. The proceedings Instituted were based
en three charges; that the action of

that the examination was not public

, . . -
One result of tbe electroeutloa ef
James E. Bannister fletarday Afterhoon
will undoubtedly .be a demand upon the
city council for paaaage of the proposed
ordinance requiring elect rio wires te be
placed underground.
f While Coroner Flnley characterises
the arrangements of wires on the thou
sands of poles about the city as "death
traps," he refuses to hold an Inquest
Into the death of Bannister, declaring
that a thefe Is no queetion as to the
cauae of the llneman'a death the case la
not one which can be properly laid be

Meanwhile. the-ordlBSno introduced
by Councilman Preston which will put
the wires In conduits In a place of safety
la resting easily In the box of the street
committee of Ihe council. ' ,.
Delayed by Bequest.
' The Portland General Kleotrlo com
pany asked that action upon It he de
layed for 10 day aa it waa feared some
t be readily purchased would be demanded
by the ordinance.- The committee
granted the request Bines then another
ordinance haa been Introduced by Coun
cilman Annand which provides for plac
ing oondulta for wires' In th eub-base-menta
of buildings. This 1 also being
held back. There la little doubt but
that thla would entail endless litigation
brought by property owner who would
refuse to give .up any epaoe ta their
buildings. .- ,
Ths Portland' General denies any re
eponslblllty for the death of Bannister,
who waa repairing the, private telephone
line of the water department. ,
"Their wires wsre plaoed too close to
our and during th warm weather all
wires sxpand and aag down, thla causing
the crossing," said H. 8. Bladen, elec
trical superintendent of the company,
today. "There were none of bur wire
on that polo aa they run up Fifth atreet,
while the telephone wire are along Jef

this morning. The reaeon given for

after Investigation a postponement of

the government contends that Hoge la

When court convened Attorney O'Day
Informed Judge.. Hunt that he had re

wae confined to hie room "In cheap

to be unconscious end I couldn't get any
word out of him. There were no signs
of paralytic condition. Hie limbs wsre
more or leee relaxsd, and thsre waa
no rigidity. , Hla pupils were contracted.
There -was a slight elevation of temperature-
and the pulse was rather

make out he was Buffering from any

and apoke ef bis having meningitis. I
cculd find no evldenoe of mentngltte
whatever. The state of sleep In which
he seemed to be could have been feigned.
In my opinion the major part of his
trouble is feigned and not reel. I know
nothing to prevent bringing him Into
