu Root. Judge Turner la not only an authority on International law. but bears a National reputation for profound learning In other legal branches. This appointment Is deeply desired by a large and Influ ential following In the Pacific Northwest, who have great respect and admira tion for Judge Turner's high personal character and eminent legal ability.

Dubois, ex-l'nlted States Senator of Idaho, "come back" in state politlce? This is being asked among; leading party men of the Gem state since the election of James H. Hawley. Iemocrt. as Governor. Dubois, at one time the powerful Iemocratic political manipulator. Is taking a hand in the appointments, seeking thereby to direct the selection of certain men of the anti- XPENSIVE . A r- or Mormon faith to Important offices. His friends are narticular'y anxious to con trol the selection of .Immigration Com missioner, a choice plum generally giv en to a Mormon. Dubois was put into political obliv ion, it was supposed, two years ago, when the lemocratlc party split on ths Mormon Issue. Two Democratic slats conventions were held and two tickets nominated- Finally an appeal was made to tiie Supreme Court and that tribunal decided asralnst Dubois and his lieutenants. Defeat met the Dem ocratic party at the polls, but Dubois was likewise defeated and returned to private life. Ths campaign was directed then Just as It waa laM November, by John Nu tent In political circles It Is generally known that Nugent was placed in the office of political dictator by the Mor mons. This state chairman now de clares the Mormons bavs kept faith and he is demanding that the church organization be properly reorganized by the party. Tills is where the Dubois peorle and Fred T. Dubola. their lead er, have entered a strenuous objection. Tho Mormons now Insist on the appoint ment of B. J. Rich, of Bingham County, s brother of the famous Ben K1eh. former superintendent of Mormon missions in Utah, and now superintendent of the missions In Kastern states. This threat ened appointment has aroused the old Mormon question as it has not been aroused since Kred T. Dubois first raised It eight years ago. Regardless of the opposition that has been persistently manifested against Fred T. Dubois. It Is now ac cepted by both the Republican and Democratic parties that the Mormon Is sue In this stats actually exists and that gome day It must be faced. ftlHEfilllTSlnLOONS DRASTIC ORDIX'AXCE REGC LATES CITY'S DISPEXS.VKIES.

Effort by Defense to Obtain Pres ence of Child in Courtroom Is Fruitless Issue Turns on Plea of Self-Defense. LAGRANDE. Or.. Dec. 7. (Special.) Bonds of blood are standing the test SKalnst ties of marriage here in the trial -of Jess Parker, the Elgin youth on trial for the murder of his father-in-law. William Porter, at Elgin, a few months ago. Mrs. Parker, a woman of 34. has made it plain that she is willing to as sist the State In sending her husband to the gallows for the killing of her father in a quarrel over the treatment of herself and son by the defendant. Cklled to the stand twice, willing to testify for the State, forbidden each time by the court on motion of the de fense, she gives every indication of es tablishing a precedent In melodrama types, and though she will not be heard for the State, neither will she be heard in defense of her husband, unless she changes her present attitude. Child's Presence Xot Allowed. The trial came to a halt early this afternoon to give the attorneys more time to prepare their evidence, but be fore the adjournment was taken tbe defense, represented by Cochran & Cochran and T. P. Crawford, attempted a flank attack Intended to enlist the sympathy of the Jury by requesting the presence of the little boy over whom the shooting occurred. But argument between the State and defense ended in refusal to permit the child's pres ence. There were 'at least four eye-witnesses to the shooting;, but on account of the rapidiyy approaching darkness none of them can swear positively that he saw a gun in Parker's hands. The quarrel occurred near the Porter home and Mrs. Porter was on the scene in a moment after the firing began at short range. Joe Baker, who was in the employ of Porter at the time of the shooting, is the moat important witness called by the State so far, and his cautiousness and skill as a witness is worrying the defense. Ths defense uncovered Its real hand In cross-examination of Baker, and ths young man's fate hangs on the issue whether or not Porter had a gun in his hands and was rwRhlng at Parker when Parker opened fire. Witness Denies Story. Attorney Cochran called his attention to a conversation said to have occurred between Baker and Bob Mays, of El gin, in which Baker Is alleged to have said: "Porter rushed up to Parker and Parker's wife rubbing his hands, when Mrs. Parker said: 'Go back, father, wa don't want any trouble here." Porter kept approaching and Parker shot him." This conversation is said to have oc curred In front of Stoop's cigar store In Elgin. Baker would not admit that such a conversation had ever taken place. Cochran then introduced another conversation with Jees Smith, in whifti Baker Is alleged to have said: "Porter went running towards Jess, spitting on his hands." Paker did not remember having made this remark either. Fewer than a doxen of the hundred witnesses subpenaed had been called when court adjourned until tomorrow morning. Mrs. Porter, the widow. Everett Breaahears and Joe Baker form the trio of chief witnesses for the State. Oddfellows Open Sew Hall. CHEHAUS, Wash.. ,Dec. 7. (Spe cial.)
