Pro tests against ap pointment ef RepresentatlYe Humph rey as Federal Judge for TVestern Washington continue to poor In upon the member of Congress from 'Wash ington and upon the White Bona. Humphrey la assailed on .Tarlona grounds, ranging all the way from aX leged Incompetency to mere political objection. Notwithstanding- thee pro tests.

While Polndexter would not expect to defeat Humphrey's confirmation unless something more serious than non tabllihed should be prored. he la termlned there shall be no haste about placing Humphrey on the Federal bench. Pome protests received today by Senator Polndexter are from labor organizations In Western Washington, which were opposed to Humphrey In the last campaign for election to tha House. l Sreaterlad Slteatlea Affected. If Humphrey wera appointed It would greatly clarify the political alt nation In the State of Washington, at least Insofar as the. next Senatorial rampalirn Is concerned. For the re tlrement of ilr. Humphrey from poll- tics leavea Senator Jonea the only regular Republican In tha Washington delegation and the only prominent reg nlar. so far aa can now be seen, to enter the Senatorial primary campaign In 11. The Senatorial situation admittedly was complicated last year by the elec tion of Senator Polndexter. for that srare Eastern Washington two Sena tors, and for tha first time threw both I'nlted Statea Senators on tha aam aid of the mountains. It waa known, when Polndexter was elected, that a strong effort would be mads to send a west aid man to tha Senate la place of Jones, and Humphrey waa irenerally mentioned aa the moat arall able man. Jeaee to More, le Report. While th appointment of Humphrey in ths Federal Bench will not change Senator Jones' geographical status. It will remove the moat formidable reg ular Republican en th west aid, and If current, report be true. Senator Jones. In tb near future, will move to Seattle or some other Western city. so that when he cornea op for nomlna tlon the geographical question cannot be raised. If Senator Jonea becomes a, resident of th west side, he la likely to be th only regular candidate for Senator two years hence, though It Is to be ex pected that one or more "progressive' candidates will come out against him. That situation la ao far In tb futur tlat It has not even begun to shape up. and much will depend upon the growth or decline of the "progressiva1 movement In th State of Washington between now and th primary cam rairn of 1114. Th essential thing, for th present. I that Mr. Humphrey will be removed from future consideration la Wash ington political affairs if he la ap pointed to the Federal bench. Thla anointment, by the way. will relieve Mr. Humphrey from a bitter campaign this year. He had such a close shave In the campaign last year that It was frequently reported be would not be a candidate for re-election to th House. 11 pulled through by the smallest plu rality he has ever received since he first ram to Congress, and th last campaign proved a heavy strain npoa bis purse. Strata of Caaspalga Felt- Running for Congress, aa a regular Republican In th Seattle district, under sueb conditioner promised to b a job ftt only for a man of wealth, and this eliminated Mr. Humphrey. Therefor. th appointment to tha Federal bench undoubtedly appealed more strongly to the Seattle member of Congress than aid the prospect of going through an other hard political fight thla Fall When It was first known that Judge ton worth would retire It was rumored that Senator Jonea would be named to succeed him. And there waa some thing to th rumor, for President Taft wss sounded, and It Is known he was entirely willing and would have been glsd to place the Senator upon tb bench. In the light of recent develop ment, however. It seems that the talk Involving Senator Jones was entirely without the sanction ef the Senator, for when his name waa publicly con nected with his appointment, b de clared emphatically that he waa not candidate and did not expect to be ap pointed. He said be was entirely satis fied with his present office, and Intl mated strongly that be would be a candidate to succeed himself. raadldaey la Sarprla. The fact that Mr. Humphrey was an aspirant for the vacant Judgeship came as a great surprise to other members ct the Washington delegation, foi rever until his name waa carried to the W hite House had It been supposed he would car for such aa office. He had never discussed the subject with his colleagues, other than Senator Jonea, and he did not solicit their support or Indorsement until after the senior Sen ator had had a talk with the President la his behalf. Thla. perhaps, was only natural, for there haa been no Intimacy between Mr. Humphrey and the three Insurgent members of the Washington delea-atlon- There Is this to be said about the Insurgent members of the delegation, however: they regard the retirement of Mr. Humphrey from the Bouse with favor, because they assert positively that his place la Congress will be filled by a "progressive." They point out that Mr. Humphrey's up-hill fight In the last campaign was Indicative of further trouble in the next campaign, had he remained In politics to make the fight. These "progressives" are Inclined to tha view that, politically, Mr. Humphrey waa suffering from "cold feet." FMeee reslttee Imports at.

