If negotiations now in progress are

Jlyron T. Herrick, the ex-Governor
in question, is due to arrive in Port
land today, while Frank B. Willis, the
present Governor, is scheduled to be
here tomorrow.
Officers of the Ohio Society, who will

io that he can be here while Governor
Willis is here.
Colonel Herrick will deliver an ad

8 o'clock tonight on the subject of
rural credits, to which he has given
much attention in recent years. Mem
bers of the Portland Clearing-House
Association will join with other prom
inent Portland residents in entertaining
him at an informal dinner at the Cham
ber preceding the lecture hour. More
than three score bankers in various
parts of Oregon and Washington have
requested reservations at both the ban

Finance- and Politics Divide Time.
Mr. Herrick is an ex-president of the
Aiaerican Bankers' Association and one
of the best-known bankers in the
country. He is chairman of the board
cf directors of the Society for Savings
in Cleveland. Until three or four years
ago, when he was appointed Ambas
sador to France, he continued at the
active head of the bank.
Mr. Herrick always has been an ac
tive figure in politics in Ohio. His
first political experience was in 1885,
when he was elected a member of the
Cleveland City Council. After serving
two years he declined to be a candi
date. He has been a delegate to every
Republican Xational convention of re
cent years, excepting that of 1900, when
he was in Europe. He also served sev
eral years as Republican National com
mitteeman from Ohio. While McKin
ley was Governor of Ohio he served as
a Coionel on the Governor's staff.
Jtailroad Receivership Held.
In the Fall of 1903 Colonel Herrick
was elected Governor of Ohio by a
majority of nearly 115,000, the largest
ever given a candidate for Governor in
that state. He served only one term.
Both President McKinley and President
Koosevelt offered him Important diplo
matic posts, but he declined on account
of unwillingness to give up his busi
ness. In addition to his connection with
the Society for Savings, Mr. Herrick
1 l- ; . i 1. flnan.lal
and industrial affairs. He was receiver
for the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway
in 1896. and later was a director of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway. He
also is a director of the Quaker Oats
Company and of several banks in New
York, Baltimore and other Eastern
cities. He also is president f the Cen
tral Colorado Power Company, which
has developed extensive hydro-electric
projects near Glenwood Springs, Colo.
Governor Willis to Speak.
Governor Willis, who will be here
tomorrow, is an ex-member of Congress
and was elected to his present office
last Fall by a decisive majority. He.
too, has been mentioned as a Presiden
tial possibility.
Governor Willis will arrive here early
Wednesday morning and will leave at
S:15 o'clock that night over the South
ern Pacific for Medford, where he will
remain for a day with friends. His
principal public appearance while in
Portland will be at the noonday lunch
eon at the Chamber of Commerce. Mem
bers of the Ohio Society of Oregon are
planning to conduct him and the mem
bers of his party on sightseeing auto
mobile trips around the city.
PROMOTION IS CONSIDERED
Civil Service Board to Discuss Code
Tangle Tonight.
To consider the tangle of affairs
created by the city's so-called efficiency
system, the Municipal Civil Service
Board ,wi'.l hold a special meeting to
night at the City Hall. The Board will
take up the question of holding pro
motion examinations, with the idea of
seeing what effect such a plan would
have.
All kinds of trouble has been stirred
up over the recent announcement of
an examination for clerks, for promo
tion to positions as junior accountants.
It is said most of the men in the City
Auditor's office would have to take this
examination to hold their present posi
tions. It is argued also that if promotions
must be made on examination ex
clusively, hundreds of the city em
ployes will have to take special ex
aminations to hold their present posi
tions. These employes have been ad
vanced in salary, without having re
ceived a different classification.
GERMAN HEIRS GET SHARES
Court Order for Partial Distribution
of Wcnimc Instate Issued.
An echo of the European war found
its way into Probate Judge Cleeton's
department yesterday in the form of a
Detition for a partial distribution of
the sjiaie of E. Henry Wemme to sev
eral heirs resident in Germany. Judge
Cleeton signed an order permitting
their pro rata of $25,000 in cash which
lias accumulated to be paid to them.
The administrators said in their peti
tion that "said relatives are desirous
that a partial distribution of money be
made to them at this time, representing
to your petitioners that because of
the stress of war times prevalent In
the German Empire they are much in
need of said money."
The German devisees under Mr.
Wemme's will were brothers, sisters,
nephews and cousins of the devisor.
