NO. 2!W. idng May Get Place in Cabinet Jsdge W. R. King It Is Claimed Will Be Placed on Wilson's Cabinet Probably Secretary of Interior That former Supreme Court Justice TO R. King, premier champion of "Woodrow,, Wilson on the Pacific coast, and who, while on the Oregon supreme tench, wrote an opinion on the ques tion of Irrigation which has become almost a text-book on that subject and -which Is recognized as a masterpiece ly the United States supreme court, will go Into President Wilson's cabi net as secretary of the Interior, Is the cpinlon of many Salem Democrats. That Judge King should be appointed t0 that office Is the universal opinion In this section of the state. Since the opening of the campaign Judge. King has been at the Chicago headquarters directing not only the Democratic campaign on this side of the Rocky mountains, but because of the absence from the bureau much of the time of the heads of the other campaigning departments, practically In charge of the entire Wilson head quarters. Judge King has been work ing day and night ever since the Bal timore convention, but his first efforts toward making Woodrow Wilson the next president of the United States be gan In Oregon more than a year ago. He Visits Bryan., It was while Judge King was on the Oregon bench that he began to mani fest his admiration for Governor Wil son, and at that time he expressed the opinion that Wilson would be the next president. About the middle of 1911 the Oregon man made a trip east and visited a number of leading Demo crats, among them. William J. Bryan, In Wilson's behalf. The Wilson boom 1n Oregon was started by him and there is no doubt that his efforts for the New Jersey governor were felt throughout the nation. "Judge King is certainly great ma terial for a position In the cabinet as secretary of the Interior," said Judge Thomas A. McBrlde, of the supreme ourt today, "and Oregon and the west -will certainly be lucky If he Is named." Judge McBrlde and Judge King were Intimate friends before the latter left the bench. "He knows more about Ir rigation than any other man In the 1'iilUd States," continued the Judge. Ho baa been a Btudent of the subject for years. He was born and reared on an Irrigated farm in Umatilla county. Tells of Noted Case. "Judge King's famous opinion In the iMHe of Hough against Porter has be come ft text-book 6n the water subject It has been commented on favorably liy the supreme court of tho United Sliit.es several times, and It Is consid ered all over the west as the finest ex vcdltlon on the subject of water rights .hat has ever been written. It is the longost opinion that was ever written In. the state, taking 143 pages In the rourt reports, while most cases re nulro only two or three pages. It Is eUmtistlvo of the subject." Tim case of Hough against Porter v,t,Mi resulted In Judge King's opln--:i originated front southern Oregon. No Ax to Grind. "I do not think Judge King ever had tax to grind while he was working for Ccvernor Wilson," said Judge Mc Ilildc. "I have never heard of his as- Tiring to a cabinet position, but he baa certainly earned It. It required nerve for him to champion Wilson In Orison at the early time at which he lid It, because there was a very strong feeling here at that time for Champ Clark." With Judge W. T. Slater, Judge King was appointed a commissioner of the supreme court In 1907, an unusually kxrtt amount of work In the court at that time requiring the creating of thi f, temporary offices. Two years I:iter both he and Judge Slater were .pointed to places on the bench. Mine Fire Is Out Hobart, Tasmania, Nov. 8.

With only1 about 55 of the 4372 election precincts in California missing, Theodore Roose- velt, Progressive candidate for presl-1 dent, Is estimated to have a lead of ' about 300 votes over Woodrow Wilson, but every Indication Is that It will re- quire the official count to decide In which column the state will fall. It is also possible that the electoral vote of the state will be split In the south Lieutenant-Governor A. J. Wal-: lace, a Roosevelt elector, was heavily scratched, and In 3aa Francisco some ( of the Wilson electors were cut by the voters. I Of the 55 districts unreported as yet seven are In Los Angeles county. They are expected to Increase the Roosevelt lead there, which now Is 20,279, by at least 300 or 400. "We will have at least a plurality of , 21,000 In Los Angeles county," said Meyer Llssner, Progressive leader, In a telephone conversation with Pro- gresslve headquarters here today.

They have a standing challenge out for O. A. C. and have been continually at them to meet them on the local field a week from next Saturday, but Dolan perhaps remembering the close games played them the past two years, still refuses to consider any offer. The students are Berlously consider ing bringing Wltworth here for a game on some date next week. Wlt worth Is a non-conference school, but would probably be able to put up an interesting game. The team is certainly In excellent condition and has developed a machine which compares favorably with any In the state, or In the northwest confer ence, for that matter. Their cry now is, "Bring on a conference team." TRAIN HAS CLOSE CALL ON CANADIAN ROAD UNITED PEERS LEASED WIRE. Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 8.

"Well, War den, here's the boy back again, His mammy and I would rather see hliu back here In Jail than to have him break his promised word with the state. He forgot his bringing up, when he did not obey what he suld he'd do for letting him out to come back home lo the ranch. His mammy and I want you to know that we did not raise him up that way." With this simple explanation of the stern sense of Justice that prompted bin act, D. W. Lamb, a weather-beaten old rancher, of Shasta county, deliv ered to Warden Hoyle, at San Qtientln prison, his 27-year-old son, Frank who had broken his parole. There was Just a suspicion of mois ture In the father's keen gray eyes as he shook the boy's hand In parting at the big grated door of the prison. The set of his chin relaxed a little. "We Will Be WnltluV "Well, son," he said slowly, "be a good boy while you are here. Do what's right, and when you get out, come back up to the ranch. Your mammy and I will be waltin' for you And then to the warden: "Sort of look after Frank. He's only a boy after all, and a good boy, for all he's done. This ought to teach him a les son. We tried hard to bring him up right but he went a little wild. 'Come back to the ranch," he plead ed, his lips working In a final appeal to his son. Then he turned and marched away, his old-fashioned sense of duty and honor satisfied. Frank Lamb was a model prisoner at San Quentin, where he was taken In 1906 to serve a seven-year term for grand larceny. The parole machinery was Invoked and he was released on probation In 1908 with Instructions not to leave the state and to make re ports to the authorities at stated In tervals. Broke His I'nrole. For a time young Lamb succeeded In obeying the parole regulations. Then the trait which his father char acterized as "a little wild" reasserted itself and he took to the road. A short time ago, tired of the husks of a wan derer's life, ho drifted back to the home ranch. "Come on boy, wo're goin' back to Jail," said the father. "First sit down and eat a hearty meal Just like you used to when you were a little fellow, and then we'll go." With hands shading her eyes the mother watched her boy being led back to four years more of prison llfo by the stern old father. Neither of the two looked back. Today the father came back alono to the waiting moth er. "I don't hold anything agahiBt the old man for bringing me back here," said the boy to Warden Hoyle. "I'm going to try to be more like him. If I'd been like him I'd never got Into this scrape at all. He's a good old dad." SCOTTY TESTIFIES THAT HE IS A FRAUD UNITED MENS LEASED WIRE. Los Angdles, C'al., No. 8.

The sit uation Is most alarming, and the Pourses here and In Derlln are de pressed. If Servia Insists on getting an out let through her conquered territory to the Adriatic, officials here say Austria will be compelled to resort to bullet and bayonet.
