C0SSACKS MAY
WRECK BANK
Of ENGLAND
WITH LITTLE CLAIM FOR
FOUR HUNDRED MILLION
Count Comes to London With
Instructions Not to Come
Back Without the Coin They
Think Due Them,

London, Feb 29,-Cossacks may
rob the Bank Of England of the i'm
mense amount of 400,00O,000 hope
lessly wrecking the most famous
money institution in the world. Now
the Cossacks in question do not in
tend to sWoOp down on the bank,
astride their little horses, yelling like
madmen and waving their lances, for
even the Cars rough riders have to
certain extent become civilized and
so thinking that they have a claim
against the Gibraltar of Finance they
have sent a special messenger, Count
Kapnist to present their demands.
The Count is in London in behalf
of sXty-fve descendants of a former
Hetman of Cossacks, Polubatko, who
say they have s40O,O00,OO0 principal
and interest on deposit with the bank,
and now when people in general have
come to look upon banks with dis
trust they want the money which
their ancestor deposited long ago.
The Cossacks decided to take this
step after three days family con-
ference at Starodub in the govern
ment of Poltava. Count Kapmist was
given $4,000 to cover his expenses and
dares not return to Russia until he
brings back with him the money.
The Bank of England people are
investigating the claim ana DelleNe
that the Cossacks are acting in good
faith, though they sincerely hope the
claim viii not prove valid.

. proposition submitted
by N. A. Means. the well-known
Lewiston wholeAale' broker, which
provided for the construction and
operation Of motor line within the

Of his associates at this time to Sc
cure only an expression from the
council to ascertain how a PROPOSE
tion Of this character would be re-
ceived. He stated local business
men had pledged q suficient fund to
build and operate approximately
three miles OF street car lire. and
that II the proposition was received
with favor, steps would Be taken ut
once to perfect the organization OF
this capital and the matter would
be brought before the council in the
form Of an application for 4 fran
chise setting forth the streets upon
which the company desired to con-
struct its tracks.

forth the purposes Of the company to
provide terminal facilities for any
other companies that might desire to
enter the city. and provision was
incorporated which would insure to
any such company trackage rights
over the local company's line at q
nominal charge. The fact that the
street paving will be commenced

be necessary to assemble the neces-
sary materials with which to carry

junction with the paving work was
brought to the attention of the
council.

intention Of the company to place

tion was completed, and the plans
for extensions into the suburban
districts were also outlined.

of the paving occupied by the rail-
way system, and a. soon as the Or
ganization of the company was ef-
fected these details would be deh-
nitely arranged between the council
and the company.

for approximately the sum necessary
to construct and equip the line. aud

FOR KILLING RALPH B. FISHER,
JAMES A. FINCH Is FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE
FIRST DEGREE.

Portland. Dec. s1.-James A.
Finch. slayer Of Ralph B. Fisher.
late prosecutor for the State Bar as
sociation. was convicted Of murder
in the flrst degree at 1928 o'clock
yesterday afternoon after % min
utes' deliberation by the Jury. Only
one ballot was taken.
Finch was visibly affected when
the verdict was read. but soon recov-
cred his eQuanimity.
Judge Bronaugh announced that
he would pass sentence Saturday
morning at . o'clock and after the
customary motions had been made
by the defense, Finch was led to the
steel cage In the county jail reserv-
ed for prisoners convicted Of murder
IN the first degree.
Finch in this cell declared later
IN the day that he proposed to tight
BIS conviction clear to the United
States supreme court and that
though they NAV finally hang him.
they will not be able to do 80 for
years to come.
When court opened Deputy Dis
trict Attorney ]. J. Fitzgerald began
the closing argument for the prose-
eution. He summarized the case
from the standpoint Of the state and
tAen turned upon the lawyers for the
defense. who had bitterly arraigned
ne attorneys for the state. and de-
lounced Finch's attorneys In W.T.
sielic language, his climax being
that II Cain had Finch's lawyers de-
lending him they would have claim
"a that the killing Of Abel was done
h self-defense.
Judge 'Bronaugh delivered his
charge upon the reconvening OF
eourt at : O'Clock. He required a
httle less than an hour for its deiiv-
~, handing the case over to the
jury at 2:5s o'clock.
The crime Tor which Finch stands
convicted was an wanton and afro
eious a. has ever been committed
here.
Finch. recently disbarred by the
state supreme court for a period OF
year on complaint Of the Bar asso'
eiation. held the idea that Prosec'''
eof Fisher was inspired by vindic'
we motives. Finch went to the
pfosecutor's once on November ~
