Special District Attorney E. E.
Cushman has notified the government
that he has resigned his position, and

which he held was created when he
was appointed about a year ago, and it

Francis w. Cushman, and for number
of years has been assistant attorney
of the district Of Washington. More
than a year ago the business of the
San Francisco district got So far be-
hind that, with the incoming Of a new
district attorney, it was decided to turn
over all the old business, consisting Of
a number Of Alaskan, Idaho, Montana
and Hawiian cases, to a special dis

the appointment. Within few weeks
he will have cleaned up all this busi-
ness, says the t-Intelligencer.
During the past winter and last fall
Mr.. Cushman made big stake in real
estate transactions. his profits being
estimated at over 100000. The man.
agement of his investments will take
up much of his time in the future.
