After : serving as ' Sasaletant United States attorney for : two years, James Cole resigned. his office yesterday im mediately upon learning of Chiistian Scbuebels appointment aa district at torney. Mr. Cole will devote his time to his private law practice in which he Is associated with his brother, Bartlett Cole. v-. Mr. Cole hasmade aVecord for the office while an incumbent. He thas Sroseouted every caBe brought by the Istrlct attorney's office in the local courts with the exception of two land fraud cases which Francis J.' Heney turned over to W. C. Bristol when Heney was called from Portland to San Francisco in tne summer oi auo. . Mr. Cole also collected all the fines, amounting " mure uun i,v muimi. taken la by the office under the Bristol regime. Among these were the fines secured In the furniture trust cases, mnnntlnir trt mahr thousand, dollars. - Standing out in prominence of the work' done try the district attorney's office In the past two years was the In dictment seoured by Mr. Cole before the federal' grend Jury which was in session last summer. The biggest of these was the furniture trust, but the indictments Were against every form of criminals,, lrteluding postofflce robbers. counterfeiters ana otners. . Not only did Mr. Cole secure indict merits agalr)s agaliist the offenders, but prose cuted them. He was uniformly success- . n . th. pmiAmirtnni nni v iva ' man getting out Tf the clutches of the law, and the-vwon technical grounds. When it waa learned that Bristol's name had been - withdrawn , from the senate, many of the most prominent federal officials in the country urged Mr. Cole to allow ; them to place his name before the president to 'succeed Mr. Bristol. Mr. Cole declined for. ob vious reasons. He has a lucrative law practice which he enjoys and he has a strong dislike for politics. It was only his loyalty to LMr. Bristol that kept him in office for two years. . Of retiring nature and modest man ner, Mr. Cole won hundreds of friends while in office and bis absence from public service will be regretted by the many who had cause to associate and confer with him. He has been In Port land about - four years and was sp. pointed' tooths position from which be resigned yesterday solely upon merit and without the aid or backing of any other friend than .
