WALSH OPERATIONS
GOVERNMENT CLAIMS SECURE
 TIES WERE vAluElESS.
WITHDREW SUM OF S3,396, ,3S9
Prosecutor Scores by Getting Judge to Admit Documents Which, 1t
 Is Claimed, Win Convict.

Chicago. Ill.-Evidence tending to show that bonds of the Walsh railroads were sold to various purchas- CTS at practically the figures they were accepted by the Chicago National bank as collateral for notes, was brought out in the cross-examination of National Bank Examiner Moxey in the Walsh trial Wednesday afternoon. Ten sales aggregating s522,0oo were gone over and identified by date and amount.
 The evidence up to noon showed Walsh to have withdrawn $3396.3S9 of depositors' funds from the Chicago National bank.
 To procure this fortune he deposit ed bonds and stocks which, the gov ernment charges were without mar ket value and used the names of his clerks on memorandum notes.
 Prosecutor Dobyns scored point by getting Judge Anderson to admit mass of documentary evidence. He expressed his qualification by saying:
 The door Is now open for the in- troduction of enough evidence to con- vict a dozen times over"
 The direct examination of MT. Mox- ey was finished early in the afternoon after he had testified to entries pur- porting to show the withdrawal by Walsh of $630000 in a single day in January, 1905, and that notes bearing various signatures amounting to $644.- 900 had been discounted on that day. Moxey's testimony seemingly shows that during the month of January Walsh drew out of the bank $9G5, 900 and that corresponding amount is involved in notes or the sale of bonds of his enterprise.
 All of the memoranda testified to were gone over and the record of the sales of the bonds will be taken up Thursday where 1t left off at ad- journment.

he Powers Trial.

Georgetown, Ky, Nov-In the Ga leb Powers trial Tuesday morning the commonwealth scored a victory by having three jurors removed from the panel for cause without exhausting any more of their peremptory challenges. Two of the jurors discharged are Re publicans, while the politics of the other is doubtful The defense re- taliated by announcing it would chal- lenge the entire second Grant county venire which has reported for jury service on the ground of irregularity and partisan discrimination in its se- lection. This general challenge was based upon the alleged partisanship of Deputy Sheriff Jack Chipman and Ar
 thur Goebel, who accompanied the sheriff's party. Over the objection of the Commonwealth the motion and affi- davits rendered by the defense, chal- lenging the second Grant county ve- nire, were allowed to be filed. The court granted States Attorney Frank lin time to examine the documents with a view of filing counter aftidavits.

Chicago to Lift Lid.

Chicago, Nov.-Direct reports to the Chicago Clearing House from hun dreds of Western cities encourage To- cal bankers to believe that resump- tion of cash payments will be possible within a fortnight When the Clear ing House Committee met, the mem bers had before them more than 800 letters in reply to the circular letter sent out last week asking for state ments of conditions throughout the West. Practically all the letters, it was announced, expressed a willing ness to cooperate with the Chicago bankers in resuming cash basis. There was considerable diversity of opinion. however, as to how a general resumption should be brought about Some thought it feasible to lift the lid in every banking center on the same day; others that the loosenins of cash should be a gradual movement beginning in the East and spreading to other parts of the country.

FOREIGNERS RUSH HOME.
Export Shippers Are Menaeed by serI.
 ous Freight Congestion.

New York, N. Y.-Serious freight congestion threatens all foreign ship pers because Of the unprecedented homeward rush of foreigners. Tho eastward bound steerage travel during the past six weeks has been unparal- leled and the demand for accommo- dations has been so great that book ings have been closed weeks in ad- vance of sailings. The Main of the North German Lloyd line. which sailed Thursday, carried 2.365 steerage pas sengers. and even up to the minute of sailing there were hundreds of per sons waiting on the piers for aecomo- datlons. Bookings for steerage on the Seydlitz of the same line. which is to sail Wednesday next, has been closed for several days and no more steerage tickets are being sold for the koenig Albert, which will sail Nov. 30 for Mediterranean ports.

GOLD LEAVING GERMANY.
Wall Street Conditions Has Good Ef.
 feet on German Financiers.

Berlin. Germany.-Gold continues to leave Germany in a steady stream. The Reichbank lost probably s3,000,- 900 during the past week, but the stock has been more than replenished through arrivals from home sources. The Reichbank is trying to increase it's gold supply by paying out bank notes of small denominations which re- gently became available for cireula- tion.
 The impression here Is that most of the gold taken for the United States during the week was drawn from the open market. The tendency shown in Wall street the past few days has had calming effect upon the minds of the financial community and the hope Is now entertained that gradual recov. cry will now set in in the United States.

WILL RESUME CASH BAS s
New York Banks Will Soon Be Meet.
 ing All Demands in Cash.

New York, Nov.-New York bank. CTS are expecting a resumption of cash payments in lieu of the check system, which has been employed dur Ing the present financial stringency. within very short time. The return 10 strictly cash basis in the banking transactions is largely dependent uuon the loan rates on money. These rates are steadily declining and call money went practically begging in Wall street late Tuesday at three per cent and oe.oW. Rates in time loans continue comparatively high, but are gradually being reduced. As soon as the time loan rate reaches 6 per cent it is be- lieved the bankers will feel assured enough of their position to resume cash payments.
 Ne" circulation from the issue of three per cent treasury certificates of Indebtedness will be available within few days and this will be an fmpor- tant factor in hastening the return to the usual banking conditions The premium on currency was in evidence again Tuesday, but the rates were nominal and the demand comparative ly light. The early disappearance of all premiums is freely predicted While it is declared that the New York banks are in position to resume currency payments having been made within the last few days, they are said to be awaiting assurance from the interior that the wants of the cities there have been satisfactorily supplied. So long as the interior demands are heavy the New York banks are inclined to hold their currency in readiness for transfer and then ask the indulgence of their local patrons to the extent of accepting checks, which will be han died with comparatively little ineon- yenience

U. 6. SUPREME COURT JURiST
 CONDEMNS PRESIDENT.
CONTRASTS HIM WITH GOV. HUGHES
rel Over Simplified Spelling, He Says.

New York.-Justice David J. Brew CT, of the United States Supreme Court, speaking before large and distinguished audience in Carnegie Hall, criticised and condemned Pres ident Roosevelt, accusing him among other things of playing a political game of hide-and-seek with the Amer ican people.
 The speaker drew an open compari- son between Roosevelt and Hughes, saying, ironically, that while it had been said of Roosevelt, while gover- nor of New York, that he had discov- cred the Ten Commandments, Cover nor Hughes had done more-he had discovered the Golden Rule
 Justice Brewer was frequently ap- plauded. His address, delivered, as 1t was, at the opening public meeting of the Civic Forum, new non partisan, non-sectarian organization, and follow ing, as it did, speech by Governor Hughes, in which many in the audi ence believed they saw a yelled at tack on the president, created a pro found impression. Justice Brewer said, in part:
 Hide and Seek Player.
 "The spectacle of our strenuous president playing hide-and seek with the American people would not now be before us if the original provision of the congress that drafted the con stitution were in effect. That pre- scribed presidential term of seven years. with a prohibition on re-elec- tion.
 Tn the judgment of many-and l am among them-the change from that provision was mistake"
 He described a public officer as a ruler almost as absolute, while his term lasts, as a king.
 But Justice Brewer was careful to point out that a rulers judgment should be upon important matters only He said, for instance: 'It is foolish for a president to quarrel over simplified spelling" and this brought out a roar of laughter.
