W.W. BANKS WILL
QUIT THE OFFICE
Deputy United States District
, -Attorney Has Resigna- .
x , tion Ready.
REASON FOR HIS ACTION
JTas Other Interests Which He De
sires to Attend To, and "Will
otify W. C. Bristol
! This Morning.
W. W. Banks, deputy United States Dis
trict Attorney for the District of Oregon,
has decided to announce his resignation
of the office he now holds, and this morn
ing will make formal tender of his rcslg
aiation to United States District Attorney
W. C. Bristol, and will relinquish his du
ties. Mr. Bristol, it is .expected, will fill
the office within a few- days by the ap-
? ointment of a Portland man who has
een found to be acceptable to the De
partment of Justice and to President
JtOOSCX'Clt.
Before the appointment of Mr. Bristol
by the President, Mr. Banks had, accord
ing to his statement, decided to tender
his resignation and leave the office. Pri
vate business and outsido interests had
fof some time Influenced the deputy in
making this move, but he had delayed it
from time to time.
"Waited to Clean Up "Work.
When it was announced that Mr. Bristol
had been appointed, Mr. Banks at once
stated to the new official that he desired
lo resign, but asked for a short time to
enable him to so.arrange his private bus
iness that it would be more convenient
for him to leave the office. There were
also official questions in which he was In
terested and which he had been handling
that made it more convenient for him to
retain his office for a time, until these
details were arranged and the business in
which he was interested had been settled.
Mr. Bristol therefore deferred .any ap
pointment ho may have had in mind un
til such time as Mr. Banks had concluded
the business In hand.
Mr. Banks has now cleared the desk of
ills office of any old cases in which ho
has been interested, and will this morning
tender his resignation.
Ills Successor Unknown.
Who has been chosen to succeed Mr.
Banks is a matter of mystery, as Mr.
Bristol has made no statement which can
load oven to supposition as to the iden
tity of the lucky man. It has been ru
mored that the appointee will be a Port
land .man, and in ail probability a man
young in years, but other than this noth
ing is known, and "will notbe until the
new District Attorney makes Tip his mind
to sot speculation at rest by the an
nouncement of his choice.

Thompson had resided In Durango 20

WHAT C. A. COGSWELL SAYS
3Iemberof the Executive Board Has
.Had Dealings With the Corpor
ation, and Favors Introduc
ing San Francisco Plan.
C. A. Cogswell, one of the most influ
ential members of the Executive Board,
and recognized as a person of keen legal
ability, expressed the warmest admira
tion for the course of The Oregonlan In
connection with the gas graft. He said
that he was personally aware of many
shortcomings of tho company, and that it
had been carrying on its nefarious sys
tem for years. "I hear a. great many
complaints relative to the quality of gas
furnished subscribers, as well as the
company's method of doing business.'!
said Mr. Cogswell last night, "and I am
in full accord with The Oregonlan in the
matter. The Gas Company has certainly
been carrying things with a high hand
for a long time, and I think a halt ought
to be called In some of its ways of doing
business.
Plain Proposition of Law.
"I havo not investigated the legal fea
tures In connection with the franchise,
but it s'trlkcs one as a plain proposition
of law that the Legislature had no -right
to grant any such exclusive and perpetual
right under any circumtances. and espe
cially where the city receives" no reve
nue. I am going to look into that phase
of the situation.
"In San Francisco no new franchise is
granted without the city receiving 3
per cent or tnc gross earnings, ana r am
decidedly In favor of such a provision for
all measures of the kind in Portland
hereafter."
Councilman A. X. Wills yesterday had
positive views on the subject of the gas
j-graft. "You can put me down for almost
anything you like in the -way of con
demnation of the Gas Company." said
Mr. Wills, with emphasis. "I have been
familiar with Its way? for a long time,
and that Ls equivalent to an admission
that what The Oregonlan has been print,
lng about the company is no news to me.
As a matter of fact, every person In this
city who has ever had any dealings with
the Gas Company is aware that The Ore
gonlan has not told half the story. I quit
the company long ago. and lately it has
been trying Its best to Induce me to re
sume my patronage, but I wouldn't have
Its product as a gift."
Councilman R. EL Mcncfee was equally
wrought up on the subject, and after giv
ing an experience that merely tallied with
that of nearly every local consumer,
stated that he intended to introduce a
resolution at the next meeting of the
Council calling for an Investigation of
every detail affecting the Gas Company's
franchise. Mr. Menefee was sure the leg
islature had no authority to vest the
company with a perpetual existence, and
proposed to take steps as soon as possi
ble to inquire into the matter. In this
undertaking he will receive the support
of practically every member of the City
Council. as all who have been seen by
The Oregonlan are decidedly in favor of a
move in this direction.

He will ask that the defendants plead to
the several indictments against them, it
being then hl3 purpose to consolidate all
the charges and try the accused upon
the indictments the defendants pleaded
not guilty to in lSOi, before they left for
Quebec, forfeiting bonds of 540.COO each.
A plea iu abatement was read by Colo
nel M'eldrum. holding that the court was
without Jurisdiction because the charge
of conspiracy upon which the first bill of
Indictment had been found waa not an
extraditable offense under tne treaty ob
taining with Canada. He asked the court
to discharge the defendants from custody.
Mr. Erwin expressed a desire to file an
answer to the plea later, suggesting that
the case might proceed in the meantime.
The court tentatively took the same
view. Counsel for the defense objected,
however, claiming that the question of
the plea was. one of vast importance, and
that it should be determined forthwith.
The Indictment, said Colonel Mcldrum,
was found upon a charge of conspiracy.
The British Privy Council has found that
conspiracy is not an extraditable offense
between the United States and the Do
minion of Canada, hence, as the defend
ants were extradited, they cannot be tried
upon an Indictment alleging conspiracy.
This, according to the defense, would
quash the two old indictments.
Argument in support of the plea in
abatement was begun by A. A. Lawrence,
of counsel for tho defense.
