And the teams we met and the oountrymen;
And the long highways with the sunshine

UNFORTUNATE Mr.. WALSH.
A Former High OGlciaI Arrested for Pass
ing "A Worthless Check.

A Former High OGlciaI Arrested for Pass
ing a Worthless Check.
NEW YORK, March John H. Walsh, ex-
nssistant superintendent Of the treasury at
Washington under Secretary Fairchild, was
prisoner ia the Jefferson Market pohco
court yesterday. He was charged by Harll-
SON +. Downes, the clerk Of the Morton house,
with passing worthless check for slsl33 ON
him IN payment for board and accommoda-
tons for himself aud friends
The affidavit upon which Walsh was ar
rested, and which was made by Downes,
charges him with giving a check in payment
OF his bill az the hotel drawn on the banking
firm Of Riggs a. Co, OF Washington. After
giving the check Mr. Walsh removed
all his goods and chatteis 10 No
243 East One Hundred and Eighteenth
street. The hotel proprietor, for some rea-
son or other which he does not state, tele-
gIuphed TO the banking house Of Riggs a.
Co, asking il Mr. Walsh had an account
there. An answer came by telegraph stating
that he formerly had ansaccount with them,
but that he had drawn it all out. Upon re-
ceipt OF the telegram Mr. Downes went 70 the
Jefferson Market police court and swore out
a warrant for Walsn's arrest He will have
an examination to-day.
Walsh comes from Albany, where he was
once prominent builder whose enterprise
was the talk Of the place and at one time he
was estimated 70 be worth at least SlO0,000-
The panic Of 1913 somewhat crippled him,
but he soon overcane his difficulties
Iatterly he has been a regular Democrat
and was an intimate friend OF the late Danief
Manning. II was through Mr.. Manning's
friendship for him that he was appointed as
sistant superintendent Of the treasury under
secretary Fairehild, which position he held
until the lst Of last January, when he came
to New York
When Cleveland ran lor reelection 70 tho
presidency last November Walsh worked
energetically in his support He contributed
literally to campaign funds aId worked
encrgetically throughout lha staie fur his
election. His faith IA President Chveiands
success was so great thai he wagsrod al tho
money he possessed upon tine Dcmocratic
candidate and lost
