ment which followed this conference in
dicates that results are to follow.
In point of fact, Mr.. Hitchcock, short
ly after taking adverse action on the
Umatila, Tieton and Okano9an pro.
iects, saw that he had acted ON bad ad
vice, and realized that his position
would become untenable. He saw that
he bad made a blunder which would
have to be rectifed, and be has cautious

ground. He is not yet ready to take
the final leap, but is preparing for 1t

might be mentioned that the men who
gave the Secretary bad counsel have
heard from it. and have been warned to
display more Intelligence and common
sense in future.

ferred with Mr.. Fulton. This morning
the President informed Mr.. Fulton OF
bis decision, saving he found it difficult
to make q choice, as the candidates
were very evenly matched, but he was
convinced that Judge Wolverton's ap-
pointment would be most desirable,
and he determined to name him. The
President had no other objection to
offer to Judge Mcbride other than his
age, which, apparently, counted against
him with the Attorney General as we'll.
Why the President preferred Wolver-
ton to Bean is not known. The At
torney-General says either would have
made an excellent Judge; in his opin-
ion, one is about as we'll equipped as
the other.
Mr.. Fulton said today that, when
Judge Wolverton's nomination comes
before the Senate, it will be confirmed.
He furthermore expressed the opinion
that Wolverton will make an excellent
Judge and will fill his new position with
credit to himself and to the state.

CHOICE OF THE president

Washington, Nov. 21.-Judge George
E. Wolverton, OF Albany, now sitting
on the Oregon Supreme bench, was to-
day appointed United States District
Judge for Oregon to fill the vacancy
caused by the death OF Judge BelInger
and the subsequent decination of w.
| W. Cotton, to whom the office was
rendered. Judge Wolverton's commits
sion, after being signed by the Pres.
dent and Attorney-General, wss for.
warded to him today, and it is presumed
that he will, upon its receipt, take the
oath and enter upon his new duties at
Portland. His appointment, coming at
this time, will require resppoirtment
when Congress convenes, and his nomi.
nation will be sent to the Senate the
first week of the session, but this will
not interfere with his duties. He will
be confirmed.
Judge Wolverton owes this appoint.
ment very largely to President Roose-
welt. While he was strongly indorsed
by Circuit Judge Gilbert and by promi-
nent members of the Oregon bar, and
while he was on Senator Fulton's list,
and was highly regarded by Attorney.
General Moody, his indorseme ents were
no stronger than those of several other
candidates. As has been stated before
in these dispatches, Mr.. Moody recog-
nized merit in several candidates. but
his choice was Judge Bean, OF Salem
Mr.. Fulton. while he named both
Wolverton and Bean on the list which
was submitted to the President after
Judge Cotton declined, preferred and
strongly urged the appointment OF
Judge Mcbride.
Before making his selection, the Pres
ident gave his close personal attention
to this matter, determined TO choose the
best man available. He went deeply
into the record OF each candidate and
examined each ones Endorsements.
He also had several conferences with
the Attorney-General and Assistant A.
