Term.
CONFERS WITH COSGROVE

and GoTernor-Elect Selection
of Man for Long- Term
Bring in Complication.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nor. 2S (Special.)
To All the unexpired term of Justice
Mllo A. Root, resinned. Governor Al
ert E. Mead Mondar will likely name
Justice-elect Stephen J. Chadwick.
overnor Mead lias been in Seattle all
dar and ha held lenrtlij- conferences
with prominent members of the King;
ConntT bar concerning this move.
Governor Mead stated this evenlntr
that he would make his decision known
Monday. Conferences have bei"n held
hy wire today between the Governor
and Governor-elect Coscrove. who Is in
California. Judire Chadwick Is now on
the superior bench of Whitman County
and a successor to him must be ap
pointed. This position also will fall to
the lot of Governor Mead to fill.
May Succeed Chadwick.
When It comes to ehoosinjr a jiic-ress-r
to Judge liadwiok. who will
enter upon his own- term of office at
the beKinnina: of the year, thtnsrs will
assume a different attitude. At this
time It Is known that Governor-elect
Cosa-rove is partial to the selection of
.M. F. Gose. of . Pomeroy. . Cosgrove's
home town, and Gose also has consid
erable backing among political and in
fluential members of the King County bar.
On the point of selecting another
Judge from the east side of the moun
tains there is a division. The Cov
ern..r Is reluctant to appoint another
Justice from Kastrn Washington. The
east of the mountain jurists are nu
merically preponderant on the bench at
the present time, and Governor Mead
takes the stand that a Western Wash
ington man should be selected. The
Governor contends that there Is a
geographical aspe. t to the Supreme
Court that must, plways ne ronnurr
for the best intcres-ts of the state as a
w hole.
Humphries' Friends Ac-live.
The Governor s reasons are not min
isterial to local pride, but he believes
that a mans knowledge Is more or
less affected by the Interests of the
community In which he lives, and
that his legal practice Is more or less
restricted. Kast of the mountains de
velops lawyers with what might be
railed agricultural-legal experience,
while west of the mountains there is
the timber, mining and other inter
ests, which Governor Mead believes
need representation on the Supreme
bench.
No concerted effort lias been made
In King County to secure the appoint
ment of any man. with the exception
.if Judgo Humphries. Kriends of Judge
Humphries have called the attention of
Governor Mead to the merits of the
King County man, but It is practically
assured that Judge Humphries will
not be chosen.
Carrying Out Cos-grove'a Policies.,
At a meeting held In Tacoma today
by Pierre County legislative delega
tions. Judge Kmmet X. Parker was in
dorsed as the successor of Justice
Koot. and his claims will -be laid before
Governor Mead possibly before a final
decision la made.
It Is known that Governor Mead Is
desirous of carrying out whatever of
Governor-elect Cosgrove's policies that
he ran without embarrassment, and the
final decision Is to appoint Chadwick
for the unexpired term and leave It to
Cosgrove to name his successor.

LIQUOR ISSUE IX GRAXT.
l'allnre of County Court to Post Five
Notices In Fach of 12 Precincts
Will Reopen Saloons.
CANYON CITY. Or.. Nov. "S. Spe
cial. A copy of the State Supreme Court
decision levrrsinR the District Court of
the Seventh Judicial District in the Grant
County local option case, has reached
Attornev V. tl. Cozad. who conducted the
case for the liquor deaieis. This de
cision oTen.s the way for retail liquor
dealers In tlrarit County to resume the
business of selling liquor, notwithstand
ing the majoritv of i'l' In favor of local
option in the June election.
The decision Is of interest to Malheur
County, where It Is understood that like
ases are pending which District Judge
;eorge K. Davis refuses to pass upon
until the Supreme Court has passed upon
the tlrant County rase. In fact It Is
thought that the opinion of the Supreme
'ourt in this matter will have a wide In
fluence in many parts of the state, where
Irregularities in publishing notices In
compliance with the law can be proven.
Many prominent attorneys of the state
liave kept close track of the case, and
Attorney Coud has been called upon by
most of them for an outline of the case
and court decisions relied upon to win.
The following Is Mr. Cozad's resume of
the rase and Its consequences:
Notice Xot Properly Posted.
"The ult was brought by Guernsey
Clark, retail liquor dealers, to restrain
the County Court from maklnic an order
declaring prohibition to have carried as
a, result of the election last June by vli-
: . ft
tue of a petition to the County Court and
the order of that body calling such elec
tion. Plaintiffs contended the election was
invalid, for the reason that five copies
of the njjice of election were not posted
in each precinct 12 days prior to the
election. It was stipulated in the lower
courts that In certain precincts this re
quirement was not complied with. The
Circuit Court held thai the provision of
the local option law prescribing the
manner, of giving notice was dlrectoty
onlv: that the Jurisdictional notice pro
vided bv the local option law was the
order of the County Court calling the
elect .n: that a failure strictly to com
ply with the provision reqniring the post
ing of five notices did not invalidate the
election and accordingly declared the
election valid.
Court Holds to Letter or Law.
'The Supreme Court, following the
opinion of that body In the recent case
from Coos County, and the opinion of
the Supreme Courts of other states,
where similar cases have arisen In con
struing the provisions of laws providing
for special elections, holds that the no
tice of special elections must be given
strictly In the manner provided by law.
and this regardless of whether the re
sults of election would have been differ
ent had such notice been properly given.
As to general elections where the time
and place are fixed by law. notice Is not
necessary, as the electors are charared
with knowledge of the law. but In spe
cial elections, which are only held iy
virtue of an order of the County Court,
or some other condition, precedent, such
knowledge is not presumed, and the no
tice must be given as the law provides."
Liquor Men Elated.
The Supreme Court refused to accept
as valid the plea of the State's Attorney
that the notice was sufficient In fact and
that the knowledge of the election was
such that no Injury resulted trom the
failure to comply with the law. declaring
that "this ran never he known." and
citing the fact that several candidates
and measures received more votes than
were polled oil the local option question.
Liquor men are elated and have already
drawn applications for licenss to sell
liquor. On the oilier hand, local option
Ists are Hireling their loins for another
battle and say their water measures will
be water-tight next time.
Because of its great importance in
every part of the state affected oy the
prohibition vote, the dcision was ren
dered in record-breaking time and was
written by Chief Justice Bean.

