Brownell of Clackamas, and A. C Smith of Multnomal. each received 11 .votes, In tha House of Representatives there la also 'a hot flgrht over the speakership. The,. Republican merabera are caucusing on it and each of the 'three -candidates, Davey of Bajem. Eddy of TiUamook. and Harris of Lane, is' confident of victory. The first ballot gave Davey 17, Eddy 16, Harris U, and. the seventh ballot stood. Davey 1. Harris 1.

The danger that organisation will not be effected today Is therefore giving ser ious concern to some of the Senatorial candidates; Filton has been doing his utmoat tot break the deadlock in the Senate caucus and secure the election of Brownell. He believed he would control the caucus by one vote, but had an unwelcome surprise. Some of Fulton's competitors for the Senatorahlp look with satisfaction on the prospect of a two-weeks' interval before the election. -They argue that Fulton haa reached the maximum of hla strength and the delay will enable, them to draw from .his forces. Delay would undoubt edly see many changes in the alignment, especially because of new combinations already forming aa a result of the death of Tongue.

Although ""it Is 'less than H hours, since 'the news of Con gressman Tongue'g - sudden - death in Washington was received, rumors of as pirants for tht office are already cur rent. ' and" ; among the politicians who save arrived In 8alera last evening and this morning, there is keen speculation as to the respective chances of the men mentloned-ss possible candidates. Interest in this topio is not confined to this Congressional District, for the creation of a vacancy in Oregon's delega tion at Washington at thia particular time la likely to have a strong Influence upon the Senatorial fight. - Of the prominent Republicans of the First District tha; two whose names are moat frequently mentioned as the prob able choice of the party to succeed Con gressman Tongue,' are Governor Oeer and Singer, Hermann. .!-. -.The former Is. of course, an avowed candidate for Sena tor, and hla friends declarethat he will remain in that "'light Jsthe. flalsh..

Even if such s program should be attempted - later,. It Is safe to say that the Governor and the land commfsf loner hare entered into no compact in the brief Interval since the Congressional vacancy occurred. Many, of Geer's friends who are less sanguine than he as to the outcome of the battle for the Senatorship. are strongly Inclined to the belief that he would have a much better chance of success aa a candldate-fOT"'"tfle"H6as' of Representatives. hey argue that If. defeated for Senator he would become the logical and the Irresistible candidate for Congressman, and that for" the lat ter nomination he would have practically no opposition. The sympathy of the Republicans' of " the district, they aay, would be with-him. and. he would win without an -effort-. Naturally enough thia argument is . warmly supported by some of Goer's rlvnla for tha Senator ship, who' would he more than pleased to see him drop out of the running. But the governor himself stands pat and says that his only fight li for Senator. HERMANN'S OPPORTUNITY. As to Blnger Hermann, his friends see the hand of an allwlse Providence in the unexpected vacancy which has occurred just on the eve of Hermann's retirement from the land office. There is no ques tion that Hermann's personal following is a large and an Influential one. His resignation will take effect at the end of this month and only Ave weeks would elapse before the beginning of the Con gressional term. . The adherents of the land commission er lay great stress upon the Importance of keeping' him at Washington, where his experience would be of great value to the state. C That Hermann would gladly accept the office is taken for granted. , Aa Congressman he would be able to pay off some political scores and to avenge some wounds that hays, been rankling- uncomfortably; of late. : - Hermann's position is unlike Goer's and he can hardly enter the Senatorial fight if he has any expectation of run ning for Congress. " OTHER PROBABILITIES. A. number of other Republicans have been mentioned as congressional prob abilities. State Senator.. George C Brownell of Oregon City ia one of them, j but he declared emphatically last -night that he would not be a candidate. Sen ator E. V. Carter of Ashland Is another, but he, too, is said to have made a sim ilar declaration. Both . Brownell and Carter were candidates for ths Congres sional nomination two years ago. Til man Ford and Claud Gatch, both of Sa lem, are regarded as possible aspirants for the nomination. w t x The law provides that in the event of the death of a Congressman-elect, the governor Bhall issue a call for a special election to fill . the vacancy. Governor Oeer. will probably .leave- It -to- his suo- ceSsor to issue this call. "I have only a day or two more in-'of- flce." he said last night, "and I shall probably take no action. Governor Chamberlain will issue the call."

The House of " Representatives has taken up the question of coal shortage and will look into It for the purpose of ascertaining the real reason and to find a remedy that wtjl prove effective. .

CHICAGO. CHICAGO. Jan. 12. There were four additional daa ths today due to the cold weather. With the temperature at 6 degreea below zero and.- with the coal famine unrelieved there ia a prospect that many families may perish for want of fuel. This morning the grand Jury resumed its investigation of the fuel situation by demanding -from the coal dealers sn ex planation of why from 10,900 to 15.000 carloads of coal have been concealed in yards adjoining Chicago. Several promi nent mine owners were ' summoned to produce their books before the grand Jury. . A startling discovery, tending to prove the theory of conspiracy upon which the gran- Jury is working, ha been made. Up to the time the Investigation was commenced cars of coal bore cards in structing the agents to hold the fuel until ..instruct lonn wre- received f nun certain menjbelieved to be members of lue combine.' , Proof that Is rapidly accumulating in the hands of the grand Jury show a gigantic conspiracy to corner all fuel. This morning all the city's ash wagons were turned over to the, Salvation Army to assist that, organisation in its chari table work among the needy. - Enough coal has been doltd out to large numbers of the extremely needy to. prevent them freezing to death, but the situation shows practically no relief.
