The late-season atrlke affecting
6000 fishermen and cannery workers
recalled the one-day strike of similar
nature in August ft year ago. Fisher
men racked their nets today, but
were repairing them rather than put
ting them away for the winter.
The Columbia River Fishermen's
Protection union demanded 8 cents ft
pound for salmon until August IS.
with 6 cents a pound thereafter.
Packers offered 8 cents ft pound
until August 15, with the price to be
determined later for the catch from
the middle of August until the sea

The Columbia River Salmon Co.
and the Barbery Packing Co. here
were packing ocean-caught salmon,
but were not receiving any river fish.
All other canneries were closed.
Both sldos were holding tight In
their proposals. The atrlke at this

world but himself. He has been in
numerous controversies with his as
sociate and his community."
When I aaf.4d Dr. Stelner what he
meant by the phrase "psychopathic
personality with strong paranotdal
trends," he stated that he meant
that Ban Its was "crazy as hell.'1 Both
Dr. Stelner and Dr. Evans advise
against the transfer of Banka from
the penitentiary. They state:
Asylum Escape .Seen.
"This case would be a most diffi
cult one for the hospital to take
in for the reason of the probability
of his escape and his menace to so
ciety, and of our necessity to place
htm under conditions which would
be very much more disagreeable for
him and his friends ... He is only
one of many cases like which are
to be found In every penitentiary,
and It Is unfair to this Institution,
I feel, to place him here without
suitable provisions for confinement.
His case la not one which offers any
hope of cure or betterment, and i
can see no logical argument for his
transfer here unless he should be
come absolutely unmanageable in
the prison to which society, through
Its regular courts, committed him
. , . We found, from his own state
ments, that he had been treated
kindly by the officers of the prison
since his Incarceration and that he
had no complaints to make aa to
this treatment."
Conclusions.
I believe that it is evident from
what has been said before that all
of the evidence in this case points
directly to Banks himself as being
th Derson who crumbled the bi
chloride of mercury tablets into his
own sugar. It will be recalled that
Banks was greatly depressed over
the denial by Governor Meter of the
application of George P. Moran for a
pardon for Banks. It is possible that
a motive is that Banks desired to
arouse sympathy to be tiaed as trie
basts of another attempt at pardon
to be engineered by his friend. Mrs.
Pomeroy. Frankly. I have not yet
found a public official famlllsr with
Banks and the circumstances of his
alleged poisoning attempt who does
not believe that Mr. Banks was the
guilty party. The entire poisoning
incident demonstrates beyond the
shadow of a doubt that a pardon
for Banks at this time would be
against the public interest.
Visits Disturb.
It would not be possible for any ;
unbiased person to study .this case
without coming definitely to the
conclusion that a continuance oi
Mrs. Pomeroy'a visits with Banks
would be Inimical to the best inter
ests of this prisoner. The prison
authorities state positively that her
every visit causea a fresh disturb
ance of Banks and aggravates ana ;
accentuates Banks' belief in his I
"martyrdom." Mrs. Pomeroy'a attl- j

people toward Llewellyn A. Banks.
Mrs. Pomeroy describes this con
