Chief John z. Wilkic, Of the Secret
Service. last night received a telegram
from Durango, Colo, informing him Of
the murder Of United States Secret Serv-
ice Agent Joseph A. Walker. who for the
past twelve years had been in charge Of
the Denver district Of the Secret Service.
The telegram gave no details regarding
the manner Of Walkers death. except TO
state that it was the work OF an assas-
sin. Walker had been one Of the most
reliable men in the service in the West
ern districts.
Land-fraud Gases.
fen months ago he was detailed to the
Department Of Justice to aid in securing
evidence in the Iand-fraud cases in Colo
rsdo and New Mexico. He had since been
employed in this investigation.
Accompanied by two coal experts, he
left Durango last week 20 locate veins OF
coal on lands fifteen miles from Durango,
which had been fled as agricultural
lands by alleged homesteaders. 1t was
while tracing coal veins on land recently
taken from the public domain that ne
was killed.
The governments efforts to end coal
/ land frauds have been going on for some
| time. Land known to contain mineral
deposits is often hled upon by coal com
/ pany employees in the guise OF settlers.
and, after title is obtained. the coal com
/ pany takes possession and mines are
| opened
At Time of Death.
II was while investigating one OF these
/ cases that Walker was killed.
/ Prior TO going to Denver. Walker was a
/ member OF the Secret Service in Wash
ington, and for some years was the pri-
4 vste secretary Of one OF the Assistant
/ Secretaries of the Treasury under Presi-
dent Cleveland When Walker removed
10 Denver, his family accompanied him.
and none Of his relatives is now in Wash
ington.

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

The publication Of reports to the effect
that the President is being urged 10 call
an extra session Of Congress TO deal with
the financial situation, that he will urge
amendments TO the financial laws. and
also a national incorporation law. as set
forth in his Provincetown speech. is an
attempt on the part Of the President to
prepare the public mind for some ve~y
bold measures of departure in legislation.
according 10 Representative John Sharp
Williams. the Senator-elect from Missis-
sippi. and the leader Of his party in the
House.
There is no cause for an extra session
of Congress TO consider the financial situ-
alton" said Mr.. Williams last night If
one were called by the President. no re-
suit would be obtained except TO precipi-
tate the House of Representatives and
the Senate into the passage Of legislation
under quasi panic feeling without suf1-
cient deliberation.
THE Presidents idea that great Grim
inals cannot be punished or great evils
corrected without conferring upon the
Federal government the power Of ma
tional Incorporation Of all concerns en-
gagged in interstate commerce is very
mistaken one" added Mr. Williams. The
Presidents chief mistake consists in the
fact that he has seemingly forgotten that
a corporation per Sc cannot commit crime:
that whenever a corporate action results
in public hurt it isand must be due to
some man or some men who have used
or misused corporate power
Hold Men Responsible.
"A corporation not only has no soul.
but is not a sentient being and cannot
as such commit a crime. Under the Law
as written now the man. or men. who
use II 10 violate law can be held TO strict
personal liability, and nothing short OF
so holding them will stop the great evil.
