Price, $ 5 CAKE MAY RESIGN Chairman Not Wholly in Accord With Assembly Plan. MEETING EXPECTED SOON Resignation, if Offered, Must Be ' Acted Upon by Committee Grow ing Sentiment in Kvidence at McKinley Dinner. Rumor is current that when the Re publican state central committee is called to meet in this city, probably In February, W.'M. Cake, state chair man, will offer Ills resignation. While Mr. Cake has not made any announce ment of his' plans, it is reported that for some time he has been seriously considering giving: up the chairman ship of the state committee. The re port that he will resign, however, could not be confirmed yesterday, ef forts to find him at either his office or his residence being unsuccessful. The reason for Mr. Cake's con templated retirement as state chairman are not known. It Is believed that the principal reason, however, is the fact that he Is not entirely in accord with the proposed assembly. From the in ception at the assembly movement Mr. Cake has not been over-enthusiastic in his advocacy of this plan of suggesting candidates to the voters at the primary election. He has refrained from giving; a public expression of his views on the assembly and. althouglv he has attended several meetings at which the assembly was discussed, has been satisfied to re main in the background as an observer, rather thai an advocate, of. the plan. This is believed to be the principal in fluence which has suggested the prob able action of Mr. Cake In deciding to step aside and surrender the office to a more aggressive supporter of the assembly. Party Call Xot Issued. , Soon after the first of the year Mr. Cake announced that he would issue an official call, requesting the members of the state committee to assemble In Portland either late In January or early in February. That call has not been issued. It is the desire of the assembly forces that the committee be called to gether soon that the many details of the approaching campaign and general election can receive attention. It is expected Mr. Cake will issue the call for a meeting of the committeemen In a few days, as his resignation, if he hall tender it, cannot be accepted and his successor elected except at a meet ing of the committee. Important among the subjects that will come before the committee when it meets will be that of considering some definite plan of action for adoption throughout the state in holding state and county assemblies which will be held probably In every county of the state this year. Eighty-five per cent of the Republican voters of the state who have been interviewed on the subject have-declared in favor of the assembly. More than a majority of these Republicans declined to make any recommendations as to the manner in which delegates should be chosen for either the county or the state as semblies. This, they explained, was a detail which properly should be con sidered by the members of the state committee. In fact, the members of this committee will be expected to recommend to the various counties of the state the general plan under which the proposed assemblies should be held, including suggestions as to the method of electing delegates to the state as sembly. Committee Favors Assembly. So far as has been learned, a ma jority of the members of the state com mittee are in sympathy with the as sembly. For that reason they un doubtedly will come to Portland pre pared to exchange Ideas and decide on a plan which will insure thoroughly representative bodies, chosen, as nearly as practicable, directly by the voters In the different precincts. The senti ment thus far expressed In this con nection favors the election of dele gates to the state assembly by the county assemblies. .The membership of the county assemblies, It Is urged by nearly all of the Republicans Inter viewed, should be made up of members of the party elected by precinct pri maries by the Republican voters. Pro-assembly sentiment was strongly In evidence at the McKinley dinner of the Portland Republican Club Saturday night. It was a representative gather ing of Republicans from all parts of the state. . Several of the speakers, in re citing the many qualities of McKinley as reflected In his public career, could not - refrain from making the pointed reference that the martyred President, whose anniversary was being commem orated, was the type of'man produced under the assembly or convention plan ot submitting to the voters for their indorsement desirable candidates for public office. Members of the party from outside counties, although not called upon formally to address the gathering. Individually reported that the sentiment throughout the state was rapidly developing in favor of the pro posed pre-primary advisory meetings for the suggestion of candidates for state and county offices. in I TO TELL Governor Benson to Speak Feb. 12. B. E. Kennedy, a Baker City newspaper man, who was at the Imperial yesterday, reported that the Republicans of that place have made extensive arrangements for their Lincoln day banquet which will be held Saturday night. February 12. Governor Benson will be the principal speaker. Jay Bowerman. State Senator from Gilliam County, has also accepted an Invitation to deliver an address at the dinner. A number of Republicans from this city are planning to go to Baker City on that occasion. Provision will be made for the accommodation of 500 banqueters.

