" " INDIAN SlNOOL HEAD OUT Cnshman Superintendent Ousted for Caressing Girl Charges. OREGOXIAS" NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Dec. 16. Superintendent H. H. Johnson, of the Cushman Indian School at Tacoma. was today dismissed by Indian Commissioner Sells for indiscre tion. Johnson was charged with too great familiarity with several Indian girls at his school, having been seen caress ing them on different occasions. He ccme to Washington, offered explana tion, but admitted facts as charged and on this ground was dismissed. No serious offense was alleged against Lira. his wife and 10-year-old son, Alfred Crooks. The Rev. Mr. Crooks was 62 years 6ld,- and for several years had charsc of the Lifeboat Mission in Seattle. About two years ago both he and his wife took up evangelistic work.

PORTLAND HOT FAVORED REGIONAL BANK OF PACIFIC COAST MAY FALL TO SAX FIlASfCISCO. MINISTER DIES ON FERRY Rev. James Crooks, of Portland, Vic tim of Heart Disease at Vancouver. VANCOUVER, Wash, Dec. IS. (Spe cial.) The Rev. James Crooks, a Meth odist evangelist of Portland, died sud denly of heart disease while on the Vancouver ferry this afternoon with Seaatora Chamberlain and Lane Work for Government Depository TVtlh Little Hope for Success. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 16. There appears to be little prospect of bringing about the establishment of a regional bank at Portland when the new currency law goes into effect, but Senators Chamber lain and Lane will take up the matter as soon as the Federal Board is organ lied. Only by the order of this board can a regional bank be established at Portland, as the currency bill does not fix the locations were such batiks shall be established. The currency bill, as it passed the House. Drovided for 12 regional banks. but did not stipulate the cities in which the-y are to be located, une cenaie committee advocated reducing me number of regional banks to eight, ana the question of numbers is yet to be determined. Senator Chamberlain and senator Lane agree that it would have been un wise and unprofitable to have under taken to amend the currency bill by providing for the establishment of a regional bank at Portland, for immedi ately other Senators would have of fered similar amendments. When the currency bill becomes operative, however, it is the purpose of both Senator Chamberlain and Senator Lano to anDeal to the Federal Board and nrge the establishment of a re gional bank at Portland. The general understanding in nmn. Ingtun, based on the views of the bec- retary of the Treasury, ana views voiced privately by Senator Owen ami Representative Glass, chairmen of the r.irf-tivi banking and currency com mittees, is that only one regional bank will be located on the Pacific Coast, and that at San Francisco. In the event two such banks are to be accorded to the Pacific Coast, the fight for the second bank will lie be tween Portland and Seattle. The banks of Seattle are bringing to bear considerable influence to secure a regional bank, if a second one is to be accorded the Taclfic Coayt.
