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.

IDAHO KX-SEXATOR TARES IX

Moriiionl-m Kcvlvrd as Issue and
Little Controversy Promised
in Xext Campaign.
BOISE. Idaflo. Pee- 7 (Special.)
Can Kred T. 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.

Effort by Defense to Obtain Pres

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.
