HAREY
SENATORIAL TOGA '

Ease -Loving Senator
Has Enough.
PEOPLE ARE TOO EXACTING
Vice-Presidential Boom, How
ever, Is Idle Talk.
STRONGER MAN IS WANTED
Oregon Member In Mood Not to itun
Again for Present Seat, Which
He Finds Involves Much Be
sides Mere Honor.
BT HARRY J. BROWN.
OREUONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 30. In view of the fact
that Senator Chamberlain thinks of re
tiring voluntarily from the Senate at
th close of his present term or so In
forms some of his Senatorial col
leagues, talk of nominating him for
th Vice-Presidency next year would
seem to be mere Idle gossip. It Is no
more likely that the Democratic con
vention would pick an Oregon man for
the Vice-Presidential nomination than
that the Republican convention would
select Senator Bourne for second place
on tha Republican ticket, and yet
Bourn haa been mentioned, and Is un
derstood to have aspirations.
Job Grows Tiresome.
Th fact about Senator Chamberlain
Is that he Is getting tired of his Job
In Washington. He does not say so
publicly, and has not authorized the
publication of any such statement. But
he has talked more or less with friends
of late, and frequently he has conveyed
the unmistakable Impression that on
lerm In th Senate will aatlsfy him.
Senator Chamberlain Is only one of
many men who have attained a seat In
th Senate only to becom discour
aged with, the Job after a very
brief service. Being a Senator Is not
all honor. There Is a great deal of
work attached to It. and there Is so
much work, as to make the position
unattractive to a man who has come
to love bis ease. There are men In tha
Senate whs do not let public duties
Interfere with their ease, but they do
not represent bustling Western states.
Western Constituent Exacting.
The West demands hard work from
Its Representatives In Congress. It In
sists upon recelv ,g constant attention,
and the citizens of the West have so
many more personal requests to make
than do th average citizens of the
older states or the East. That Is be
cause th West Is growing and devel
oping, and needs Congressional aid.
Th East Is pretty well developed;
land matters have ceased to be; there
are no Indian problems; no forestry
troubles: no irrigation projects to be
looked after; no new river and harbor
projects needing adoption, and com
pared to the Western Senator, his col
league In the East has a comparatively
easy time of It-
According to bis talks with friends.
Senator Chamberlain does not feel
equal to the strain Imposed upon him.
He does not feel that he can devote
all th time and energy necessary to
satisfy bis constituency and his state,
and he has expressed a willingness to
retire and permit some younger and
more sturdy, man to don the toga.
Opinion May Change.
Of course It Is three years until Sen
ator Chamberlain comes up for renom
Inatlon. He may. In that time, change
his opinion, as have others who. In the
early part of their careers, have talked
as he Is talking now. Being a Senator
grows on a man. "There Is a fascina
tion about It that one cannot resist
after he has been here on term." as
on Senator expressed It. and it may
be that befor the end of Senator
Chamberlain's term, he may succumb
to this fascination, and declare him-

MURPHY DRAWS SOME
TAFT FAITHFUL TO
DYING MAN'S WISH
APPOIXTMEXT FULFILLS RE
QUEST OF REPRESENTATIVE.
Mitchell of Kansas Gave Life to Vote
for Reciprocity; Friend Now
Named Postmaster.
WASHINGTON. July 2J. In sending
to the Senate the nomination of Charles
a Finch as postmaster at Lawrence.
Kn, President Taft today complied
with the dying request of the late A. C.
Mitchell, Representative of the second
Kansas district, and proved that poli
tics Is not always so cold-blooded as
painted.
Mr. Mitchell promised the President
to vote for reciprocity early In the
present session. Long before the time
for a vote came, however, he was taken
seriously 111. He returned to Kansas
and physicians told blm he was a very
sick man. He said that no matter how
sick he might be. he would keep his
promise to President Taft, go to Wash
ington, and vote for reciprocity. In
spite of the physicians he made the
trip and cast his vote for the bill. Soon
after his return to Kansas he died.
A day or two before the end Mrs.
Mitchell wrote to President Taft for
her husband, asking that Mr. Finch be
made Postmaster at Lawrence. Mrs.
Mitchell added that Senator Bristow
was opposed to Finch and Senator Cur
tis might prove favorable. The day
the letter reached the White House,
Mr. Mitchell died. The President called
in the two Kansas Senators, told the
story and asked them if they would
oppose Finch. They assured him they
would gladly help to grant the request.

