iTeslrtert T-ift s promotion of Associ
ate Jitsitre Vhlt was received by the
Senate nhortly after It convened. The
Senate Interrupted buslneaa to a-o Into
exeoutlve session to nak the necessary
confirmation, as tha rule requiring ref
erence of nominations to committees
does not apply in rases where the ap
pointees bare served as members of the

OoTKia. formerly of the Supreme Court
of his state, to be associate Justices of
the Supreme Court of the Cnited Slates.

Action Mar IK IclaTCd.
The chance are no action will ba
taken until after Judge Knapp has been
confirmed for the position to which ha
wss appointed today.
The Senate surprised Itself by Its
speedy action upon the nomination of
Chief Justice White. In less than an
hour after the namea bad been received
from the White House the Senate had
disposed of tha nomination.
Immediately after the disposal of the
routine business of tbe morning hour
Fenator Hale moved that the Senate go
Into executive session. So anxloua
were other benatora who bad other
business they considered pressing that
they rushed to the side of tha Maine
member to protest.
"I am going to have White con
firmed. he said.
"Nonsense." several of them re
sponded in unison, "you can-l possibly
do It."
I lata Moat Inslsfrut.
-Walt and see." be replied, and con
tinued to insist on bis motion.
When at last the doors were closed
the nomination of Mr. White was laid
before the Senate. Mr. H.tle did not
wait for the reading of other nomina
tions, but moved confirmation of the
Chief Justice. A few voices wera raised
la protest, but Mr. Hale took the floor.
He spoke for about IS minutes, deal
ing: wlt! Mr. Whlte'e demonstrated fit
ness for the plice. and enlarged on the
fact that he b-id been a member of tha
Senate.
The only voice raised !n opposition
to Immediate confirmation was that of
ftenator Heyburn. He declared himself
opposed to the selection of anyone of
the associate Justices contrary both to
precedent and policy. The Idaho Sena
tor eventually surrendered gracefully
and when the vote waa taken, Jilned
hie vcU-a with ail oihere In the sTIrm
tlve. Justice White waa visibly affected
when he learned of the Senate's prompt
action. II" waa on the bench when a
croup of Senators called to congratu
late him. Ho met thera In aa ante
chamber and when he resumed hla
plate his eyes were brimming with
tears. He showed further emotion
wnrn. on the adjournment of the court,
the entire Louisiana delegation In Con
irress, headed by Senators Koster and
Thornton, called to congratulate Mm.
l-ate today the new Chief Justice
called at the White House to pay his
respe ts to the rrentJrnt and to thank

