16 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1910. HIEY QUITS POST AS U. S. ATTORNEY Two Months' Old Resignation Goes Into Effect. BUSINESS REASON GIVEN tester YV. Humphreys, Member ol Chamberlain Law Firm, Is Kamcd as Xew Official. Bert E. Haney has tendered his resignation as United States attorney for Oregon, to take effect November 1, and Lester W. Humphreys of Port land has been recommended for the position by A. Mitchell Palmer, United States attorney-general. Announcement of the impending change came in a dispatch from Washington yesterday and the as sistants of Mr. Haney were as much surprised as anyone. Mr. Haney sent a letter of resignation two months ago when he returned from a trip to Crater lake, making his resigna tion effective January 1. "When he learned that the cases which he had started and were before the court of appeals would be disposed of in Octo ber he supplemented his original res ignation by making the date Novem ber 1. If the cement trial now . in progress ends this week, Mr. Haney intends leaving the office Saturday. Private business is assigned by Mr. Haney as the reason for his leaving the position he occupies. Business Requires Attention. "I know," said Mr. Haney, "that some will ask, 'Well, what's the real reason for the resignation,' and so this is it: My business needs me and I need It. When I accepted the appointment of United States attorney 'the law practice of Joseph & Haney was rapidly growing. I have to re turn to it some time, and it may as well be now as later. "America was in the war when I was offered the appointment, and I accepted it in the desire to help the country. This office has handled sev eral rather important war cases, such as that of Dr. Marie Equi, Henry Albers and the Toveri newspaper at Astoria, and we have had the Jones case, which recovered for the govern ment thousands of dollars on timber claims. The war is over the cases which were started after I came into the office have been disposed of, and there is no special reason why I should longer remain." Humphreys ex-Newspaper Man. Lester W. Humphries is a member of the law firm of Chamberlain, Thomas, Kraemer & Humphreys. Mr. Humphreys was formerly an active newspaper man in Portland and while "covering" the courthouse "beat" he studied law. For two years he served in the Philippines, toward the end of the insurrection. He entered an of ficers' training camp and won a com mission as captain. With the 91st di vision he became a major and estab lished a good war record in France. Politically, Mr. Humphreys is ' a democrat and was manager of Senator George E. Chamberlain's campaign five years ago when the senator was a candidate for re-election. The pre emption is that Senator Chamberlain recommended Mr. Humphreys to the attorney - general for the vacancy caused by Mr. Haney's resignation. In democratic circles there were hopes of inducing Mr. Humphreys to be a can didate for mayor next year. The rec ommendation of the attorney-general . came wihout the solicitation of Mr. Humphreys.

Circle Elsie Ferguson, "Eyes of the Soul.' CONSTANCE TALMADGE, pretty, vivacious and peppery, is the star of "A Temperamental Wife," the comedy drama now showing at the Columbia theater. There are three classes or groups of persons to which this picture should be particularly amusing. They are temperamental or suspicious wives, business girls and business men. Others, and after all there .are not so many others, will like the pic ture, too, but its complete savoriness may not perhaps be tasted by them. The plot centers about a pretty. jealous young wife who is utterly distressed by the fact that her good- looking husband has in his employ a good-looking young stenographer. The wife cannot conceive of any woman not at least attempting to "vamp" her man. So the ultimatum is delivered, a male stenographer must be substituted if a happy home is to be continued. Husband tried to argue, tried to reason, but the bride was more forceful than he in her combative. temperamental way which knew no reason and no compromise. The pic ture is a series of laughs and, while greatly exaggerated, does bring to mind some foolish persons known to more or less fame. The Columbia orchestra accom panies the picture each evening. In addition to the feature the Columbia is showing this week new pictures and a lively cartoon. - Screen Gossip. Myrtle Stedman has been engaged R. A.

Increase in Cost of Labor and Ma terials Held Responsible for Conditions Now Existing. Conducting the business of Port land Is not unlike the management of the commercial enterprises of its citizens, in that it is subject to the same economic conditions. Commis sioner Barbur told the members of the Rotary club yesterday at their weekly luncheon. It was "Navy day" at the club and the programme of music was furnished by the United States Jazz band from the Orpheum theater, through the courtesy of Frank McGettigan, and the absence of an expected speaker was compen sated for by the presence of a dainty yeomanette from the recruiting of fice who tripped some clever steps to the music of the band. Commissioner Barbur was sched uled to tell the Rotarians "What We Want to Know," and he informed them upon the conditions that have come to the city administration in dealing with constantly advancing costs of materials - and increasing wages. While it was 'entirely con sistent to decide in 1908 that an 8-mill tax levy would meet the re quirements of the municipality, the income from that levy Is not now sufficient and it is absolutely neces- ! sary to pay higher salaries or the best class of employes in service will be drawn into private employment. he said. - Aberdeen Hospital Stone Laid.
