NINE NAMES MENTIONED
AS HARLAN'S SUCCESSOR
PhiIander c. Knox Firsg Choice of
Washington Gossips, But II Missouri
an Nav he Chosen.

Washington.-There is no end in
Washington to the speculation over
the probable action of the president
in filling the place on the supreme
bench, made vacant by the death of
Associate Justice Harlan.
one hears everywhere that Phil
ander c. Knox, Secretary of state, can
have the place if he will accept it.
Next in order comes Attorney Gener-
al Wtckersham, and then Solicitor
General Frederick w. Lehman.
a list of the other probabilities to
date is made up of Secretary Nagel,
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor; Judge Gordon Russell of Tex
as, Senator Isador Rayner Senator
Kenyon of Iowa, Senator Borah OF
Idaho. and Justice Swayze of New
Jersey.
The idea seems to prevail that the
president may determine to take the
appointment from the Middle West
The late Justices Brewer and Harlan
We're from the Middle West, which
has no representative on the court
For that reason Secretary Nagle ant
Lehman, both from Missouri, are
looking up" at least for the present
1t is not probable that the presi
| dent, even with the court just enter
ing upon some important cases, vii
make an immediate appointment.

Namara Attorney.
REPEATED SHARP CLASHES
Defendants Counsel Shows Little re
gard for Bordwell by InterruptlnS
Him several Times During Recita-
ton of Alleged Unfair Decisions.

Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Calf"
Oct 3O-Another severe rebuke was
today administered by Judge Bord-
well to Clarence Darrow, chief coun-
sci for the Mcnamara brothers, for
alleged predicating an attack on the
courts decision of Saturday, which
was handed down in qualifying We
nreman Frampton and Winters up
on IAN isolated portion of their tes-
timony."
The court also overruled a new
challenge Of the defense against the
two men, which was made by the de-
fense, because they stated that they
could not return a verdict of guilty
on circumstantal evidence. They
can now be eliminated only by per-
emptory challenge.
Judge Bordwell characterized the
challenge as a flagrant effort on the
part of the defense to evade his de-
cision of Saturday. He also declared
that the constitutional rights of the
McNamaras could not be menaced by
the retention of the two Jurors; in
fact, he declared the prosecution
would suffer, If anyone, by their hav-
ing seats on the jury.
Darrow bitterly objected when his
challenge was ovrruled and declared
tue courts explanation was in va
riance with the case. He interrupt
ed the judge repeatedly with protests
and objections, which were promptly
overruled. When the decision wa:
completed Darrow formally read into
the record formal objection. which
was couched in bitter vindctiv,
terms. This was also sharply over
ruled by Judge Bordwell.
During the examination of Tales
men George Johnson and A. j. vii
son, who were excused on account o
i'll health, the opposing attorneys
clashed frequently and were rebuk
ed several times by Judge Bordwell.

face was covered with blood and il
was at first thought that he was seri-

Court Rulings Favorable.

However. decisions of the United
States courts and especially one by
the L. S. supreme court have mate
rally altered the situation. In a
suit involving the right to the use
of water on the Blackroot reservation
the supreme court has upheld the
rights of the Indians and according
to Mr.. Caldwell's attorney the points
involved are identical with those that
are up in the local case. In another
Montana suit Federal Judge Wolver-
ton of this state, sat as trial judge
in place of the Montana judge and up
held the rights of the. Indians. That
decision was taken to the circuit of
appeals and there affirmed.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-10-30
Former Suit Dropped.

In many particulars the suit waged
by Caldwell is very similar to the suit
brought some years ago by Rigby and
others to obtain the right to the use
of the river water. At that time the
complainants dropped their suit and
allowing the milling company to OBJ
tain decree by default. Since that
time it has been generally assumed
that the mill company has had a
valiant right to the use OF all the wa
ter of the river.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-10-30

The basis of the suit by William
Caldwell is that the Byers company
has nothing more than a permit to
use the river water when it is not de-
sired by the Indians and that the de-
partment of the interior may cancel
that permit any time it sees fit to do
so. 1t is held in the amended COM
plain that the Byers company is op-
Grating under the permit given in
1870 to G.. \. Ladow and others and
which right was subsequently con-
frmed by congress and transferred
to Byers. The following verbatim eN-
tracts are from the amended COM
plant filed today in the United
states court in Portlanc:
The LadOw Permit.

July, 1870, George \. Ladow, G. W

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-10-30

In an amended complaint filed to-
day with Federal Judge r. 5. Bean
by D. b. Bailey, attorney for William
Caldwell in his suit to establish right
to the use of water from the river for
irrigating land upon the reservation
the complaint is made more specific
upon the points outlined by Judge
Bean when he sustained the demur-
rer of the Byers milling companys at
torney a week or more ago.
At the time the demurrer was sus-
tanned Judge Bean dwelt upon the
importance of the rights involved and
ruled that the complaint should set
forth more fully the quantity of wa
ter desired by the plaintiff. In the
amended complaint the size of the
ditch, its capacity IN miners inches
as well as a full description of all the
land to be irrigated is given.
1t is set forth that the plaintiff
William Caldwell, has leased the land
with the intention of farming the
same through irrigation from the riv-
er and that the government hrougf

proved of the leases.

SENATE'S CONSENT WILL
MAKE BILL A LAW
House Lead Way In Favor
Game Bill

Atlanta, August 12.-It is consider
ed Just a little bit remarkable that the
house of representatives, which is the
body that heretofore has killed all the
general game and fish protection laws
proposed, should this time have been
first to enact such a measure.
1t is at least indicative of the fact
that the necessity for game protection
is becoming more and more Impress
ed upon the people of the state, parti3-
ularly upon the farmers, who have
heretofore paid little attention to it
In fact the farmers boy with gun and
dog has been one of the chief causes
of game destruction. In some sec
tions of the state he may be seen IN
season and out of it ready to pop ut
any bird that shows it's head.
This year the house committee on
agriculture got strongly back OF the
bill and demanded its passage, and
whatever the agricultural committee
demands usually goes through. AL
ways such a bill has more trouble get
ting through the house than in pass
ing the senate. There are so many
more members in the house to offer
objections and talk about it.
But the insect pest, particularly the
threat of the boil weevil, which is on
its way to Georgia. did the work; the
game bill went through and with ia
vorable action by the senate which
is anticipated as soon as the senate
can reach the measure, the new law
will go into effect. 1t calls for the ap.
pointment of a game warden by the
governor at a salary of $4,000, and the
appointment of county wardens by the
state game warden. 1t is proposed tC
pay the expenses incurred under the
act by issuing licenses to hunters al
81 for each county in which they hunt
or 81 for the entire state.
The chief features of the bill are
the cutting off of six weeks from the
open season, prohibiting the sale 81
game birds or animals, limiting days
bag to 25 quail and other birds and
animals in proportion, prohibiting tho
use of traps, snares or nets, and pro
hibiting hunting on the lands Of an
other without written permission.
