" ALSH TO
SAVE ROADS
HE WILL PROBABLY YET BE
RAILROAD KING OF
INDIANA

| Chicago, Dec 22.-Out of the crash
of his three Chicago banks, dragged
down by his efforts to- finaIce and
develop his railroad properties, John
R. Walsh is likely to emerge with his
dream Of becoming the railroad king
of Indiana realized, according to the
statement made last night by James
H. Eckels, president of the CONNER
cial National bank and member OF
the clearing house committee.
Walsh, in trying to project his rail-
roau into Chicago, became involved
in bitter fight with large interests
antagonistic to his enterprises. This
fight has put him out of business as a
banker, but, singularly enough, the
very failure of the banks may yet
make him a railroad magl.te.
The completion of the Chicago
Southern railroad, which forms the
connecting link between the Indiana
field, which Walsh started out years
ago to dominate, anu the Chicago
market, was assured at the meeting OF
the clearing house committee yester-
day. The committee, representing the
banks which guaranteed the $4,000,
900 liabilities, also decided to permit
no default of the interest on the rail
road bonds!
Gives Up Wisconsin Road.
Mr.. Walsh is not to retain posses
sion Of the Wisconsin & Michigan rail
road, a valuable asset, which the clear
ing house committee discovered at the
Sunday conference with Comptroller
Ridgley. This railroad was the, abso
lutte property of Walsh's bank, which
owned both the bonds and the stock
/ While the clearing house COMMITTEES
valued it at only 40 cents on the dol
lar when the estimated assets were
tabulated, it is now believed it will
/ realize a much larger amount

ASKS TO BE TAKEN "a
PRISON

Council Bluffs, Dec 22.-At his own
request David T. Stubbs was taken to
Fort Madison penitentiary last even
ing imm ediately after being sentenced
to term Of eighteen months for en-
bezzlement. Stubbs was found short
last August in his accounts as cashier
of the Citizens Gas & Electric com.

many of Stubbs' friends interceded for
him, urging the defendants promin

a merely nominal sentence.
Stubbs admitted the defalcatior
from the first and pleaded guilty II

sued Last Night Says President
Roosevelt First Fsvored Black for
Senator and Then Aided in His De
feat by chauncey Depew.

New York, Dec 22.-In the course
OF an interview last night Mr.. Odell
asserted that it was President Roose.
velt who persuaded him to come out
Tor Ex-Governor Frank s. Black for
United States senator to succeed
,Chauncey M. Depew, and that 1t was
the use of the Presidents influence
against Black subsequently which led
to Mr.. Blacks defeat
Odell says the interview with the
President took place In the fall of 1904
and that Roosevelt then said that 1t
was a pity to have the state of New
York represented by two almost senile
old men. He expressed himself as fa-
vorable to Black and Odell says at
the request promised to assist in
Blacks election.
PIatt Sides With Depew.
I'VE were making great headway,'
said Odell, when Senator Platt called
conference in the interest of Depew,
That conference was practically DOM
mated by friends of the President and
the governor. The leading federal Of
flee holders of New York were there
and all declared for Depew as against
Black. was amazed. When con-
vinced myself that the President and
the governor We're not willing to stand
for the proposition which each Of them
had asked me to carry out, I concluded
that ! would not stand for 1t alone"

in proposing Assemblyman James w.
Wadsworth of Livingstone county for
speaker of the state assembly. The
governor said in part.
! Previous tc my going to New York
| had learned through several mem
bers of the assembly who called upon
me that Governor Odell was using my
name for the purpose of securing
pledges for Mr.. Merritt for speaker.
| asked him by what authority he was
using my name. He told me he Thought
that at a conference month previous,
| he had satisfied me that Mr.. Merritt
was the proper man to support for
the place. / at that time Qast friday
asked him IL he would agree upon any
other candidate-any man in the leg
islature He told me he would not;
that he was pledged to Mr.. Merritt,
and Mr.. Merritt would not withdraw.
do not care to discuss with Governor
Odell through the press questions of
/ honesty or dishonesty

can party is concerned, think that
can safely be trusted with the press
and the people, as to whether my ac-
tion is wise or unwise"
