icyholders' committee Of the New York

WALSH'S ACTS
TO Be SUBJECTED
To SCRUTINY

Chicago March 1e-Details OF every
transaction I'm which the Chicago Ma
tional bank figured in the last three years
OF it's existence will be disclosed at the
hearing OF John r. walsh. the former
president OF the institution, II the govern
ment's program can be successfully Gar
red out.
For the first time since Mr.. Walsh was
placed under arrest, the government
showed it's hand Saturday. The broad
scope OF tho inquiry. which contemplates
scrutiny OF every loan made in the three
years was indicated by the serving OF
two subpoenas one In Chicago and the
other In Washington.
The subpoena sent TO the national capi-
tai calls upon 4. =. Kane 10 produce
every report 10 the comptroller made by
the Chicago National during the last
three years: also all correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Walsh and the comptroller's
Office I'm that time.
The other subpoena was served on Otto
A. Kess for ten years connected with
Walsh's Wisconsin Michigan railroad. As
sistant District Attorney Childs asked Mr.
Kess yesterday about the financing OF the
wisconsin Michigan railroad. but the lat
ter refused 10 answer any questions until
called 20 tho stand.
From the comptrollcr's records the gov
eminent intends 90 show that the comp
troller was not satisfied with the way Mr.
Walsh was running the bank as faF back
~ 1893. n was at this time that the first
memorandum notes were disclosed.

18th day OF last February, II was agreed
that when the separate committees or
seven had terminated their work they
should report TO the committee or the
whole We understood this TO mean that
after we had submitted our demands ana
our reasons therefor and you had pre-
pared your reply thereto. the joint COM
mlttee would meet, confer and. all pos
sible. reach an agreement
But il would seem from reading your
reply that all our propositions have been
rejected and that your final decision has
been given. We trust that this concep-
ton of your intention Is incorrect. IL is
our opinion that neither you nor we can
afford TO break off negotiations In this
abrupt manner.
PROPOSES ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
80 far as we and the interests we rep
resent are concerned, we are not willing
to accept any share OF the responsibility
ther meetings should be held and that we
should strive earnestly aud conscientious
ly to reconcile our differences.
while II may me true that on the part
OF the operators there has been no seri-
Gus cause for complaint during the past
three years, we wish TO assure you that
In expressing this opinion you do not
reflect our views. Not only has there been
criticism among the miners. but, what
is more important. there exists much
cause for criticism and complaint. To
such an extent is this true that we feel
IL incumbent upon us 10 say that we
cannot with any degree OF contentment
or satisfaction continue 10 work under
present conditions.
However. we repeat that the interests
involved are so vast that we are not
willing to break off negotiations without
our differences We therefore propose
that further conference or conferences be
held between now and the 1st OF April
IF this suggestion meets with your ap-
proval we will be pleased TO arrange with
you a date upon which our joint COM
mittee may reconvene.'

is San FRANCISCO DOOMED.

There be those who profess to be
ileve that San Francisco is a doomed
city. Racked by earthquake, de-
voured by flames, seouraged with polit-
cal corruption and threatened with
the Big Stick of the Great Father at
Washington, the valiant city, say the
wiseacres, has battled against the
fates in vain. Within a decade, they
say it is feared that San Francisco
will have been wiped off the map and
it's proud name become but a dim an
meeting memory. Benevolent assimila
tion is the thing that threatens Fris
co, and the only choice accorded the
devoted people is as to whether they
shall become citizens of Los Angeles
or Seattle.
For a time the city fathers of Los
Angeles, who originated the benevo
lent assimilation (O movement on the
Pacific coast, were reasonable in their
desire for a greater city, and annexed
only towns, ranches and fruit farms
within a radius of fifty miles. Now
the lust of annexation has passed al
bounds. Zone solid city from Frisco
to San Diego, and that city Los Ange
les' is the war cry of the assimila
tors. according to reports received
in San Francisco, San Diego, 125 miles
to the south, is to be Los Angeles
next victim, and then the n%orthwarc
march to San Francisco, will be be-
gun.
From Seattle reports have also beer
received of the growth of the annexa
ticu movement. Several towns in
Washington have already been
brought within the limits of the north
western metropolis, and if the difficult
ties presented by the state line can be
overcome it is likely Shat efforts will
be made to annex Portland. In that
event it will be but a step of a few
hundreds of miles to San Francisco,
with a fight to a finish between Los
Angeles and Seattle in prospect. Mean
while the people of San Francisco are
shaking in their boots and waiting
the end. This is the story that the
benevolent assimilators are sending
out from the Angel City, but it sounds
too fshy to given credence by the
average man of good horse sense
