BANKER WALSH'S CASE.
Unusual Attempt at Chicago Trial to
Impeach Witness Testimony.

CHICAGO, November 2S.-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Fletcher DoLyns, chief OF
the counsel for the government in the
misapplying funds of the defunct Chi
cago National Bank. made an unusual at
tempt to impeach the testimony of 3. B.
Mckay, former private secretary to the
defendant, in the federal court yester-
day. The attempt was made because Nc
Kay, who has been on the stand nearly
three days as government witness,
failed to answer questions satisfactorily.
Judge Anderson ruled against the govern
ments course because he considered that
Mr.. Dobyns had failed to lay proper
foundation for such action.
The forgetfulness of Mckay brought
an early clash with Mr.. Dobyns. The

with it check for a like amount to Mr..
Walsh's private account. On his failure
to remember Mr.. Dobyns asked if he had
not so testified before the federal grand
jury that indicted his former employer.
THE happenings of a grand jury are
supposed to be secret interposed At
torney Miller for the defense. THE gov
eminent cannot impeach it's own witness
in this manner"
Judge Anderson sustained the 'proce-
dure but ruled for the defense because
foundation of the impeachment had not
been laid. The government attorney then
endeavored to establish a foundation, but
the failure of the witness to reco,lect any
thing but generalities baked him.
The court ordered all references to the
grand Jury stricken from the record.
Judge Anderson ordered an adjournment
until Friday.

PROBING TOBACCO TRADE.
Hearing in Case Of Uncle Sam
Against ALLEGED Trust.

NEW YORK. November 2S.-The nature
of the relations existing between the
American Tobacco Company and the
large number of retail stores through
out the country. was inquired into at yes
terdavs session in case of the hearing in
the United States against the so-called
tobacco trust. The hearing is taking
place before United States Commissioner
Shields. While it was not established by
direct admission that the relations were
absolutely controlled by the American
Tobacco Company, much of the testimony
was to the effect that unusually close re-
lations existed between the two COM
panies.
P. o. Hill. vice president of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, was the only
witness examined today. He said that
while he never knew of a specific denial
of the report that the United Cigar Stores
Company was owned by the American
Tobacco Company. he did not recall that
such ownership had ever been admitted.
He said he had very little knowledge of
the management of the United Cigar
Stores Company. He did know, how
ever. that for several months past his
company had been selling goods direct to
the United Cigar Stores Company. giving
it the benefit of the regular trade dis
the use of the American Company s
products. These discounts amount to
from to 10 per cent besides the usual
discount of per cent for cash.
Mr.. Hill said the American Company
sells to no other retail tobacconists in

money to start the business OF the United

Thirty Taxpayers Whose Assessments Had Been Raised Appear, Hut Gen- erally without Manifestations
 C0ntinuedSAn Week. t

The Board of Equalization of Mont gomery County yesterday morning be- gan hearing complaints against assess ments recently made by the Board on real estate and personal property in this county.

two and a half cent passenger rate bill. It was justly argued that that rate for small and struggling road. where traffic was light. would be murderous to some of the smaller railroad corpore- tions of the State. The argument car ried weight with the members of the Legislature and the small Toads were given a fighting chance.
 Now on the same plea they are com ing to the Legislature and asking that they be<given the same show on freight rates. The bill will provide that the law made rates shall not apply to roads less than one hundred miles in length. but that on those roads the Railroad Commission may fix rates.
 Unless the Governor announces his opposition to the measure. strong fight will be made for 1t.
 There are many of these small roads in the State struggling to get foot hold and struggling for an extension of their lines. In many instances these roads were formerly logsiug roads which have been transformed into freight and passenger roads and of the country.

TO GET REAL MONEY
TEAsLEY ANTI-sCRIPT BILL LIKE
 LY TO PASN
Abosishes Practice of Dealisgs |. wit.- ness Certificates In Montgomery County and Makes Fees Pay
 able Without Delay.

/ The Teasley bill to pay witnesses or Montgomery County in real money will in all probability pass both houses Of the Legislature. The measure was fa- vorably reported yesterday by the Com mittee on Finance and Taxation of the Senate
 The bill carries a reform which has for long time been discussed in Mont gomery County, but which has not nn- til now been carried into effect. Mont gomery. one of the richest counties of the State. has been one of the poorest. in the payment of the witnesses who come to assist justice in the courts
 The Teasley bill will abolish the practice of script" buying in Mont gomery County All outstanding claims against the fine and forfeiture fund of the county. however. will have to be paid before the bill goes into ef- feet. if the Legislature passes it. When these outstanding accounts are paid, the Fine and Forfeiture Fund will be maintained as reserve which will assure every witness appearing in court for the State that he will be paid his claim for mileage and attendance
 The bill provides for the payment Of StatA witnesses in cases in which @ conviction failed. Witnesses who ap- pear in the interest of the State will be paid out f the Fine and Forfeiture Fund, without having to wait. In the past such witnesses. if they ever got their money. had to wait long time and the only cases in which they re- .ceived money were cases in which con- victfons were had.
 Under this condition. the business of script buying" flourished. The holder of witness certificate was willing to sell it for a few cents and the buyer could wait until the convict had worked out his costs and then collect the full amount.
