JUDGE ROSS
IN OPPOSITION.
He. Thinks Judge McKenna VIII Be
Mined 10 Succeed Field,
NeVerth less.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3-"Attorney-
General McKenna IS not qualified, nor is
he competent to FIJI the post of Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States"
This is the opinion by Erskine NJ. Ross,
judge Of the United States court for this
district. He was seen at his hotel this
evening by a GAIL representative and
without the slightest reluctance expressed
his opinion on the subject of Judge Nc
kenna's selection for the Supreme Bench
Have you signed petition or ad-
dressed letter to the President request
ing that he do not name Judge McKenna
as the successor OF Judge Field?' he was
asked.
No. sir; l have not signed any such
paper. l have never been asked to d O so.
/ have arrived at the conclusion that
President Mckinley will appoint Judge
McKenna. l think he has fully deter
mined o do so. ANY letters or communi-
cations addressed 10 him on the subject
would be OF no avail"
What do you think the bench and bar
of the Pacific Coast will do with regard to
Judge McKenna's appointment"
81 do not know o. any concerted action
to de eat his conhrmali ion in the event he
is appointed. But attorneys generally
who are acquainted with Judge Mcnenna
as rule do not think the appointment is
wise one. He is not competent.
- 81 look upon the position OF Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court OF the
United States as one requiring the high
est order OF ability and qualifications,
which Jud e McKeana does not possess.
i know thar the Judges of the United
States Circuit bench DO not look upon his
prospective elevation with favor. | know
OF but one who feels that the appointment
Is the proper one to make.
; Before Jud e McKenna is confirmed I
think full expression OF opinion vii
be obtained by the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate, of which Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts is chairman. 1t i. be-
lieve, the custom for this committee 10
secure opinions from various sources be-
fore acting in a matter OF that import
aEce..
"Should nv opinion be called for l
shall certainly have no hesitancy in CIV
ing it, and In detail.
Let 1t be understood that 1 am not
casting the slightest reflection upon the
honor and integrity of Judge McKenn

competent to sit as an Associate Justice

Dunbar is of such material, so bouud-
Iessly ambitious that those who held the
balance OF power in the elective majority
desraired OF securing concert of action
with him on any given proposition. In
this crisis, Wilson, though the out-and-
out candidate of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, was taken up at short notice
and given the caucus nomination on one
condition. This was the signing OF a
carefully prepared contract, which bound

King County managers, namely, the pro-
moron o: Judge HlnIord to the position
from which Justice Field was expected to
retire IN the event that a Repu Dlican adj
minlstration succeeded that Of Cleveland.
1t was surnlsed, with reason, that fol-
lowing Harrison's appointment of jack
son CD from Tennessee Justice Field
would make way for the appoin tment of a
Pacific Coast Repu blican III the spirit Of
his own magnanimous appointment by
Lincoln.
Now it is said that Wilson, though he

Senator Hanna, found himself powerless

Wa. hington politically could not sustain
Hanford's candidacy. White it is impos-

that the fight in Washington's interest

He Visited This Section Last Season.
The Red Wing Republican asks
what has become of the old-time
lightning-rod agent. We can tell
you what has become of him: He
has been shaved, had his hair cut,
donned new suit of clothes and is
busy in the country selling groceries
at wholesale prices to the farmers.
Occasionally he gets job selling nur.
sery stock for a distant firm. Then
again you can find him selling me-
mortal cards to the afflicted. Once
in while one stays at home and
works a swindle through the mails.
All these sharks were formerly light
ning-rod agents or are the direct de-
scendents from them. All have the
same aim in life and that is to de.
ceive and cheat the farmers first and
then anyone else they can capture.
just ask one of these sleek gents if
he knows where you can buy a storm
proof lightning-rod. You will see
his ears move and before he can con-
troll his tongue he will tell you how
he has driven over this country on
wagon, rodded this and that mans
buildings and maybe recount an incl
dent where he cheated farmer out
of $50 or $l0O easily. Yes, same
men - different clothes, different
scheme - same result. Mortified

Death Of George A. keene.

The friends of George A. Keene.
!. former resident of New England,
on the Cannon Ball, will be panied
to learn of his death which occurred
Wednesday, Feb. 8, at North Abing-
ton, Mass. as the result of collision
between electric cars, upon one of
which he was mOtOrman. The
Brockton Enterprise of Feb. 4, COM
mends the Young mans courage and
devotion to duty in sticking to his
post in the face of a fearful accident
and says: "After the accident he was
examined by two physicians and it
was found that he had not sustained
any serious injuries. The young
man was subject to heart trouble,
and the shock was too much for him.
The death is attributed to heart dis
ease rather than to the effects of the
injuries received in the accident.
AS soon as possible he was taken
in car to North Abingdon, here it
was found that he was rapidly sink
ing. His brother, Edward F. Keene
of Whitman, was summoned as we'll
as his father and mother. They
found him conscious and calmly a.
waiting the end. He soon after sank
into unconsciousness and died with
in "a few hours. The young man was
we'll and favorably known in Whit
man where he has resided for many
years and where he was great fav-
orite. He WAS engaged to Miss Ellie
B. Miles of Whitman.
He was considered one of the best
men on the line, careful, courageous
and ready at any time for work.
Few men in the employ of the road
would he more miss ID at the car
house than George a. Keene.''
The funeral was held in Whitman,
Mass, at the home of his parents,
Rev. and Mrs. A. II. Keene, on Fri
dey, Feb. S, a delegation Of the cleo
trio road employees accompanying
the remains to the grave. The PRESS
extends sympathy to the bereaved
family in Whitman and to relatives
in distant states to whom this news
has come as a great shock.
