San Diego, Aug. 14.-Final memoir

Chaplain Stone of Chicago.

There is a strong probability that a
Pendleton man will soon have a posi-
ton on the supreme bench of Oregon,
for the friends of T, G. HALEY believe
he will be appointed 10 that station
should Judge r. s. Bean be chosen by
President Roosevelt for federal Judge
of this state.
From the appearance of things the
appointment of Judge Robert S. Bean
to succeed the late Judge c. b. Bell
niger seems almost assured. Press
reports sent out from Salem Saturday
evening, based upon private letters
received by friends of Senator Fulton
indicate that Attorney General Moody
has recommended the selection of
Judge Bean, and predict his appoint
ment by the president.
Among the members of the local
bar. which Is composed of some of the
strong men of the state and many of
whom are closely acquainted with
Judge Bean and his associates of the
supreme court, there is general feel
ing that Bean will be the man. This
feeling Is inspired. first by their re-
gard for the ability, strength and in
tegrity of that judge, and also because
he is looked upon as the most availa-
BILE man for the place. During the IA
years which Judge Bean has been on
the supreme bench of Oregon he has
earned an enviable reputation for ju-
dicial ability and is also regarded as
man of the highest personal charac-
ter. Most of his active life has been
passed upon the supreme bench. and
as result he has received very thor
ough judicial training.
In politics Judge Bean is said to be
free from all factional fights and en-
tanglements, which fact is expected to
greatly aid him as an aspirant for the
federal judgeship.
Should the appointment Of Judge
Bean be made, his position as a SUI
thereby made vacant, and It would
devolve upon Governor Chamberlain
to name a man to fill that station un-
til the next state election in June,
1906. While the term of office for
supreme judge is six years and Judge
Bean has five years yet to serve upon
his present term. his successor could
serve only until another election.
However, that time would allow of
nearly a years experience upon the
highest tribunal In the state and thus
constitutes an honor much to be de-
sired.
II is generally conceded that should
an appointment be necessary, Cover
nor Chamberlain will appoint demo-
crat and n man from Eastern Oregon.
The former for obvious reasons, and
the latter because of the fact that
there is now no representative from
east of the Cascades upon the su-
preme bench. This being the case It
is regarded by the friends OF T. G. |
Haley that he Is the logical candi- |
date. During the many years which |
he has practiced law in this city. part |
Of the time as district attorney. he has |
acquired a reputation as one of the
strongest of the local bar, and there |
are many who place him in the lead |
among practitioners here. Also. his
private life and political record is such |
as to greatly strengthen his candidacy
Consequently, 1t Is certain that his
appointment would meet with general
favor among the members of the bar
and also with the laymen of Pendleton
and Umatilla county.

Agreed to Disagree.

The supreme court has notified Gov
ernor Bell that the members have been
unable to agree on the status OF the
inspector of finance.
1t will be remembered that there was
deadlock in the Legislature last fall
between the governor and the senate,
the latter body twice rejecting the nomi'
nation of Luther A. Cobb, of Island
Pond. A bill was rairoaded through
both houses providing that the inspector
should hold office until his successor had
qualified. The intent OF this was to
continue Fred S. Plat, of Poultney, in
Office. The governor, having some
doubt as to the constitutionality Of this
act, doubt shared toy not few emf.
neut lawyers, submitted the matter TO
the supreme court for decision, as pro-
vided by law.
The text of the reply follows:
"Your Excellelcy's communication
of January 20, 1908, submitting to the
judgment OF the supreme court certain
inquiries regarding the inspector of
finance was duly received and upon the
consideration that we have thus far
been able to give the subject we find
that we are not agreed. The matter is
one which may hereafter be brought be
fore the judges sitting as court, where
examination would be had upon full
argument aud where the result arrived
at would be final and binding. In this
situation it occurs to us that the sub
mission of conflicting views at this time
and in this manner might not be helpful
to Your Excellency nor beneficial to the
state and We trust that you will excuse
us from further reply"
This letter is dated at Montpelier
February S, and is signed by all the
judges of the supreme bench.
