CHICAGO FAILURE
JOHN r. WALsH's THREE INsrtTU.
TIoNs SUSPEND OPERATIONS.
0EPosIroRs WILL BE PAID
Clearing House Comes to the Rescue
walsh Claims That Securities
Largely Exceed Liabilities.

Chicaso.-Three of the largest finan-
cial institutions in the West, the Chi
cago National Bank. the Home Savings
Bank and the Equitable Trust Com
pany, all of them controlled by John
X Walsh of this city. and in great
measure owned by him, suspended op-
erations Monday. Their affairs will be
hquidated as rapidly as possible and
they VIII go out of business
Mr. Walsh, who was the president of
the Chicago National Bank and of the
Equitable Trust Company, has re-
signed. c. II. Bosworth national bank
examiner, has succeeded Mr.. Walsh at
the head of the Chicago National Bank,
and the places of the directors have
been filled by men appointed by the
Chicago Clearing House. Back of the
new management stand the allied
banks of Chicago. who have pledged
their resources that every depositor
shall be paid the last cent and that no
customer of any one of the three insti-
tutions shall lose anything by reason
OF the suspension. Had not this ac-
ton been taken by the banks of this
city. disastrous panic must have fol-
lowed in the financial world.
The immediate cause of the collapse
OF the institutions controlled by Mr..
Walsh is said to be the large amount
OF money which they have loaned to
various private enterprises of his
notably the Southern Indiana railway
and the Bedford Quarries Company of
Indiana.
Mr.. Walsh claims that If he could
have had little more time and been
left untrammeled in his operations, he
could nave saved MS Danhs ana made
enormous profits for himself and his
associates. He bases this statement
on his estimate of the value of the
bonds of the Southern Indiana Railroad
Company.
The comptroller, the state auditor and
the members of the Chicago Clearing
House committee place the value of
the bonds at one-half the valuation of
Mr.. Walsh, and it was their refusal to
accept his valuation that caused the
suspension of the banks.
The liabilities of the three institu-
tions are estimated in the aggregate at
S26,000,0OO.
Against this amount the banks and
the trust companies have resources
that are on conservative estimate
worth s16.000.00O. The bonds of the
Southern Indiana Railroad Company
are estimated by Mr.. Walsh as being
worth $16,000.000. They are considered
by the comptroller and the clearing
house committee to be worth a little
more than half that sum.
/. The directors of the two banks and
Mr.. Walsh, who has turned over all OF
his private property, as well as that
standing in the name of his wife. have
pledged real estate and securities val
ued at $5,0O0.000. and estimate the
railroad bonds at $4,000. 900 more. max
ing total of $29000,000 assets
against $26, 100000 liabilities.

Senate Passes Panama Bill.

Washington.-Th Senate Saturday
passed the Panama canal emergency
bill. but the result was not attained
until the debate had been continued
the greater prrt of the day, to the ex-
clusion of practically all other busi-
ness. Mr. Newlands expressed the
opinion that the construction Of the
canal should have been entrusted to
the Geological Survey.
A substitute for Mr.. Bacon's amend
ment offered by Mr. Hale was ac-
cepted. 1t specifically requires that
Congress shall be supplied with regu.
lar estimates of all salaries except
those paid to laborers, skilled or un-
skilled. Otherwise the bill was passed
as reported from the committee
During the discussion Mr.. Hale made
the statement that Mr.. Bishops duties
as press agent" would be discon-
tinued.

RECLAMATION WORK.
Enterprises in Hand TO Reclaim $685.
900 Acres Of Arid Land.

