SAY YOUNG IS BOUND 10 LOSE Fulton's Friends Believe Bourne Man Cannot Be come Postmaster. John C. Young is up against it. say the friends of Senator Fulton. Young's confirmation as postmaster of Portland will be a dream, but never a reality, Is the opinion of the same prophets. Ho will never be postmaster, and it is all off with him. That Is the way it is all framed up. Senator Fulton is playing a waiting game, say these friends, relying on the new administration to put the snuffer down on the hopes of Senator Bourne and his appointee. According to their story, Senator Fulton could have se cured an adverse report on the ap pointment of Mr. Young almost Imme diately after the matter was referred to the postofflce committee. He. how ever, did not desire such action be cause had Young's appointment been repudiated by the senate It would have given Senator Bourne an opportunity to send in another name, and perhaps one against which there could have been no objection. In that case the senate would have been compelled practically to af firm the nominee of the president and of Senator Bourne, and the fight would have been at an end. Under present conditions these, friends contend, the situation Is en tirely different. If the committee holds Young's name In consideration until the end of the session. Bourne cannot put In a new name. After Taft assumes his office. It Is hoped Young will stand no chance of appointment, and his name may even be withdrawn. Then, It is argued, since Fulton has a great deal of Influence with the president-elect. Bourne's choice would stand a less chance of success than under the ad ministration of Roosevelt. That Is the game, the Fulton friends say, and they contend it is a winning game.

DAIY TRIAL IS HEAD IIS CLOSE Slayer of Harry Kenny Has Itemarkably Speedy Hear- Is Insanity. ing Plea The rase of Harry Daly, charged with the murder of Harry Kenny In a north end saloon on the night of November 16, will go to the Jury In the circuit court late this afternoon. One of the notable features of this case Is the re markably short length of time which it has taken to try the defendant, com pared with other cases where murder in the fir.st degree Is the crime charged. Daly's trial began yesterday morning and at noon toiluy both the state and th9 defense had submitted their testi mony and rested. Italy's only explana tion of the crime he is charged with committing is Intermittent insanity. His attorneys, John H. Stevenson and L. W. Humphreys, have endeavored to show that tlielr client's mind was af fected by an Injury received at the Al blna ferry slip not long ago, and that since that time ho has been subject to spalls In which he loses all control of himself and remembers nothing of what takes place for four and five hours at a time. That Daly was In one of these spells at the time the crime was committed Is the contention of the attorneys for the defense. Two prisoners In the county Jail who occupied the same cor ridor as does thedefondnnt were called this morning aia testified that since Daly's confinement Jie has shown pe culiar symptoms of Insanity during the nights, throwing his hands above his head, groaning, and seemed at theso times to be utterly devoid of reason. City Physician Zlegler testified as to the manner of the Injury received by the defendant at the ferry slip. During the introduction of the state's testimony an effort was made to show that Daly had, at times previous to the murder, made threats against the life of the man whom he murdered. The testimony was thrown out, at that time, on a technicality, but was intro duced again in rebuttal. W. J. Por ter, a barber, testfled to this effect, ether witnesses. Including "Mysterious" Billy Smith, ex-pugilist, were brought by the state in an effort to show that Daly was In his rleht mind at th time of the crime, and that the murder must nave Deen premeditated. At noon tnriav all tha nv.i.lan. n both sides had been brought before the Jury and at 2 o'clock the state began its argument for the conviction of the accused man. The attorneys for the oeien zoiiowea ana tne case will probably reach the Jury before 5 o'clock this afternoon, when Judge Gantenbeln will read his Instructions.

The ordin ance was first amended, however, to make It unlawful for any police of ficer to search the records of a firm without authority from the chief. Smokers will regain their lost priv ilege of puffing on streetcars, if the recommendation of the committee meets with favor in the council. This le that an ordinance be passed which will di rect the railway company to rescind Its latest orders prohibiting smoking. Passage of an amendment to the sta ble ordinance now in effect was also recommended. The amendment will prevent the erection of stables to o . commodate more than six horses, with in certain residence districts of the city. fact that this Is a bona fide debate and one fought in a most spirited and de termined manner.
