THE WALSH sPECULATIONs.
Charged With Fraud in Buying and Sell
ing Stocks.


NEW YORK, April 16.-James
Walsh and his son Thomas j.
Walsh, who until December last
conducted a banking business as
Walsh & Son, have been arrested
and arraigned before Magistrate
Mott on a charge of larcency. The
complainant is James A. Walsh,
a manufacturer of bags. He
claims that the defendants sold
500 shares of distilling and cattle
feeding stock valued at $1,000 be-
longing to him, and failed to pay
over to him the proceeds. The &C
cused Washes said that they
were not ready to go on with eX-
animation and asked that the case
go over till today. Mr.. Walsh ST.,
then asked if his examination
could not be held at another time,
as his son had ruined him and he
did not wish the examination to-
gether. Magistrate Mott agreed
and fixed bail at $4,000 each. The
father at once secured the required
amount but made no effort to keep
his son from going to jail. The
complainant, Walsh, said he first
began to do business with the de-
PENDANTS in 1889. He deposited
with them $4,000 and gave them
orders to buy and sell stocks upon
his account, putting up margins
until the fall of 1895 when he had
credit with them of about $23,
600. The dealings were princi-
pally in sugar and distilling and
cattle feeding stocks. They al
ways gave him notices of sales and
purchases made to his account,
but they had never informed him
from whom the shares were pur-
chased or to whom sold. On De-
cember last the firm of Walsh &
Son made an assignment. In an
affidavit, Mr.. Walsh the complain
tant says:
"At a meeting, when it was
claimed the firm had been ruined
by the sons bad speculations, L
stated to Mr.. Walsh that if he or
his son could show me where they
lost in any stocks in speculation l
would not only give them the time
but would loan them $1,000 to re-
sumo business. placed an expert
on the business and could not find
by them where any stocks or shares
had ever been either purchased or
sold for my account. When asked
where the blotter was, Mr.. Walsh
said he did not keep a blotter.
The expert informed me that the
books were fraudulently kept from
day to day and in no instance
did they show any speculations
that would even have embarrassed
the firm. From what 1 can learn
1 am satisfied that instead Of buy
ing stocks with my money they
used it and informed me that my
orders had been carried out"
Mr.. Walsh, the senior member
of the firm of Walsh & Son, de-
clined to make a statement, sta
ting that he had been ruined finan-
cially by his sons wild speculation
and this fresh trouble was one he
did not care to discuss. The son
also had nothing to say.

The Church Checks the Bike,

CHICAGO, April 16.-Jenks
Lloyd Jones, of All Souls church,
has formed an alliance with the
bicycle. With him it is no longer
the pulpit versus the Sunday
wheel. 1t is the pulpit and the
wheel as twin materials for max
ing people better. Mr.. Jones says
that in forming this alliance he is
snatching victory for himself and
filling the pews Of his church.
The notice which is sent to the
local papers regarding Sundays
services contains the following:
"Bicyclists invited. Wheels
taken charge OF at the doors at the
morning service. There will be no
charge for taking care Of the wheels
during the service"
II the plan OF checking bicycles
at the morning service proves sue
cessful he will extend the innova-
ton to the evening service also.
"The bicycle" said Mr.. Jones
discussing his novel idea, sis every
mans carriage. Every day more
people are getting it and bringing
it into their every day use. Its
usefulness is varied. 1t is the
church or the wheel, one needs no
prophetic eye to see which will
win in tho majority Of cases.
"All Souls church will try and
avert the conflict by selecting the
church and the wheel. 1t is try
ing to arrange for the care OF the
wheels OF all those who desire to
attend its morning service. All
the wheels left at the door will be
checked by an attendant aud cared
for during church hours"

that it is unnecessary to give a list OF his

pionship in New York was road event
between Paris and lyon in France. He
also won a road race in England, covering
$40 miles. leaving his other competitors
many leagues behind.
He is IA man Of rather slight physique,
and to the average observer does not be-
tray the immense power Of endurance Of
which he is possessed During the recent
race at Madison Square Garden he rode
a wheel geared to 9s, ana he attributed
the ease with which he pushed 1t, to the
peculiar triangular-link chain which he as
we'll as the other English racers use. Hale
is not in the best of condition after his
long race in New York and it would not
surprise any one to see him beaten.
Boy Rider From England.
James warburten, of England, is
voungster of nineteen years but he has
| made an cnviable record already. His
principal WORK. however, has been done
as paccmaker for the Linton brothers and
Jimmy Mchales.
He rode some good races in France as
! an amateur. coming in close to ,Iacquelin,
| NORM. and other French riders Of note.
Joseph Hunter is a Frenchman by birth,
having first seen the light of day at Chan
! tlly. He is the smallest man of the
| English team. standing five feet, two
inches in height. He has done mostly
pacing work, although he has an enviable
| record as a road racer, having made d
| great showing in that line in France
Chapple is another English rider who
| is expected to ma kc a strong fight in the
coming race. He is a y0ungstcr also, but
lie brings with him a record OF which any
| rider might well be proud.
Dudley Marks, who is also entered, has
| acted as the trainer of the English team
since they came to this country. His
| principal work has been pace-making for
Linton, although he has done some good
road ridIhg in England.
The coming struggle between these noted
riders will be momentous event in the
annals OF racing history, and no doubt
will attract crowds of people to the Ic'
Palace during the entire progress Of the
race.

career on the track, and his recent victories
are too fresh in the mind OF the public To
need exploiting Like Linton, his attempts
at the records will be both paced and un-
paced.
No doubt great deal of interest will be
taken in comparing the respective showing
or the English and American champions
though there is no chance of seeing them
pitted against each other.
Beside these attempts at record smash
ing there viii undoubtedly be many side
matches between members of the English
and American teams. As in the New YORK
contest, racers such as Starbuck, or Phiia-
delphia; Goodman, OF New York, and others
will have the privilege of challenging the
various cracks, and the contests resulting
from these challenges will add very con-
siderably to the interest all through the
