It was admitted that the new measure repealed the gross earnings act. but nevertheless the committee that examined the measure recommended that no change be made.

Young will leave Washington at once to . enter .upon the duties of hla new position. . The Portland postmastership ' was a bone of contention during the regular s session. Senator Fulton bitterly opposed Young's confirmation , and despite a favorable report from the committee on poatofflces, he succeeded In having the appointment held up. - Numerous protests against the appointment were forwarded to Washington and were used by Fulton to prevent Young's confirma tion. It was a foregone conclusion how ever, that Bourne would triumph event ually and President Taft gave assur ances a week ago that he would renom- , Inate Young. This he did this morning ' and with Fulton out of the senate, no opposition was offered to confirmation. V John C.