Washington.-The secretary OF the
interior has recently approved two
new reclamation projects One. which
will be partly in Texas and partly in
New Mexico. is called the Rio Grande
project; the other. which will be
wholly in New Mexico, will be called
the Carlsbad project. The two addi-
tional projects will bring the num-
Der OF reclamation schemes up to TWEEN
ty-four. OF these eleven are well un-
der way. They provide for the recla-
nation of 1903. GOO acres of arid lands
ut n cost of $37.02S,57I These are big
figures and they represent big projects
On June 30, 1905. the total cost of
construction and engineering work per-
formed by the reclamation service, to-
gether with the administration ex-
penses. amounted to s5.462.169. On
that date the reclamation fund had
reached a total of $2s.02s,511. IL was
estimated at that time that the re-
ceipts for the fiscal years 190G-i90S
would amount to $9.0oo,000. so that
the sum of money available for recia-
nation purposes up to the end of 1908
will be $37,02S,571.
Since the work of reclamation began
~ miles of main canals have been con-
structed and 81 miles of distributing
canals, as well as 1S6 miles Of bitches
and 14I bridges. over 9,350,000 cubic
yards of earth have been excayated
and three and one-half miles OF tunnel
driven. The telephone lines installed
have measured $50 miles and the roads
built have covered 126 miles. IL has
been necessary to erect fifty Offices
and other buildings. One cement mill
has been constructed, the product of
which already amounts TO 5000 bar
rels. Besides the cement manufac-
tured by the reclamation service, use
has been found for $4,000 additional
barrels of cement. which We're pur
chased in open market. Over ESQ, 900
feet b. NJ of lumber have been sawed
for the work of construction and $780,
900 feet b. NJ. in addition have been
purchased. The concrete completed
amounts to 10000 cubic yards, the pud-
ding done to 4.5OO cubic yards. and
the rip-rap completed to 10000 cubic
yards. and the paving to 10000 square
feet. The railroad iron used amounts
to 10000 pounds. the structural steel
to 250,000 pounds, the cast iron to 600.-
900 pounds. The sheet piling driven
has amounted to 100000 lineal
feet. the bearing piles to 10000 lineal
feet
These figures will give some idea of
the gigantic size of the enterprise
which the engineers of the reclamation
service have in hand in the reclama-
tion of 1.303.600 acres of arid land.

CANAL DISCUSSION.
Senator Morgan Thinks Two Canals
Will Be Needed.

Washington.-The Senate spent four
hours Friday in discussing the Panama
canal emergency appropriation bill.
and when it adjourned the bill was still
under consideration. There were set
speeches by Messrs. Teller Scott and
Morgan, and they We're followed by a
general debate in which all phases OF
the controversy were exploited. includ-
ing salaries, control of the Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
legislation on the canal subject
Scott and Morgan wanted a canal on
the San Bias route.
Mr.. Allison, chairman OF the com
mittee on appropriations, expressed
the opinion that Congress should take
up the question of salaries in connec-
ton with other canal legislation. He
also said that the status of the Pan
anna railroad should be made the SUBJ
ject of legislation.
Messrs. Teller, Scott and Morgan ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the con-
ditions in Panama. but all indicated a
determination to support the supply
measures necessary to secure the con-
struction of the canal as at present un-
dertaken.
Mr.. Teller advocated a sea level ca
nal; MIR. Scott spoke in support of the
San Bias route as preferable to all
others, and Mr.. Morgan expressed the
opinion that before the Panama canal
is completed another canal will be nee
essary to do the business required.
A separate bill regulating the issu.
ance of bonds for the canal and plac-
ing them on the same basis as other
government bonds was passed without
debate.

BANKER wALsH's cAREEn.
Started Life as Newsboy and Made
Millions.

Chicago-John r. Walsh. whose
banks and railroad enterprises have
tumbled about his ears, is 6S years Of
age and has lived in Chicago fifty-eight
years. His parents brought him from
Ireland when he was 10 years of age
and turned him loose to make his way
He began as n newsboy, saved his
money, opened news stand. which
eventually grew into the American
News Company. continued to save his
money. bought bank stock, and in 1882
backed by men who had faith in his
business ability, he founded the Chi
cago National Bank.
He speedily learned the relation be-
tween banking and politics and reached
out for state and county and city funds
and got them. Five years later he
took over the Home Savings Bank.
Then he organized the Equitable Trust
Company and bought the Chicago Her
aid. One year after selling the Her
aid he established the Chicago Chron-
,icle. This gave him a strong political
lever and he became a tremendous
financial and political power. He then
began buying up street railway and gas
systems and dabbling in railroads.
The Southern Indiana railroad, his
pet venture, was too heavy for one man
to carry and it broke his financial
back. He had two opportunities to un-
load it at valuable premium.
Personally he is taciturn and little
given to appearing in public. He has
made and broken many men and built
up vast enterprises. His failures have
not shaken Chicago financial institu-
tions. On the contrary, they are
stronger thereby.
To-day thousands lined up and drew
their money. Nearly $3,000,00O was
paid out. Every grade of humanity
was in the lines, from the millionaire
to the ragged newsboy.
Payment was made in gold, and as
many of the depositors were women,
they Immediately sought secluded cor
ners to conceal their money. One
woman, who seemed much perplexed,
admitted that in her excitement and
haste to get to the bank she had for
gotten to put on her stockings and had
no place to carry her wealth.

Is Disease a Crime :?

Not very long ago. popular magazine

the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
