Taft during the latter' trip through Virginia and at present is visiting with relatives in Massachusetts. W. M. Cake Is already en route to Portland. It is expected he will arrive here the last of this week. Senator Bourne reaching Portland early next week. There Is little Question that the ar rival of both political workers will mark a crisis in the fight between the Fulton adherents and those who nave linked Republican political fortune and prog ress with the Cake-Bourne Taction. There is determination written In large letters on the banners of the Bourne side of tho controversy. Bourne will support Cake. The senator, through his lieutenants here, has signified his opposition to any attempt to overthrow eltlier Cake or Statement No. 1. Hence, Fulton's fight to break the will of the people will meet with sturdy- opposition. On the other hand, Fulton adherents have set their traps In the rule or ruin policy adopted soon after Governor Chamberlain came out victorious In the senatorial campaign. S. C. Beach has been hurried east. His destination Is Chicago. With pock ets bulging with soft words and cre dentials In favor of Fulton he will use all of his persuasive powers to bring uuuui tin amance ueiween .jnatrman Hitchcock of the Republican national committee and the Fulton faction In the hopes of downing Cake, placing Ijourne in oblivion and annihilating Statement No. 1 and turning Oregon into the Taft column a' matter now which is very largely in doubt. But the Bourne adherents will re fuse to sleep while this Is going on If the Republican campaign sack Is to come to Oregon they will see to It that It comes on a noh-factlonal plat ter. The Idea Is not entertained for a moment that Hitchcock will be drawn Into an alliance with Fulton. A step In that direction will be effectually blocked at the start If political In genuity la capable of acompllahlng the act. In consequence, with Beach confer ring with Hitchcock. Bourne and Caka in Portland, Fultonltes struggling for the trump card an,d the Cake-Bourne adherents forestalling each and every play. Republican political factions In Oregon are more than likely to reach the point where for some time thev have been making ugly grimaces at each year. That point will be a dead lock Hence, the arrival of Senator Bourne and Chairman Cake inPortland will re sult In somewhat of a stir in the ranks. Factional swords will again be sharp ened. Things will come quickly to a head. Senator Bourne Who Will Return to Oregon Next Week ' ' L ; a. V. t .

CIRCUIT JUDGE BENSON RESIGNS Governor Chamberlain Will Appoint Successor Pri vate Practice. (United Prem Leased Wire.) Salem. Or., Aug. 20. Henry L. Ben son, circuit Judge in the First judicial district and brother of Secretary of State Frank Benson, sent his resigna tion to Governor Chamberlain, Monday, to take effect September 10. Judge Ben son will retire to private practice, as the rapid development of Klamath county makes It an alluring field. The First dlstrlot comprises, lake, Klamath, Josephine and Jackson counties. Governor Chamberlain, will be called upon to appoint a successor to Judge Benson at once, and it is expected that either George Nolan or W. J. Moore will get the appointment, with chances In favor of the former. Both are Demo crats.

The First judicial district has been divided between Judge 11. K. Hanna and Judge Benson on account of the Soor tranaportatlnn facilities. Judge anna has Josephine and Jackson coun ties, while Judge Benson or his suc cessor has Lake and Klamath. THUG HOLDS UP AGED WO 111 4 Peraev'ererxcc ard Will Power.

R ports from the surrounding country say that the damage Is heavy. Br4dea are and face reading, has a comparison or the physlog- ryan and lias pro- pared the following analysis: 1 lie two prominent presidential nominees. Mr. Tuft and Mr. Bryan, dif fer widely In cranial and facial develop.! ment. Botli fuces are lntensejy Inter esting and each bus characteristics very pronounced. "In studying the heads and faces of these two men. one is impressed by the classical nose and mouth of Mr. Bryan and the flashing, expressive eyes. To one accttstomcd to reading human na ture, as expressed In the face, these denote strong will power, the ability to magnetize and sway audiences and the power or eloquent oratory. Such a nose, mouth and eyes are rarely seen as Is possessed by the "Commoner." His well-moulded, dimpled chin, square ly set. bespeaks volumes for his deter mination and will power. His high prominent forehead indicates a largely developed sense or trie meal and appre ciation of the beautiful. Below this and over his eyes are two prominent enlargements of the cranium, which be speaks the theoretical mind. At the top of his head Is another well developed bump, which, like his chin. Indicates perseverance and will power. Taft's Sympathy and Insight. "The head and face nf William How ard Taft presents Just as manv Inter esting facts, although totally different In every way, every line and part. For example, instead of the strength of his mouth we notice Its sympathetic curves. His mouth and chin together are so strongly sympathetic that one Is led to predict that such a man with such n wide sympathy might frequently he carried away from tho gaining of his I who grasps the hand of the Republican nominee nrw. looks in tne eve immeai- hsately feels that he is talking with a rriena wno is warm, sympatneiic ana a man of universally even temperament.

Bryan Resolute and Idealistic. "This would Indicate a strong love of travel on the part of Mr. Taft' and his life during the past few years would a&'m to bear out this statement. His forehead Is well developed, although of entlrelv different shape than Mr. Bry an s. whereas Mr. uryan s roreneaa in dicates a man of ideals. Mr. Taft's In dicates a mind of intuitive insight. Mr. Taft would read people correctly end his first impression would almost universally be correct. This Intuitive insight, which is so pronounced, has proven a strong factor in his success, for it enables him to 'size up' Instantly and accurately those with whom ho comes In contact. Hidden beneath his hair on the top of his head is another development which coincides with the pronounced development of his chin and mouth. This is the seat of human sym pathv, which only strengthens the be lief that Mr. Taft is the more sympa thetic of the two men. "One glance at the pictures of the two candidates gives an Impression, in the case of Mr. Bryan, of strength, shrewdness. determination, combined with a nature which looks to the ideal for Its guidance. In the case of Mr. Taft. we note the sympathetic executive with a highly developed sense of good humor, rapacity for detail, and firm Integrity."

It Is the Identity of these persons that the detectives are now Investigating. When Detectives Hellyer, Maloney. Coleman and Price entered the house at 2 o'clock this morning they found besides Wiehler, Mav Roberts, Jessie Thomas and Harry O. Grow. Wiehler was In the same room with the Roberts woman, and the air was full of opium smoke. In the room was also a com plete opium smoking layout with two pipes, both of which had evidently been in use but a short time before. ' Patronized by Whites.

The lamps wile lighted,- await ing another turn at the soothing pipe of bamboo. It was only yesterday that the de tectives learned of the existence of the Stark street den, and preparations, were at once made to raid the place.
