TERM EXPIRES IN 1919 GAfJTENBEIfJ MAY GO In Event That Soldier-Judge Is Ele vated to Supreme Court, E. V. Iiittleficld Is to Retain Circuit Judgeship. Colonel C. LT. Gantenbein returned last night from Washington, D. C. He declined to make any statement as to his plans. He refused to say 'whether he would resume his place on the Mult Jiomah County circuit bench, neither would he confirm nor deny the rumor that he might be appointed to the State Supreme Court in the event of the resignation of Associate Justice Wal lace McCamant. "I have just arrived in the city and know nothing; of the situation," said Colonel Gantenbein. "I have no plans. 1 shall reserve making; any statement until I have had an opportunity to as certain just what the conditions are. For that reason I have nothing to say tonight, particularly with reference to reports that have been circulated con cerning me and my plans." When Mr. McCamant was appointed to the Supreme Court to succeed th. late Associate Justice Eakin. Colonel Gantenbein. then Circuit Judge, was also a candidate for the place. Upon accepting the Governor's appointment Mr. McCamant told close friends that ho would not be a candidate for election to that office next year and, it is cjr rfntly reported, assured his friend. Colonel Gantenbein, that if he still should be an aspirant for that office lie would give him his support. Within the last week Mr. McCamant has reiterated that he will not eek the place in the coming election. This has given rise to the surmise that Mr. McCamant intends and will resign from the Supreme Court about the first of : the year if he gains the assurance of Governor Withycombe that he will name Colonel Gantenbein to complete the unexpired term of Mr. Eakin for which Justice McCamant originally was named. This term will expire Janu ary 5, 1919. Judge Littlefield Is Succesnor. E. V. Littlefield was appointed as successor of Circuit Judge Gantenbein on August 29 by Governor Withycombe, who, in his letter of appointment, said the selection was made with the under standing that if Judge Gantenbein re turned to the state and desired to re sume the office, the appointee should relinquish the place. In accepting the appointment Mr. Littlefield notified the Governor that if Judge Ganten bein returned to the state and desired to return to the Circuit Judgeship prior to January 1, 1919, the date of expira tion of his term of office, he would re linquish the office in accordance with the Governor's wishes. A week ago Colonel Gantenbein telegraphed Judge Littlefield that he had decided to reject the commission of Major offered him in the National Army and retain instead a Colonelcy in the Reserve Corps. In view of this decision, he announced that he would return to Portland, presumably with the intention of resuming the circuit judgeship. Elevation Seems Sore. Announcement from Salem that Judge Littlefield has not delivered his resignation to the Governor, coupled with- the rumor that the incumbent has been requested for the present to withhold his resignation. Is believed to confirm the report that Colonel Gan tenbein is to be elevated to the Supreme Court and will not displace Judge Littlefield. Ever since the receipt of Colonel Gantenbein's telegram. Judge Little field has been besieged personally and by letter not to relinquish the judge ship until formally requested so to do by the Governor. Many lawyers have argued with him that it is up to the Governor, who dictated the conditions by which Judge Littlefield was ap pointed, to interpret those conditions himself and determine when Colonel Gantenbein had officially returned to the state and was entitled to resume the office from which he resigned. Littlefield to Keep Word. Discussing this phase of the situa tion yesterday. Judge Littlefield merely said that he intended to keep his word with the Governor and would tender his resignation as soon as Colonel Gantenbein had returned to Portland and indicated when he wished to re sume his duties as Circuit Judge. It is known that Judge Littlefield is clear ing up the work of his court and ar ranging his affairs preparatory . to sur rendering the office about December 1. What his action will be, as already has been indicated, depends entirely on the expressed wishes of Colonel Ganten bein. Should Colonel Gantenbein be ap pointed to the Supreme Court, Judge Littlefield would continue as Circuit Judge until his successor is elected next year and qualified for the office.

SALEM, Or.. Nov. 9. (Special.) "If Judge Littlefield resigns as Circuit Judge of Multnomah County. Judge Gantenbein will be reappointed to "suc ceed him." This dead-open-and-shut declaration coming from Governor "Withycombe today seems to nullify the effect of any present or prospective protests against the -naming of Judge Gantenbein for his old position upon his return to Portland. "As I have stated previously," the Governor continued, "whether Judge Littlefield resigns is a matter entirely between himself and Judge Gantenbein. But when his resignation comes, if it does. I have no hesitancy in saying that I will reappoint Judge Gantenbein. While the Governor did not sayso. it is known that the executive has a let ter from Judge Littlefield in which he states he intends to resign upon the return of Judge Gantenbein and the executive has' taken that as final that Judge Littlefield will resign under those conditions. Nothing is said in this letter, and it is understood that nothing was said in the aerreement between Judges Littlefield and, Gantenbein. as to Judge Ganten bein's postponing his return until the close of the war. Governor Withycombe says that he has received a few letters of protest against the reappointment of Judge Gantenbein, but such letters have not attained the proportions of an organ ized protest. If petitions to that effect have been signed, none so far has found its way to the executive offices. Objection to Fixing Market Prices Will Be Fought. Phone your want ads to The Ore HANDS BIGHT UBLIC BENEFIT MINIMIZED Purchases Made in Stores and at Stalls Show No Difference, So Housekeepers Do Not Get -Middlemen's Profits. The city -will fight for the right to regulate maximum prices charged by producers in the Yamhill-street public market. A number of producers have brought suit in the Circuit Court to enjoin the city from interfering with prices. This case will be contested. Following a recent investigation by Mayor Baker and City Commissioner Bigelow, it was found that public mar ket prices are virtually the same as in private markets throughout the city. Commissioner Bigelow accordingly In structed Market Master Eastman to fix maximum prices in the market so as to shave off a little of the profit to the producers. His action along this line is the cause of the present injunction suit. "As I see the proposition," said Com missioner Bigelow yesterday, "the deal ers who are fighting our price-cutting policy are on unreasonable ground There is no reason in the world why producers should go into the public market and charge as much for their wares as is charged by stores. In other words, these dealers want to take all the profit resulting from their being purpose of the market is to give at least a part of this profit to the con sumer. - "The city furnishes selling space at nominal charge and includes light. water and Janitorial service. In re turn for this the public is entitled to lower - prices." '. Mayor Baker recently had a commit tee of women make purchases of pro duce in the public market and similar produce in various stores in the city. It was found that prices were virtually the same all around. He submitted facts, along this line to Commissioner Bigelow and after making additional inquiries he put into effect the order to shave the maximum prices. No at tempt is made to fix minimum prices, the dealers being allowed to go as low as they wish, but are forbidden to Bell for more than the maximum price es tablished. Those of the producers who are seek ing to have the city enjoined from fix ng the maximum prices are B. Blohm, H. Taylor, Mrs. Riley. Bertha Bishop- rick, J. H. Harris, Mrs. W. A. Voigt, K. K. Kaser. F. A. Forbes. F. A. Greg ory, W. Irving Spencer, A. L. Schwabel. Mrs. C. O. Hornintz. S. T. Williams, William McConnell and Mrs. B. G. Boardman.
