- HICAGO, March 3.-Thirty or
& more prosecutions are now threat
ened in consequence Of the fail
ure of the banking. institutions Of John
R. Walsh. It was revealed today that
the operations of the former president
Of the Chicago National bank in the
issuing Of dummy notes were
on more stupendous scale than has
heretofore been suspected. Twenty
nine notes, calling for payment Of
$2,628,000, have been uncovered in the
assets of the Chicago National bank.
Drastic action against every man who
has committed a criminal act in con-
nection with the Walsh failure is an
nounced as the policy of the govern
ment in Washington. . Id -
Chicago bankers have cast off re-
straint and today began caustic criti-
cism of the course of the controller of
the currency, William B. Ridgeley, in
connection with the Walsh affairs
Several subpenas were issued at the
instance of Assistant District Attorney
Childs today, in the John R. Walsh
case, which comes before Commissioner
Mark A. Foote week from today,
Strict secrecy was maintained as to
who was cited as witnesses. Four ar.
rests are probable. r.. .s.E*
It was announced today that the en-;
tire railroad holdings Of Walsh had
been disposed Of within a few hours
before the arrest of the former banker
and that the government delayed &C,
tion, at the instance Of the clearing
house, until the transaction was com
pleted. Those who are handling the
case deny that conspiracy to loot the
bank could properly be charged. Il

with death unless they desist from pros

letters are signed "Kneebone."
"Kneebone" was non-union miner

One Of the sensations of the day is
the announcement made Bye prominent
Pinkerton detective, that his agency has
three more written confessions said to
have been made by members of the
"inner circle, which gives details Of
various killings and dynamite outrages
extending over the past five years.
These confessions are in addition to
those made by Harry Orchard and

that additional confessions are in exist

friends of President Meyer and Score

in the state penitentiary here. The

confessions is being kept secret.

Special to The Journal.
HYEW YORK, March 3 .-In the
IN home of j. G.. Phelps-stokes,
the millionaire, at North Point,
there gathered today the most remark
able assemblage of socialists ever called
together to discuss the. tenets Of their
political belief. Men Of millions rubbed
elbows with settlement workers possess
ing not a cent, and men prominent in
the affairs Of New York entered into
friendly debate with those occupying
the lowliest situations in life. The
meeting is to last for four days and,
should certain difficult problems remain
unsettled, may continue for a week
or more. .* p.
The first session Of the sociaistic
conference was opened by Mr.. Stokes,
who, after a few words outlining the
purpose Of the gathering, presented his
wife, Rose Pastor Stokes. There were
about twenty -fve persons in the room
when Mrs. Stokes began to speak,
among them Robert Hunter, a wealthy
settlement worker and brother-in- law
Of the host; Mrs. Hunter; Joseph Me-
dill Patterson, former commissioner Of
public works Of Chicago, who has just
resigned, and at the same time an
nounced his belief in the tenets Of So
cialism; E. Il. Williams, personal rep
resentative of William R. Hearst, and
others well known in socialistic settle
ment circles. 4 IL. 49, g." $3.50.
|. Chicago ''M O." Fails. .a
Z It was the contention of most Of
those present that the reform wave that
elected Mayor Dunno in Chicago and
which nearly brought victory to Hearst
in New York, does not fully meet the
present civic and economic conditions
in the United States. Mr.. Patterson
will be one to take this stand, and it
was said that Mr.. Stokes, who was a
candidate for president of the board
of aldermen on the Hearst ticket, will
express views even more radical than
those made by Mr.. Patterson.
Mr.. Stokes, the host of this most un-
usual weekend party, derives most OF
his knowledge Of socialism from his
working girl wife, who was a child OF
the Jewry. In introducing her as the
first speaker, accordingly, he made ref
erence to the debt he owed her.
