Quiet Ceremony
Is Planned For
Mallory Funeral

In accordance with Senator Eallory's
special request no Congressional COM
mittee will be appointed to attend his
funeral. Senator Mallory was an un-
ostentatious man and did not desire a
great funeral or that his final obsequies
be accompanied by any unusual cere-
mony. His wish that no committee be
appointed was conveyed TO Washington
last night in a dispatch from his ply
sician. DR.. 3. L Kennedy. to Amos E..
Lewis. Senator Mallory's secretary.
This dispatch read: The Senator IS
dying Notify Talliaferro. Notify the
sergeant-at-arms. Express wish that no
committee be appointed"
Ordinarily a large committee. consist
ing Of the members Of the delegation
from the State and various colleagues,
would be appointed by the Vice Presi-
dent and Speaker. 1t is understood,
however, that Senator Mallory, knowing
many Of the Senators had gone homs
for the holidays, did not desire that
they be called upon for a service OF
this kind. There have been a few cases
in which Senator's have made simli6r
requests as 20 their funerals, but in
the great majority Of cases committees
are appointed The late Senator Cor

 When Thomas Jett and c. L. Huyc were arraigned this morning, they stated practically the same facts as dio Mir. Jackson. Mir Jett stated that ne and his brothers used their machine lo run to their brick yard. some twenty one miles from the city, because the trains did not run at proper times for them to make the trips by rail. They usually make the trip, he says, n one and half hours. but if required 10 conform to the city ordinance and the State law, and, thereby consume three hours in the trip. they will use horse and buggy, with which they can make the "trip quicker. Mr. Huyc seemed considerably wrought up over the subject. He said that anyone who knows anything or automobiles, can readily see that eight miles per nour is ridiculcusiy TOW rate of speed--one calculated to render an automobila practically useless.

WALSH TRIAL DRAGS
EXPERT TESTIMONY ON BOND vAL-
 UES IS GIVEN.
Private Book-keeper of The Indicted Broker Tells Court of Misstate- ments Made To Chicago
 Clearing House.

Chicago, Nov. 29-Expert testimony intended to show the methods employ ed by bond brokers to determine pond values, was introduced in the triai or John R. Walsh in the Federal District Court here today.
 IA " Harris, vice president of the N. w. Harris and Company, and or the Harris Trust and pavings Bank, bankers and brokers, was witness. one of the charges brought by the prosecution is that Walsh, in puiioihs up his railroads and other properties' isued bonds to the extent of millions of dollars when the corporations swere carrving little or nothing and that the bonds were either sold to the Chicago National Banker who used them as security for the memorandum notes oy the means of which Walsh's alleged diversions of funds are said to have been accomplished
 MT. Harris testified that it was GUS tomary fer bond dealers to send experts to determine the earning power Of the property upon which the bonds were issued. They would insist, he said, that the stockholders should have money in- vested in the enterprise under investi- gation, but the earning power would play the chief part in fixing the value of the bonds.
 If the bonds were in demand he said, they WOulu Scll Oh NiiO ce@aA'S ee- sis as similar bonds of other corpora tions. If not in demand, their value would be fixed by comparison with oth- CT similar bonds not in demand
 The earning power for q period or at least six months. the witness said' was essential to a proper determination of the value of bonds of any corpor- ation. According to evidence previous ly presented, the bankrupt Evansville and Richmond Railway was purchased by Walsh for $175.000. The prosecu- tion charges that the road was pur- chased with funds of the Chicago Ma tional Bank and that on the property, when renamed the Southern Indiana Railway, $6,OOO,0O0 of bonds were is- sued by Walsh. $4.000,000 being first and s2.O00, 900 second mortgage bonds
 B. B. Mckay, formerly private bookkeeper in the employ Of Walsh, admitted that misstatements occurred in reports made to the Chicago Clear ing House Association. and to the Comptroller of the Currency, purport- ing to show the condition of the Chi cago National Bank. prior to its faii- ure.
