Webster, chairman of the executive
committee of the Oregon Good Roads
Association, returning last night after
the third day he has spent at Salem.
"The opposition that has been ex
pressed vaguely from various portions
of the state has materialized in the
legislature In the persons of a few
dissenters. But these are not to be
understood as expressing the senti

farmers of the state. The Oregon State
Grange adopted at Its annual meeting
a resolution, one of whose statements
reads:
"The most important question of In
terest to farmers under consideration
today Is the building of permanent pub
lie highways. In order to lessen the
cost of transportation of farm produce
to me nearest market.'
"So far as I have been able to learn
this is the real sentiment of the peo

built, permanently and well, a good
roads system for each cpunty, that
county system to be a unit of the state

TUFT STANDS PAT
IN COLWELL CASE
President Refuses to With
draw at Dictation of
Two Senators.
LET SENATE REJECT HIM
Committee Will Probably Report
Adversely and Senate Adopt Re
port, bnt Bourne Can't Dic
tate New Appointment.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Jan. 20. President Taft has
flatly refused to withdraw from the Sen
ate the nomination of Elmer B. Colwell
as . United States Marshal for Oregon,
but has put it up squarely to the Senate
to decide whether Colwell shall be con
firmed or rejected.
When informed that the unwritten rule
of the Senate does not permit the con
firmation of any Presidential appointee
who Is "personally obnoxious" to a Sen
ator, the President took the position thnt
Colwell has proved to be a competent of
ficial and for that reason he is not will
ing to withdraw his nomination. If the
Oregon Senators maintain that Colwell
la "personally obnoxious" to them, tho
Senate must assume the full responsi
bility and must reject his nomination.
If It wishes to get him out of the way.
Committee Will Reject Colwell.
With this understanding It Is expected
that tbe judiciary committee will next
Monday give further consideration to tho
Colwell case and It Is said today by mem
bers of that committee that. If Senators
Bourne and Chamberlain Insist that Col
well Is "personally obnoxious." the com
mittee will, following precedent, be
torced to report adversely.
There la strong suspicion on the Dirt
of several members of this committee
that the Oregon Senators are not dis
playing entire frankness In their deal
ings with the committee but are seeking
to thwart the will of the President by !
i-HjuuK nut pmy hub unwniien rule or
the Senate, which affords the only pos
sible meana by which they can prevent
eiwen s coniirmation. However. If they
are willing to stultify themselves and go
on iwcord In writing, declaring Colwtil
to be "personally obnoxious." the com
mittee will not question their good faith.
but will accept their word.
Senators Can't Name ew Man.
It Is well known that the objection of
Bourne and Chamberlain to Colwell is
political rather than personal; It is not
such sn objection as has ever before
been raised to prevent a confirmation
under this rule. But as both Senators
maintain. Colwell Is. "personally obnox
ious." it now seems that they will win
to the extent of securing an adverse re
port from the committee, and this Is
likely to be followed by the rejection of
Colwell's nomination by the Senate
when the matter comes to a vote.
This much seems fissured, however
If Colwell's nomination is rejected.
Bourne will not select his successor, nor
will Chamberlain. It Is well understood
that President Taft, if forced to make
a new appointment, will consult others
than Bourne and Chamberlain.

FALLING WALL STARTLES
Foundations of Old Gymnasium on
Yamhill Street Collapse.
Mystery no longer enshrouds the
queer noise heard by occupants of the
apartment houses In the vicinity of
Eleventh and Yamhill streets on Wed
nesday night, which many thought to
be cither an explosion of gas or an
earthquake. A solution of the mys
terious noise was found by a resident
who lives at the Elton Court Annex. It
proved to be caused from' the falling
of a wall in the excavation where
formerly stood the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Clubhouse, at the corner
of Tenth and Yamhill streets.
When the old Multnomah Club gym
nasium, which was built by W. S. Ladd,
was removed to the grounds 0f the
Portland Academy, the brick walls up
on which the edifice stood were left
standing. Constant exposure to the
wear and tear of tbe elements, capped
by the terrific rainstorm of t,he past
few days, so loosened the mortar be
tween the bricks that the wall toppled
to the floor of the basement. No one
was hurt.