Defendant May Be Witness in Own Behalf Today. SEVERAL POINTS SCORED Ileney Believes Evidence Strong, De fense Regards It Weak in Light of Commissioner's Duties. Attorneys Secretive. Binger Hermann will be a witness in his own 'behalf. That he will be placed on the stand has been deter mined by his attorneys, but it has not been ascertained at what stage of the proceedings the ex-Commissioner of the Geners.1 Land Office will be called. It is believed that the gray-haired defend ant may appear as the first witness this morning. Hermann, It is conjectured, will be asked by his counsel to explain away many of the points which the Govern ment scored during the three weeks of his trial. The evidence against him was mainly documentary and cited con versations between him and citizens of Oregon. Attorney Heney regards the evidence as damaging to the defendant, but in the light of the official duties of the Commissioner, Hermann's at torneys say, the evidence will be given an altogether different appearance and meaning. Several Points Scored. The first point made by the Govern ment against Hermann was an alleged conversation in the office of ex-Surveyor-General Meldrum. when It was testi fied Hermann advised F. P. Mays of the best method of procedure to follow in the creation of the Blue Mountain Forest Reserve. Hermann will be asked to recount the conversation and give his version of the various alleged acts which were brought out in testi mony in an endeavor to show that while he had knowledge that school lands vere being fraudulently "purchased In Oregon for the purpose of later de frauding the Government, he allowed the Blue Mountain Reserve to be creat ed. At the time Hermann recommend ed the withdrawal, it was testified, he not only had knowledge of the contents of the letters from "Citizens" Zabrieskie and Snyder, but had adopted a policy of not recommending the withdrawal of forest reserves as requested by the For estry Department. Telegram a Feature. Attorney Heney also questioned wit nesses on the theory that Hermann had nbt fully advised Secretary Hitchcock of his knowledge of the operations of the land manipulators, and had failed to forward protests which had been sent from Oregon concerning the Blue Mountain Reserve. Hermann will also be asked to explain his alleged tele gram to F. P. Mays, dispatched when the Secretary approved the withdrawal. Attorney Heney contends the telegram was a confirmation of the testimony that Mays boasted of an arrangement having been made by which Mays would receive knowledge of the action of the Secretary in time to allow the purchase of the school lands before the information became public. Information as to the number of witnesses to appear for Hermann, or their identity, is unobtainable. Attor neys Worthington and Gearin declined to give out any information on the sub ject. Neither would the attorneys chance a prediction as to when the case will reach the jury. In all probability Hermann will occupy the witness stand for at least three days in direct and cross-examination. Hermann Enjoys Sunday. Hermann passed a quiet Sunday at the Imperial, Joining Governor Benson and Frank E. Alley, of Roseburg, in an automobile ride in the afternoon, visit ing Portland Heights and the City Park. Attorney Worthington was kept from the golf links by the rain, while At torney Gearin put in the day between the Arlington Club and Hotel Port land. Attorneys Heney and Becker passed the day in their office in the Federal building. In other cases presented in Portland Attorney Heney has always reserved a large portion of his case to be used In rebuttal, and It Is probable he is preparing for that line of pro cedure in anticipation of the evidence which the defense may offer. The jurymen left their quarters on Alder street for a walk about the West Side and, under the guidance of Bailiff Hamilton, they attended church morn ing and evening. FLEISCHNER QUITS POST President or Concordia Club for Six years to Resign Tonight. , After six years' service as president of the Concordia Club at Sixteenth and Mor rison streets, Marcus A. Fleischner will retire. A new president will be elected at the meeting of the general member ship at the club building this evening. There are no candidates for office In the Concordia Club, the organization fol lowing a method of its own. A nominat ing committee presents the names of the board of directors who name the presi dent and other officers. A report is then made to the general meeting of club members and the selection is ratified. Usually officers are chosen from the directorate. Mr. Fleischner retires at his own re quest. His tenure of office has been one of the most successful in the hlscory of the Concordia Club. L. Rea. secretary of the organization for nearly 20 years, will probably be re quested to retain that position. IS ANNOUNCEMENTS.
