WALSH HAD TOOL
FOR BANK LOANS
One Man Signed Dummy Notes
for Millions and Fooled
Examiners.

Journal Special Service. s
Chicago, March 5.-Light has been
thrown for the first time up6n the exact
nature Of the basis for the charges
against John r. Walsh. Tt is known
that all of the so-called memoran-
dunn notes which it is said he used
to deceive the national bank examin-
names, were signed by one man, an
assistant or employee Of the banker IS.
He is known to the federal attor-
neys, but it is felt that; there is slight
possibility of his arrest, as it is held
that he simply was acting under orders.
Ever since the arrest of Mr.. Walsh.
the publication of thee ompl aint against
him and the repeated statement that
memorandum notes played part in
the alleged Justification Of his report
to the controller of the currency, there
have sprung up many stories Of fur
Their arrests and scompi eated statements
of cause for them. The cause for the
principal IS detention and exact steps
of the method which led to his down
fall have remained unexplained, with q
consequent general ignorance as to the
status of his case.

EQUAL TAX REPORTED

Special to ''The Jersey city News.')
4 TRENTON, Mar. p. 1906.-The
Perkins railroad tax bill, better known as
the Administrators equal tax measure,
was favorably reported by the Senate Ju-
ciary Committee late last night, after a
long executive session of the Senators,
and to-day was placed on the calendar
for third reading and final passage.
It is expected that the Senate will pass
the bill as it came from the House with
the Martin amendment eliminated. at this
afternoons session. Fifteen Senators
are pledged TO vote it, as they promised
to do at the executive session. 1t is pro-
posed that the Perkins bill shall become
law before adjournment for the week
and shall have the Governors signature
affixed by the end Of the week.
This is done because distribution act
must be passed and this cannot be done
until after the Perkins bill becomes a
law.s

TRENTON. March 21, 19oe--It now
looks as if Chairman Avis, Of the Sem
ate Miscellaneous Business Committee,
will not report the committees substi-
tute on the Bishops bills until next week.
He announced last night that he had
not reached inclusion as to what the
provisions of the committees bill shall
contain and until ne had satisfied himself
that they would receive the approval of
the majority of Senators he would not re-
port the measure.
The delay caused by Chairman Avis's
refusal to make report is hailed with
delight by representatives of the brewers
and liquor men here. They recognize
that the longer the delay the less the
danger of final passage Of the measure
in both Houses before final adjournment
They also believe that the delay Of the
committee to report will force the advo-
Gates of the Bishops bills to make some
important compromises rather than run
the risk of having the bill held up until
it is too late to pass it.
The coneensus of opinion among men

SUNSET Law BEATEN

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'D
TRENTON, March 81, 1906 Assem-
blyman Woolley of Hudson received a
severe shock yesterday afternoon when
his pet measure limiting the hours for the
opening and closing of the polls on elec-
tion day between 6 A. NJ and p. NJ
was defeated by an overwhelming vote.
He did not anticipate this result. In
fact. he was led to believe that his bili
was a popular measure among Republic
cans as it would have a tendency to pre-
vent fraud and ballot-box stufing If such
were committed under the cover of dark
ness
Mr.. Woolley defended his bin by say
ing that it conformed to the New York
law and had lots of influence behind it.
He said there was no apparent reason
why the polls should be kept open from
sunrise until P. NJ, because working
men who desired to vote could do so be-
fore they went to work and did not have
to wait until they returned home to exer-
else such right.
Assem- nblymen Wright and Marelli, Of
Paterson, led the attack on the bill. They
declared that these same hours had been
tried once before by the Republican
party with disastrous results and that
Sunset law" would tend to deprive
thousands of working men Of their votes
Messrs. Perkins, Morgan, Scovel and
Bierck also attacked the measure and
when vote was taken there were only
FIVE votes recorded in the Affirmative and
46 against it,
Mr.. Woolley said afterwards that he
would make mo further effort to revive
the bill.