BAKER CITT, Or.. Nov. 2S. i Special.)
Following the disclosure of Armond

Pinkerton detectives that he had wilfully
started six fires in this city during the
past few weeks, -destroying property
amounting to nearly SlflO.flflO in value, lata
this evening the authorities arrested W.
H. Lamb, a man about ) years of age, on
the charge of being an accomplice of
young Anthony's incendiary work.
Suspicion lias pointed to Lamb for sev
eral days, but officers waited to make
his arrest until they had more evidence
In their possession.
Lamb is considered a man of weak
Intellect. He has a wife and family .who
are 111. and the scene that confronted the
officers when the warrant was served
was pathetic. Lamb Is remembered here
as having at one time been before the
public In furnishing testimony that con

a crime against his own child. This was
about two years ago. and Crumpy received
a 15 veara' sentence for the crime. Later

UNITE FOR FREE HIDES
(Continued from "irt Pase.l
ingr .10 tanners making enameled
leather, declared tnat the tariff of 15
per cent on hides was a rank injustice
to everybody except .the packers.
The duty on hides was denounced as a
bounty on one industry for the benefit
of another by C. M. Jones, president of
the New Kngland Shoe He Learner Asso
ciation, lie predicted that "within three
years every Independent tanner would be
driven out of business by the packers."
Payne's Neighbor for Free Hides.
"Pavne's neighbor" then appeared. He
was CharlejS K. McCarthy, a shoe manu
facturer, of Auburn. X. Y. He Introduced
his plea for free hides by saying he be
longed to the same church as Mr. Payne.
"Get a little closer to the stenographer."
directed Mr. Payne. "I don't want any
of this to miss getting into the record."
Mr. McCarthy said that the consumer
would stand a better show for the same
monev If the hides were brought In free.
John W. Craddock. of Lynchburg. Va..
spoke for Southern manufacturers In be
half of free hides.
Charles Keifcr. of Chicago, represent

dcclard the removal of the duty on
hides would benefit the whole country.
Where Appendicitis Is Involved.
A demand for a duty on surgical
catgut and on refined wool grease waa
made by Charles lleber Clark, of Phila
delphia. "You may think this duty on
catgut Is funny, but If you get appen
dicitis and are stitched up with Impure
catgut you may change your mind."
said Mr. Clnrk.
The discussion of the duty on leather
gloves developed into a dissertation on
the luxuriant fancy of women and the
return of prosperity.
Frederick W. Brooks, of New York,
representing glove Importers, asked for
a reduction of duty, while ex-Representative
T. X. Liltauer. of Glovers

asked that the duty on mens gloves
be retained and that the duty on
women's and children's gloves be In
creased so as to build up their manu

Alfred Benjamin & Co., Makers, New York
Standard and Seabright
THE "STANDARD, as its name implies, and as
the picture shows, is a rather conservative
model, made, however, in the unmistakable
Benjamin way, with Xew York style showing in
everj line.
The Standard Suit is made of those handsome
dark materials that are in good taste on all occasions.
Solid blues and blacks, -in serges, cheviots, un
finished worsteds, and the quieter sort of designs in
fancy materials.
In the Seabright, Alfred Benjamin & Co. -have
put fabrics of a little more pronounced style, fancy
patterns in olive, slate and various shades of brown
and gray. "
Both these materials are well worth seeing.
The pric.es arc right.

know it.
