BY SUMNER CURTIS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (Special.)
The second session of the Sixty-second
Congress will open on Monday. Having
perfected its organization -when it met
In extraordinary session at the call of
the President last Spring, Congress
will be ready to go right ahead with
the work It Is paid to perform. The
question, however. Is: Will It be a do
nothing or a do-aomethlng session?
Representative Mann, minority lead
er In the House, haa expressed - the
opinion that It will bo a do-nothing
Congress.
Congress la ready to proceed with
Ita work, but the statement ought to
be qualified a little. The Senate Is
confronted with a reopening of the
President pro tempore fight and this is
likely to afford considerable excite
ment at the outset- It may be a pro
longed contest, but it need not inter
fere greatly with the regular routine
business. The Senate can worry along
without a President pro tempore,
whereaa the House cannot do more
than mark time without a Speaker.
' Socialist Will Be Active.
Th Socialist party In Congress, con
sisting of Representative Victor Ber
ger, of Milwaukee, promises to attract
attention, at least during the Winter.
The prospectus of .Socialist activity,
embodying the measures Mr. Berger
will present, was made public today.
It Is declared his bills will "touch the
economic problem and not play with
the surface.''
Mr. Berger will offer the Socialist
remedy for the trust situation by in
troducing a bill providing for the na
tionalisation of all combinations hav
ing more than 40 per cent monopoly
of their respective Industries, and for
the repeal of the Sherman anti-trust
act. He will also Introduce bills pro
viding for the nationalization of rail
ways with express companies, coal
mines, telegraphs, and telephones. A
woman suffrage amendment to the
Constitution will be presented. .
The Lorlmer! and Stephenson cases
will take up much ofkthe Senate's time
during the session. It has been made
known that the committee will exon
erate Mr.- Stephenson, but before the
vote Is taken on the report some vig
orous thoughts pro and con are sched
uled for deliverance.
As to the Lorlmer case, there Is no
telling when the special -committee
charged with the second Investigation
of his election win be ready to report.
Extravagance to Be Assailed.
In the House a display of fireworks
that may draw attention from legisla
tion for a spell Is scheduled as an open-.
Ing number on the programme. The
eptdemlo of Investigations that pre
vailed Immediately following the
change of House control last Spring

APPOINTMENT - TO HARLAN'S
PLACE IS URGED.
Idaboan "ot Candidate and Views
as to Acceptance Are Xot

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Dec. 2. Senator Borah, of
Idaho, Is among the men the Presi
dent is seriously considering for the
appointment to Supreme bench to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Justice Harlan. Senator Borah, It Is
known. Is not a candidate for this ap
pointment. Many prominent Senators
and Representatives, regardless of
party, have been urging upon the Presi
dent hla qualifications for this high
Judicial office. Whether he would ac
cept If the office were tendered Is not
known here.
The Washington Star tonight prints
following names of those looming up
strongest at this time for Associate
Justice, in the order of their strength:
Secretary Nagel, Senator Borah, of
Idaho; Senator Sutherland, of Utah;
Solicitor Lehman, of the Department
of Justice; Judge Hook, of United
States Circuit Court of Kansas.
.Of course, the men mentioned are
not candidates, but their names and
qualifications have been suggested by
others. As to "Senator Borah, It Is
worthy of note that able lawyers of
the Senate, both Democrats and Repub
licans, have placed his name before
the President. In the Senate he is
generally regarded as having one of
the ablest Judicial ni,inus ever in that
body.
Senator Borah Is taking no public
stand against President Taft's renoml
natlon, but he is not working for the
President He and Mr. Taft have not
always agreed upon extensive ques
tions, but the President has always re
garded him as an able man.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2. (Special)
Ten thousand Harrlman buttons were
swept up in the city today by the

significant In view of the fact that It
comes immediately upon the McNamara

The assumption is that the Harrl

VICTORIA. Dec. 2. Lost for nearly
70 hours, following going on the rocks
In Kyuquot Sound, the Canadian Pa
cific steamer Tees, for which grave
fears had been entertained since
Wednesday morning, when she sent out
distress calls, Is afloat and all aboard
are safe.
Tha Canadian fisheries tug William
Jolliffe picked up a lifeboat today from
the Tees. In which were Chief Officer
Thompson and four of the steamer's
crew.
Thee men piloted the Jolliffe to the
distressed steamer and three boats are
now standing by, expecting to toWher
to Victoria tomorrow.
The. Tees came oft the rocks Bafely
and was anchored to await the arrival
of relief. Not knowing when assist
ance could be expected. Captain Gil
liam placed all hands on short rations,
two meals a day being served.
Concerts were arranged by the stew
ard and while the rescue steamers
were hurrying through the fog and
fighting the heavy seas, trying to en
ter' the sound to lend aid, those aboard
the vessel kept good cheer and whiled
away the time, merrily. There were
31 first cabin and seven second cabin
passengers.
The wfreless operator worked his
key constantly, but the interference of
the high cliffs surrounding the help
less craft prevented communication,
and, except for two distress calls,
picked up Wednesday morning and one
last night, no news of the plight of
the Tees was available until the Jolliffe
found Chief Officer Thompson and his
men today.
Thompson and his men left the Tees
three days ago to row to Estevan to
report the plight of the steamer. The
men were lost in the fog and had gono
without food since leaving the vessel.
The Tees, according to wireless re
ports received tonight, is not in a
dangerous position. When she lefttha
clay pits near the entrance to Kyuquot
Sound early Wednesday morning, she
struck a submerged rock, breaking her
propeller blade and bending her rudder
post, leaving her helpless.
After the first distress calls were
sent, out the wireless would not work
and the crew was sent for assistance.
When the lifeboat was picked up
the five men were in a state of col
lapse. Their boat required constant
balling and they were worn out by tha
work and lack of food.
The passengers have been transferred
to the steamer Salvor and probably will
arrive here tomorrow.