With Mr. Humphry off this committee. It Is con ceded that neither of the other1 Wash ington members of the house can hope to get his place, and MrrHawley of Oregon la the only man who stands any chance of selection. He. however, will be met by opposi tion from th California delegation, which will strive to get this place for one of Ita members. The retirement of Representative Mr Lachlan from Congress last year left California with out representation on the rivers and harbors' committee, and unless the Pa cific Northwest unites In pulling for Mr. Hawley, a California man Is likely to get the committee vacancy left by Humphrey.

The movement against Representative Humphrey's appointment to th Fed eral bench la being continued here. Th Toung Men'a Republican Club next Friday night will consider a resolution of protest against his appointment. The Republican coun ty committee will consider a alml lar resolution next Saturday. The Se attle Bar Association will take no ac tion, but scores of attorneys have tele graphed to President Taft and Senator Polndexter. v The reason assigned for th opposi tion to th appointment of Humphrey 3 that he haa not practiced law for many years and that during his period of practice he did not attain eminence at the bar. The attorneys who wore first to protest to President Taft against Humphrey's appointment have taken no part In the public demonstrations against mm. which were led by "progressive" Repub lican leader who seek to retire him from Congress.

CUBA EXCITED OVER NEWS Gomes Promises to Enforce Law; Xunex Talks of Resistance. HAVANA. Jan. 1. The news of threatened intervention by the United States In Cuban affairs, which waa published in the late editions of the Havana afternoon papers, caused In tense excitement in the clubs and cafes, while in all places of public gathering It was the absorbing topic of discussion. Astonishment and re sentment against American Interior ence were mingled with general In. credulity. Later, as the newa was fully con. Armed, tbe impresslson became gen eral that th suggestion of interven tion probably would bave a good ef feet in calming the existing veteran agitation and In quieting present ex citement. President Gomes tonight aid: 'I have only recently received See. retary Knox' note through the Amer lean Minister and have not yet made a reply, but probably will do so tomor row. I am convinced that no occa sion has yet arisen for any intimation of Intervention. I believe that the Washington Government information is based on an erroneous view of con ditions in Cuba, arising from distorted or greatly exaggerated reports from Havana." When It was suggested that the ac tion of the Administration at Wash lngton probably was based on reports from Minister Beaupre, the President replied that he did not have tbe honor of knowing the character of the Min ister's reports. Continuing he said: Peace reigns throughout Cuba and will continue to reign. I am abun dantly able to enforce the laws apply ing not only to those in military serv ice, but to all cltlxens. "When I can no longer enforce the lawa and maintain perfect order, I am ready to resign the reins of govern ment. I repeat, the American Gov ernment will find no excuae for Inter vention." General Emlllo Nunez, ex-Governor of the Province of Havana and presi dent of the Veterans' Association, said: "I absolutely refuse to believe the report that the United States contem plates intervention because the vet erans are reported to have assumed an attitude of defiance to tbe Cuban gov ernment and because army officers at tended our meetings, contrary to the military regulations and to the Presi dential orders. We have broken no laws nor have we placed ourselves as a body in hostility to the government. "The Veterans' Association is not a political organisation, as evidenced by i Advertisingdervice membership representing all political parties. The organization exists sole ly for the purpose of purifying the civil service and of excluding all for mer traitors to the cause of Cuban in dependence. Wherefore we hold that all. veteran military officers bave a perfect right to attend our patriotic meetings. "If the United States intervenes un der present conditions, when no neces sity exists, to avoid disorder or re store credit, then Cuba would be stripped of every vestige of indepen dence. If this condition is forced on us, the United States will have to fight us and that struggle, for independence will not cease while a Cuban Is left alive to defend the fatherland." After giving the subject further consideration General Nunes said he was convinced that the Intimation of possible Intervention was true, but for the present he had no comment to make except to reiterate his previous remarks. Many conservative veterans tonight ridiculed Nunes threats of resistance to American Intervention, saying he would speedily find himself without followers. Some of the veterans re garded the intimation of Intervention as merely a hint, which would be use ful In restoring confidence. Others frankly declared that the general con ditions throughout tbe country and the widespread lack of confidence to the great detriment of business had come to so serious a pass that some remedy was Imperative, even intervention be ing preferable to. existing conditions. There is no doubt that President Gomez will proceed to enforce rigor ously his orders prohibiting attend ance of officers at the veterans' meet ings. A meeting of the veterans tonight, which failed to decide upon a policy, waa marked by the entire absence of army officers. T. R.'S VIEWS MASKED OHIO "PROGRESSIVES" WANT TO KNOW WHERE HE STANDS.
