MORROW DELAYS GALL
GATESS REQrEST FOR JVDCES
TO MEET NOT ACTED OX.
Proposal to Do Awy With Office of
Presiding Judge Opposed by
Incumbent, Is Belief.
Although requested by Judge Gatens
to do so. Circuit Judge Morrow yester
day failed to call a meeting of the
circuit judges to consider suggested
amendments to tlx Circuit Court rules
by which the office of presiding Judge,
at present occupied by Judge Morrow,
would be abolished. Judge Morrow
said that he hat a few proposed amend
ments to draft before calling the meet
ing. He Is understood to be opposed to
the proposal to abolish the presiding
judge system and let the cases he as
signed by the County Clerk to the
judges in rotation, each judge han
dling all ex parte motions which come
up In connection with his own cases
and having co-ordinate jurisdiction in
all special proceedings, such as Injunc
tion, naturalization, mandamus and
habeas corpus, which now come before
the presiding judge.
It is anticipated that Judge Oatens
will win his fight this time although
twice before defeated. He has the
active support of Judge McGinn and
he believes that either Judge Kava
naught or Judge Gantenbein, or both,
will Join In the movement. There are
five judges and a combination of
three of them, constituting a majority,
will be sufficient to put the suggested
new rules into effect." In any event a
lively debate Is expected when the
judges actually do get together to con
sider the question.
I have not been busy since 11
o'clock this morning, the case assigned
to me having been disposed of in less
than an hour, and Judge Gantenbein. I
understand, has been Idle since early in
the morning." aaid Judge Gatens." Now
If we had our own dockets it would be
an easy matter to continue with our
work by calling new cases Immediately
Instead of waiting for the presiding
judge to make assignments. The waste
of time made necessary by the present
system Is one of the things I object to
particularly and which, I' understand,
also strenuously Is objected to by the
taxpayers, and with good reason, for
it costs money to maintain the courts."

NEW PARTY SEEKS LIFE
ROOSEVELT PROGRESSIVES CIR
CCLATE PETITIONS.
Leaders Arc Confident 7000 Signa
tures Will Be Obtained and Or
ganization Legalized.
Yesterday was "labor day' with the
members of the Bull Moose party In
Oregon; In other words, in the 24
hours, ending at midnight last night,
they undertook to secure an aggregate
of 6661 signatures to petitions re
quired legally to organize the pro
posed new party in this state.
The result of the day's effort will not
be known until the reports have been
received from the outside counties In
which the petitions were also cir
culated. The Bull Moose leaders are
confident they secured more than the
necessary number of signatures to give
legal birth to the new party.
Incidentally, the petitions have been
circulated more or less Industriously
in Multnomah County and some of the
outside counties dally since the recent
meeting of the tentative state central
committee of the prospective new po
litical party last week. George Arthur
Brown, state chairman of the party-to-be,
prophesied yesterday that the
aggregate of signatures to the petition
tor the day would reach 7000.
Roosevelt has positively refused to
make an appointment at Salem on the
day that he visits Portland. Wednes
day, September 11. Whether he will
consent to have his train stopped at
Vancouver, Wash, at 6:30 A. M. and
make a short address Is also up to the
ex-President. Members of the com
mittee In charge of Roosevelt's Itiner
ary have already demurred against
routing him out of bed at the unrea
sonable hour of 6:30 A. M.. but -the
Vancouverites, who have appealed to
the "Rough Rider" personally, are
hopeful that his "strenuous" qualities
will assert themselves and induce him
to make the brief early-morning ad
dress at that point in response to their
urgent entreaties.
FOREIGNER'S 'YES' PUZZLES
Injured Man Answers AH Queries in
Affirmative.
A limited English vocabulary and
an unfortunate habit of saying "Yes"
to every question asked of him yes
terday caused the authorities at the
Good Samaritan Hospital considerable
difficulty in discovering the reason
for a scalp wound sustained by a for
eigner named Mike Jog, of 355 East
Morrison street.
Jog walked to the hospital with the
wound sewed np. He was interviewed
by Miss Loverldge; .the superintendent.
Question and answer -proceeded
somewhat in the following manner:
"Your name?'
"Mike Jog."
"What happened to you?"
"Yes."
"But you don't understand me. I
mean how did you come to hurt your
head?"
"Och. Yes."
"No, no, sonny. Listen to me. Did
anybody hit you, or did you run into
something?"
At the mention of the word hit, a
shade of comprehensibility flickered
across Mike's face and from the en
suing conversation, in spite of many
yeas, one was able to gather that he
had collided with a train on Monday,
had the accident attended to that night
and walked to the hospital this morn
ing. '

LAWYER WINS BY SERMON
Attack on Dr. Brougher Used to Ob
tain Two Women's Acquittal.
Taking as a text the published ac
count of a sermon by Dr. J. Whitcomb
Brougher, and scoring the minister bit
terly, Attorney W. E. Farrell preached
a sermon and won the acquittal of two
women before a jury in Municipal
Court yesterday. The verdict was re
turned In a few minutes, in the face
of a considerable mass of testimony.
Selecting suggestive passages from
the report of the sermon, on "How to
Be Happy Though Married," the at
torney said:
"I ask you, gentlemen: Is this the
language of the pulpit, or the lan
guage of the dive? Yet the man of the
cloth who set this salacious rot before
a congregation of men, women and
children is too pure-minded to con
sider for a minute the advisability of
segregating the unfortunate women of
the streets."
The reference to Brougher was
brought in as the basis for a plea for
scientific and sensible handling of the
vice question. The Jury was told that
self-seeking persons so frequently
raised the cry of immoral conditions
that magistrates on the bench did not
dare follow their convictions and re
turn verdicts upon the evidence', and
for that reason they had been called.
The defendants, Camille Delmas and
Jenny Bernard, were caught In a house
at 272 Burnside street. The Delmas
woman has been frequently in the
hands of the police.
