Secretary of the Treasury Will
 Soon ReIinquish Portfolio
50 NOTIFIES THE PRESIDENT
He Will Leave Cabinet as Soon as Mir. Roosevelt Can Find Suitable Successor--WouId Like 10
 Leave Before Spring.

Washington, December 2O.-It is Secre- tary Cages intention to relinquish the treasury portfolio as soon as President Roosevelt can find a suitable successor, and he has so informed the President.
 MT Gage would like to be relieved be- fore spring. The President has done all he can to dissuade Secretary Gage from retiring, and will probably continue his efforts in that direction. Secretary Cages intention to retire was made known to the President some little time ago. The long conference between the President and secretary before the cabinet meeting today which followed the secretary's re- turn from New York, where he attended the banquet of the Bankers Association last night had nothing to do with the question of the secretary's resignation It related to the removal of Appraiser Wakeman, whose resignation Secretary Gage requested few days ago. Ap- praiser Wakeman wrote letter to the secretary declining to resign, and in the course of which he took occasion to re- fleet upon Secretary Gage. The President did approve the spirit of the letter. and at the conference, 1t Is understood, it was decided to remove MT. Wakeman.
 After the cabinet meeting Secretary Gage declined to say anything about the rumors of his resignation beyond the sim pie statement that he had not for mally" resigned. What I may or may not do eventually I am not prepared to say now said the secretary. But I can say the relations between the Pres ident and myself are perfectly cordial. He will do almost anything I would ask, and would do almost anything he might ask"
 Later the official announcement was made that MT. Wakenan had been re- moved and that George w. Whitehead, late collector of customs of Porto Rico, had been appointed to succeed him.

ESTABLISH BANKS
 IN PHILIPPINES
THREE DISTINCT MOVEMENTS WITH THAT END IN VIEW ARE UNDER WAY IN THE UNITED STATES.

New York, December 0.-Three distinct movements are at this moment under way having in view the establishment of American banking facilities in the Orient, says the Journal and Commerce These include, first, the establishment of branches 1t Shanghai and Manila by the Guaranty Trust Company; second, the establishment of a bank particularly or ganized for the Oriental business by a syndicate of which Edward H. Cragin Is the head, and third the establishment by a New York National bank of a branch at Manila, al soon as suitable legislation can be secuted.
 The first two of these movement have taken definite and tangible form, but details are thus far lacking regarding either the identity of the National bank which proposes to establish a branch at Manila, or she legal form under which 1t Is proposed such a branch could be established Two banks. which have been more or less freely mentioned in connec- tion with this rumor, are the National City and the Chase National. These ru- mors have. however. been denied by rep resentatives of both these banks.
 Vice-Presidentl Turnbull of the Guar anty Trust Company. and MT. Wisse one of the London managers of the company. sailed from San Francisco recently for the purpose of establishing branches of the trust company at Shanghai and Ma nila. They have instructions to under take at once the opening up of the branches. The company has given the authorities at Washington such assur- ances of It's responsibility that it will. it is understood, receive one-half of this governments installment of the Chinese indemnity, and will, in time. become cus- todian, in whole or in part of the civil island military fund at Manila
 Definite details of Mir. Cragin's plans are not yet available. but it is learned that MT. Cragin has already secured the senior partner of one of the best Amer ican China houses as agent at Shanghai of his new bank. MT. Cragin. 1t will be recalled, was a member of the Eyre Cragin syndicate, which secured a con- cession from Nicaragua for building the canal

Sensational London Trial Brought
 to Sudden Close
JURY LOST LITTLE TIME
Rendered a Verdict of Guilty and Jackson and Ills Reputed Wife Were Sentenced to IS and
 Years, Respectively.

London, December 20.-Theodore and Laura Jackson. the latter best known in the United States by the name of Ann Odelia Diss De Bar were found guilty by jury in the Old Bailey Court today on the charges of immoral practices and fraud. The judge at once imposed sen- tences of fifteen and seven years penal servitude upon Jackson and his reputed wife, respectively.
 The female prisoner as usual, furnished the dramatic features of the day in her examination of the witnesses, cross-ex- amining them in modulated tones and alternatedly whining or threatening.
 When the case of the prosecution was closed the defendants announced that they would not call any witnesses, but would testify In their own behalf.
 Jackson Began Address.
 Jackson was then sworn and conn menced an address very much in the na- ture of lecture. in the course of which he claimed to be a man bound to a single life by religious vows, and emphaticaliy denied the testimony furnished as to his conduct with Daisy Adams, whose story. he said. was a tissue of falsehoods. He described the female prisoner as a medi- um through whom he Jackson) had communication with his spiritual wife"
 Jackson in his address, referred to his estate of 72sO acres of land in Florida and dwelt at great length on the principles of the Dem ocratic Unity"
 During his cross-examination Jackson was very insolent to the Solicitor General Sir Edward Carson. While the Solicitor General was examining jackson. the lat name by which the female defendant is known) is guilty. I am guilty also.'
 She Refused to Be Included.
 Mrs. Jackson quickly rose to her feet (having been accommodated with a chair in the dock) and refused to be included with Jackson in the charge of criminal assault. When asked whether Mrs. Jack son had been imprisoned at New Orleans Jackson refused to answer unth the question was repeated to him by the fe- male defendant. He then said she had been in jail twice.
 Mrs. Jackson then testified, admitting that she was the divorced wife of General Diss De Bar, from whom she had inherit ed fortune.
 T> woman also admitted that she had been married to a man named McGool and to P H. Messaul. She said her in- come from the Diss De Bar property was sl4,0OO yearly. She acknowledged that she served six months in jail for defraud- ing Luther C. Marsh.
 The deliberation of the jury was brief and verdict of guilty in the case of both prisoners was rendered.
