Gives Up Chief Justiceship
of New York. Court :

EFFECTIVE AT ONCE
Leaves Esopos for tbe First Time Since
His Nomination for -president ,
'. - by Democrats and Goes
- ' v Direct to Albany.
(Joornal Special Service.)
r Albany, N. Y.Aug. . Alton Brooks
Parker at t:88 o'clock thla afternoon
handed to Secretary of State O'Brien hie
, resignation from, the chief Judgeship of
Ihe court of appeals to take effect im
mediately. Hla action waa taken after
a consultation with hla colleagues of the
bench. He arrived from Esopus at 1
o'clock, and by previous arrangement
met the Judges of the appellate bench
in the stata house at once. The con
sultation " lasted - for an hour. . Judge
Parker explained his Intended resigns.,
tion and asked for their opinions as to
Its propriety. " '.-".-,
Several of Chief Judge Parker's as
sociates en the bench have raised the
question why he should resign at all.
The provision of the atate constitu
tion' explicable to this is section 10 of
Jirtlrlel
"The Judges of the court of appeals
and the Justices of the supreme court
hall nnt tinl4 anv nlli.r nffl rm n Mil hi In
trust. All votes for any of thwm. for
any other than a judicial office, given
by the legislature or the people, shall be
- void.' . " ' i ' - : - ' . .
. Tbe & of the lw.
It Is elear under thin- that a Judge or
Justice must resign before he can be
elected governor, for' Instance, and this
was recognUed when Justice Augustus
Van Wyck resigned la.U9 to accept the
jkemocratlc nomination for governor.
Btrlctly speaking, however, It does not
.nnl.i tm. .. 1 . . a mmm.mAmml . mm
neither the legislature nor the people
vote for president. The people vote for
presidential electors, and the electors
vote for the president. So undoubtedly
the letter of the constitution does not
require a candidate for -president to re-
sign from the bench. ... 1
Judge Parker, however, Aid not stand
on the letter of the law. He Intends
to run for the presidency of the United
States, and expects to be elected.
Therefore, he - believes it proper for
him to resign. His action is a trifle
extraordinary In that . he la violating
political etiquette in .recognising the
, fact that he has been nominated before
he baa been formally notified. A candi
date Is not - supposed to know that he
-na- oeen cnoeea id run uniii ine con
vention committee has notified him of
the fact. By waiting until August 10,
the day set for his notification. Judge
Parker could have put himself into line
for - re-election td his position on the
bench.
Section i. article f of. the state con
stitution, reads:,
"When a vacancy shall occur other
wise than br expiration of term. In the
office of chief or associate Judge of the
. court of appeals. . the same shall be
filled for a full term at the next gen
eral election happening not' less than
three months after such vacancy oc
curs; 'and until the vacancy shall be so
filled the governor, by and with the ad
vice and consent of the senate. If the
1 aenate ahall be in aeaalon, or if not In
session, the governor may fill such va
cancy by appointment" '
Election day la the first Tuesday after
the first Monday of November, which
' thla year la November 9. Three months
before November is August i.
If Judge Parker had waited . until
August before presenting his resig
nation, no election could have been held
to fill hla place until 10S. There Is no
requirement that the governor fill the
, vacancy by appointment The word of
the constitution Is "may."
: However, Judge Parker did not take
advantage of any of the technicalities
but resigned, 'and If he la not elected
president will hav no chance to seek
a place on the bench next yearv His
suocessor to be Voted for next Novem
ber will serve a term of 14 years. Judge
Parker's present term would have ex
pired January 1. Kit.

Aug. i. Tha Peninsular

nounces the discontinuance of its serv
ice to Japan owing tor Thelmposslblllty
of determining what may be termed con
traband of war. The Ocean and the
China Mutual companlea today Uaued
similar notlcea.
The Portland Sc Astatic company haa
decided to charter another steamer In
which to carry flour from thla port di
rect 'to Japan. Arrangements are be
ing triads to dlspstch tha csrgo during
the present month. The vessel which
will be engaged ia supposed to be the
Norwegian steamship Hero, now lying
at San Francisco.
While ths local officials of tha com
pany profess to Know notning aooui
the matter a number of -shippers atate
thatthe management of the line haa
notified them that rt will be lh a posi
tion to take care of any Japanese ship
ments which they are desirous of mak
ing. It was further explained that an
outside steamer wilt be chartered.
Am hv have enoueh orders on hand
osmske almost a full cargo the ex
porters state tost there la no doubt
that the proposition wui no carried
through to a successful conclusion. Sev
eral firms had space engaged on the
Ntoomedla, the next ateamer of tha line
to arrive at Portland, but since the war
scare cama on ManagerBcnwen is
sued orders that no more freight would
be carried to Japan on the regular line
of steamers. All contracts for apace
on tha Nlcomedla were accordingly can
celed. -
Tha decision gave general dissatisfac
tion among ths exporters, and It la pre
sumed that it was at their instance
that the conclusion wss resched to char
ter another vessel to handle the freight
offered. Had not thla step been taken
It la said that tha Portland Asiatic
Steatnshlp company would have lost for
all tlma , some of ' Us most valuable
patrona.
Word from aTicomeaxa. i
It Is expected that It would now be
Impossible to send flour to Japan on the
Nlcomedla, even If the company abould
be favorably dlspoaed to the plan, for
tha reason that all of, her apace haa
been engaged for freight which is going
to Hongkong. s
Word has st last been receivea xrom
the Nlcomedla. A tablegram states
that aha sailed from Kobe on August 1.

waa aent from Kobe In thla case It is
taken for granted that she Is eomln

tha other Japanese port. In some quar
ters It la thought that thla plan la be
ing followed In order to escape the
vigilance of any Russian war veaael
which might be lying In wait for her.

Two ordera of .court have already been
entered by Judge George extending the
time in which tiua deienaanta to a ault
brought by tha county might plead, on
account of the disappearance of the
journal. In fact, recovering tha book la
deemed SO necessary that the laat order
waa made by the court with the under
standing that if tha book Is not found
by ths time the limitation la reached a
further extension will be granted. 1
Suit . waa brought by Multnomah
county against (J. W. Landon and J. C
Stanley, Jilly 15, to acquire possession
of 80 acres -of - valuable- land located
on the Baea Lin road, between the 11
and 12-Thlle posts. The county claimed
the land by virtue of deed from John
Barnes, executed In 185. Barnes wss
sent to the county poor farm and pro
vided forby the county, deeding the
land In payment. At the same time he
executed a deed to adjacent landa to
John Roberta. That Is, tha landa were
supposed to 11a adjacent at that time,
but It haa alnc been fonnd that the
descriptions are conflicting, and Stanley
and Landon, who claim the property by
virtu or deed from Roberta, assert
that on account of the reading of the
two deeda and the conflicting descrip
tions, their title can be more eaally ea
tabliahed than , that of the county. From
the standpoint of the- county. Landon
and Stanley are looked on aa squatters.