Insurance Bill Makes Minis
terial Life Borden.
BY T. P. O'CONNOR.
f'opy-rlpht. inn. by the Tribune Company.
LONDON', July 22. (Special.) All is
over except the shouting in the veto
contest. Premier Asqulth's letter gives
A. J. Balfour and Lord Lansdowne the
excuse they sought for a complete sur
render. The backwoodsmen still sputter of
revolt, and the Morning Post cries for
war, but Lord Lansdowne and every
radical peer and every Unionist Jour
nal of Importance, even those which sat
on the fence up to today, all counsel
submission on the remaining questions,
whether the submission shall come by
Tuesday or a week later.
German Situation Perilous.
A second bombshell winds up the
week. Lloyd-George's speech Is a veiled
menace to Germany regarding Moroc
co. It Is more remarkable coming from
a sworn advocate of peace and a fierce
enemy of war and adds oil to the al
ready dangerous flame of feeling
aroused In all classes of England by
the seizure of Agadir and the reported
demands of Germany on the Congo, I
believe everything will be composed in
the end, but the situation Is serious.
The veto struggle, which has been
going on for months, assumes a new
shape. It no longer Is a contest be
tween the Liberal and Tory leaders,
but between the Tory leaders and their
own wilder followers.
Lansdowne Forced to Choose.
Now one of two things must happen.
After the veto bill, with all the amend
ments made by the Lords rejected, is
sent back to the upper chamber from
the Commons, either the Lords will
submit without a division or they will
challenge a division. Then Lansdowne
will have to make a painful choice be
tween voting in favor of the bill and
against his own followers or of allow
ing the bill to be rejected and thus
compelling the creation of the peers.
My Impression Is not in the least
weakened that Lansdowne, If It comes
to that point, will support the veto bill
rather than allow the creation of the
peers.
Every sane Tory realizes that the
creation of the new peers means Liberal
omnipotence during three eventual
years and the death of the old House
of Lords and the final extirpation of all
prestige of titles in England.
Balfour has given Indication that he
will not countenance resistance to the
bitter, end and announces that he is
going soon to Gastein for the cure.
Tide Rising Against Balfour.
On the whole, the crisis of the
present stage, affects the prospects of
the Tory leaders much more nearly
than the Liberals. Discontent against
Balfour is rising more highly every
day and possibly some of the Tory ex
tremists are pushing things in the hope
of ending Balfour's long leadership and
of replacing him by Austen Chamber
lain or some other more convinced pro
tectionist. The crisis is over and noth
ing special will happen, not even the
resignation of Balfour.
The other topic of the week was the
terrific struggle of Chancellor Lloyd
George to get his Insurance bill carried
this session. His difficulties show no

VANCOUVER. Wash., July 22. (Spe

Is the active head, has been established
by the City Council and Mayor of Van

by contract, and there is a clause In
the contracts requiring the contractors

on the work. The contractors have
had a hard time to get enough men to
do the work, so the Council has come
to their rescue. When a man wants a
Job, he files his application with the
Chief of Police, who has a list of the
contractors, to whom he sends the men
seeking work.

more than a quarter million dollars on'
the County Courthouse, $1600 for bronze
lamps at the entrances of the building
and will spend $10,000 more in mural
painting for its walls, no money is left
to kalsomlne the walls of the County

Case Again Left to Attorney-General.
WEBB'S OPINION SUBMITTED
Law Officer Says No Crime
Has Been Committed. .
FACTS TO BE REVIEWED
Cameron Must Overcome Views Al
ready Expressed Governor of
California Calls Oregon Pros
ecutor "Ignoramus."
SAN FRANCISCO, July 22. (Special.)
Governor Johnson today, after a further
hearing of the application for the extra
dition of Louis J. Wilde, presented to
District Attorney Cameron an opinion
written by Attorney-General Webb, of
California, holding that no crime had
been committed, but said that he would
delay his final decision to give Cameron
an opportunity to confer with Webb.
Should the California Attorney-General
change his mind, said Governor
Johnson, he would honor the requisi
tion, but he said he wanted it to be
made plain that he would not sign the
papers if Webb continued to hold that
there has been no crime, as he has held
before.
Governor Is Sarcastic.
Johnson was sarcastic in his treat
ment of Cameron at the hearing today.
Because Johnson had refused to sign the
requisition and had continued the case
from day to day, Cameron declared that
it was unusual for the Governor of a
state to refuse to honor the requisition
of the Governor of a sister state. At
the close of the hearing today Johnson
made a caustic verbal assault on Cam
eron. Turning toward the Oregon Dis
trict Attorney, who was seated Just on
the other side of the table, Johnson
said:
"You have said there is something
unusual In this proceeding because I
refused to grant these extradition
papers. There is nothing unusual about
it. It Is a proceeding always held when
letters of extradition are protested. If
you have said it was unusual you dis
play a profound ignorance of the law.
Do you know that just such proceedings
were recently taken by the Governor
of Oregon and since the first of the
year?
Case Left to Webb.
"You have appeared here three times
and your statements of facts have been
the same. Now please understand me,
once for all. You confer with the Attorney-General
of California. Present
him with all your facts and if he de
cides that a crime has been committed
by Wilde in the State of Oregon on
your statements of facts, I will ex
tradite this man. If thex Attorney
General says there has been no crime
committed I will not extradite him.
Now, Is that plain?"
The hearing ended abruptly.
Governor Johnson had previously in
dicated that he did not intend to honor
the extradition request of Oregon's
Governor for one of his appointees.
He said that he had presented all the
facts to Attorney-General Webb and
that the Attorney-General had decided
that tne crime of embezzlement for
which Wilde was Indicted had never
been committed. The ruling was made
on a technicality.
There is no dispute over the fact
that 1700 stockholders of the Oregon
Savings & Trust Company, which failed,
had suffered by Wilde's alleged em
bezzlement of $00,000. The dispute is
over the point whether it was em
bezzlement, or an offense with another
name.
First Opinion Rejected.

Attorney Cameron presented his facts,
