TUFT SLOW TO ACT
E
Ellis and Hawley Consulted
About Successors to Reed
and Dunne.
SENATOR GROWS ANXIOUS
Places Wanted for Sinnott and
Hofer, but Editor Is Obnoxious

Mncement Due Soon.
WTEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, March 5. Senator Bourne - hfts
demanded the scalps of United States
Marshal C. J. Reed and Collector of
Internal Revenue David M. Dunne.
Reed's scalp unquestionably he will se
cure; as to Dunne's there is seeroingr
some uncertainty, but If Bourne has his
way J. Frank Sinnott. of Portland, will
become Marshal and E. Hofer will ex
change his editorial chair in Salem for
that long filled by Dunne in the Collec
tor's office In Portland.
These two offices ' have been regarded
as strictly Senatorial patronage, and it
has been assumed that men of Bourne's
selection would . be nominated whenever
he filed his recommendations, his col
league betas -barred from participation
because a Democrat.
But President Taft today s-jnt for and
discussed with Representatives Bills and
Hawley qualifications of various candi
dates for marshalship and collectorship.
from which it may be Inferred that the
President Is not as yet prepared to act
entirely on Bourne's recommendations.
President's Course Vnusual.
It is unusual for a President to con
sult Congressmen about questions of Sen
atorial patronage, and the fact that he
has done so In this Instance tends to
create uncertainty as to his purpose with
regard to two Oregon offices, which
Bourne is now trying to fill with his own
men.
Neither Ellis ror Hawley feels free to
discus? what happened at the White
House, -beyond admitting they were con
sulted (about questions of patronage and
the qualification of candidates.
It 1s believed that they filed no recom
mendations for either place, but availed
themselves of the opportunity to discu
frankly all candidates whose names were
mentioned by the President. If Hawley
and Ellis frankly expressed their opinion
of Hofer (and it is to be prsaumed they
did not waste this golden opportunity),
and if President Taft attaches Importance
to their opinion. Hofer will not toe forced
to Rell his print-shop and move to Port
land, for It te no secret that Oregon's
Cringressmen regard Salem's editor as
being pestiferous and obnoxious, and not
the kind of man they want to see re
warded by the Republican Administra
tion. (tegular Appointments I'rgeu'.
Always heretofore, when discussing
questions of patronage with the Presi
dent. Hawley and Ellis have urged that
none but straight Republicans be ap
pointed to Federal offices in Oregon, and
there Is no reason to believe they de
parted from this rule today.
Sinnott. although not regular in his Re
publicanism, and although identified with
the opposition faction, is not regarded as
'o objectionable as Hofer. and It la pre
sumed that nothing but his political
record was criticised.
David M. Dunne has not made any ap
peal for continuance in office, though it
Is understood h would like to remain.
His office. Is not filled for any particular
term of years, for collectors of Internal
revenue, once commissioned, serve indefi
nitely, in the pleasure of the President.
Dunne's record in entirely satisfactory
to the department and regular Repub
licans of Oregon are understood to favor
his continuance. Such a course will be
entirely satisfactory to Ellis and Hawley.
E. B. Colwell Considered.
Early It the Taft Administration Dr.
Henry W. Coe placed on record a strong
recommendation of Elmer B. Colwell, of
Portland, for appointment as United
States Marshal to' succeed Reed. Since
then many other letters of recommenda
tion in his behalf have been filed, signed
by prominent regular Republicans of
Oregon. Colwell's qualifications prob
ably will receive consideration by the
President before nominations are made.
Senator Bourne said today that he had
not y.et filed formal Indorsement of any
one, though be Is known to be intensely
anxious that the President fill both these
offices Immediately. Neither Hawley
nor Ellis can say who will be appointed,
and presumably no choice has yet been
made, though the matter will likely come
to a head next week".

Now the g-aeoline engine Is cranked, the

Army Maneuvers Postponed.
Brigadier-General Marion P. Maus. U.
S. A., commanding the Department of ths
Columbia, was unable to attend yester
day, and consequently the military ma
neuvers were not given. The only Army
officers to witness the flights yesterday
were Colonel R. 3. Bberts, chief surgeon
of the medical corps at Vancouver Bar
racks, and Captain John Newbury Brad
ley, of the Fourteenth Regiment of In
fantry. Today, General Maus with his entire
staff and officers of the signal corps
will attend, though not officially. Hamil
ton will attempt to drop a bag of sand
within a prescribed circle while several
hundred feet in the air. Another man
euver will be a wireless telephone conver
sation between the aviator while flying
and General Maus. This is a feat In
which the Army officers are particularly
interested.
Full half as many remained on the
high plateau on the north side of the
grounds. From thls point a splendid
vista of the events was stolen. This
is probably accounted for by the fact
that one dollar was charged In admis
sion and the same amount for grand
stand seats. At a meeting of the com
mittee last night, it was decided to
cut this down and make the general
admission to any seat one dollar.

Wemme's Machine Files First.
Sentiment entered Into the commence
ment of the meet. On account of the
desire of E. Henry Wemme, a Portland
man, to own the first aeroplane flying
here, Hamilton was asked to make the.
first trial In it. This was done, though
it was not extended, for hs flew only a
few hundred feet. Hamilton, however.

Mayor Simon ppent nearly two hours on
the grounds, and was one of the most
interested fpectators of the flights of
Hamilton. The executive followed the
operations with intense interest, and alo
took occasion to inspect the machine.
"This is worth coming a good deal