tling the rind off some lemons when ha
cut his thumb deeply. After the wound

ROSEBURG NOW UP INARMS
Taxpayers TCnable to Reach Ajrree
ment on High School Site.
Bj03KI?URG. Or., Dec. li Speclal.)
Declaring- that It will be Impossible to
select a Central High School site satis
factory to all the taxpayers In the dis
trict, the memoers of the Roseburg
School Hoard have practically concluded
to reject the proposals thus far offered,
and delay selection of the site until the
taxpayers can reach some agreement
and assure the board against any pos
sibility of Injunction proceedings being
tiled.
As tha proposition now stands, the tax
payers are divided Into four factions.
The taxpayers of North Roseburg ssy
that they are entitled to the school
building for the reason that thty have
no school at the present time. In West
Roseburr. a like sentiment prevails, the
taxpayers In that district alleging that
they are entitled to the building Inas
much as they have offered to donate the
necessary ground. The taxpayers of
Roaeburg. proper, are advocating the se
lection of several sites, all of which are
situated within a fow blocks of the busi
ness districts. These taxpayers say that
tha high school should be centrally lo
cated, and will strenuously oppose any
attempt to locate It In the suburbs. A
few days ago the School Board announced
that they had practically decided to dls
rard the Ijine school building to mske
room for the new structure, but In the
face of strenuous opposition this i lan has
been abandoned.
A straw vote is now being taken In
an effort to nseertnln the sentiment of
the voters, and balloting Is brisk.
KOZER ISSUES NEW ORDERS
Rewritten Marine Insurance Must
Re In Annual Report.
BALKM. Or.. Dec. 11 Speclal. Insur
ance Commissioner Koser has Issued an
order to resident-general agents- of
marine Insurance companies doing busi
ness In Oregon In which he holds that
all business, wild her direct or reinsur
ance, written fh the stats by authorised
agents, sall be Included In the annual
reports of the companlea. Companies
transacting casualty business are also
called upon to report salvage received
during the year.
The Comrotsfloner plans to recommend
that an amendment providing for a tax
of 1 per cent on net premiums of com
panies be made to the present statutes
so as to embrace Items of premiums not
now Included, because the law ts not
specific la relation to thesa parti colar
Items.
ts. In commenting upon this reduc
tion. Postmaster-General Hitchcock
says In his report:
" "The policy of the present adminis
tration has been to wipe out losses by
Increasing the postal business along
profitable lines, and while thus en
larging the department's Income to re
duce aa far aa possible the rate of ex
penditure by cutting out wasteful pro
cesses, by simplifying and rendering
more effective the methods of handling
postal business, and by raising to the
highest possible standard the efficiency
of officers and employes.
Service Extended Greatly.
. The department's policy Is to extend
the service aa rapidly as is warranted
by Increasing population. In further
ance of this policy. 1A00 new postofTlces
were established during the last year,
and 16 new rural delivery routes trav
ersed, altogether 12. Hoi miles, were In
stituted. Nearly 36uu new employes of
various classes were placed upon the
rolls of the department, whose aggre
gate salaries were more than $2,000,000
annually. In addition to this sum, $1.
750.000 waa added to the salaries of
postofflce clerks, 1 1.226,000 to tbe sal
aries of letter-carriers, and $250,000 to
the salaries of railway mail clerks. All
Increases In saUtry were based upon
efficiency ratings.
In the discussion of second-class mall,
Postmaster-General Hitchcock points out
the constant growth of .this class of mat
ter. It Is carried at a loss, and he urges
that a remedy should be promptly ap
plied by charging more postage.
"In It vying the higher rate," the report
suggests. "It Is believed that a distinction
should be made between advertising mat
ter and what is termed legitimate read
ing matter.
Newspapers Arc Exempt.
"In view of the vanishing postal de
ficit, H Is believed that If magazines could
he required to pay what it coats the Gov
ernment to carry their advertising pages,
tbe departments revenues would soon
grow large enough to warrant 1 cent pos
tage on first-claas mall.
"Newspapers are not included in the
plan for a higher rate on advertkdng
matter because, being chiefly of local dis
tribution, they do not employ the malls
to any auch extent aa the widely circulat
ing magazines."
Postal Banks Wanted.
The Board of Trustees created by the
act of June 23. 1S10. to control, supervise
and administer the postal savings sys
tem has made substantial progress In
perfecting a plan of opeaatlon." contjnues
the report.
"After a most careful Investigation
and numerous conferences with leading
bonkers tbe board unanimously decided
to adopt the plan of using certificates of
deposit instead of pass books.
"In order to make tbe first trial of the
new system as comprehensive as pos
sible under the limited appropriation pro
vided by Congress a single poalomce in
each state and territory has been se
lected at which postal savings deposits
will be received from the 1st of January
next.
"It is again recommended that Con
gressional authority be secured for the
issue of money orders In fixed amounts
not exceeding WO. to be known as postal
notes and to be payable on presentation
at any postofhee. This would provide
a simple and Inexpensive means of
transmitting small sums and would
therefore render less frequent the send
ing of bills, coins and postage stamps
through ihe malls, a practice that re
sults In many losses and entails much
expense on the department In their in
vestigation. Politics Is Decried.
"Although recent reforms have greatly
Increased the efficiency of the postal
service, it ts apparent that the highest
degree of effectiveness In the conduct
of this tremendous business establish-..

