NEW FEATURE TO CONTEST rKF.SIPF.XT OF SENATE MAY BECOME GOVERXOK. Snunil in Line should tioverrror Be come Senator and Benson Resign. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 28. (Special.) The -contest over the Presidency of the State Senate is of particular interest at the coming session of the legislature because. In case of the election of t'Jov ernor Chamberlain to the United States Senate, the President of the Senate would be second in succession to the Governorship. The fact that Secretary of State Benson has been ill several times during his two years of service and that there have been rumors of his resignation, makes the Presidency of the Senate still more important. The constitution provides that in case rf vacancy in the office of Governor, the oftice shall devolve upon the Secre tary of State. The Supreme Court has held that under such a contingency the Secretary becomes tjovernor in fact and that he continues in office as Governor even though his term as Secretary may terminate. That ruling was made in the case of Governor Chadwirk. who lield both offices at one time. The term of office as Secretary ended when tha Legislature met but Chadwlck as serted and exercised the right to con tinue as Governor until the new Gov ernor had been Inaugurated, which took place several days later. It Is therefore apparent that If Gov ernor Chamberlain should become Sen ator. Secretary Benson would become Governor. He could then resign as Sec retary and appoint his successor in that , position for. under the decision of the Supreme Court in the Chadwlck case, he would- hold the ofnee of Governor re gardless of his incumbency as Secre tary. The question then arises whether. In case Benson should resign the Gov ernorship or die -or suffer other disa bility, the oftice of Governor would de volve upon the President of the Senate r upon the newly appinted Secretary ot State. The constitution provides that 'ln case of the death, resignation or in ability, both of the Governor and Secre tary of State, the President of the Sen ate shall act as Governor. In case of a double vacancy occurring at the same time, there could be no doubt that the President of the Scnave would be come Governor, but since the Supreme Court has held that the Secretary may continue as Governor though he ceases in the meantime to be Secretary of State, there is a doubt whether the President of the Senate would take precedence over an appointed Secretary of State. Since the contest over the election of a Senator and the fight for the Presidency of the Senate has waxed warm, there has been considrab'e dis cussion of these questions aiound the capital. Secretary of State Benson Is now In fairly good health, though still suffer ing from a malady for which he re ceived treatment while in California last Summer. His severe illness soon after his installation aa Secretary o'f State, when he broks down under the strain of overwork, raises a doubt whether he would or could undertake to nil the two offices of Secretary and Governor. In the two offices he would be a majority of all the State Boards. Put if be should retain both offices the "President of the Senate would be next la line for the Governorship and might fea In that position even if the Governor Grant Rollins Gives Himself Up' to Salem Police. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 18. (Special.) A man giving the name of Grant Rollins appeared at the office of Chief of Police Gibson today, confessed that he had obtained property by fraud in Portland and asked to be taken into custody. The Chief had no request for the man's arrest, but locked him up.

AGREKMEXT NOT A SURPRISE rnderatandlng Between L'nlted States and Japan KaorabIe. BRRUN. Nov. 2S. The rfport of an un dersiandlnjj between the United States and Japan, guaranteeing the Integrity of China and providing for the maintenance of the status quo in the Pacific, did not come as a surprise- to official circles in H-Tlin. but otherwise no one has been led to suspect the existence of any such understanding". Officially, the declara tion was greeted with the greatest satis faction, as likely to dispose of all reason for a conflict in the Pacific. At the same time the confirmation of the industrial and commercial equality of the powers In 'China Is considered as fur ther strengthening the policy of the open door. Altogether the agreement is regarded as an important guarantee of the constancy In the further development of political relations in the Far East. The greatest advantage to be derived therefrom by China is that the Chinese can henceforth, wittiout fear of external difficulties, pro ceed with Internal reforms which will ben tit materially all Nations having com mercial relations with her. The newspapers here received the agree ment as disposing of a number of danger ous questions in which Europe also was deeply concerned and they comment favorably . upon President Roosevelt therein. Tle Tageblatt says: "The American Nation will be able to say that President Roosevelt hands over to his successor a' well ordered house. rot only internally but externally. The PreswltMit scored a great success before leaving securing an agreement between the United States and Japan which will b. of extraordinary importance if It dispels the possibility of conflict that for many months has made the world uneasy. First the Japanese immigration question was settled and now the Philip pines are guaranteed to America by Japan. Mr. Taft's visit to Tokio has borne fruit. The new agreement will be advantageous to China and the foreign policy of the United States has thus un derstood how to lay the ghost of the yellow peril.

Money of Bankrupt Rooth Company in Philadelphia Claimed by As-i toria Men, but Chicago Cred itors Will Contest. CHICAGO. Xov. 28. Official court an nouncements regarding the affairs of A. Booth & Co. yesterday first spread Joy and then sorrow among- the cred itors. There is still considerable un certainty about the reorganization. The jubilation was caused by a de cree of Judge Kohlsaat directing the Central Trust Company to turn over to Receiver . J. Chalmers 135:000. which the Girard National Bank of Philadel phia had tied up in state court pro ceedings. That sum would have swelled the assets. But the good news .was soon offset by the announcement from a court In Oregon that J2O00 due employes of a subsidiary concern would have to be paid before that court would recognize the rights of Receiver Chalm ers. Ttu.t means the creditors are only $11,001- ahead. The $24. 000 claim in the Oregon court Is principally for wages due fishermen. Attorneys for the Booths may contest the order on the ground that the re ceiver has prior rights and those em ployes will be treated the same as other creditors. Judge Kohlsaat's decision was re garded as a big victory for the cred itors. When the petition In bankruptcy was filed on September 10 the Booths had about $.;0.000 on deposit In the Cen tral Trrst Company's Bank, and the Philadelphia bank garnlsheed $35. 0J0 of it. As the receiver was appointed that afternoon and the attachment was not filed until later. Judge Kohlsaat decided It was merely a question of priority. , MUST PAV FISHERMEN FIRST Astoria Claims Alleged, to Have , Preference Over Others. Fearing delays In the reorganiza tion plans of A. Booth & Co.. of Chi cago, with a subsidiary concern at As toria, attorneys for the nshermen who were employed by the firm at Astoria have petitioned Judge Wolverton to notify w. J. Chalmers, the Kastern re ceiver, that after . November 29, the time set for the hearing here, no fur ther time will be allowed the company. Something like $24,000 is due the As toria fishermen and the attorneys want this money paid over to the employes, or an order issued winding up the Oregon interests of the concern. While Judere Wolverton has not Is sued an order to this effect, he in formed the attorneys for the creditors that they could notify the receiver that no further time would be granted. This has been done and from dis patches from Chicago, it Is evident that the Federal courts of Illinois will be called upon to block any action that may be taken In Oregon. Judge Wol verton apninted Fred Barker, of As toria, receiver for the subsidiary con cern. Property worth $120,000 is owned by the firm in Oregon, and It s alleged that unless the wages of the fishermen are paid and the business carried on. the value of the property will be de creased. The petition demands the payment of the fishermen before the right of Receiver Chalmers- is recog nized, on the ground that skilled la borers are used In fishing and that un less they are paid they will quit work and the subsidiary concern will go to the wall.
