LANE LIKELY TO BE
PLACED ON BENCH
Secretary of Interior Can
Have McKenna's Place if
Latter Retires.
OPPORTUNITY LONG OPEN
Two Other Judges Eligible to Re
tirement Wilson May Break
Record for Appointments
to Highest Court.
OREGONIAff NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 22. There may be a new
Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet
before long. If current Washington gos
sip proves to be well founded. Rumor
has it that Justice McKenna intends
shortly to retire from the Supreme
Court and that Secretary Lane Is to
irucceed him. Both men are Callfor
nians and it Is no secret that Secretary
Lane would be glad to round out his
public career as a member of the Su
preme Court.
Justice McKenna Is 73 years old and
has been eligible for retirement for
three years, but he has been enjoying
good health and has been interested In
his work, and has not. up to this time,
thought of retirement. There Is a sus
picion.' however, that he was impelled
to delay his retirement until after the
election, in the hope that when he re
tired a Republican might be appointed
to succeed him.
Justice Unlikely to Walt.
To insure the appointment of a Re
publican successor, Justice McKenna
would be obliged to remain on the
bench at least another four years, and
that would make him more than 77
when he retired; few judges ever hold
on until they attain that ripe old age.
Secretary Lane has long been .re
garded as gootr-timber for the Supreme
bench and could have been appointed
when Mr. Hughes retired, although the
President preferred not to have two
Californians on the bench at one time.
By waiting Secretary Lane has not im
paired his chances, and unless be pre
fers to continue his work In the In
terior Department until another va
cancy occurs he probably will be named
when Mr. McKenna goes on the retired
list. Just when that will be, no one
seems definitely to know.
There are two other judges on the
Supreme bench eligible for retirement,
if they desire to relinquish their ju
dicial duties: Chief Justice White, who
Is past 71. and Justice Holmes, who is
nearly 76. Both these judges probably
will retire in the present Administra
tion. Democrats Will Have Majority.
President Wilson In the past four
years has appointed three of the nine
judges now on the Supreme bench. Jus
tices McReynolds, Brandeis and Clarke.
If he names successors to McKenna,
White and Holmes before the expira
tion of his second term, he will have
broken a record by naming two-thirds
of the Supreme bench, something that
no President before him ever did.
Somewhere along the line, however,
he will be expected to name one Re
publican, otherwise the bench would
btand six Democrats to three Repub
licans. To-day the bench stands five
Republicans to four Democrats, and
therefore it is to be expected that a
Democrat will succeed McKenna, thus
leaving the Democrats in the majority
for the first time in many years.
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT HERE
(Continued From First Page.)
clock, he informed the clerk, and per
fectly suited as a present to his wife,
but
The wrought and gilded little time
piece was purchased a week ago. The
husband who did his Christmas shop
ping early carried the clock home, glee
In his heart, and hid It with great cau
tion. Yesterday morning he .peeked to
assure himself that it was still there.
The clock was ticking!
Across the breakfast table he con
fronted his wife. "Woman," he sternly
charged, "'you found your present."
She widened her eyes In reproach and
amaze. "Why, I never either!" coun
tered she. "Listen here," he hissed,
"that clock lsn"t any eight-day affair.
And It's running, you found It and
you wound it!"
"I'm going to exchange It for some
thing else," announced the husband.
And he did.
Spirit Emulates Pack.
So, you see, the Christmas spirit is
good deal of a. "josher." and possesses
a. Puck-like fondness for meddling with
the affairs of mortals to the ends of
fun. But there is another side, and it
is exemplified in the true story of the
little boy who "never had his pants
and coat alike.
This little boy lives In Portland. His
mother is a widow, and he Is 11 years
old and he helps her a great deal. But
he has never had pants and coat alike.
Most of 'em, both pants and coats, have
been made-overs and, after a time, you
get so you dream about the two pairs
with each suit, that the streetcar ads
tell of. This boy did. But he saved
his pennies until he had $2, which is
a lot of money in pennies.
"I can have that suit by Christmas,
can't I?" He asked his mother. She
promised to increase his wealth until
the dream came true. Then a' small
disaster befell, it doesn't matter what
it was, but it made the day of "pants
and coat alike" seem very, very dis
tant. The very nice end of this awfully
sad story is that the boy is going to
have the new suit day after tomorrow,
though the Christmas Spirit is trying
to keep the matter dark.
Then there was. and is, a family that
lived in the woods and wanted to come
to Portland. So they came, mother and
father and six little saplings. Like the
famed "little brown Jug," they "came
down the mounting." The father didn't
find work, at least only enough to
make meat an occasion for rejoicing
and bread scarcely less than a daily
uncertainty. It looked nretty slim for
Christmas, you may be certain
mere were, and are. four boys In a
Sunday school class. They had saved
J4. Yesterday they assembled this for
tune, set shoulder to shoulder .and
marphed downtown. On Christmas eve
the four will usher a completely
equipped tree, with presents for six.
into the home where chances are look
ing pretty slim. Six children who lived
among the wild Christmas trees and
never had one. are In for an experience
beyond their hopeful fancies.

the vicinity agreed, pupil with teacher,
and teacher with DUDiL that Santa
Claus should be bribed against for
getting anybody. Also these children
gave their own toys, after going bank
rupt for the delight of poorer friends.
The Christmas Spirit did a lot of
chuckling over that, we may be sure.