ment can not bo attained while the
thousands of postmasters, on whose
faithfulness so much depends, continue
to be political appointees. The entire
postal service should be taken out of
politics. The recent order of the Presi
dent classifying, on the recommendation
of the department, all assistant post
masters was an Important step In the
richt direction. As a still more Import
ant reform Presidential postmasters of
all grades, from the first-class to me
third, should be placed in the classified
civil service.
"The plan thht has been tested in sev
eral states of selecting fourth-class post
masters through a civil service examina
tion does not always bring satisfactory
results. This Is particularly true wnn
resoect to the smaller fourth-clase offices.
"It Is believed that with some modifi
cations the civil service principle can
be successfully applied to fourth-class
offices. an( a general extension of the
system throughout the country is there
fore favored.
9100.000,000 Loss Alleged.
It Is indicated In the report that the
crusade by the Postofflce Department
against the fraudulent use of the malls
has been pushed with groat vigor. Dur
ing the last few months the principal
nmcera of 34 cornoratlons and firms have
been placed under arrest for swindling
the public by this memoa.
"It is estimated." the report says, "that
the tfi Important cases recently brought
to a head represent swindling operations
that have niched from the American
people in less than a decade fully $100,-
ooo.ooo. "
In conclusion, Postmaster-General
Hitchcock expresses the hope that Con
gress will see its way clear to grant
an annual leave of absence of 30 days
to postofflce clerks, city letter carriers
and to railway postal clerks who are
required to work six days or more a
week throughout the year.

LORIMER CASE 8 MONTHS OLD
Bribery Charge First Mnde by Mem
ber of Illinois Legislature.
CHICAGO. Dec 1Z. The charge that
Senator Lorlmer had purchased his seat
In the United States Senate was first
made when a confession of Charles A.
White, member of the Illinois Legis
lature, a former streetcar conductor,
and labor lobbyist at Springfeld. was
published In a Chicago newspaper April
30. 1910. State Representative Lee
O'Netl Browne, H. J. C. Beckemeyer,
Michael Link and Robert E. Wilson
were mentioned as having been In
volved. White declared he had been paid
S1000 for his Lorlmer vote by Browne,
minority leader, at Springfield. White
himself, was a Democrat and Senator
Lorlmer had .been elected by a com
bination of Democrats and Republicans
after the Legislature had been dead
locked for months In-an effort to elect
a Senator.
To States Attorney Wayman. of Cook
County, Beckemeyer and Link were
said to have confessed that they had
received money after voting for Lorl
mer. At the same time. States' Attor
ney Burke, of Sangamon County, began
an Investigation of the charges and
forced from State Senator Holstlaw a
declaration that he had been paid $2500
for his Lorlmer vote by State Senator
Broderlck. a Chicago saloonkeeper, and
Democratic friend of Lorlmer. Indict
ments were returned against the men
In both Cook ajid Sangamon counties.
Lee O'Nell Browne was tried twice
In the criminal court of Cook County.
The first time the Jury disagreed,
after having been out for a longer
period than any other Jury in the his
tory of the country.
His second trial ended September 8.
when a second Jury returned a verdict
of not gutlty. Browne has been re
elected to the Illinois Legislature from
La Salle County.
As a result of the charges and sub
sequent Indictments Senator Cullom
Introduced a resolution In the United
States Senate asking for a complete
investigation of the election of Senator
Lorlmer. On September 17. the Sena
torial Investigating Commission met in
Chicago. The formal charges of brib
ery were placed before the Legislative
Voters' League.
MAIL BOUNTY BILL RESTS
Texas Senator Would Annul New
Mexico's Boundary Law.
WASHINGTON.- Dec 12. The ocean
mall bounty bill came up as the un
finished business in the Senate, today,
but the Senate laid It aside temporarily.
This course was taken on motion of
Senator Galllnger to accommodate
other business and does not mean that
the bill will not be pressed later.
The unusual course of declaring null
and void a portion of a state consti
tution Is proposed by a Joint resolution
introduced today by Senator Culber
son, of Texas, attacking the provision
In the constitution of New Mexico,
which undertakes to change the boun
dary line between New Mexico and
Texas.
The resolution provides for the an
nulment of the provlslon.
The question of a constitutional con
vention to act quickly against poly
gamous practices Is placed squarely
before the House committee on Judlc
isry In a Washington state concurrent
resolution passed by the Legislature
and received by the House today. The
reaolution asks Congress to call a con
vention to propose a constitutional
amendment prohibiting polygamy