ED $500 TO BEAUTIFY THE

Another unsuccessful attempt was
made last night to force the Board OF
Aldermen to pass a resolution asking
Mayor Pagan to appoint a Shade Tree
Commission in accordance with law
passed at the last session of the Legs
lature. The Rev. John D. Heindel, OF
the Church of tine Redeemer headed
large delegation from the Greenville sec
ton, who insisted on fhe appointment of
such a commission. He said that rhe
man who was not in favor of the APP
pointment of such a commission ought
TO be elected from jersey City.
Nearly all the members in the lobby
hailed from Greenyilie.
Carl Baumwart Secretary Of the State
Shade Tree Commission, who had been
invited to speak, and who lives in New
ark, got sadly mixed up in his statistical
notes when quizzed by Alderman Sheehy
OF IHo ioeEUuU W nxu' SUt Se1AA AS osA,
that the City of Newark had appropri4
ated $500 in the latter part of 1904 for
shade trees. and finding that it had prov
ed advanta geous, appropriated $1,000
for 1905. In his argument with Alder
man Sheehey he said that considerable
of the money collected by fees under the
law would be turned into the treasury.
A Mr.. Swartz, who took a prominent
part in the debate, was asked by Alder
man Sheehey if he wasn't looking for a
position as one Of the Shade Tree Conn
missioners He Indignantly replied
No: am not looking for the appoint
ment. but amy citizen who is looking for
such an appointment should feel proud"
President Mccarthy voted with the
majority in order that he could be in
position to move for a reconsideration OF
hast nights action Of the Board.
Mr.. swartz, in dramatic manner
asked the Board what the City could
possibly show any stranger in the way
Of beauty of 'sour" town. Alderman
Sheehey called the speakers attention to
the City Han, the Public Library and
the New High School.
Among the other principal features of
the meeting was fight as to whether
the City should care for the INDECENT

ernor John w. Griggs appeared before
the Public Health Committee Of the
House last evening to advocate the adop-
tion of Assenblyman Berg's osteopathy i
measure. He denounced the narrowness
of the medical profession in opposing
osteopathy in this STATE and said that
it was a science which could not be ig-
snored by the medical profession, as thou
sands of people throughout the country
believed in it.
The hearing vas attended by many
medical practitioners throughout the
State. Many Of them opposed the oste-
opathists. while others favored them. It
is generally thought the committee will
report the Berg bill favorahiy.

sonal aide scored triumph in the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon, when his pet
measure intended to reorganize the mill
tary forces of the State to comply with
the Dick National Military law, was
passed without even so much as a kick.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen said that the State
had only one more year in which to take
advantage of the $23, 600 year that it
would get out of the national appropr;a-
tion and that the bill had the support Of
the officers of New Jerseys National

wards and to confirm their action, which
bill applies to Paterson, was taken up,
there was spirited debate between Sen
ators Afinturn and Mckee The latter
defended the bill and explained the con-
ditions as it existed in Paterson.
Senator Minturn said that the matter
which the bill treated was now in the
Supreme Court and that the bill was
aimed to anticipate the courts decision
and to take. certain powers from the pres
ent Democratic Mayor Of Paterson. He
read a le5ter from William B. Gourley, Of
Paterson, protesting against the passage
of the bill and termed it political ger
rymander.
The bill was passed by a strict patty

FINAL VOTE OF FoRTY-sIx TO
TWELVE SECURED VICTORY TO
THE DELIGHT OF ALL sURBAS-s
TIES.
(speeial .tc .The Jersey ely .News.''l )

TRENTON, Mar. 81. 1906 There
was an animated discussion in the House
yesterday afternoon when the Wakelea
trolley freight bin was takensup for con-
sideration. The Speaker was Behind the
bia and as a result it was rushed through
second reading to final adoption in quick
er time than it takes an ordinary meas
ure to go through the House. That the
Governor will sign it is regarded as
foregone conclusion.
When the measure was up for second
reading, Mr. Marelli, of Paterson, want
ed to put in some amendments because
he feared there was a colored gentleman
hidden somewhere in the bill.
He offered an amendment providing
for the consent Of at least one-half the
owners of the hneal feet along the line
before any trolley road could carry
freight and the limit for such traffic be
restricted to twenty years
In support of his amendment, Mr..
Marelh said that he feared the company
which asked for permission to carry
freight was going to get some special
privileges by the Wakelee bill unless it
was amended. He also advocated that
a stipulated time should be set for sucil
privileges.
Speaker Robbins called Assemblyman
Barber, of Mercer, to the chair while he
took the floor to oppose the Marelli
amendments. He said the bin was
strongly favored BY the farmers and
they did not want any amendments to the
bill that would render it more difficult
to obtain what was wanted.
Leader Perkins also attacked the
MareTli amendments. He said it was
not necessary to tack a limited franchise
provision to the bill. as limited franchise
legislation would soon be enacted by the
Legislature whereby the life OF COM
pany to operate trolley road would be
regulated. The State Board of Equali-
zation had told the Judiciary Committee
that the farmers paid more taxes in pro-
portion than the railroads or any one
else.