Numerous Shares Kully Renin Losses
With Best Prices Being Quoted
In Last Hour of Trading.
NEW YORK. Dec. 22. Buoyancy
marked the stock market today. The
slump of the last fortnight, which cul
minated in yesterday's demoralization.
gave way to recoveries of 5 to 10 points
in tne oetter Known stocks and con
siderably more In issues of an ultra
speculative class.
On today's extreme recoveries numer
ous shares fully regained yesterday's
losses, while a few were at or above
final quotations of Wednesday. The
rebound was effected on a much smaller
v.olume of operations about 1.750.000
shares against the tremendous out
pouring or more than 3,000,000 shares
the day before.
The outstanding factor of today's
market was the better understanding
of the international situation, based on
reports received from Washinerton and
other centers of importance, which
neipea in great measure to clear the
financial atmosphere. Another impor
tant feature was the support given by
investors who quickly availed them
selves of the "bargains" offered at yes
terday's decline. .
Today's recovery began at the open
ing, when stocks of all descriptions
showed gains of 3 to 5 and even 8
points. Best prices were recorded in
the last hour, when the market again
became active and trading was broader
than at any previous time of the day.

CANNERY RATE IS ASKED
Southern Pacific ' Starts Move for
Southern Oregon Plants.
EUGENE, Or. Dec. 22. The Southern
Pacific Company has petitioned the
State Public Service Commission to
establish a. rate of 20 cents a hundred
pounds on all canned goods from -Ash
land and intermediate points to Port
land, according to a communication re
ceived by the local Chamber of Com
merce today, so that Southern Oregon
canneries may compete with factories
nearer Portland or points subject to
water competition. The rate applies
to carloads of at least 60,000 pounds.
The present rate from Ashland is 30
cents.
No date has been set for a hearing
on the petition.

WAR DEPARTMENT
Delay in Giving Aid to Families
of Guardsmen Rouses
Oregon Representative.
DILATORY ACTION. CHARGED
Many In Destitute Circumstances,
While Money Appropriated by
Congress Lies -In Treasury
Awaiting Distribution.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Dec. 22. Representative Mc
Arthur today called attention of the
War Department to the dilatory tac
tics which have attended the distribu
tion of money, appropriated by Con
gress fox the relief of the families of
married men who enlisted In the Na
tional Guard and served on the Mexican
border. He was prompted te do this
by appeal from members of .the Guard
and their families in Oregon who are
in destitute circumstances and in some
instances dependent on charity for bare
necessities of life.
"The War Department's delay In this
matter is little short of criminal," said
Mr. McArthur.
"1 have on my desk a letter from a
guardsman who served with one of
the Portland companies and who re
cently returned from the border to find
that his old position had not been held
open for him and that his wife and
three children were without food. This
man has been walking the Streets of
Portland for the last 90 days in search
of work, and in that time has had
employment less than two weeks.
"The Thanksgiving dinner for him
self and family consisted of dry bread
and coffee without- sugar or cream.
This man Is not a loafer or tramp,
but an upstanding American citizen,
who offered his services to his coun
try when war was imminent.
"Congress appreciated the sacrifice
which, were made by the guardsmen
who went to the front and promptly
made the necessary appropriations for
the relief of destitute families, but the
War Department has been altogether
too slow in the distribution of the
money.
"With the moneys at their command,
the officials of the War Department
ought to have distributed this money
among destitute families many weeks
ago Instead of allowing it to lie in
the treasury.
"There are so many other similar
cases that they cannot and should not
be taken care of, by private charity
. -en they have something coming
legitimately from tue country.
"These dilatory tactics ol ine war
Department are not in keeping with
our best ideals of patriotism and
faithful reward for service."

Guard, Is Reported Also.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22: A deficiency
appropriation of 28, 400,000 for the
Army on account of Mexican border
service was submitted to the House to
day by Secretary of War Baker.
In addition. Secretary Baker sub
mitted a supplemental estimate of 11
250.000 to clothe and garrison 150,000
men of the National Guard for a year
beginning July 1. It was considered
significant in connection with the plans
for ' retaining the Guardsmen in the
Federal service.
Testifying before the House military
committee recently. Quartermaster
General Sharpe said that If the Na
tional Guard were retained on the bor
der at a strength of 75.000 men until
June 30, 1917, the deficit would reach
a total of $50,000,000. It was more
than $25,000,000 October 1, and has in
creased in excess of $3,000,000 since that
time, according to the figures presented
today.
It Is understood the strength of the
Guard retained on the border pending
further development in the interna
tional situation would be approximately
75,000 men. making a total force of
115.000. including regulars, compared
with 200,000 there a few months ago.
The supplemental estimate of $11.-
250,000. to maintain the Guard during
the riscal year iis is unaersioou to
Include provision for the replacement
of clothing and other property which
